General Young Praised.


General Laurence w. Young, recent
ly commissioned by the president as
brigadier general commanding the
North Carolina troops, has a face
and figure that are built on military
lines. So has Major Glenn Brown and
Zollicoffer and Guy Winthrop and
Koon of the Asheville company, and
Zollicoffer's first lieutenant and many
others-but this is about Gen. Young.
The new commanding officer OF
the brigade stands all Of six feet two
in his socks. He is straight and steps
out like a West Pointer. He may be
found at the most out-Of.the-way
places almost any time Of the day:
hardly ever at brigade headquarters.
He is acute, direct and practical. He
never breaks into an "officer's call,
which he often does, unless he has
something Immediately important to
say. He carries no suggestion OF as
sumption. His manner invites remark
or suggestion from the lowest rank
ing officer present He is young, looks
not over 40, OF ford complexion,
comely presence, and an eye that IS
a firm, full, generous blue, but watch
full withal. If he has an interruption
that seems unimportant, he brushes it
aside, and goes on. In his talks,
which are few and brief, he has con-
sistently an end which is big with
meaning for all the men. He is quick
in decision, but equally quick to
change if he can "be shown" His hold
upon men is somewhat magnetic-that
is they seem to have for him some
thing more than respect-call it what
you will. Should the troops go to
the border-no matter whether or not
they be scattered in battalion detach-
ments, General Young from his head
quarters, may be relied upon to come
to any decisive conclusion or order,
only after such a careful consideration
as will cover with good judgment, the
situation in hand. and more than this,
the officers who know his whole make
up believe this.

ment has been completed and the re-
ports show that the regiment lacks
only "a men of being at minimum
war strength, IS men to the company.

Captain Horton Home.
Capt. w. G. Horton, Raleigh, who
has been one of the medical officers
conducting examinations for muster,
secured seven days leave of absence
which he will spend in Raleigh. Cap
tain Horton left on the afternoon
train. Col. George L. Peterson has re-
turned after leave of absence, bring
ing his wife and children to Morehead
City.

battalion, third infantry, who has just

Caught a Shark.
Jack Bowen, Raleigh boy at More.
head City, has the shark record for the
summer thus far. While holding a
bath robe for long-distance swimmer
at Morehead, Jack saw a large shark
sliding about near the swimmer. A
hook and line were nearby. The shark
took the bait easily, and after being
half drowned and worn out in the tus-
sci was dragged ashore. It was seven
and half feet in length, and was sus-
pended at the hotel for the inspection
of guests.
Captain Woeten Of the Winston-Sa-
lem company, is somewhat provoked
at not even having received single
man from the recruiting officers sent
out a few days ago. Concord sent in
four, Badin eighteen, and Waynesville
four more, making nineteen from that
town. The eighteen from High Point
| having been stiffly examined before
| leaving, passed without one rejection.
A number of men temporarily are
ailing from the effects of typhoid and
| smallpox vaccination, and some of
them under the heat this morning
had TO drop out at inspection and
were laid out under trees.
