at Morehead city-DaiIy Drills for
the Boys In Khaki.
Camp Glenn,-Considerin the mate
rial at hand to work with sanitary ar
rangem ents at Camp Glenn are good,
considering the conditions in the
towns and cities of North Carolina,
they are truly remarkable" declared
DIR. w. S. Rankin, secretary of the
state board of health, who completed
q sanitary survey of Camp Glenn. DR..
Rankin, returned ito Raleigh where he
will make up a report on his findings.
He went over the camp thoroughly, in
specting water supplies, handling of
food, kitchen arrangements and the
methods of disposition OF waste as
well as sewage. This encampment
DR.. Rankin believes, should teach
North Carolina a lesson in sanitation.
IF such things are possible in Camp
Glenn they are possible certainly in
any city of the state.
First is Spick and Span.
Every company of the First North
Carolina Infantry at $3.50 o'clock was
in spic and span order when Lieuten-
ant Colonel Delamere Skerrette, U. S.
A., inspector generals department, &C
cording to previous announcement,
stepped into camp.
The tents were struck and furled, the
cots were in orderly rows and each
mans equipment and clothing were SO
disposed as to make possible quick In
spectiOn. The men were formed by
compares in their streets, with guns
and side arms for the inspection that
followed. Every detail had been ar
ranged with care, under supervision of
the officers.
Some May Go Home.
The following telegram was announc-
ed at headquarters:
Camp Glenn.-The following tele-
gram was announced at headquarters:
-'The Secretary of War directs OBJ
:serVance of the following rules in case
of enlisted men of the National Guard
or militia called into service Of the
United States, who have dependent
relatives. First department command
ers may issue discharges from SER
cations for discharge are made in due
form through military channels to de-
partment commanders setting forth
that the applicant has one or more
relatives who are dependent upon him
for support, the application to be &C
companied by written evidence of the
dependency"
The indications are that quite a
few of the married men will make ap-
plication for discharge. The COM
panies of the First Regiment show
the following as an estimate of the
number who will make such applica-
ton: A, Hickory, Is; B, Gastonia,
II; c, Winston-Salem, IL; D, Char
lotte 2; 3, Statesville, 10; F, Ashe-
Vile, 10; G, Shelby, 2; H, Waynes-
vile, IL; I, Mount Airy, 8; K, Ashe-
Vile, u; L, Concord, 2; M, High
Point, IA.
Colonel Gardner stated that the
mere fact that man was married
and made application to go home
would not mean a favorable consid-
Grafton of the application.
GA man must show that he has a
dependent family and that he provid-
ed for his family before he was called
to camp" said the commander of the
First.

in honor Of Governor-to-be T. w. Bick-
EFT, who came over from Morehead on

several days NO one suspected his mis-
sion. Last night Major Flanagan

bride on the way to Morehead City
Camp Glenn only walked UP to the
true situation when letters were re
oeived in camp addressed to Major
and MIRO y r ETnruioro~ M. E1or
