Major Baxter Hunter left for Fl
Paso under orders from Washington to
report there to the commanding Off
cer of the Ninth Division as Major
Surgeon. The Ninth division com.
nrises three brigades from North and
South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida
Major Glenn Brown, who preceded
Major Hunter a few days ago, will be
ordnance officer of the division. Col
Hunt considers the departure of these
two officers as the forerunner of an
early movement Of the North Caro-
lima brigade. Capt. w. G. Horton of
Raleigh was named to succeed him as
camp surgeon here. Col. Hunt tele-
graphed to the Division of Military At
fairs at Washington, recommending
the acceptance of Company B of Engi-
neers. Charlotte. 1t was his opinion
that on receipt of his telegram that the
company would forthwith be ordered
to Camp Glenn.

ing, he fell i'll on the train and was
carried to a hospital on arrival at
Goldsboro.
The first general courtmartial of
this encampment met for the pur-
pose of trying two alleged deserters

The brigade hike has been changed
from day hike to a night hike. The
brigade will leave camp a little be-
fore dark and march up the central
highway toward New Bern for a dis
lance of five miles and back. Night
marching will be something new to
the men and officers and they are
looking forward to it with much in
terest.
The new schedule of drills and exer |
else is rather a strenuous one. 1t |
calls for full eight hours of drilling |
every day in the week except Sunday. |
On Saturday competitive drills are |
substituted for the regular schedule. |
