YOUNG is Brigadier General.
The big happening during the Weel
was that President Wilson has ap
pointed Laurence w. Young brigad1e
general in the federalized service o
the National Guard.
General Young received from Gov
enor Craig, at Washington, a tele
gram announcing the glad news.
Colonel Gardener was among tn
first to see the message, and lost n
time in expressing his gratincatlo
and in giving the information to tn
officers Of his regiment.
At the request Of Colonel Gardner
General Young made an informal tai
to all the officers of the First Reg
ment gathered about him in front {
Colonel Gardeners tent under IN
trees.
The General made no referenc
whatever to his promotion, connnln
his remarks to number OF practlc'
matters which the officers snoul
know now.
First the officers were told VIII;
state property to turn In, what
keep. and how to go about 1t.
General Young said he did N
wish the experience CT the first Nor'
Carolina in 1898 repeated. Then TT
loss of property stood against II
state to the amount Of $148,OOO. &c
eral Young has managed to get I'M
cancelled, but he did not wish to nay
to 20 again through such an ordeal.
The next matter CT ncerned recru
Ing. General Young said that the
was scarcely half enough men on u
basis Of war strength for the Fir
Regiment. He thought 1t would
wise to establish recruiting s1aIl'
somewhere In charge OF non-co'
missioned officer, and Colonel Gar
ner could detach the men necessa
for such recruiting purposes. He su
gested, moreover, that Colonel Gal
ner detach a man from each OF T.
seven companies who had to Dorrt
men from other companies In oru
to be mustered in, and let these ln
be sent out at once to replensh I
men lost by reflections. Inc recru
ing officer first mentioned Woulo
list for the regiment to be assign
later to whatever companies might
thought best. Then the Dorro"
men could be returned to their OF
inal local companies.
The men have been mustere'
said the General. 'FWhat we wa
k0
out OVERRIDING it, we need st1H ori
fer the men. In all my WORK y
have backed me up to a man. IL u
work has been successful, 1t mas De
made so by means OF the co-operaIl
Of the men of this regiment.
A working organization Tor recr'
ing will be effected right away
