CAMP GREENE
AND CHARLOTTE
Western Soldiers Pleased With
Charlotte and Vice Versa-Pay
Roll Around $500, 900 Soldiers
Fare Well.

Charlotte is pleased with the Wes
tern soldiers and the Western sold
iers are pleased with Charlotte. That
was the conclusion I came to after
visiting Charlotte and Camp Greene
recently. The people of Charlotte
treat, thesoldiers right and the sol
diers in turn treat the citizens of the
city right.
The thing that impressed me most
was the good order that prevailed
among the soldiers. AS one citizen
of Charlotte remarked to US, "they act
the gentleman in every respect. Wis
itors to the camp are cordially greet
ed by the soldiers. They seem to ap-
preciate the presence of civilians.
It is five miles through the camp
the way I went and did not learn
how far it reached the other way.
There are around $4,000 men at the
camp already and more to follow.
Judging from general appearances
the welfare of the soldier is safely
| guarded. If the accommodations at
all of the cantonments are the same
Il suppose they are), there will be
many young men who will fare much
better in camp than they have Jared
at home.
Saturday, October 13, was the first
payday at Camp Greene and around
$500,O00 was paid out to soldiers and
employees at the camp. Charlotte
was full of khaki-clad men and the
business men Of Charlotte probably
never experienced anything like Sat
urday night. Stores, cafes, hotels
and all places of business were over.
run. The soldiers were spending
money and having a general gooe
time, but having it in the right way
The soldiers are church-goers. AL

vices.
