Raleigh, March 14.-Reorganiza-|
tion of the North Carolina National
Guard is satisfactory, according to-
the adjutant generals department of
which Col. John Van B. Metts is
head, there being approximately IL
900 enlisted men and officers already
in service.
These officers and enlisted men
comprise fifteen companies in all
sections of the State. These outfits
have been organized and inspected
by Federal officers since the reorgan-
ization began with the recent War
Department orders from Washington.
Col. Metts has been complimented on
several occasions by Federal officials
with respect to the rapidity with
which the North Carolina National
Guard was being reorganized. This
States guard today is in marked con-
trast to other States which have in
many instances made only begin
ming.
There are five additional compan-
les authorized by the adjutant gen
erals department, all of which will
be inspected within a short time
Two of the latest companies to be
inspected were at Mt Gilead and at
Gastonia. Capt. E. J. Luck heads the
former and Capt. Stephen B. Dolfey
the latter. Both are former service
men. Federal recognition has been
recommended for both of these out
fits and their equipment will be fur
nished at an early date.

Friction betwten the Raleigh
school board, the public and the
teachers which has been the Capital
City's regret for years now reaches
out and brings into the boiling pot
the city superintendent, Harry How
ell.
Much of the trouble is largely
gossip. But there is enough at hand
lschool board is cunning for their
superintendent. Whether he intends
o%quit under fire or send in his re-
signation in advance of the gun does
not appear
There are no charges of any conse-
quence. The school board doubtless
thinks Supt. Howell is not in ac-
!, cord with its members and which is
. Undoubtedly true The women of the
a re who are interested in the schools
sipts frt in sympathy with the board
