:
Sir—In compliance with law, I have the honor to submit

1889.

Adjutant General.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
ADJUTANT GENERAL.
On the 17th day of January, 1889, your Excellency did
me the honor to commission me as Adjutant General of
North Carolina. Upon entering upon the duties of the
office, I found, from the last Adjutant General's report, the
entire strength of the State Guard put down as 1,459,
officers and men.. This estimate was made from the Abstract
of Annual Returns for 1888. The entire force consisted of
27 companies of infantry (white), organized into four regi-ments;
one company of cavalry (white), and two companies
of infantry (colored), organized into a battalion. The only
changes that have occurred during the year are, the admis-sion
of one white company (Co. G, 4th Regiment) and the
disbandment of Co. A, 1st Battalion (colored) This com-pany
only mustered 51 per cent, at its annual inspection in
April, 1889, and then failing to parade 75 per cent, of the
minimum number required by statute, at its monthly
parades, it was necessary that it should be disbanded. The
total strength of the State Guard at this time is 1,505,
officers and men, as is shown in the " Official Register," in
which the name of every officer and member of the force is
given. This increase in number of members, without
increase in number of companies, is exceedingly gratifying,
and shows that we are in better condition to-day than ever
before in our history. The companies are all in good con-dition,
every one having more than the minimum allowed
by law, which is 32—in fact, only six companies in the
Guard have less than 40, while five have over 50 members.
8 ANNUAL REPORT.
1 NEW COMPANIES.
A great man}' applications have been received during the
year for permission to form new companies. To all of these
I have sent enlistment rolls, but only one set has ever been
returned to me properly filled out. This was from the town
of Wilson. Permission has been granted this company to
uniform themselves, and as soon as this is done they will be
armed and equipped by the State and admitted to the State
Guard as Company G, 2d Regiment. The very limited
appropriation allowed by the general government, out of
which we are endeavoring to uniform, arm and equip the
State Guard, renders it almost impossible to arm any more
new companies at this time ; but I hope, as soon as possible,
three new companies will be admitted, thus giving each
regiment eight companies, and that after this is accomplished
no more companies will be received, except as one of the old
ones may be disbanded.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Since taking charge of this office, I have written over two
thousand letters in answer to correspondence addressed to
the Adjutant General, and in relation to matters concerning
the State Guard. All letters in regard to quartermaster
stores, arms, &c, I have referred to the Quartermaster Gen-eral,
who has promptly attended to the same, and I have no
doubt the correspondence of his office is very nearly equal
to that of my own.
In computing the above, no account is taken of the many
hundred General Orders, Circulars, Reports, &c, that are
mailed to the State Guard.
Aside from correspondence pertaining directly or indi-rectly
to the State Guard, I am daily in receipt of letters of
inquiry as to record of service of soldiers in the Mexican as
well as in the late civil war.
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 9
Of the record of soldiers in the war with Mexico, I have
only a roster of twelve companies, prepared by General
Jones while Adjutant General, under special act of the Leg-islature.
I am led to believe it to be very incomplete, for of
the numerous letters asking for records of persons in the
Mexican War, I have been able to find only one name asked
for, though the letters give names, date of enlistment, letter
of company, &c. A great many of the letters I receive, wish
the record of service of North Carolinians in the armies of
the United States during the late war. As I have no official
record of this service I am unable to give it ; neither have
I any record of North Carolinians in the Confederate armies,
though man}' old soldiers write to me for information. If
it is possible to supply me with these records, I will take
great pleasure in examining them and answering all letters
in regard to the same.
GENERAL CONDITION.
The attention of your Excellency is particularly called to
the reports from the Chiefs of the several Departments, as
well as those of the Brigade and Regimental Commanders,
and of Colonel Dodge of the U. S. Army, as a better idea of
the general condition of the service can be obtained from
these reports than in any other way possible. Some are
very full, going even beyond the details of the duties of the
officer making the report, still it was made for the best
interest of the service, and much that is of great value is
contained in them all. I have studiously avoided inter-fering
with the duties of others, except when my duties as
Adjutant General or Chief of Staff compelled me to do so,
and my thanks are due to the officers of the Guard for the
kindness and courtesy with which I have been treated by
each and all of them, and their kindness has been especially
gratifying to me in this, my first year, in the most important
10 ANNUAL REPORT.
office in the service, especially so, as the office had been so
well filled for the last twelve years by ray predecessor.
My intercourse with all officers has been of the most
pleasant nature, and the very best of feeling seems to pre-vail
among all branches of the service, and every one seems
to be working solely for the best interest of the Guard, the
only cause of complaint is that some are over zealous, and
instead of attending simply to the duties of their own offices,
they go too far and undertake to regulate the duties of
others with which they have nothing to do.
LAWS.
The attention of your Excellency is also called to the
Digest of Laws relating to the State Guard, that was very
kindly prepared for me by Colonel Thos. H. Sutton, our very
able Judge Advocate General. As your Excellency well
knows, the last Legislature amended the section of The Code
allowing an
ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT,
by adding a proviso authorizing the Governor to draw from
the State Treasury annually the sum of five thousand (5,000)
dollars to defray expenses of such encampment. Being by
this act of the General Assembly enabled to hold an encamp-ment
this year, General Orders Nos. 3 and 4 were issued,
and all arrangements for the encampment perfected.
As the Adjutant General is the only officer- of the State
Guard recognized by law, it was necessary that all contracts
and arrangements for
TRANSPORTATION
should be made by that officer. Had this not been the case,
it would have been but an act of justice to the Quartermaster
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 11
General that I should have attended to the transportation,
for—with the duties imposed upon him by the General Gov-ernment,
under the last act of Congress, increasing the
appropriation for the militia, besides having to prepare the
camp in all its details, making every arrangement for the
comfort and health of the troops, and at the same time per-forming
his duties as Chief of Ordnance—Colonel Olds had
certainly a great deal more to attend to than should fall to
the lot of any one officer, especially so when he receives such
small compensation for his services. I am glad to be able
to report that he performed all the duties imposed upon him
in a most satisfactory manner, in spite of the bad weather
and other disadvantages he had to contend with. I would
be very glad to be relieved of the trouble of arranging all
transportation, if it were possible to do so, but since the
organization of the State Guard this has been attended to
by the Adjutant General, and that officer will have to con-tinue
doing so until the laws shall be changed.
The various railroads leading to Wilmington gave special
rates for the encampment, and all contracts and agreements
were complied with to the letter, and every effort made to
make the trip as comfortable as possible. In order to do
equal justice to all railroads, some of the companies had to
be carried by longer routes than the most direct way from
their homes to Wilmington, but as specials were run for the
accommodation of the military, very little more time was
consumed, and the roads only received pay as by the short
route.
THE CAMP.
Brigadier General Anthony reported to me on the morn-ing
of July 9th, as provided for in General Orders No. 4,
and I directed him to assume command of camp and enter
at once upon the active discharge of his duties as command-ant.
All the companies, except Company E, 2d Regiment,
12 ANNUAL REPORT.
arrived in camp by six o'clock on the evening of July 9th,
and at once went into their quarters. On the morning of
the 10th of July, the camp was formally opened with appro-priate
ceremonies. With the government or details of the
camp I had nothing to do, only giving such instructions as
directed by your Excellenc}7
, who was present in person and
shared all the inconveniences incident to camp life with the
men.
COLONEL DODGE'S REPORT.
I enclose with this report a special report of Col. Richard
Irving Dodge, 11th Infantry U. S. Army, who was detailed
by the Secretary of War to visit our encampment and make
a report of the same. While this report is not all that I
would have wished it to be, still I am sure it is very fair
and will be of great benefit to the Guard, and will', I hope,
tend to raise the standard of discipline, which has hereto-fore
been entirely too lax. Special attention is also called
to the reports of the Inspector General, Quartermaster Gen-eral,
Surgeon General and Brigade Surgeon.
RETURN HOME.
On the morning of the 18th July, camp was broken and
I assumed personal supervision of the embarkment of the
troops. The railroads again faithfully performed their con-tracts,
and the men all reached their homes in safety, with-out
a single accident of any kind to mar the pleasures of
the encampment of 1889.
FUTURE ENCAMPMENTS.
The site donated to the State by the citizens of Wilming-ton
is not yet in a condition to be occupied, and cannot be
made so by next summer, and as the place so generously
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 13
loaned to us for our encampments of 1888-89, and again
tendered us for 1890, is too small to encamp the entire
brigade at one time with any degree of comfort, I most
earnestly recommend that the encampment of 1890 be by
regiments. The Inspector General and Colonels of the
regiments recommend this, and attention is called to their
reports ; in fact, it is the wish of a large majority of the
officers and men that the encampments of the future shall
be by regiments.
There are very many reasons for making this recommen-dation,
aside from the inadequacy of the ground for the
encampment of the brigade. The railroad from Wilmington
to Wrightsville is not prepared to accommodate the tremen-dous
crowd of visitors that, together with the soldiers, are
congregated in the cars and upon the platforms at one time,
and there is great danger of very serious accidents from this
cause, and, besides, " not being able to get on the cars," is
a good excuse for absence from duty, and with so many men
thrown together, not known to the officers themselves, num-bers
escape detection when absent, and this tends to demor-alize
discipline. The companies should all be well up in
the " schools of the soldier and company " before going to
camp, and the great object of the encampment is to instruct
them in battalion drill, and they should be well drilled in
this before attempting to drill as a brigade. Very much
useful and valuable time is lost in forming the brigade, as
the movements are slow and consume time that should be
devoted to battalion drill. Even in the U. S. Army no
attempt is made to have brigade formations, and very few
of the States attempt it, the great object being to make the
regiments as perfect as possible.
THE APPROPRIATION.
As the State only allows five thousand dollars per annum
for the expenses of the encampment, and as the encamp-
14 ANNUAL REPORT.
ments of 1888 and 1889 cost very much over that amount,
so that the men had to bear all their own expenses, except
transportation, it might be well to divide the appropriation
among the regiments in proportion to the number of men in
each, assigning the troop of cavalry temporarily to the first
regiment, then allowing the Colonel of each regiment to
order the encampment of his regiment at such time and
place as he might see proper, to be approved by the Com-mander-
in-Chief. After paying cost of transportation and
incidental expenses, the balance, going to the regiment, can
be used for subsistence, thus the entire cost of an encamp-ment
can be borne out of the annual appropriation. For
instance, if the Colonel of the third regiment should deter-mine
to encamp his regiment on the historic grounds of
Guilford Court-House, allowing that the appropriation for
his regiment would only be $1,150, after paying for trans-portation
he would have at least $900, out of which the men
could be well fed and all incidental expenses paid. The
same would hold good in regard to the other regiments were
they encamped at the most convenient places. The men
should be required to pitch and strike their own tents and
perform all the duties of camp life.
The U. S. Army is each year being practiced in marching,
making short marches each day as if in a regular campaign.
While we are not able to carry out this with our limited
means, a forced march for a short distance would be of great
benefit to the men in teaching them the duties of soldiers.
For instance, if the fourth regiment could be concentrated at
some point on the Western North Carolina Railroad, and
then marched a few miles to some of the many summer
resorts in that section of Western North Carolina, it would be
a lesson that the men would not soon forget, and be of ines-timable
value to them. The march could be made by easy
stages, halting a few minutes at the many beautiful moun-tain
streams for rest and refreshment. Tt is certainly not
necessary that the can^p should be held where great crowds
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 15
congregate, in order that the men may enjoy themselves.
Too much dissipation has a demoralizing effect upon the
men—while, at the same time, there should be a reasonable
amount of pleasure derived from outside influences, they
should be taught to find amusements within themselves.
At least one regiment should be required to encamp at
Wrightsville every year, in order that the men may receive
practical instruction in the use of the sea-coast battery estab-lished
there by the General Government,
RIFLK PRACTICE.
It is very necessary that more attention should be given
to rifle practice, and, to give the men as much instruction as
possible, I would recommend that each regiment be allowed
one Assistant Inspector of Rifle Practice with rank of Cap-tain,
and that there be appointed an Inspector of Rifle Prac-tice
with rank of Colonel. Several hours each day, during
encampment, should be devoted to target practice, and as
many men qualified as marksmen and sharpshooters as
possible, and the list of names of those thus qualified should
be published each year in Adjutant General's report.
AID TO CIVIL POWER.
None of the companies have been called into active service,
except, in one or two instances, they have acted as a guard
at public executions where it was deemed necessary. In each
instance they performed the duties required of them with
cheerfulness, and in a manner entirely satisfactory to those
in authority. In two instances have several companies been
held in readiness to be called out, and one of these might
have proved of very serious moment but for the timely action
taken in the premises. (See special report from Brigadier
General Anthony concerning the trouble at Goldsboro.)
Special attention is also called to the very valuable recom-

mendations of the Colonel of the fourth regiment in. regard
to the use of troops in aid of the civil authorities.
OUR NEEDS.
It is needless for me to call attention to our seeming
defects by making numerous recommendations, when I am
not able to point out the means by which they are to be
corrected. There are some recommendations that can be
made that would undoubtedly be for the best interests of the
Guard, but to carry out the same there would be an expense
that the State has not the money to meet, and it would be a
hardship to require the men to bear the same out of their
own pockets. It is important that all officers should be
required to stand an examination before receiving a com-mission,
and there should be an Examining Board before
whom all officers should be required to appear and pass a
rigid examination. Yet the State has not appropriated the
money to bear the expense of this, and to require the board
to meet without compensation, and the officers to bear their
own expenses to and from the place of examination, would
be more than we have any right to expect of them. When
the time comes that either the State or the General Govern-ment
shall appropriate sufficient money to meet these
expenses, then it will be time enough for me to make the
recommendations. In the meantime, ever}'- effort should be
made to induce Congress, and our own Legislature, to grant
more liberal allowances for the benefit of the service.
THE NATIONAL GUARD ASSOCIATION
meets in Washington, D. C, on February 5th, 1800. It is
believed that much can be done towards inducing Congress
to increase the appropriation for the militia. I shall attend
this meeting, with a delegation of officers from our State,
and we will make every effort to secure the desired appro-
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 17
priation. We well know that in all our efforts we shall have
the hearty cooperation of your Excellency, for you have
shown us by your recommendations to the General Assem-bly
the steps you have heretofore t.iken to have Congress
increase the appropriation, and by other efforts too numerous
to mention, that you are indeed a friend to the State Guard,
and will make every effort possible in their behalf.
UNIFORMS, ETC.
I am very sure the State Guard is in a better condition
than ever before, the men are nearly all uniformed in the
State regulation dress, and all will be before the end of next
year. Their arms and equipments are in the best condition
possible, 25 of the 30 companies have the regulation over-coats,
and all will be supplied in a short time, and in every
wray possible the equipment of the force is being perfected,
so that at the shortest notice we can parade a well armed,
uniformed, drilled and disciplined force. For all of these
improvements the Guard is greatly indebted to the zeal and
untiring energy of our very efficient Quartermaster General,
Colonel Olds.
CONCLUSION.
Before closing this report, I must again express my thanks
t<> the officers of the staff.and line for their cordial co-opera-tion
and support. To your very courteous and obliging
Private Secretary I am under many obligations, for by his
promptness and efficiency my duties have been made much
more pleasant; and to you, our Commander-in-Chief, allow
me to express my sincere thanks for the wise counsel and
earnest support you have given me in the discharge of the
very important and responsible duties of this office.

18 ANNUAL REPORT.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL.
STATE. OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Inspector General's Department,
Raleigh, November 25th, 1889.
General Jas. D. Glenn,
Adjutant General of North Carolina :
Sir—I have the honor to submit herewith the official
report of this department for the year 1889, together with
copies of all special orders received.
Orders from General Headquarters, directing the Annual
Inspection of the State Guard, were issued March 6th, and
customary notice having been given to regimental and com-pany
commanders, the wTork of inspection began March
20th, with Company D, First Regiment, and concluded No-vember
13th, with the Scotland Neck Mounted Riflemen
(cavalry troop, unattached.)
At the beginning of the present year, the official Roster of
the State Guard showed a list of thirty (30) companies, who
were respectively lettered and signed as follows, viz.:
First Regiment, Companies A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Second Regiment, Companies A, B, C, D, E, F.
Third Regiment, Companies A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I.
Fourth Regiment, Companies A. B, C, D, E, F, K.
First Battalion Infantry (colored) Companies A, B.
One (1) Company of Cavalry (Scotland Neck Mounted
Riflemen), unattached.
In addition to the above, one (1) company of infantry,
the Cabarrus Black Boys (white), which had previously been
accepted, was equipped, commissioned, and assigned to the
Fourth Regiment as Company G.
At the annual inspections, all of the companies mentioned
were found to come within the requirements established by
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 19
law and regulations, with the exception of Companies C,
Third Regiment, and A, First Battalion, whose condition
was found to be such as to necessitate unfavorable reports
and recommendations.
It is not deemed necessary to particularize an}r of the
inspections above referred to, as the reports concerning them
were full and explicit, and are now matters of official record.
The companies, when paraded for inspection, mustered as

These figures are, of course, taken from the returns shown
at time of inspection, and may vary slightly from the actual
present effective force, accordingly as the respective regi-ments
have lost or gained by discharges and recruits.
As will be seen, the average percentage of the companies
at inspection was about 83 per cent., as against 90 per cent,
for the year 1888. The falling off in this respect, however,
is offset by the steady numerical increase in the force, for
whereas the companies last year only averaged about 44
men, they now average nearly 45J. This is very gratifying,
as evincing plainly the zeal and interest shown by regi-mental
and company officers in recruiting for their com-mands.
(The minimum number of officers and men allowed
by law, to the company, being 32; the maximum 96).
Regimental, field and staff officers were present at the
inspection of companies under their command, during the
present year, as follows :
First Regiment—Field and Staff present at inspection, 3 companies.
Second "
22 ANNUAL REPORT.
This falling off from the record of last year shows very
conclusively how lightly officers regard the duties imposed
upon them by paragraphs 200, 201 and 210 of Regulations.
The regulations of the service also require that each Regi-mental
Commander shall visit and inspect the several com-panies
under his command at least once during each year,
and, in order to defray the travelling expenses incidental to
the discharge of this duty, an annual appropriation is made
them. This duty, however, had not been performed up to
the time that the annual inspection of the troops by the
officers of this department was concluded.
The condition of the troops generally is very good. They
are sufficiently well drilled for all practical purposes, and,
with a few exceptions, their arms and accoutrements are in
good serviceable condition.
With the exception of a few companies who still wear a
" corps dress " of their own selection, the entire guard is now
equipped with the State Regulation Uniform, and all should
be required to assume it before another year has passed.
While on the subject of dress, I desire to call your special
attention to the miserable quality of the clothing which, in
a number of instances, I found had been issued to the troops.
Not only did the color of the cloth vary greatly (oftentimes
in the uniforms of the same company), but the material was.
frequently of the poorest quality, badly fitted, and so
wretchedly made up as to be practically unserviceable. This
imposition on both the State and troops themselves, should
not be tolerated, especially as there is no necessity for it.
I also found the equipments of some of the companies
incomplete in regard to serviceable arms, camp and field
equipments, &c, but as all of these matters were subjects of
special report at time of inspection, I deem mere reference
to them here all that is necessary.
The companies are drilled, on an average, at least once
every week, are regularly inspected and reported upon every
month, are well supplied with ammunition, and the regular
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 2o
army Springfield rifle, calibre 45, and, owing to their uni-versal
proximity to railway and telegraph lines, can be easily
massed at any point in the State, fully armed, equipped and
ready for service on very few hours notice.
It having been again decided to hold the annual encamp-ment
of the State Guard at Wrightsville Sound, near Wil-mington,
the use of the grounds occupied by the troops last
year having been again tendered to the State by the liberal
and public-spirited owners, the 9th of July was fixed by the
Commander-in-Chief as the date of the commencement of
the encampment, the Quartermaster General, Colonel F. A.
Olds, being charged with the duty of laying off and pre-paring
the camp for occupation by the troops, who were
ordered to report not later than the evening of the 9th.
On the 7th of July, in obedience to instructions contained
in Special Order No. 5,1 proceeded to "Camp Latimer"
(named in honor of the generous donors of the* ground, Mrs.
Fannie Latimer and Edward Latimer, Esq.), and having
carefully inspected the camp, made special report thereon,
as required by the terms of order referred to. On the after-noon
of the 9th, the officers of the General and Brigade Staff,
together with the men and officers of the First, Second,
Third and Fourth Regiments, together with the Scotland
Neck Mounted Riflemen, arrived and immediately went into
camp, with the exception of Company E, 2d Regiment
(which, for some cause, was detained and did not arrive
until the morning of the 15th). That the long and fatiguing
journey made by a majority of the troops was accomplished
safely and on time, without delay or accident, speaks well
for the careful supervision exercised by the officers in com-mand
and the officials of the transporting lines.
On the morning of the 10th, the camp was formally opened
with military ceremonies by Brigadier General W. H.
Anthony commanding, and the regular work of the encamp-ment
commenced. The cavalry troop, being dismounted,
were temporarily assigned to duty with the Second Regiment.

On the 12th, his Excellency the Governor arrived, being
met and escorted from the depot by a special guard, com-posed
of picked companies, under command of a field officer,
and received at camp by the whole brigade under arms.
On the loth the camp was formally inspected by his Excel-lency,
who expressed himself as being much pleased with
its appearance and condition. The Governor remained in
camp until its close, roughing it with his officers and men,
and evincing a lively inteiest in all that was going on.
On the 17th the troops were reviewed by the Commander-in-
Chief, accompanied by his staff, the officers of the general
staff, and Colonel Richard I. Dodge, U. S. A. The brigade,
under command of General Anthony, looked and marched
well. The "march past" was well executed indeed, the
men steady, distances well preserved, and alignments good,
the only errors noticed being the failure on the part of several
company officers to salute properly, and the omission on part
of commanding officer to close the review by {(resenting
arms after wheeling into line. The review was followed by
a brigade dress parade, which, considering that it was the
first time that the troops had ever been called upon to exe-cute
that ceremony, was very creditably performed.
On the 19th the encampment closed, and the troops were
forwarded to their homes with the same safety and dispatch
with which they had been brought into camp. The schedule
of routes, hours, changes, &c, in fact, all matters pertaining
to the transportation of troops to and from the encampment,
was prepared under the direction of Adjutant General Jas.
D. Glenn, and that officer is entitled to much credit for the
successful manner in which that duty was performed.
Under the direction of the Honorable Secretary of War,
the camp was visited and inspected by Colonel Richard I.
Dodge, Commanding 11th Infantry, U. S. A., a distinguished
officer of long experience, whose official report has already
been published, and which, though unflattering to our mili-tary
pride, is substantially correct in its general details.
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 25
Owing to quite a painful accident received just before
going into camp, I was prevented from giving that personal
attention to many matters that I desired, and, for several
days after the opening of the encampment, I was seriously
embarrassed by the absence of my staff, who were unavoida-bly
detained elsewhere. The duties pertaining to this
department, however, were as faithfully performed as cir-cumstances
would permit. The camp and hospital were
regularly inspected every day, as were also the guard-mounts
of the respective regiments, their drills, dress parades, &c.
Within the guard lines the camp was kept fairly well policed,
though not as much so as it might ha\e been had regular
guards been established during the day outside of the lines,
but in immediate proximity to quarters the grounds were in
a miserably dirty, offensive condition
The gunrd-mounts in all of the regiments showed consid-erable
improvement over those of last year, those of the first
and second regiments being particularly good. The errors
in nearly all of them being, as a rule, committed by the
company officers, who had failed to properly inform them-selves,
and by the non-commissioned officers in charge of
the " details," who were too careless as to the dress and
appearance of their men, or their promptness in marching
on. With the ceremony of guard-mounting, however, guard
duty (except in the case of the fourth regiment), practically
ended for the day. This, in my opinion, was a mistake,
which should be avoided in future, as not only is the oppor-tunity
for teaching troops their most important duties as
soldiers thereby neglected, but to say that the troops of
this State are unable or unwilling to perform the necessary
duties of camp life, which are regularly and cheerfully per-formed
by the troops of the regular arm}-, and of other
States, under similar circumstances, would be a reflection
on their soldierly qualities and manhood, utterly repudiated
by their past record, and which, I believe, they would them-selves
be the first to disclaim.
26 ANNUAL REPORT.
Owing to the frequent rains the battalion drills were
greatly interfered with, still a good deal of valuable work
was done, and the improvement in some of the commands
was very noticeable, particularly so in the first and fourth
regiments. The dress parades of all the regiments were very
good, the principal errors noticed being that, in all of them,
there were officers who would persistently execute the manual
of anus instead of confining themselves simply to " render-ing
honors," as prescribed by tactics. On several occasions,
also, officers appeared on parade uniformed differently from
their men, which, of course, gave a very unmilitary appear-ance
to the whole line
While some benefit was undoubtedly realized, yet the
fact remains that all was not done whici might have been
accomplished, and while it should be borne in mind, with
due allowance, that the commanding officer was exercising
the duties of his position for the first time, assisted by a i ew
and untried staff, yet, in simple justice to the State, as well
as to the troops themselves, it is but proper to indicate
wherein errors were probably made, in order that they may
be avoided in future. In the matter of guard duty, for
instance, the officers and men, practically speaking, received
no instiuction whatever worthy of the name, for, as by official
orders, the men were virtually absolved from anything like
military duty from the hour of guard-mounting in the
morning until late in the evening, no sentries were posted,
except by the Colonel of the Fourth Regiment, who kept his
men regularly on duty, both day and night, and by con-stant
drill and instruction evidently sought to increase the
efficiency of his command, as far as opportunity would per-mit.
In the other regiments sentries were not posted until
after dark.
A good deal of valuable time was also consumed in useless
ceremonies, which, while permissible on occasions of holiday
parade, are unnecessary and out of place in a camp of instruc-tion,
where every moment possible should be utilized in
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 27
perfecting both officers and men in a proper knowledge of
their duties as soldiers. The countersign was not issued
regularly, or in accordance with military custom or regula-tions,
while the mail facilities of the camp were poorly
arranged and badly executed.
The troops messed by companies, the officers and men
subsisting themselves—the State furnishing only quarters,
straw, fuel, lights, ice, and transportation to and from camp.
The steady land breeze, coupled with its attendant clouds
of sand-flies and musquitoes, and the frequent rams, neces-sarily
caused much discomfort, but I heard fewer complaints
than might have been expected under the circumstances.
Within the limits of the camp sobriety and general good
order prevailed, and, with the exception of one parade
(which should never have been allowed), by an unsoldierly
mob of "Mulligan Guards," the quiet and orderly behaviour
of the men was unexceptionable.
Owing to the lax discipline observed, certain irregularities
were indulged in by some of the troops after " taps," in close
proximity to the guard lines, which could have been easily
prevented had the field officers of the day and the officers
of the guard been thoroughly posted as to their duties and
the extent of their authority.
According to returns furnished by Brigade Headquarters,
the number of men in camp (officers, musicians and privates)
was as follows
:
1st Regiment. Col. Jno. W. Cptten, commanding
'-2d Regiment. Col. W. C. Jones, commanding....
3d Regiment. Col. W. T. Gray, commanding ....
4th Regiment, Col. I. T. Anthony, commanding

The camp hospital was large, airy and well arranged, and,
under the direction of Surgeon General Haywood, and the
careful personal supervision of Brigade Surgeon Carr and
his assistants, the hospital service was most satisfactorily
performed—the total number of men treated during the
whole encampment being lets than one per cent, of the entire
force present. And when it is remembered that the troops
consisted of young men taken from every walk in life,
brought from all parts of the State, and totally unaccus-tomed
to camp life, the healthfulness of the camp, and the
careful treatment and attention awarded them is plainly
attested.
The duties of the Quartermaster's Department, under the
direction of Colonel F A Olds, Q. M. G., and Major Devine,
Brigade Quartermaster, evidently received all the attention
that the means and opportunities at their command would
permit.
On Sunday, the 14th, religious services were held in camp
by the chaplains of the respective regiments, which were
well attended by the officers and men.
While there were no battalion skirmish drills during the
encampment, yet several companies from different regiments
showed very considerable proficiency in that highly impor-tant
branch of field tactics, notably Companies G of the first
and fourth regiments respectively. The latter elicited
special attention, from the fact that it was the youngest com-pany
in the Guard, having received its arms and accoutre-ments
only a few weeks before going into camp. Its pro-ficiency
reflected much credit upon its energetic commander.
There was no target practice, but the company and bat-talion
firings were very good.
The observance of military courtesies, while fairly carried
out, was by no means as strict and general as it should have
been. It is impossible, as well as unreasonable, however, to
expect perfection from a State Guard whose personel
undergoes such constant and frequent changes, each encamp-
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 29
ment finding the ranks filled with new recruits, who were
never in ramp before, and some of whom have not had three
weeks drilling.
One of the most soldierly and efficient bodies of men
noticed in camp, was the Scotland Neck Mounted Riflemen,
who, though dismounted and serving for the time as
infantry, were at all times distinguishable for their soldierly
bearing and conduct, and faithful, efficient performance of
duty.
In view of past experience, and with an earnest desire to
perfect as far as possible the practical efficiency of the State
Guard, I would respectfully offer the following suggestions,
viz.:
I renew my former recommendations relative to the
examination of officers before issuing commissions ; the
offer by the State of certain rewards for marksmanship ; the
highest percentage attendant at monthly drills and inspec-tions,
and for greatest number of skirmish drills during the
year ; also, a careful revision of the present Code of Regu-lations
; also, that the officers and men of the Guard be
credited with longevity service, and enjoy all the rights and
privileges pertaining to the same. And, furthermore, that
officers and men, when on military duty under orders from
the State, be allowed the same pay and allowances as are
granted to those of similar rank in the National Guard of
other States and in the United States army. Our present
laws governing this question are not only unjust, absurd and
farcical, but are in direct contradiction and opposition to
the spirit and letter of the statute laws of the country and
State, being not only prejudicial to discipline and good
order, but ridiculous and illegal. To make a State service
respected, it must be made respectable, and to require officers
and men to perform military duty for the benefit and service
of the State, under orders, which, as soldiers, they dare not
question or disobey, and then to deny them the small remu-neration
to which by law, custom, and even the requirements
30 ANNUAL REPORT.
of our own statutes, they are justly entitled, is not only
beneath the dignity of a great commonwealth like this, but
is degrading to those who serve it. That an imperative
necessity exists for maintaining in all the States well organ-ized
and equipped bodies of State troops, is plainly mani-fested
by the attention paid to the subject, supplemented by
liberal legislation in every State and Territory in the Union,
to say nothing of the interest shown by the general govern-ment,
as evidenced by national legislation and largely
increased governmental aid and support. Let North Caro-lina
no longer stand alone in this respect, but let her accord ,
to her State Guard that justice and consideration which are
shown to the troops of other States, and to which hers are
as justly entitled.
As examination has shown that among some of the more
recently organized companies of the Guard, no copies were
had of some of the older and most important General
Orders which have been issued from time to time, I would
suggest that the Board charged with Revision of the Regu-lations
be also required to select such General Orders as
have been issued in the past, and are liable to future refer-ence,
and have them published in pamphlet form and issued
by the Adjutant General to all the companies in the service.
It is also recommended that the organization of the
General Staff be completed by the selection and appoint-ment
by the Commander-in-Chief of an experienced officer
as Inspector of Rifle Practice, who shall have entire charge
of that important duty, and under whose personal super-vision
much of the idle time heretofore wasted in our annual
encampments, can be usefully employed in exercising the
troops in target practice, thereby not only imparting very
useful and necessary information, but keeping actively alive
the interest of the men in their military duties.
It is further recommended that the number of companies
in the Guard be restricted to thirty (30j, as that is evidently
the number contemplated by and under our existing law,
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 31
no appropriation being made for an excess of that number.
By the adoption of this rule we would not only be saved
the trouble and dissatisfaction which would naturally arise
and exist among the "outside" companies, but all of our
State and National appropriations could then be applied to
the complete organization, equipment and efficiency of our
regular force.
As regards future Camps of Instruction, it is recommended
that every other year, at least, the troops be camped by
regiments. This, I think, desirable for several reasons:
In the first place, it is almost impossible to select a date that
will suit the business or convenience of all the troops of the
Guard, scattered as widely as they are. and necessarily influ-enced
by different local interests, seasons, &c. Again, by
sending each regiment into camp by itself, under the imme-diate
command of its own officers, charged with the execu-tion
of a carefully prepared programme of duties, it could
be easily ascertained through the reports of the officers
detailed to visit and inspect the camp, where blame should
rest, provided blame or censure were found necessary. Regi-mental
commanders would enjoy entire and undisputed
control of their commands, and, if failure occurred, would
have no one to blame but themselves. Besides, this plan
would not only stimulate a spirit of generous rivalry among
the officers and men of the respective regiments, but would
also clearly demonstrate the discipline and efficiency of each.
These regimental encampments should last at least one week
each, to be held (under the orders of the Commander-in-
Chief), at such a time as each Colonel shall select and report,
and should be visited, inspected and otherwise conducted
just as the consolidated camps have been heretofore. On
alternate years, if deemed necessary, the troops could be
brought together in brigade encampment for such drill and
instruction as might be considered desirable under that
formation.
During the annual encampments of the future, it is also
32 ANNUAL KEPORT.
recommended that, in addition to the regular drills, &c, the
troops be exercised in target practice and signalling, in
pitching and striking camp, and that guard duty be per-formed
both day and night. Also, that on one day during
the encampment, each battalion shall be reviewed and
inspected. As a corps, the Guard know nothing whatever
of regimental or brigade inspection. Twice during the
present >ear, it is true, a few companies received instruction:
on one occasion. Companies G and I, Third Regiment, under
command of Major Ellington, and later, Companies D and
E and Regimental band, Fourth Regiment, under command
of Colonel Anthony, and altlx ugh it was, in both instances,
a first experience with both officers and men, the execution
was very handsome and creditable.
Attention is also called to the condition of some of the
companies, as plainly shown in the official reports of their
inspection, and piompt action urged regarding them. I
refer particularly to Companies B and D, Second Regiment;
B and I, Third Regiment, and Company B, Fourth Regi-ment,
whose proper equipment should be completed without
further delay.
The attention of the Adjutant General's department is
also specially called to Section VI, General Orders No. o
(series of 1888\ as its < bservance furnishes the only source
of information possessed by the Guard, and the neglect of
which has caused considerable trouble and inconvenience
during the present year.
It is also recommended that all duties pertaining to the
transportation, subsistence and payment of troops be rele-gated
to the heads of those respective departments, who
would certainly be charged with the same in times of active
service, and whore they properly belong.
It is also respectfully suggested, that except in cases of
utmost need or emergency, no staff officer be ordered to take
personal command of troops, no matter how competent he
may be, or how creditably and successfully he may perform
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 33
the duty assigned him; his actions and motives are almost
invariably subjected to harsh and unkind criticism. The
officers of the general staff, especially, should be exempt
from any such duty. Exercising, as they do, a general
supervision over the whole service, and being as they are in
their respective departments, the true and proper sources of
information to the Commander-in-Chief, from whom alone
they receive their instructions, and to whom alone the}T are
responsible for their acts, they should not, except in case of
necessity, be placed in positions outside of their regular line
of duty, and where their authority and actions are liable to
question and misconstruction. From the very nature and
obligation of their position, they can know no friends or
enemies in the faithful discharge of duty, but with an eye
single to the #ood of the service alone, deal boldly, fairly and
impartially with all.
The suggestions and recommendations embodied in the
above report are made in accordance with instructions con-tained
in paragraphs 715, 727, 728 of Regulations, and are
respectfully submitted for consideration.
In conclusion, I desire to testify my warm appreciation of
the always soldierly and admirable conduct of Captains
Arthur L. Smith and Benehan Cameron, A. I. G., whose
prompt readiness at all times to discharge any duty assigned
them, has only been equalled by the efficient and satisfactory
mann of its performance.
Yours very respectfully,
F. H. CAMERON,
Inspector General.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE QUARTERMASTER
GENERAL AND CHIEF OF ORDNANCE.
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
Quartermaster General's Department,
Raleigh, N C, December 1st, 1SS9.
Brigadier General James D. Glenn,
Adjutant General State of Nortli Carolina:
Sir—I have the honor to submit a report of the operations
of this department for the year ending November 30th, 1889.
The duties of the office cover also, by special assignment,
those of the Ordnance Department, and, in fact, the entire
supply of all stores to the Guard.
quartermaster's department.
The issue of overcoats for enlisted men and of cloth for
officer's overcoats, which was begun last year, was carried on
until all the Guard save five companies has been provided
with these necessary, serviceable and handsome garments.
The detailed statement (D) will show the issues. There are
now in store twenty-five overcoats.
The issues of clothing were extensive. A beginning was
made in this last year, when four companies were clothed,
all in full dress. This year sixteen companies were clothed
;
fifteen in full dress and one in fatigue dress. Statement (D)
also shows how these issues were made.
It was learned from contractors who made up the clothing
for the companies -that the size of the men in the Guard was
above the average in the regular army, and, hence, there was
an increase in the allowance of cloth for uniform dress coats
for enlisted men, from If to If yards. The materials for
the uniforms were all drawn from the Government and the
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 35
companies were notified that thpy had full power to make
arrangements with contractors for the manufacture of the
clothing. Statement (C) shows the quantity of materials as
drawn from the U. S. Quartermaster's Department, while,
for convenience, Statement (D) shows the issue as of complete
uniforms, from which it will be seen that fifty-three officers
and seven hundred and three enlisted men were clothed
during the year and that uniforms for fourteen enlisted men
are in store.
SALES OF MATERIALS TO OFFICERS.
The following circular, of much importance to officers, was
issued early in the year
:
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
Quartermaster General's Department,
Raleigh, N. O, May 29th, 1889.
[Circular No. 6.]
Several officers of the State Guard having made inquiries of this
Department as to whether they could purchase from the United States
Quartermaster's Department, at cost prices, articles of clothing, cloth,
etc. , the matter was referred to the Honorable the Secretary of War,
with a request for a ruling. The following has been received, and is
published for the benefit of officers :
" You are respectfully informed that there is no objection to the sale
of material to the officers of the militia, at cost prices, in the same man-ner
as similar sales are made to the officers of the army. Application
should be made by the officer desiring the material to the Depot Quarter-master
at Philadelphia, Pa., and should be accompanied by the amount
necessary to pay for the same, whereupon the property will be forwarded
to the address of the officer making the request. In order that individ-uals
not entitled to this privilege may not take undue advantage of it,
each application should be certified by the Quartermaster General of the
State, showing that the applicant is an officer of the regular organized
force of the militia of the State."
FRED. A. OLDS.
Colonel and Quartermaster General.
36 ANNUAL REPORT.
SOMK SPECIAL SUGGESTIONS.
The cost of making up a full-dress uniform for an enlisted
man is about $6.25. I have the honor of making the sug-gestion
that after the few remaining companies shall have
been clothed the issue of uniforms made up shall replace the
present system. The coats and trousers are made in six sizes,
and by care in measurement very good fits can be secured;
alterations when made costing but little. The result of this
change will be that the uniforms will cost the companies
nothing as far as the enlisted men are concerned, while offi-cers,
who will be then, as now, furnished with the materials,
will only have to pay for the make up. The charge against
the State will of course be somewhat greater for the made-up
clothing than for its component parts, but the superior satis-faction
of the men at so great a saving, as far as they are
concerned, will prove more than a counterbalance.
plans for 1890.
This department having clothed four companies in 1888
and sixteen in 1889, will be prepared to clothe the remain-ing
companies during the fiscal year now begun, with the
full-dress regulation uniform ; also to issue material for
blouses to all officers, and blouses, made-up, to all enlisted
men. Blankets, of the best quality, can also be issued to all
the enlisted men. The issue of materials for dress uniforms
to field and staff officers, heretofore necessarily delayed, can
be made, and overcoats can be issued to the few companies
yet unsupplied.
These issues will put the Guard, by the autumn of 1890,
in perfect shape for all service, each man having full dress
and fatigue dress, overcoat and blanket, and being, as the
Ordnance returns show, fully equipped for the field. Hel-mets
and forage caps, with the proper chevrons, are issued
with the uniforms in all cases.
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 37
NATIONAL COLORS
Were obtained during the year from the U. S. Quarter-master's
Department, and were presented by his Excellency
the Commander-in-Chief at the centennial celebration at
Fayetteville. New State colors will soon have to be pro-cured
for issue to replace those issued in 1885, now badly
worn. Bunting State tings for the brigade and for the vari-ous
regiments were secured during the year, by purchase,
for use at camp. A guidon for the cavalry troop was
obtained from the Government and was presented at the
same time and place as the National colors above referred to.
TENTS AND CAMP EQUIPAGE.
The supply of tentage has been largely increased during
the year by issues by the Government. Ten wall tents and
seventy-live improved common tents were obtained, and
there are now in store in the arsenal one hospital tent, fifty-three
wall and three hundred and twenty-five common tents,
with the proper poles and pins, giving shelter for 2,000
men.
This department now has the full use and control of the
arsenal and the result is very gratifying. There is ample
room and abundance of light and air. The tents are care-fully
stored, and the property, both Ordnance and Quarter-master's,
is safe and readily accessible. The arsenal is greatly
in need of exterior painting and also requires some interior
repairs.
THE ENCAMPMENT.
By direction of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief,
in special orders, I went to Wrightsville, June 25th, to pre-pare
the camp. The tents, etc., were shipped over the Sea-

board line, that company renewing its courtesies and giving
free transportation, as it also did in 1888.
Contracts had been made by me for all things needed at
the camp. The people of Wilmington had, the previous
year, furnished many things; but this year the State had to
meet the entire expense. The result of the care taken by
me to protect the State's interest is shown in one transaction,
as an example. In 1888 the people of Wilmington furnished
31 kitchens, 294 tent floors and one bath-house, for which
they paid as rental $565, all the property reverting to the
contractors. The past year I made a contract writh Parsley
& Wiggins to furnish 38 kitchens, 380 tent floors and one
bath-house, as well as shelters for four sinks, each 60 feet
long, for $682.50, the property all to belong to the State.
The contract was faithfully carried out, and the State now
has all this material ready for future use.
THE MATTER OF COOKING,
though properly coming under the Commissary Department,
was given attention by me, as it appeared probable that it
might necessitate a change of some plans. Accordingly the
following had been issued to each regimental and company
commander:
GENERAL HEADQUARTERS.
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
Quartermaster General's Department,
Raleigh, April 8th, 1889.
[Circular No. 5.]
Sir— At the encampment at Camp Pender, in 1888, kitchens were pro-vided
for each company and also for the field and staff of each regiment.
A proposition is now madp by responsible parties at Wilmington to
furnish meals to the entire brigade at the coming encampment on a
widely different plan. The proposition, in brief, is to furnish the Guard
with well-cooked meals at a rate per day of forty cents for each enlisted
man, company officers at forty-five cents per day, and field and staff
officers ac fifty cents per day. This will include everything in the way
ADJUTANT GENERAL. 39
of food. Every man will be expected to carry his knife, fork, spoon,
tin-plate and tin-cup. All the crockery and other ware will be provided
by the contractors.
It is proposed further by the contractors to build four ranges (one for
each regiment) and four large pavilions to be used as mess halls, one to
each regiment, the latter with seating capacity for the entire force.
You are respectfully asked to consider this matter and reply at the
earliest possible moment whether the plan above stated has your
approval. In case it is approved by the regimental and company com-manders,
it will be regarded as satisfactory, and the necessary agree-ment
with the contractors will be drawn up. It is, of course, very
desirable to secure the information as soon as possible.
It is believed that the plan will insure greater cleanliness and prompt-ness
in serving meals, and that in the end it will prove more economical
to the troops. It will also insure meals for all the troops immediately
upon their arrival at camp, and thus remedy what was an almost
unavoidable hardship at the la^t encampment.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
FRED. A. OLDS,
Colonel and Quartermaster General.
Not quite half the responses received were favorable.
Some companies never replied at all. All the Colonels
favored the plan. The result was that the kitchens for each
company and band, and also for the regimental and brigade
headquarters, were prepared on the same plan as in 1888.
Never was a camp pitched under more discouraging con-ditions.
Day after day the rain fell and sometimes not a
minute's work could be done. But when the appointed time
came the camp was ready for inspection by the Inspector
General. The sinks, which in 1888 were not satisfactory,,
were this year admirable; in fact, by far the best I have
ever seen or had knowledge of.
My duties during the encampment were exacting Many
stores were issued and there was almost unremitting work.
At the conclusion of the encampment all the public property
was carefully packed for shipment to the arsenal or for
storage at the camp. There was a loss of only four large
and twelve small tent pins. The tents were all shipped to
the arsenal.
40 ANNUAL REPORT.
It is both proper and pleasant, in speaking of the camp,
to acknowledge the many courtesies of Mrs. Fannie Latimer
and Mr. Edward Latimer, the owners of the beautiful
grounds. In every way they extended me, personally and
officially, courtesies I shall never forget, and at the conclu-sion
of the encampment permitted the storage of property
on the grounds, while they also permit the use of the grounds
next year, in case a permanent site is not by that time ready
for occupancy. The courtesies shown by Colonel J. W.
Atkinson are also specially acknowledged.
The following supplies are in store at Camp Latimer, in
good condition and ready for use: Six axes, one water-cooler,
three boxes candles, seven rakes, three shovels, sixty-one
water- buckets, six wooden chairs twenty-eight cots, two
pitchers, two bowls, twelve tumblers, four storm lanterns,
twelve lamps, eleven camp-stools, four hundred tin candle-sticks,
four hundred tin basins, twenty-four tin dippers, two
barrels lime, eighteen water-barrels, nine pumps complete,
three water-kegs, eight hundred pounds rye straw for bed-ding,
fifty-one camp torches, three hundred and eighty tent
floors, thirty -eight kitchens, four sheds at sinks, one lath-house
30x40 feet. There are also in store for hospital use a
quantity of medicine bottles, one box of drugs, of which the
Surgeon General has an invoice, and one box containing
seven pints of whisky; eight pints having been purchased
for use at the hospital and only one pint having been used.
The expenditures for the encampment were as follows:
Transportation of troops $3,917.56 ; preparation and clean-ing
of camp-grounds, freight on stores, rent of stoves, tent
floors, kitchens, bath- house and sink sheds, fuel, straw for
bedding, ice, pumps, removal of refuse, hauling of tents and
baggage, labor in pitching and striking camp and packing
tents, hospital service and medicines, lights, hire of horses
for officers' use, etc., $2,025.23; making a total of $5,5> 12.7��.».

ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT.
During the year there were received from the United
States Ordnance Department three hundred and ninety-six
knapsacks (or blanket-bags, as they are now known), one
hundred and eighty canteens and three hundred and ninety-six
haversacks. These were issued and put eight companies
of the Guard,' which were the only ones in need, in march-ing
order. The arms and equipments held by military
schools at Graham Normal College and at Rutherford Col-lege
were called in. Ball cartridges were issued to the
entire Guard in January, and blank cartridges at camp in
July. The military school at Fremont was equipped during
the year, as was also Company G, the new company of the
Fourth Regiment, at Concord. The arms of Company K,
Fourth Regiment, Dallas, were called in and others issued
in their stead. Any deficiencies in equipments were made
up, and four companies so largely increased their strength as
to require an issue of additional arms and equipments. The
new plan of clothing the companies is resulting in an
increase of members in every case.
The Guard is well supplied with ball ammunition and
there is a reserve in the arsenal. There are also rifles and
equipments for issue to one company.
No company was disbanded during the year ; it being the
first in which such an event has not occurred.
Statements " A " and " B," herewith, show the details of
issues and receipts in the Ordnance Department, while State-ments
"C" and "D" show those in the Quartermaster's
Department.
The labor of this department, with its dual duties, grows
heavier year by year, and several hours of rapid work are
required each day in order to keep up with the pressure of
the work. The system of accouuts with the Government
and the careful calculations and the reports made necessary
to the Chief of Ordnance, the Quartermaster General and
42 ANNUAL REPORT.
the Honorable the Secretary of War, place upon me all the
duties devolving upon a Quartermaster in the regular ser-vice,
while the accounts, vouchers, etc., for the State must
receive equal care.
All the stores in the arsenal have been overhauled, some
dropped for lack of serviceability and others taken up by
repairs, as appear by the returns herewith.
I have the honor to be, General,
Your obedient servant,
FRED. A. OLDS,
Colonel and (Quartermaster General.

ADJUTANT GENERAL. 49
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SURGEON GENERAL.
Raleigh, December 1st, 1889.
General James D. Glenn,
Adjutant General of North Carolina :
Sir—I have the honor to submit herewith the report of
this department for the year 1889.
In compliance with General Orders, No. 3, there was an
encampment of the First Brigade, North Carolina State
Guard, at Camp Latimer, Wrightsville, N. C, commencing
Tuesday evening, July 9th, 1889, and closing on Thursday,
July 18th, 1889.
In obedience to Section 750, Regulations of the North
Carolina State Guard, I reached Camp Latimer Tuesday,
July 9th, 1889 ; remained till the close of the encampment
Thursday, July 18th, 1889, and made daily inspections in
regard to its sanitary condition, care of the sick and hos-pital,
etc.
The sanitary condition of the company areas and streets
was generally very good, but there was a piece of ground
in the centre of the camp, surrounded by the four regiments,
a kind of open court, what might be called " no man's land,"
which was a general dumping ground for refuse, and was
frequently in very bad condition from a sanitary point of
view. It was very difficult to keep it cleaned up, but by
directing frequent attention to it, it was much more thor-oughly
policed towards the latter part of the encampment,
and its sanitary condition thereby very much improved.
There were four sinks—one for each regiment, each fifty
feet long—placed in the opposite direction from the prevail-ing
winds. They were partially screened from observation,
had a shed-roof over them and a horizontal piece of timber
supported at a proper height for the convenience of the men
along one side of them. They were not very efficiently
4
50 ANNUAL REPORT.
policed, and consequently were generally in a bad condition.
They did not meet with my approbation in any way, and
were not constructed nor policed according to my ideas, as
expressed in the following letter to the Quartermaster Gene-ral,
written in response to a request from him
:
Raleigh, June 16th, 1889.
Colonel F. A. Olds,
Q. M. G. N. C. S. G., Raleigh, N. C.
:
Sir—In compliance with your request, please find below my ideas as
to the best temporary sinks that can be constructed at Camp Latimer
—
finances and other matters taken into consideration.
They should be placed at least one hundred yards from the tents, and
in such a position that the prevailing winds will not carry odors from
them over the company areas. When possible, small sinks for each
company are better than three or four of large size for each regiment.
When this is impossible, there should be allowed three sinks of the fol-lowing
dimensions for every two hundred men : They should be each
ten feet long, eight feet deep and two feet wide, with the excavated
earth piled on one side, whence a part of it can readily be thrown by the
police over the daily accumulations. The sink should then be boxed,
except on the back (where the excavated earth is piled up), which should
remain open, so that the earth can be thrown in. The box seats should
be at a convenient height and should have oval holes cut in them at con-venient
distances. A layer of earth and lime, three to four inches deep,
should be thrown in every evening over the daily accumulations, so as
to prevent any smell arising from the day's deposit. When a sink is
filled within two feet of the surface it should be replaced by a new one,
those disused being filled up with lime and earth and banked over to
mark their site. They should be surrounded by a thick-set hedge of
brushwood, through which admission is given by an oblique or valvular
entrance, which acts as a screen to protect the spot from observation.
A shed should be erected over each sink to protect the men from the
sun and inclement weather.
Very l'espectfully,
HUBERT HAYWOOD, M. D.,
Surgeon General N. C. S. G.
The woods surrounding the sinks and the territory sur-rounding
the camp, especially the water-front, were very
much polluted by the troops, especially at night. The odors
from these sources were very offensive, and would undoubt-

edly have bred pestilence had the encampment lasted any
length of time. The attention of the commanding officer
was called to this matter and request made for the establish-ment
of guards to prevent it, but it was not done, with the
result mentioned.
The sick were well cared for in a large, airy building,
which was used as a hospital and well supplied with all
necessary medicines, comfortable cots, etc. Two men were
hired and detailed for the menial hospital duties. The
hospital was placed under the immediate supervision of the
Brigade Surgeon, Dr. A. G. Carr, to whom I must express
my thanks for his constant, cheerful and successful attention
to the sick. He was aided most efficiently in the discharge
of his duties, by the different regimental surgeons and hos-pital
steward^, who also have my thanks. The hospital was
well kept and cleanly. The health of the troops was excel-lent.
There was not a single death—scarcely a single case
of serious sickness. The following is the Hospital Report,
which will show the general character of all the sickness
during the encampment:

54 ANNUAL REPORT.
Knowing the tendency the men have to run to the hos-pital
drug-store and ask for a drink of whisk}' for every
slight ailment, I was determined to prevent it, and, with
that object in view, had the Brigade Surgeon hand in a daily
whisky report, requesting him to give no whisky to anyone
except upon a written prescription, which stated for whom
prescribed, for what prescribed, by whom prescribed and
quantity prescribed. This acted as a most decided check to
the whisky business, for, although the whole State Guard
were in camp nine days, there was but one quart of whisky
dispensed from the hospital stores.
I also enclose herewith the final report of the Brigade
Surgeon. Respectfully submitted,
HUBERT HAYWOOD, M. D.,
Surgeon General.
