Sir: — I herein submit a report of the operations of the Adju-tant General's Department and of the matters pertaining to the National Guard of the State, for the period January 1st, 1933 to December 31, 1934, or two years. THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT The Department has carried on its activities on a very much reduced budget, as has no doubt, other departments, yet an analy-sis of the situation is rather interesting. The appropriation made to maintain our National Guard for each year of the biennium 1929-1931 was $157,300: for the period, 1931-1933, each year $117,000. For these latter years the Director of the Budget ordered a 30 % reduction which gave this department an allotment of $81,900 per each year instead of the total of $117,000. For the next two years, 1933-1935 the appropriation was $60,350.00 for each year. It may be readily realized that many activities were necessarily curtailed. A small annual allotment to those officers of the Guard, having administrative functions, involving expense, has been eliminated, yet it seems not fair that these officers giving time and thought to the maintenance of an efficient organi-zation, should be saddled with these expenses. In the mainte-nance of an efficient military organization, it is essential that commanding officers of Regiments and Battalions, keep in touch with their respective units through correspondence, reports and visitation from time to time. Travel was reduced to a minimum. The National Guard is willing and desirious to do its part in operating on a reduced budget but at the same time a reduction in 4 Report of The Adjutant General annual appropriations from $157,300 (1929-1931) to $60,350 (1933-1935) is considered extreme to an extent that many of our approximate 60 units, located in various Counties, have carried on their functions under trying circumstances. Certain require-ments of the Federal Government must be met in order to partici-pate in Federal funds and it is incumbent upon the State to pro-vide adequate funds for armories and other necessary expenses. The State is not paying officers or men and this department and the National Guard are operating on a greatly reduced basis from every standpoint. In 1923, the General Assembly provided for the payment of 50c per drill for each enlisted man so attending the drills at their home station, not to exceed 60 drills per year, in so far as funds were available. This to be paid under the same regulation as made by the War Department, for the payment of Federal armory drill pay. This item of the budget has now been eliminated. The service of these young men of the Guard is purely voluntary upon enlistment, yet they become subject to orders of the Governor for duty- within the State whenever called upon and are generally subject to military laws and regulations. The small amount paid by the Federal Government is a mere pittance for the service rendered and it is much regretted that the State pay stops. It is most important that the Adjutant General or his repre-sentative, visit the units of the Guard now and then, in order to check the training, discipline and administration of the affairs of the organization in order to maintain an "Esprit de corps" and efficiency. Such travels have in the past two years, been much curtailed. Likewise the travel of Commanding Officers. Though there has been an approximate 40% reduction in sal-aries of employees, this office having voluntarily eliminated one employee in order to assist in the conservation of funds, a very efficient force has been maintained. For two weeks or more, during the textile strike in September 1934, these employees worked nights, Saturday afternoon and Sundays, and since have made strenuous efforts to catch up with routine matters, which due to the extra call upon them, were much behind. The placing of troops in the several strike areas, and their operations were handled directly from this office as the General Headquarters, placing the direct responsibility, in organized areas of the State, upon officers commanding the area. Every effort was made to hold expenses to a minimum. Though the General Strike was called for Monday, September 3rd, it was not until the 6th, when due to lawless conditions and Report of The Adjutant General 5 intimidation and force keeping those desiring to work from fol-lowing their desire, that, the Governor called the Adjutant Gen-eral in for conference and directed him to take charge of the situation and place troops in such places and at such times as deemed proper and necessary. The Adjutant General was in close and constant touch with the Governor and also with the situation throughout the State. Being closely confined due to the direction, from the office, of troop movements and operations in all areas, the Adjutant General was not in position to visit the areas in person. Colonel Don E. Scott, Commanding the 120th Infantry was placed under orders to represent the Adjutant General in visiting all areas, reporting upon the situation, from time to time to these Headquarters and to assist the Commanding Officers. Colonel Scott's service in this direction proved most valuable and his duties were performed most efficiently. Towards the end of the strike and as conditions warranted, the return of organizations to their home station was begun, saving additional expense and that the young men might return to their civil pursuits as promptly as possible. NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD Other than the call to duty as mentioned above, no troops have been ordered on Special Duty during the years 1933-1934. For a more detailed report on the duty of troops in September 1934, see the Adjutant General's report of strike duty in Sept. 1934. The strength of the Guard of the State is at present 260 officers and 3121 enlisted men, a total of 3381. The efficiency of this organization is evidenced in the thorough discipline and evidence of training, as displayed by officers and men on duty in the strike areas when under the mental and physical strain of the moment, in the presence of mobs of great numbers, all kept their head and performed the duty as directed. SERVICE SCHOOLS—REGULAR ARMY Under authority of the War Department, each year a limited number of officers and men of the National Guard are authorized to attend one of the Army Service Schools and North Carolina sent to these schools, the following: 1933—Maj. James C. Cooper, 120th Inf.—Fort Benning, Ga. Capt. Thomas S. Kittrell, Co. C, 120th Inf.—Ft. Benning, Ga. 1st. Lt. James W. Tallent, Trp K, 109th Cav.—Ft. Riley, Kas. Cpl. John D. Hancock, Hqrs. Co., 3rd Bn., 120th Inf. Ft. Benning Ga. 6 Report of The Adjutant General 1934—1st. Lt. Nathaniel McN. Smith, Btry F, 252nd C. A.—Ft. • Monroe, Va. 2nd. Lt. James M. Hall, Co. I, 120th Inf.—Edgewood Arsenal, Md. U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY As provided in the National Defense Act and by authority of the War Department a preliminary examination of candidates from the National Guard is held at the Office of the Adjutant General in November to select two men for the Governor's recom-mendation to enter a competitive examination held the following March, with those recommended from the Guard of the several States. In 1933 Sgt. Nicholas H. Chavass, Service Co., 105th Med. Regt., Henderson, N. C. was so recommended by the Gover-nor and in 1934, Pvt. Edward R. Holt, Jr., Hqrs. & Service Co., 105th Engrs., Charlotte, N. C. and Pvt. Edward T. McConnell, Howitzer Co., 120th Inf., Gastonia, N. C. won this recommen-dation. This provision of Federal law provides an excellent op-portunity for bright young men to secure an excellent education and service to his country in the Regular Army or a good start in civil life. UNITED STATES PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER The National Defense Act and regulations of the War Depart-ment provide that Federal funds expended within a State for pay of mechanics and caretakers pay of troops for service in camps of Instruction, transportation and subsistance pertaining to such camps and sundry other items, will be handled through an officer of the Guard, appointed by the Governor with the approval of the War Department as the United States Property and Dis-bursing Officer. This officer is accountable for Federal property issued the Guard and with the keeping of records of same. Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Smith, also the Assistant Adjutant General, has held the position of U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer for several years. Possessing that technical ability for details his services in this work as evidenced in the efficient man-ner and accuracy with which his records are kept, have been most satisfactory. INSTRUCTORS We have been fortunate in that the Regular Army officers de-tailed to this State and the Sergeant Instructors have been authorized by the War Department to continue their detail for five or more years. They have known and appreciated the many Report of The Adjutant General 7 difficulties under which the Guard has been maintained and their service in assisting in the instruction of troops, based upon an ability gained through long service in the Regular Army, has al-ways been of the greatest value. We lost the Senior Instructor, Colonel Howard G. Davids, Infantry, in September 1934, after seven years of most efficient and valuable service to the Guard. He was admired and respected by all. The vacancy was filled through the detail to this duty, of Colonel Adolphe Huguet, In-fantry, whom the Adjutant General has known for years and whose record in the Army, disposition and interest in the National Guard, bespeaks for him a most successful tour of duty to the benefit of the several organizations of our Guard. For detailed statement of Audit of State funds allotted this Department, see Exhibit A attached. J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General. 8 Report of The Adjutant General REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 1935—DECEMBER 31, 1935 To: His Excellency, The Governor of North Carolina and Com-mander- in-Chief North Carolina National Guard, Raleigh, North Carolina. Sir:—It is my pleasure to submit a report on the operations of the Adjutant General's Department and the activities' of the National Guard for the year 1935. ORGANIZATION AND STRENGTH The Guard being organized along the same lines as the Regular Army, the War Department allots to each state, and authorizes the organization of the specific units to be organized. There are 58 units and a maximum strength in personnel of 275 officers ; 5 Warrant officers (band leaders) and 3220 enlisted men ; total 3500. Branches of service represented are Engineers, Field Artillery, Coast Artillery, Cavalry, Infantry, Medical and Signal Corps. The strength of the Guard fluctuates between about 3300 and 3500. The strength as of December 31, 1935, is 258 officers; 5 warrant officers ; 3083 enlisted men ; total 3346. DISBANDMENT AND REORGANIZATION There have been no new units organized within the year though the following Detachments were disbanded and reorganized at other stations: Inspectors Section, 30th Division, station Henderson, dis-banded and reorganized at Durham (General Orders No. 21, October 1, 1935). Medical Dept. Detachment, 3rd Squadron, 10 9th Cavalry, station Lincolnton, disbanded and reorganized at Asheville (General Orders No. 12, May 15, 1935 and General Orders No. 13, May 16, 1935). Report of The Adjutant General 9 aid to civil authorities The only call upon the troops for special duty during the year was orders issued Company C, 120th Infantry, at Henderson, in the effort to avoid the lynching of a negro. (Special Orders No. 242, July 30, 1935) . Within about ten minutes after the Governor had advised me of the situation and directed troops be ordered in aid to the civil authorities, I directed by telephone Captain Sturges to assemble his command and report to the sheriff. It was within fifty minutes from time of receipt of this order that Captain Sturges had his men report to the Armory, get into uniforms, arrange transportation, and report with his command to the sheriff about eighteen miles from his Armory, and near Louisburg. Realizing that men of the Company were at their homes or respective places of business and had to be located and get to the armory, the dispatch and efficiency as displayed by Capt. Sturges and the promptness of the men of the Company is most gratifying and commendable. Unfortunately it seems the man had been lynched before the Governor received any infor-mation of mob violence. U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY Under authority of the War Department, a preliminary exami-nation of applicants from the enlisted personnel of the Guard was held at this office in March, 1935, and Private Julian Rea Caston, Headquarters and Service Co., 105th Engineers, Charlotte, N. C, won the Governor's recommendation to take the entrance exami-nation for the Military Academy, West Point. U. S. ARMY SERVICE SCHOOLS Through the opportunity afforded by the War Department, the following officers attended Service Schools for a period of ap-proximately three months: Captain John C. M. Vann, com-manding Battery F, Field Artilery and Captain Edward F. Griffin, commanding Battery B, Field Artillery, attended the Battery Officers' Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Second Lieutenant Jack-son Greer, Jr., Service Battery, 252nd Coast Artillery, attended the Motor Transport School at Holabird, Maryland. NATIONAL MATCHES�����(AMP PERRY, OHIO The attendance of Rifle Teams from the National Guard at the National Matches was discontinued in 1932 because of lack of Federal funds. In 1935, the opportunity being again offered, North Carolina was represented by a National Guard team and by a Civilian team, the latter team having been organized by Mr. 10 Report of The Adjutant General Hugh M. Rooney of Linville, N. C, with the assistance of the Adjutant General, N. C. CAMPS: ARMORY DRILLS AND INSPECTIONS As required under Federal laws, all organizations of the Guard attended the 15 day camp during the summer of 1935. Armory drills, or drills by units at their home station, are held weekly for not less than VA, hours duration. Each year Regular Army officers are detailed by the Federal authorities to make the annual inspection of all organizations at their respective home stations. The training in the 1935 Camps of Instruction was most grati-fying, evidencing the fact that the units generally had received careful and proper instructions in the drills at home stations. The culmination of their training at home and at camp is the Annual Inspection. This inspection covers state of training ; condition of property ; records ; and personnel. ARMORY RUILDING PROGRAM WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION On July 22, 1935, Colonel 0. K. Yeager, representing the Works Progress Administration, Washington, D. C, met The Adjutants General of Virginia, North and South Carolina at this office to lay before us plans to build armories for the National Guard. This plan had been worked up through the efforts of the officials and committees of the National Guard Association of the United States. Under the plans presented, armories to cost within a $25,000 limit may be built with federal funds as a full grant to the State. The plot on which an armory proposed to be erected was to be provided by the state or local communities. The Adjutant General, N. C, selected 47 units having inade-quate armory facilities and issued circular letters and memoran-dums to these unit commanders, giving full particulars and re-quiring that the local community provide the necessary and acceptable grounds, the title to grounds to be transferred to the State at such time as W.P.A. authority to proceed with construc-tion may be received. This Department having no funds to provide an architect to draw plans and provide proper data to the state administrator to be submitted to Washington, discussed the matter with Mr. H. C. Linthicum of Linthicum and Linthicum, Architects, Raleigh. Mr. Linthicum generously offered to work up plans and data and to do the preliminary work free of charge, and that should the armories be built, he then to have supervision and to be paid from funds allotted for the construction, and that should the program Report of The Adjutant General 11 not go through, there would be no charge for his services. This a most generous offer without which North Carolina could hardly have proceeded in an effort to take advantage of the W. P. A. plan. The Adjutant General is most grateful to Mr. Linthicum for his untiring energies and the vast amount of work he has ac-complished for us. Though much has been done by this office in an effort to push the program to completion, none of our armories have been built. Our entire program has been approved by W. P. A. authorities, the President of the United States, and the Comptroller General, but our state administrator advises that sufficient funds have not been allotted the state to enter into such construction and that there is not sufficient number of skilled labor on the state relief rolls necessary to build the armories. Every possible effort is still being put forth to accomplish the desired results. Under a dif-ferent plan, the city of Durham, which provided $20,000, is about to have approved plans to build an armory for Company D, 120th Infantry, its local organization, the W. P. A. furnishing $30,000 of federal funds. WINSTON-SALEM AND BURLINGTON The city of Winston-Salem has within the year and just re-cently, through the initiative of its officials, provided Company G, 120th Infantry, with a very handsome and adequate armory from its own funds. Such interest on the part of this community is most appreciated by this Department as well as the officers and men of the Company. Through the generosity of a number of citizens of Burlington, Company A, 120th Infantry, has been provided with a very nice and adequate armory, which act on the part of these citizens is most commendable and is appreciated. CONCLUSION The organizations of the Guard are generally energetic in their training and are in a state of fair efficiency, improving steadily. It is believed the guard of this state would stack up with all others in the field in case of any national emergency. Its discipline and training was proven in the call to duty by the Governor in 1934. The service of Regular Army officers on duty as Instructors and their non-commissioned officers as Sergeant Instructors have been of great value in the training of the entire Guard of our State. Respectfully, J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General. REPORT OF SPECIAL DUTY State of North Carolina Adjutant General's Department Raleigh January 19, 1935. Subject: Report of The Adjutant General on Special Duty of Troops, North Carolina National Guard in Textile Strike Areas, Sep-tember 1934. To: Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Commander-in-Chief, North Carolina National Guard. 1. I desire to report on the subject matter of this communication as follows: Late afternoon of September 5th, 1934, the Governor called the Adju-tant General to report to him at the Executive office, and in conference there the Governor displayed a large number of telegrams he had received from several sections of the State, advising of the serious situation caused by the Textile Strike and the movement of flying squadrons (as they were termed) of strikers. These squadrons were moving by truck and auto-mobile from place to place, closing mills which had continued operating with employeees not desirous of striking. After a close perusal of these telegrams, the Adjutant General, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Gordan Smith, Assistant Adjutant General, was in conference with the Governor at the Executive Mansion until early hours of the following morning. At this time the Governor announced his policy, to the effect that: In view of the many reports of lawlessness and the inability of the civil authorities of certain counties and municipalities to cope with the situation, the State would where considered proper and necessary, upon call of the civil authorities, place its forces to assist in maintaining law and order, and more especially to afford protection to those citizens who wanted to work and were being denied that privilege and right through intimidation and force by those of the strikers. This policy extended to the protection of strikers and other citizens whose actions and conduct was within their legal rights; this thought with reference to picketing. The Governor directed the Adjutant General to take charge of the situation and under his authority to place troops of the National Guard at such points and in such strength as he deemed necessary. Five organizations were ordered on duty by phone, from the Mansion, between 12:30 and 1:30 A.M. of the 6th; others were called during the day and from time to time as the emergency required. The organizations called, whether during the night or day time, in all cases moved with dispatch and no time was lost in the arrival at their destination. According to the necessity and conditions, transportation was by bus, truck, private automobile and railroad. TRANSPORTATION. The cost of transportation by bus or truck figures little more, if any, than would have been railroad fare. All vouchers for this transportation Report of The Adjutant General 13 have been checked against the cost of rail movements; yet, in order to meet the situations it was necessary to utilize the quickest method of transporting the troops. RATIONS. Throughout the entire time, considering the number of men and number of days on this duty, the average cost of rationing the men, covering all areas, per man per day was 45 1/£c. HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL. ATTENTION. Medical troops were ordered only to the Kings Mountain, Burlington and Gastonia-Belmont areas, where troops covered large areas. At other points local physicians were called in for any sickness or accidents to troops. The expense incurred in the service of local physicians did not, it is believed, amount to that which would have resulted had medical officers of the Guard been placed on duty. Due to a few accidents, a few enlisted men were hospitalized; the expense involved through such causes has been settled in accordance with the provisions and authority of the State Industrial Commission, which applies to National Guardsmen injured in the service of the State. Calls for State assistance came from Roanoke Rapids, Tarboro, Golds-boro, Mooresville and other places. In some places civil authorities were able to master the situation; in others, mills remained closed and no necessity for troops developed. Troops were not ordered to those places though the State was in close touch with conditions, daily. HIGHWAY PATROL. The Highway patrol, under the direction of Captain Charles D. Farmer and his able assistants rendered a most valuable service to the State and the Guard. Though the Patrol was not used to maintain law and order in the strike areas, information furnished by this organization as to the movements of Flying Squadrons was of great value to the civil authorities and the troops. At Gastonia and Belmont where mobs of from two to five thousands were reported at various times blocking highways and streets, the splendid service of patrolmen was invaluable to the troops in the performance of their duties. This applies to other areas and service rendered by the Patrol. COMMENDATIONS. The Services of Colonel Don. E. Scott, representing the Adjutant General in the field, through which the Department was kept informed as to the general conditions, and in his assistance and advice to Commanding Officers of the several areas, were most efficient. Commanding Officers of the several strike areas, generally, performed their duties with sound judgment and efficiency. Especial commendation is due Lt. Col. R. B. Lewis, 2 5 2d C. A., Cmdg. Gastonia-Belmont area; Maj. Paul R. Younts, Cmdg, Troops at Belmont; Maj. Wm. V. Copeland, 120th Infantry, Cmdg. Burlington Area; Maj. Stephen B. Dolley, 120th Infantry, Cmdg. Kings Mountain, Shelby Area; Maj. Ralph L. Lewis, Cmdg. Greensboro-High Point Area; Maj. Eugene P. Coston, Cmdg. Marion-Spindale area; and Capt. Edwin C. Boyette, Jr., Cmdg. Corcord-Kannapolis area. From throughout the State have come commendations for the officers and men 14 Report of The Adjutant General of the Guard while on this duty. The conduct of all was to be admired. The splendid discipline shown by officers and men was all that could be desired and proved the high order of military training. Officers and men kept their heads and used sound judgment under most trying circumstances. These who so served the State are extended the appreciation and thanks of the Adjutant General and merit the appreciation of the entire citizenship of North Carolina. J. Van B.

He was relieved from duty 9/23/34. A detail of four enlisted men from the State Q.M. Detachment were or-dered to duty 9/15/34 guarding the State Arsenal, Raleigh, N. C, and were relieved from duy 9/22/34. 18 Report of The Adjutant General In the interval, Sept. 6, 1934 to Sept. 27, 1934, a total of 38 combatant units and three medical detachments were mobilized, comprising a total strength of 136 officers and 2,075 enlisted men. J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General, N. C. EXHIBIT B—RESUME' OF SITUATION—BY AREAS—UNITED TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE, 1934. MARION-SPINDALE AREA. During the Governor's conference on afternoon and night of Sept. 5, 1934, requests for aid were received from both Sheriff O. F. Adkins of McDowell County and Sheriff S. C. Moore of Rutherford County supported by requests from the mayors of Marion and Spindale, the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, and hundreds of the citizens. With the request for aid, the situation was advised as follows: There were 18 mills with approximately 6,000 employees, of which, 11 mills with 3,900 em-ployees had been closed by Flying Squadrons, with violence attending the closing of three of them. That, with the exception of one mill (partly unionized) the employees were non-union and wished to work and that great numbers of them were arming themselves and openly declaring that they were prepared to meet the next visit of the Flying Squadron and fight for their jobs. The Sheriffs advised that they were unable to get sufficient capable deputies to handle the situation because of the trouble in that vicinity during the strike of 1929. Immediately upon the Governor's decision as to policy and course of action, steps were taken to relieve the situation in this area. At 1:00 A. M., Sept. 6th, Major Eugene P. Coston, 109th Cavalry, was ordered to take command of the troops ordered to the area and report to Sheriff Adkins and Moore. Three units reported for duty that morning and Company I, 120th Infantry, reported the following morning from Wilming-ton, N. C. The troops cooperating with the civil authorities kept open the mills at Marion, preventing the threatened clash between the Flying Squadron and workers; reopened all Of the closed mills except one closed by its own employees, members of the Union; and kept 5,650 citizens from being driven from the jobs they desired to hold. In spite of the gravity of the situation, it was handled without further violence and in a manner that gained commendatory reports for officers and men from many sources. KANNAPOLIS—CONCORD AREA: While the Governor's conference was in session, telephone request for State aid was made by Sheriff Ray Hoover of Cabarrus County. Sheriff Hoover stated that he had 17 5 deputies divided between Concord and Kannapolis and was quite able to handle the situation except for Flying Squa-drons from out of the county. He called a little later and advised that there were 9 mills in the two communities employing approximately 12,000 persons (8,500 in Kannapolis, non-Union: 3,500 in Concord with from 400 to 500 members of the Union, who, of course, were striking). Report of The Adjutant General 19 He further stated that the Flying Squadron had closed two of the mills in spite of his efforts and that the situation promised violence and lawlessness where the Flying Squadrons from other sections would attempt to keep the other mills from opening in the morning . The sheriff's statements as to the gravity of the situation was supported by a number of others. At 1:00 A.M., Sept. 6th, Co. F. 120th Infantry, Charlotte, N. C, Capt. Edwin C. Boyette, commanding, was ordered to Kannapolis and the Ma-chine Gun Troop, 109th Cavalry, Statesville, N. C, Lieut. George Field, commanding, was ordered to Concord. Captain Boyette was directed to assume command of the troops in the area and to report to Sheriff Hoover for instructions. The troops, cooperating with the civil authorities, prevented further violence to citizens and property although the area was visited by numer-ous Flying Squadrons. At 2:30 P.M., Sept. 14th, a group tried to force an entrance to the Gibson Mill, Concord, N. C, but were held off by a small detachment until reinforcements arrived and quieted the disturbance. In the fray, 4 men of Machine Gun Troop, 10 9th Cavalry, were cut with knives; 3 of them were returned to duty after 1st aid and the other was confined to the hospital for a short time. Realizing that one company was isadequate to cover the wide-spread points needing protection, Battery A, 252nd Coast Artillery, was ordered to Concord and from that time until demobilization, law and order was maintained without further violence. On Sept. 17th and 18th the two mills closed by the Flying Squadrons were reopened. On Sept. 20th a truck carrying the guard relief to posts was overturned, causing serious injury to Pvt. Earl B. Overcash, Co. F, 120th Infantry, who was moved to St. Peters Hospital, Charlotte, N. C, for proper treatment. The sitiation in this area was aggravated by frequent broadcasts of Communist literature inciting riot and violence. BURLINGTON AREA. This area comprises Alamance County, contains about 40 mills em-ploying approximately 9,600 persons, 90% of whom wanted to work. Sheriff H. J. Stockard telegraphed that Flying Squadron was closing all mills, driving peaceful and willing workers out, and stated that he was unable to cope with the situation and asked aid. He followed up the telegram with telephone call urging prompt action, stating that the Flying Squadron had forced entrance to two mills, in one instance beating down the doors and driving out the workers by force. His statements were corroborated by other reliable sources so at 10:45 A.M., Sept. 6th, Com-panies A and M, 120th Infantry, were ordered to duty there with Capt. Adrian M. Carroll, the senior officer, in command of troops in the area. He was ordered to report to the sheriff to aid him in maintaining law and order. The troops very capably held the situation where it was by keeping at a pace and tour of duty that was exhausting officers and men. At 12:05 A.M.. Sept. 12th, Co. B, 120th Infantry was ordered to Burlington upon advice that the troops were nearing exhaustion and that, due to local lawless elements and Flying Squadrons from neighboring counties, the situation was getting uglier every moment. At 8:00 A.M. Major William V. Copeland was ordered to take command of troops in area. At midnight, Sept. 13th, Major Copeland advised by telephone that the situation was 20 Report of The Adjutant General very tense and that he had reliable information that the striking element would make a concerted drive on Burlington the following morning. At 12:05 A.M., Sept. 14th, the Service Co., 120th Infantry, was ordered to Burlington and reported there at 3:30 A. M. At 6:00 A.M. the entire com-mand moved to the Holt Plaid Mill, the center of all disturbances, and ordered the large crowd assembled there to disperse, warning them that they would be ejected by force unless they dispersed immediately. After a stubborn fight of two hours, the crowd was dispersed with bayonets, nightsticks, and gas. Several members of the crowd received slight bayonet wounds and others were clubbed. Three men and a woman were arrested and turned over to the sheriff. A system was then adopted of small outposts at the outlying mill villages of the county, all connected by direct wire with Headquarters in Burlington where three highly mobile patrols were stationed. This system soon broke up and drove all Flying Squadrons from the county. At 3:30 A.M., Sept. 15th, a blast of dynamite shattered about 300 window lights at the Holt Mill and several bundles of 4 sticks were found by troops and civil authorities at other mills. To combat this, barricades were placed at strategic points and all cars were searched—no dynamite was found, but numbers of persons were disarmed, the arms being turned over to civil authorities. From this time until demobilization, law and order was maintained without further violence; all mills were reopened except four, closed by strike of their own em-ployees, providing protection and employment for 7,700 workers who were not in sympathy with the strike. Many letters have been received from citizens of this area commending the conduct and military bearing of Gfficers and men. KINGS MOUNTAIN AREA. At Kings Mountain there are located eleven mills employing 1,900 people. The town is non-Union with the exception of 330 persons comprising the employees of two mills which were closed by them striking and remained closed until termination of the strike. Telegrams, asking aid, from the Chief of Police and hundreds of citizens stated that all of the mills opened the first day of the strike with full forces; that part of them were closed that morning by Flying Squadron from Shelby which returned Tuesday augmented by Flying Squadrons from Charlotte and closed the balance. Sheriff J. R. Cline of Cleveland County phoned that the citizens of Kings Mountain were demanding of him protection in going to and remaining on their jobs and that he didn't have the necessary force to protect them and needed State aid badly. At 1:00 P.M., Sept. 6th, three units and a medical detachment were ordered to Kings Mountain under command of Major Stephen B. Dolley. Major Dolley was ordered to report to Sheriff Cline to aid civil authorites as needed. The troops cooperating with civil authorities opened 8 mills on the morning of Sept. 9th. They quickly broke up a few instances of illegal picketing and dispersed a small mob without resistance, allowing approximately 1,300 employees to enter their work peacefully. The next morning the other non-Union mill opened and 250 more workers were on their jobs. Although the situation was kept tense by occasional visits of Flying Squadrons from Shelby and Gastonia, there was no further lawlessness at this point. Report of The Adjutant General 21 At Cherryville, sixteen miles from Kings Mountain, there are located seven mills employing 928 persons, all non-Union. The town was visited three different times and the employees driven from their jobs twice under assault and battery and then warned that they would be treated with violence if they returned to their work again. Sheriff Clyde Robinson of Gaston County advised that he had all he could look after in Gastonia and couldn't spare but 25 deputies to Cherryville which, together with the Cherryville police force, was inadequate to protect the citizens who were compelled to work in spite of threats. The Mayor and Chief of Police insisted that aid be given them and the sheriff asked the State for aid in protecting the citizens of Cherryville. On Sept. 12th, Major Dolley was ordered to take over Cherryville and render the necessary protection and after a visit made by him and Col. Scott that afternoon, it was decided to send over Co. E, 120th Infantry, less one platoon. At 4:30 A.M., Sept. 13th, they moved out of Kings Mountain to occupy Cherryville and at 6:00 A.M. all mills reopened under protection of troops and deputies with nearly all employees at work. There was no further disturbance at this point. Shelby, a union town fourteen miles from Kings Mountain, had all mills closed voluntarily by strike except three mills employing 4 60 persons, which were forcibly closed by strikers from other local mills. A delegation from these mills visited the Governor and Adjutant General soliciting aid as it was a financial necessity that they continue to work as they had al-ready lost more than a week and had to have money to provide food for themselves and families. Numbers of others requested aid and the sheriff asked that the military forces already in the county be ordered to take over Shelby also. Major Dolley and Col. Scott looked the situation over and Major Dolley was ordered to add Shelby and Lincolnton to his area. One platoon of Co. A, 105th Engineers, were ordered to Shelby, trans-ferring the command from Major Coston to Major Dolley. Troop I, 109th Cavalry, was ordered to Shelby from Lincolnton where it had been on duty since 6:00 P.M. Sept. 6th. (Sheriff A. F. Reinhardt of Lincoln County had kept control of the local situation but in doing so had arrested members of a Flying Squadron, which had sent for others to assist in a jail delivery. He requested State aid to prevent the delivery and aid him in upholding the law.) From this time on, Lincolnton was handled by a patrol operating out of Cherryville. Headquarters and all but one platoon of Co. K were moved from Kings Mountain to Shelby at 4:00 A.M., Sept. 17, 1934, where the Lily Mill opened at 6:00 A.M. with all employees present. The other two mills opened the 19th with all but four employees present. No further disturbance occurred in this community which is sufficient to commend the military discipline and efficiency of the officers and men ordered to this area. GREENSBORO-HIGH POINT AREA. Numbers of citizens and public officials requesting aid for this area ad-vised that there were six mills in Greensboro and vicinity employing 5,123 people; that there were 24 mills in High Point employing about 6,500. Greensboro was said to be practically non-Union while High Point was 3 5 to 40% unionized. High Point was also said to have a Socialist Head- 22 Report of The Adjutant General quarters and Communist school. Sheriff Jos. S. Phipps wired it was im-perative to order out Guard, conditions very grave. At 2:15 P.M., Sept. 6th, Major Ralph L. Lewis was ordered to take command of troops in this area and report to Sheriff Phipps. The 2nd Battalion, 252nd C.A.C., Greensboro, was ordered to duty at the same time and the two units in High Point were ordered to duty at 4:30 P.M. The troops succeeded in keeping open or reopening every mill in Greensboro, keeping the entire personnel at work for the entire tour of duty without further disturbance. In High Point they succeeded in keeping open 15 mills with 2,914 em-ployees at work and gradually opened 8 more with 1,117 employees at work. In High Point the situation was quite tense and Major Lewis thought it best to move the three Greensboro units to High Point and the two High Point units to Greensboro, which proved good strategy as the two units were able to handle the Greensboro situation, while at High Point the troops were called upon several times to disperse crowds with bayonets and gas. In each case, the crowds were being incited to riot and violence by communist and radical speakers and were already wrought up to the point that the civil authorities were unable to do anything and the troops were able to disperse them only after breaking a stubborn resist-ance with a determined advance of wedge formations with fixed bayonets. In each instance several of the mob received slight bayonet wounds. Con-ditions were such that on Sept. 16th additional troops were ordered to High Point. On Sept. 9th a carload of troops enroute from High Point to Greens-boro turned over from a tire blowout with several slightly injured, necessitating hospitalization. Having received numerous pleas for aid from citizens and civil authorities of Lexington and from Sheriff G. V. Bodenheimer of Davidson County, it was decided to send Major Lewis to Lexington to investigate. On or about Sept. 20th he went to Lexington and finding the situation as bad as stated, he recommended a detachment of troops be sent there from High Point, which was immediately done. The following morning he was invited by the head of the local Union to speak to the strikers. He ac-cepted and outlined the soldiers' duty to protect the rights of all and pre-serve the peace. His talk was enthusiastically received and from then on all violence ceased and the strikers cooperated with the soldiers in every way; on one occasion they even furnished the night guard with hot coffee and sandwiches. SAINT PAUL AREA. Sheriff P. S. Kornegay of Robeson County advised that there were three mill towns in Robeson County all of which were having trouble with Flying Squadrons: that he had 75 deputies and could handle the situation at Lumberton and Red Springs provided the State would aid him by ordering out troops to take care of St. Paul. At 3:10 P.M., Sept. 6th, Capt. Francis E. Wishart, commanding Battery B, 252nd C.A.C., was ordered out and Capt. Wishart was ordered to report to Sheriff Kornegay for duty. The unit proceeded to St. Pauls where there are three mills em-ploying 562 persons, which had been closed by Flying Squadrons. They reopened all mills with 48 2 employees back at their jobs and preserved peace and order throughout the tour of duty. On the night of Sept. 13th Report of The Adjutant General 23 Sheriff Kornegay phoned for assistance at Red Springs and this unit within thirty minutes had two officers and 24 men report to him. This unit was held ready to respond instantly to any calls from Sheriff Kornegay for assistance at the other two points. Numerous letters have been received commending the bearing and conduct of the officers and men. FAYETTEVILLE AREA. Sheriff N. H. McGeachy of Cumberland County advised that in the vicinity of Fayetteville there were two mills employing 5 50 persons closed by strike of Union employees and four mills employing 875 persons, 100% against the strike. He advised that these four were closed by local strikers aided by Flying Squadrons from outside and that violence had been pre-vented by the management closing to prevent a clash between the mob and workers who were willing to fight for their jobs. He stated that those who wished to work were getting in an ugly mood towards outside inter-ference and that he expected a disastrous clash at any moment unless the State would give him aid. At 4:00 P.M., Sept. 6th, Co. L, 120th Infantry, was ordered to report to the sheriff at Fayetteville. The company aiding civil authorities reopened the four mills with 835 employees back on their jobs. Although repeatedly requested, the troops would not interfere at the Puritan Mills because it was understood that only a minoritiy of em-ployees were non-Union and wanted to work. However, at 1:30 A.M., Sept. 15th, dynamite was exploded on the mill property in an effort to blow up the transformers, so the military took over the protection of this mill, which opened immediately with 325 of its 400 employees reporting for work. At 11:00 P.M., Sept. 15th, a sentry fired shots in an effort to appre-hend a man thought trying to blow up the transformers and at 12:00 P. M., Sept. 17th, civilian officers fired shots at men apparently attempting to blow up the dam of the reservoir. No one was hurt. COOLEEMEE AREA. Sheriff C. C. Smoot of Davie County advised that the Erwin Mill em-ploying 1265 non-Union workers had been closed by a very threatening and intimidating crowd from foreign sections; that he was doing all in his power to handle the situation at the time but that he would have to have aid to protect the workers when the mill reopened in the morning. At 5:00 P.M., Sept. 6th, Co. C, 105th Engrs., Capt. Cole commanding, was ordered to report to the sheriff at Cooleemee. The troops cooperating with the sheriff and deputies, reopened the mill with 70% of its em-ployees reporting for work, and 100% normal by Sept. 11th. The troops halted and turned away several Flying Squadrons and kept a close eye on several Communist visitors; restricting their activities to distribution of Communist literature. No doubt the presence of troops prevented vio-lence at this point. REIDSVILLE AREA. Sheriff L. M. Sheffield of Rockingham County advised at first that he had deputies and could handle the situation although the Governor and this office had received requests for aid from the mayor and several citizens of Reidsville. He advised that there were 13 mills in the county employing approximately 5,000 non-Union workers who wanted to work. 24 Report of The Adjutant General He telephoned later that the Flying Squadrons were making his job more difficult than expected and requested that the Reidsville unit be ordered out to take care of the situation there and subject to his call if assistance were needed at Leaksville-Spray, where the bulk of the mills were located. At 9:35 P.M., Sept. 6th, the Reidsville unit was ordered to duty; its presence permitted the reopening of the closed mills with employees on the job 100% and no doubt rendered considerable aid to Sheriff Sheffield as it discouraged further visits of Flying Squadrons from other counties. KINSTOX AREA. Numerous requests for aid came from the Mayor and citizens of Kinston and Sheriff Churchill of Lenoir County. They advised that the one mill there employed 3 50 non-Union people, all wanting to work. They advised that it was being operated by a city bond issue to prevent these people being subjects of charity. The sheriff was advised to handle the situation himself but he called later and stated that he had made 50 deputies but was sure there would be trouble when they were faced by a Flying Squad-ron as they were inexperienced and poorly armed. At 10:30 P.M., Sept. 6th, the Service Battery, 113th F. A., was ordered to duty and relieved as soon as the strikers abandoned the Flying Squadron tactics. WINSTON-SALEM AREA. In Winston-Salem and vicinity were 13 mills employing approximately 5,000 persons partly Unionized with 7 5 to 85% wishing to work. The mills were kept open the first week of trouble by the sheriff and his 60 deputies but on Sunday, Sept. 8th, the Mayor, Chief of Police, and Sheriff Transcou Scott requested by telephone that aid be given them to handle the situation Monday as the Flying Squadrons and crowds were daily getting larger and more difficult to handle. At 11:00 A.M., Sept. 9, Co. G, 120th Infantry, was ordered to duty. They took their post at the schoolhouse with trucks to move them to any point upon call. Al-though they were never called. Sheriff Scott and Chief Wooten made firm statements that it was the knowledge of their presence and readiness for immediate action that kept the crowds submissive to the civil authorities. At 11:22 P.M., Sept. 13th, a detachment of two officers and 39 men were ordered to High Point as a reinforcement and relief for the troops on duty there. They immediately went on duty, remaining until 10:30 P.M., Sept. 14th, thus affording a much needed rest to the troops stationed in the very active area of High Point. This unit was ordered to demobilize Sept. 18th but to hold itself ready to take the field at a moment's notice. CENTRAL FALLS AREA. A delegation of Sheriff C. E. King of Randolph County and others saw the Governor on Sept. 9th stating the condition in their county. The Sheriff called for aid on the 10th and on the 11th advised that Flying Squadrons had repeatedly closed the mill at Central Falls, employing 450 non-Union workers who were 100% for working and would go back each time the Squadron left. He stated that this was causing the situation to take on an ugly aspect and that troops would be necessary to handle the direct threat of outside force as he was unable to cope with the situation with the forces at his command. At 10:00 A.M., Sept. 11th, the Asheboro Report of The Adjutant General 25 unit, Lt. Cox commanding, was ordered to report to the sheriff at Central Falls. They arrived in the midst of a tense situation but soon had things under control and. kept them so until demobilized. GASTOMA-BELMOXT AREA. Realizing that Gastonia workers were nearly all Union members and in sympathy with the strike, the Adjutant General, following the Governor's policy, refused to send troops there although repeated requests were made from several sources, including the sheriff. A delegation of employees from the Hanover Mill and a similar delegation from the Loray Mill con-ferred with the Governor and the Adjutant General; the Loray delegation presenting a petition signed by 802 of its 860 employees petitioning the Governor to protect them at their jobs from which they had been driven with violence. The case presented was that the average length of em-ployment of the present employees was 17 years; that there was satis-factory cooperation between mill and employees; that they were non-union and had no reason to be; and that they could expect no financial aid from anyone and unless the State would protect their jobs they and their families would become wards of charity rather than self-supporting, self-respecting citizens. As the two mills were in the same vicinity and advice was received that they were considering a desperate effort to open although advised by Mayor Denney of Gastonia that he had only 30 deputies and 32 police available for protection; it was decided to send troops to try to prevent the threatened violence and disorder. At 1:30 P.M., Lt. Col. Robert B. Lewis, 252nd C.A.C., was ordered to report to Sheriff Clyde Robinson at Gastonia and assume command of the three units ordered to that area. These units opened the Loray and Hanover mills with 1,115 employees at work and maintained peace and order in that vicinity, allowing the Union to carry out a system of legal picketing, that didn't interfere with rights of anyone. At 9:30 P. M., Sept. 15th, Col. Lewis made a complete report of the situation to the Governor and requested Highway Patrolmen to assist in handling traffic Sunday and part of Monday; Lt. Fisher of the State High-way Patrol reported at 9:15 A.M., Sept. 16th, with 23 patrolmen and rendered invaluable assistance throughout the tour of duty. Col. Lewis advised General Metts on morning of Sept. 15th that the authorities of Belmont were repeatedly requesting protection for the workers of the Hatch Hosiery Mill which would open Monday as its employees were said to be non-Union. That same day four more units were ordered to Gastonia for Col. Lewis to use in Gastonia or Belmont as needed. The following day, Sept. 16th, the Medical Detachment, 10 9th Cavalry, was ordered there and Major Paul Younts ordered to report to Col. Lewis as executive officer. On Sept. 16th Col. Lewis ordered Co. B, 105th Engrs., Co. C, 120th Inf., and 1st Bn. Hdqrs. Co., 120th Inf. to the Belmont area under com-mand of Major Younts with orders to operate from a base established at the Hatch Hosiery Mill. After reaching this base, it was heard that the Federal Administration had withdrawn the Blue Eagle from the Hatch Mill but was understood to have been returned. Upon investigation, it was learned that the Blue Eagle had not been reinstated, therefore, in ac-cordance with the Governor's policy, it was advised that the troops would 26 Report of The Adjutant General not assist the opening of the Hatch Mill so the management decided not to open. By this time, Monday morning, Sept. 17th, the situation in Bel-mont was becoming critical as the textile workers of Gastonia were en-deavoring to force a walkout of the hosiery mill employees by acts of law-less violence and intimidation, so the troops were moved to the Belmont Hosiery Mill and Knit Products Mill. The situation in Belmont became worse every moment until by afternoon of Sept. 18th there was a mob of four to five thousand men and women in front of the Knit Products Mill. The mob began stopping automobiles and turning them back, in some in-stances damaging them while doing so; they stopped the sheriff's car, damaging it considerably, and were dragging him from the car when rescued by soldiers. Upon receipt of this report and reports of other acts of violence to workers at points the soldiers were unable to cover, two more units were ordered to Belmont. At 9:20 P.M. two officers and six squads were dispatched from Gastonia to Belmont where a mob of approx-imately 2,000 persons gathered at the Knit Products Mill, began rocking the mill and upon someone in the crowd firing a pistol at one of the sentinels, orders were given to disperse the crowd with bayonets. In the action that followed two persons were sent to the hospital from bayonet wounds, one Ernest Riley, dying from loss of blood. The following morning the other two companies arrived, and although tense, the situa-tion was under control and kept so until the termination of the strike, opening more mills daily until mills representing 70% of the spindles of Gaston County were in operation. The discipline, courage, and level-headedness of officers and men under this trying situation have been commended from many sources and are a credit to the National Guard of the State of North Carolina. ALBEMARLE AREA. At 6:00 P.M., Sept. 12th, Sheriff T. F. Crisco of Stanley County phoned, stating that there were four mills in Albemarle employing 3,038 people with only 22 Union members; that Flying Squadrons had made several attempts to close them, but had been prevented by him and deputies; that the Squadrons were promising to return in the morning with sufficient strength to close the mills and as there was a private move on to handle the situation, he was afraid he would not be able to handle the situation and wished the troops called out. He called again and wired for aid the following day, so at 1:45 P.M., Sept. 13th, two units were ordered to Albemarle under command of Capt. John C. M. Vann, the senior officer. The troops arrived amid a tense situation but quickly established head-quarters and outposts and had the situation under control without further disturbance except few threats and jeers which were passed up. ROANOKE RAPIDS AREA. Although troops were not ordered to this area, it is mentioned because of the conditions surrounding it. Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids ajoin each and is practically one community. In Roanoke Rapids were three mills employing about 2,550 Union employees, closed by strike of these employees. In Rosemary, the Rosemary Manufacturing Company, em-ploying about 900 persons, with about 50% organized into a company Union which together with non-Union employees totaling 90% all em- Report of The Adjutant General 27 ployees wanted to work. This mill has a custom of closing the last two weeks in August for a vacation of all employees and as at Sept. 1st the strikers didn't permit this mill to reopen, the employees were in a desperate financial situation. Sheriff G. H. Johnson, delegation of employees and others visited the Governor and Adjutant General requesting aid. This aid had to be refused as the situation would demand a number of troops which, of course, had to be held in reserve for emergencies that might occur at points where the State had already accepted the issue. This was regretted very much as Roanoke Rapids was known to be the source of trouble at Tarboro, Goldsboro, and in fact, practically all of eastern North Carolina. J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General, N. C. COMPANY "C" 120TH INFANTRY—N.C.N. G. Henderson, N. C, July 30, 1935 Subject: Report of Special Duty. To: The Adjutant General, Raleigh, N. C. 1. Complying with telephone conversation at 12:40 P.M., July 30th, 1935, and confirmed with special orders No. 242 AGNC, July 30, 1935, this Company mobilized at its armory in Henderson. 2. Captain Sturges reported to the Sheriff of Franklin County by tele-phone advising that the company was moving out immediately to render what assistance it could in helping him and his deputies to preserve the law and order of the State. 3. Captain Sturges reported in person to the Sheriff's Office of Vance County and was advised that the Sheriff was in Franklin County near the scene of the crime committed earlier in the day, where one negro, Ward, murdered a Mr. Stokes. 4. Due to the urgency of the situation Captain Sturges and 1st. Lt. Gilbert M. O'Neil left at 1:10 P.M. with 30 enlisted men in privately owned cars for Louisburg, N. C. to report for duty to the Sheriff of Frank-lin County. 2nd Lt. George D. Williams remained at the armory with 10 enlisted men and instructions to hold the members coming in after our departure in readiness to move out immediately on telephone orders from Captain Sturges. 5. The detail moving out at 1:10 P.M. consisted of one completely organized mobile gas squad and 22 men armed with rifles calibre .30 and rifles calibre .30 automatic and a sufficient supply of gas and ammunition. This detail located and reported to Sheriff Moore and County Attorney Charles Green of Franklin County on Highway 39, about two miles north-west of Louisburg, N .C. Sheriff Moore advised at 1:30 P.M. that he had been unable to locate the mob that had taken the prisoner from him. He suggested that we send a detachment back to Stokes home place in the Epsom Community to see if they could locate the mob. He further sug-gested that Captain Sturges and a detachment accompany him and County 28 Report of The Adjutant General Attorney Green to the Cedar Rock district which is located on the Nash-ville highway about eight miles due east of Louisburg. He further stated that it was in this section that the mob took his prisoner and thought it wise to go there and look the situation over. 6. Complying with the Sheriff's instructions Captain Sturges sent to the Stokes home place a detachment under the command of 1st. Lt. Gilbert M. O'Neil. Upon arrival of this detachment at the Stokes home place Lt. O'Neil was informed that the negro had been lynched and was hanging to a tree about a mile and a half from the home place. Leaving a guard at the Stokes home place this detachment proceeded to the scene of the lynching and aided the authorities in controlling the crowd gathered, which consisted for the most part of curiosity seekers. 7. As soon as Lt. O'Neil and his detachment started for the above mentioned Stokes place Captain Sturges and his detachment started for the Cedar Rock district at about 1:35 P.M. Approximately 300 yards down the highway the Sheriff overtook Captain Sturges and informed him that he had information from reliable sources that the said prisoner Ward had been killed. Captain Sturges continued immediately to the Franklin County Court House, situated in Louisburg, N. C, and at 1:45 P.M. put in a long distance call from the Sheriff's Office to the Adjutant General in Raleigh, N. C. Captain Sturges talked with the Adjutant General at ap-proximately 2:00 P.M. The delay in completing this call was due to the fact that the Adjutant General was at lunch. Captain Sturges advised the Adjutant General of his conversation with the Sheriff in which the Sheriff stated that the prisoner had been lynched and he further advised the Adjutant General that the situation was quiet and no further trouble was anticipated. The Adjutant General advised Captain Sturges to assemble his command and return to its Home Station and dismiss the men. 8. Upon arrival at Home Station the command was dismissed at 3:30 P.M. 9. The actual elapsed time between the first phone call from the Adju-tant General and reporting to the Sheriff of Franklin County two miles northwest of Louisburg on Highway 3 9 was 50 minutes. The actual elapsed time between the first phone call from the Adjutant General and Captain Sturges' phone call from the Sheriff's Office in Louisburg, N. C. a distance of twenty miles, was one hour and five minutes. Respectfully submitted, Conrad B. Sturges, Capt. 120th Inf., Comd'g Co. C. REPORT OF U. S. PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER 1933 State of North Carolina Office of U. S. PROPERTY AM) Disbursing Officer Raleigh June 30, 1933. Subject: Annual Report. To: The Adjutant General of North Carolina, Raleigh, N. C. 1. Report of the U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer for the period July 1, 1932 to June 30, 1933, is hereby submitted. ACTIVITIES The office has functioned in accordance with federal and State laws and regulations during the period covered by this report. FEDERAL PROPERTY The state of equipment of the National Guard continues to be excellent. There has been no difficulty in obtaining from the federal government all needed supplies and similarly, unserviceable property has ben disposed of as prescribed in regulations. This year has been one of the most active in recent years and the following is of interest: Number of requisitions handled for supply 718 Number of Reports of Survey handled 151 Number of I & I reports handled 222 OLD SHORTAGES Efforts have ben continued to remove shortages of former commanding officers. These shortages occurred over a period of ten years and came about on account of a lack of realization on the part of responsible officers to proper realize their responsibility, lack of training in the care of prop-erty and failure to adjust shortages as they occurred. Nineteen officers had a shortage of $20,270.46 and during the year this office prepared reports of survey for the entire shortage. The reports of survey were approved by the War Department and complete relief granted by a refund of $4,760.20 which was paid by the company who wrote the individual bonds of the officers. The reports of survey relieved the State from liability and the bonding company saved exactly $15,510.24. At the present time shortages are negligible and under the physical inventory system, recommended by this office in 19 26 and renewed in 1928, shortages of any consequence should be entirely eliminated in the future. FEDERAL FUNDS The number of vouchers handled during the year was 1087. Sus-pensions of vouchers by the General Accounting Office have been re-markably small and this office has a splendid record in this respect. The usual inspections were made by officers of the Inspector General's Depart-ment and no unfavorable comments were made. Funds expended were as follows: 30 Report of The Adjutant General Receipts Balance on hand July 1, 1932 $ 2,114.62 War Warrants 184,324.67 $186,439.29 Disbursements Expenses, Camps of Instruction $124,484.48 Compensation, care takers and mechanics 32,308.25 U.

It is of interest to not the aproximate amounts expended by this office for the federal government on different projects which were as follows: 1924—Target range $23,828.00 1926—Target range 805.00 1927—Repairs to Buildings 9,450.00 1927—Painting Buildings 3,275.00 1927—Repairs 400.00 1929—Improvements and repair buildings 3,557.00 1929—Roofing buildings 6,550.00 1930—Painting buildings 2,486.00 1930—Painting water tank 497.00 1931��Tent floors 2,184.00 1931—Servants house 447.00 1931—Filling in East end of Camp Site 1,089.00 1931—Screening 346.00 1932—Refrigerators 875.00 1932—Building 200 yd. concrete firing point 921.00 GENERAL During the year complications in connection with federal property, finances, transportation requests, Bills of lading, contracts, etc., have been less than has been the case in a number of years. Obviously, this could not have been possible without cooperation on the part of the various responsible officers with whom this office has to deal. Responsible officers give prompt and efficient attention to administrative matters and, with few exceptions, their rating would be excellent. This cooperation and the fine assistance rendered by the National Guard Bureau and its personnel is appreciated and has made it possible for this office to obtain a repu-tation for general efficiency.

FEDERAL PROPERTY The equipment of the National Guard of the State is adequate and all organizations are properly equipped for field service. During the period of State Service in 1934 when practically all units were on duty for from one to eight weeks, it is a fact that no deficiencies in equipment were noted.

GENERAL, This office has functioned during the two years with few complications in connection with federal property and finance, transportation requests, bills of lading, contracts, etc. This could not have been possible without the co-operation of responsible officers with whom this office has to deal. This co-operation and the fine assistance of the National Guard Bureau is appreciated and has enabled this office to establish a reputation for general efficiency. Gordon Smith, Lt. Col. QMC. U. 8.

Sir: — I herein submit a report of the operations of the Adju-tant General's Department and of the matters pertaining to the National Guard of the State, for the period January 1st, 1933 to December 31, 1934, or two years. THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT The Department has carried on its activities on a very much reduced budget, as has no doubt, other departments, yet an analy-sis of the situation is rather interesting. The appropriation made to maintain our National Guard for each year of the biennium 1929-1931 was $157,300: for the period, 1931-1933, each year $117,000. For these latter years the Director of the Budget ordered a 30 % reduction which gave this department an allotment of $81,900 per each year instead of the total of $117,000. For the next two years, 1933-1935 the appropriation was $60,350.00 for each year. It may be readily realized that many activities were necessarily curtailed. A small annual allotment to those officers of the Guard, having administrative functions, involving expense, has been eliminated, yet it seems not fair that these officers giving time and thought to the maintenance of an efficient organi-zation, should be saddled with these expenses. In the mainte-nance of an efficient military organization, it is essential that commanding officers of Regiments and Battalions, keep in touch with their respective units through correspondence, reports and visitation from time to time. Travel was reduced to a minimum. The National Guard is willing and desirious to do its part in operating on a reduced budget but at the same time a reduction in 4 Report of The Adjutant General annual appropriations from $157,300 (1929-1931) to $60,350 (1933-1935) is considered extreme to an extent that many of our approximate 60 units, located in various Counties, have carried on their functions under trying circumstances. Certain require-ments of the Federal Government must be met in order to partici-pate in Federal funds and it is incumbent upon the State to pro-vide adequate funds for armories and other necessary expenses. The State is not paying officers or men and this department and the National Guard are operating on a greatly reduced basis from every standpoint. In 1923, the General Assembly provided for the payment of 50c per drill for each enlisted man so attending the drills at their home station, not to exceed 60 drills per year, in so far as funds were available. This to be paid under the same regulation as made by the War Department, for the payment of Federal armory drill pay. This item of the budget has now been eliminated. The service of these young men of the Guard is purely voluntary upon enlistment, yet they become subject to orders of the Governor for duty- within the State whenever called upon and are generally subject to military laws and regulations. The small amount paid by the Federal Government is a mere pittance for the service rendered and it is much regretted that the State pay stops. It is most important that the Adjutant General or his repre-sentative, visit the units of the Guard now and then, in order to check the training, discipline and administration of the affairs of the organization in order to maintain an "Esprit de corps" and efficiency. Such travels have in the past two years, been much curtailed. Likewise the travel of Commanding Officers. Though there has been an approximate 40% reduction in sal-aries of employees, this office having voluntarily eliminated one employee in order to assist in the conservation of funds, a very efficient force has been maintained. For two weeks or more, during the textile strike in September 1934, these employees worked nights, Saturday afternoon and Sundays, and since have made strenuous efforts to catch up with routine matters, which due to the extra call upon them, were much behind. The placing of troops in the several strike areas, and their operations were handled directly from this office as the General Headquarters, placing the direct responsibility, in organized areas of the State, upon officers commanding the area. Every effort was made to hold expenses to a minimum. Though the General Strike was called for Monday, September 3rd, it was not until the 6th, when due to lawless conditions and Report of The Adjutant General 5 intimidation and force keeping those desiring to work from fol-lowing their desire, that, the Governor called the Adjutant Gen-eral in for conference and directed him to take charge of the situation and place troops in such places and at such times as deemed proper and necessary. The Adjutant General was in close and constant touch with the Governor and also with the situation throughout the State. Being closely confined due to the direction, from the office, of troop movements and operations in all areas, the Adjutant General was not in position to visit the areas in person. Colonel Don E. Scott, Commanding the 120th Infantry was placed under orders to represent the Adjutant General in visiting all areas, reporting upon the situation, from time to time to these Headquarters and to assist the Commanding Officers. Colonel Scott's service in this direction proved most valuable and his duties were performed most efficiently. Towards the end of the strike and as conditions warranted, the return of organizations to their home station was begun, saving additional expense and that the young men might return to their civil pursuits as promptly as possible. NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD Other than the call to duty as mentioned above, no troops have been ordered on Special Duty during the years 1933-1934. For a more detailed report on the duty of troops in September 1934, see the Adjutant General's report of strike duty in Sept. 1934. The strength of the Guard of the State is at present 260 officers and 3121 enlisted men, a total of 3381. The efficiency of this organization is evidenced in the thorough discipline and evidence of training, as displayed by officers and men on duty in the strike areas when under the mental and physical strain of the moment, in the presence of mobs of great numbers, all kept their head and performed the duty as directed. SERVICE SCHOOLS—REGULAR ARMY Under authority of the War Department, each year a limited number of officers and men of the National Guard are authorized to attend one of the Army Service Schools and North Carolina sent to these schools, the following: 1933—Maj. James C. Cooper, 120th Inf.—Fort Benning, Ga. Capt. Thomas S. Kittrell, Co. C, 120th Inf.—Ft. Benning, Ga. 1st. Lt. James W. Tallent, Trp K, 109th Cav.—Ft. Riley, Kas. Cpl. John D. Hancock, Hqrs. Co., 3rd Bn., 120th Inf. Ft. Benning Ga. 6 Report of The Adjutant General 1934—1st. Lt. Nathaniel McN. Smith, Btry F, 252nd C. A.—Ft. • Monroe, Va. 2nd. Lt. James M. Hall, Co. I, 120th Inf.—Edgewood Arsenal, Md. U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY As provided in the National Defense Act and by authority of the War Department a preliminary examination of candidates from the National Guard is held at the Office of the Adjutant General in November to select two men for the Governor's recom-mendation to enter a competitive examination held the following March, with those recommended from the Guard of the several States. In 1933 Sgt. Nicholas H. Chavass, Service Co., 105th Med. Regt., Henderson, N. C. was so recommended by the Gover-nor and in 1934, Pvt. Edward R. Holt, Jr., Hqrs. & Service Co., 105th Engrs., Charlotte, N. C. and Pvt. Edward T. McConnell, Howitzer Co., 120th Inf., Gastonia, N. C. won this recommen-dation. This provision of Federal law provides an excellent op-portunity for bright young men to secure an excellent education and service to his country in the Regular Army or a good start in civil life. UNITED STATES PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER The National Defense Act and regulations of the War Depart-ment provide that Federal funds expended within a State for pay of mechanics and caretakers pay of troops for service in camps of Instruction, transportation and subsistance pertaining to such camps and sundry other items, will be handled through an officer of the Guard, appointed by the Governor with the approval of the War Department as the United States Property and Dis-bursing Officer. This officer is accountable for Federal property issued the Guard and with the keeping of records of same. Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Smith, also the Assistant Adjutant General, has held the position of U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer for several years. Possessing that technical ability for details his services in this work as evidenced in the efficient man-ner and accuracy with which his records are kept, have been most satisfactory. INSTRUCTORS We have been fortunate in that the Regular Army officers de-tailed to this State and the Sergeant Instructors have been authorized by the War Department to continue their detail for five or more years. They have known and appreciated the many Report of The Adjutant General 7 difficulties under which the Guard has been maintained and their service in assisting in the instruction of troops, based upon an ability gained through long service in the Regular Army, has al-ways been of the greatest value. We lost the Senior Instructor, Colonel Howard G. Davids, Infantry, in September 1934, after seven years of most efficient and valuable service to the Guard. He was admired and respected by all. The vacancy was filled through the detail to this duty, of Colonel Adolphe Huguet, In-fantry, whom the Adjutant General has known for years and whose record in the Army, disposition and interest in the National Guard, bespeaks for him a most successful tour of duty to the benefit of the several organizations of our Guard. For detailed statement of Audit of State funds allotted this Department, see Exhibit A attached. J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General. 8 Report of The Adjutant General REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 1935—DECEMBER 31, 1935 To: His Excellency, The Governor of North Carolina and Com-mander- in-Chief North Carolina National Guard, Raleigh, North Carolina. Sir:—It is my pleasure to submit a report on the operations of the Adjutant General's Department and the activities' of the National Guard for the year 1935. ORGANIZATION AND STRENGTH The Guard being organized along the same lines as the Regular Army, the War Department allots to each state, and authorizes the organization of the specific units to be organized. There are 58 units and a maximum strength in personnel of 275 officers ; 5 Warrant officers (band leaders) and 3220 enlisted men ; total 3500. Branches of service represented are Engineers, Field Artillery, Coast Artillery, Cavalry, Infantry, Medical and Signal Corps. The strength of the Guard fluctuates between about 3300 and 3500. The strength as of December 31, 1935, is 258 officers; 5 warrant officers ; 3083 enlisted men ; total 3346. DISBANDMENT AND REORGANIZATION There have been no new units organized within the year though the following Detachments were disbanded and reorganized at other stations: Inspectors Section, 30th Division, station Henderson, dis-banded and reorganized at Durham (General Orders No. 21, October 1, 1935). Medical Dept. Detachment, 3rd Squadron, 10 9th Cavalry, station Lincolnton, disbanded and reorganized at Asheville (General Orders No. 12, May 15, 1935 and General Orders No. 13, May 16, 1935). Report of The Adjutant General 9 aid to civil authorities The only call upon the troops for special duty during the year was orders issued Company C, 120th Infantry, at Henderson, in the effort to avoid the lynching of a negro. (Special Orders No. 242, July 30, 1935) . Within about ten minutes after the Governor had advised me of the situation and directed troops be ordered in aid to the civil authorities, I directed by telephone Captain Sturges to assemble his command and report to the sheriff. It was within fifty minutes from time of receipt of this order that Captain Sturges had his men report to the Armory, get into uniforms, arrange transportation, and report with his command to the sheriff about eighteen miles from his Armory, and near Louisburg. Realizing that men of the Company were at their homes or respective places of business and had to be located and get to the armory, the dispatch and efficiency as displayed by Capt. Sturges and the promptness of the men of the Company is most gratifying and commendable. Unfortunately it seems the man had been lynched before the Governor received any infor-mation of mob violence. U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY Under authority of the War Department, a preliminary exami-nation of applicants from the enlisted personnel of the Guard was held at this office in March, 1935, and Private Julian Rea Caston, Headquarters and Service Co., 105th Engineers, Charlotte, N. C, won the Governor's recommendation to take the entrance exami-nation for the Military Academy, West Point. U. S. ARMY SERVICE SCHOOLS Through the opportunity afforded by the War Department, the following officers attended Service Schools for a period of ap-proximately three months: Captain John C. M. Vann, com-manding Battery F, Field Artilery and Captain Edward F. Griffin, commanding Battery B, Field Artillery, attended the Battery Officers' Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Second Lieutenant Jack-son Greer, Jr., Service Battery, 252nd Coast Artillery, attended the Motor Transport School at Holabird, Maryland. NATIONAL MATCHES�����(AMP PERRY, OHIO The attendance of Rifle Teams from the National Guard at the National Matches was discontinued in 1932 because of lack of Federal funds. In 1935, the opportunity being again offered, North Carolina was represented by a National Guard team and by a Civilian team, the latter team having been organized by Mr. 10 Report of The Adjutant General Hugh M. Rooney of Linville, N. C, with the assistance of the Adjutant General, N. C. CAMPS: ARMORY DRILLS AND INSPECTIONS As required under Federal laws, all organizations of the Guard attended the 15 day camp during the summer of 1935. Armory drills, or drills by units at their home station, are held weekly for not less than VA, hours duration. Each year Regular Army officers are detailed by the Federal authorities to make the annual inspection of all organizations at their respective home stations. The training in the 1935 Camps of Instruction was most grati-fying, evidencing the fact that the units generally had received careful and proper instructions in the drills at home stations. The culmination of their training at home and at camp is the Annual Inspection. This inspection covers state of training ; condition of property ; records ; and personnel. ARMORY RUILDING PROGRAM WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION On July 22, 1935, Colonel 0. K. Yeager, representing the Works Progress Administration, Washington, D. C, met The Adjutants General of Virginia, North and South Carolina at this office to lay before us plans to build armories for the National Guard. This plan had been worked up through the efforts of the officials and committees of the National Guard Association of the United States. Under the plans presented, armories to cost within a $25,000 limit may be built with federal funds as a full grant to the State. The plot on which an armory proposed to be erected was to be provided by the state or local communities. The Adjutant General, N. C, selected 47 units having inade-quate armory facilities and issued circular letters and memoran-dums to these unit commanders, giving full particulars and re-quiring that the local community provide the necessary and acceptable grounds, the title to grounds to be transferred to the State at such time as W.P.A. authority to proceed with construc-tion may be received. This Department having no funds to provide an architect to draw plans and provide proper data to the state administrator to be submitted to Washington, discussed the matter with Mr. H. C. Linthicum of Linthicum and Linthicum, Architects, Raleigh. Mr. Linthicum generously offered to work up plans and data and to do the preliminary work free of charge, and that should the armories be built, he then to have supervision and to be paid from funds allotted for the construction, and that should the program Report of The Adjutant General 11 not go through, there would be no charge for his services. This a most generous offer without which North Carolina could hardly have proceeded in an effort to take advantage of the W. P. A. plan. The Adjutant General is most grateful to Mr. Linthicum for his untiring energies and the vast amount of work he has ac-complished for us. Though much has been done by this office in an effort to push the program to completion, none of our armories have been built. Our entire program has been approved by W. P. A. authorities, the President of the United States, and the Comptroller General, but our state administrator advises that sufficient funds have not been allotted the state to enter into such construction and that there is not sufficient number of skilled labor on the state relief rolls necessary to build the armories. Every possible effort is still being put forth to accomplish the desired results. Under a dif-ferent plan, the city of Durham, which provided $20,000, is about to have approved plans to build an armory for Company D, 120th Infantry, its local organization, the W. P. A. furnishing $30,000 of federal funds. WINSTON-SALEM AND BURLINGTON The city of Winston-Salem has within the year and just re-cently, through the initiative of its officials, provided Company G, 120th Infantry, with a very handsome and adequate armory from its own funds. Such interest on the part of this community is most appreciated by this Department as well as the officers and men of the Company. Through the generosity of a number of citizens of Burlington, Company A, 120th Infantry, has been provided with a very nice and adequate armory, which act on the part of these citizens is most commendable and is appreciated. CONCLUSION The organizations of the Guard are generally energetic in their training and are in a state of fair efficiency, improving steadily. It is believed the guard of this state would stack up with all others in the field in case of any national emergency. Its discipline and training was proven in the call to duty by the Governor in 1934. The service of Regular Army officers on duty as Instructors and their non-commissioned officers as Sergeant Instructors have been of great value in the training of the entire Guard of our State. Respectfully, J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General. REPORT OF SPECIAL DUTY State of North Carolina Adjutant General's Department Raleigh January 19, 1935. Subject: Report of The Adjutant General on Special Duty of Troops, North Carolina National Guard in Textile Strike Areas, Sep-tember 1934. To: Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Commander-in-Chief, North Carolina National Guard. 1. I desire to report on the subject matter of this communication as follows: Late afternoon of September 5th, 1934, the Governor called the Adju-tant General to report to him at the Executive office, and in conference there the Governor displayed a large number of telegrams he had received from several sections of the State, advising of the serious situation caused by the Textile Strike and the movement of flying squadrons (as they were termed) of strikers. These squadrons were moving by truck and auto-mobile from place to place, closing mills which had continued operating with employeees not desirous of striking. After a close perusal of these telegrams, the Adjutant General, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Gordan Smith, Assistant Adjutant General, was in conference with the Governor at the Executive Mansion until early hours of the following morning. At this time the Governor announced his policy, to the effect that: In view of the many reports of lawlessness and the inability of the civil authorities of certain counties and municipalities to cope with the situation, the State would where considered proper and necessary, upon call of the civil authorities, place its forces to assist in maintaining law and order, and more especially to afford protection to those citizens who wanted to work and were being denied that privilege and right through intimidation and force by those of the strikers. This policy extended to the protection of strikers and other citizens whose actions and conduct was within their legal rights; this thought with reference to picketing. The Governor directed the Adjutant General to take charge of the situation and under his authority to place troops of the National Guard at such points and in such strength as he deemed necessary. Five organizations were ordered on duty by phone, from the Mansion, between 12:30 and 1:30 A.M. of the 6th; others were called during the day and from time to time as the emergency required. The organizations called, whether during the night or day time, in all cases moved with dispatch and no time was lost in the arrival at their destination. According to the necessity and conditions, transportation was by bus, truck, private automobile and railroad. TRANSPORTATION. The cost of transportation by bus or truck figures little more, if any, than would have been railroad fare. All vouchers for this transportation Report of The Adjutant General 13 have been checked against the cost of rail movements; yet, in order to meet the situations it was necessary to utilize the quickest method of transporting the troops. RATIONS. Throughout the entire time, considering the number of men and number of days on this duty, the average cost of rationing the men, covering all areas, per man per day was 45 1/£c. HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL. ATTENTION. Medical troops were ordered only to the Kings Mountain, Burlington and Gastonia-Belmont areas, where troops covered large areas. At other points local physicians were called in for any sickness or accidents to troops. The expense incurred in the service of local physicians did not, it is believed, amount to that which would have resulted had medical officers of the Guard been placed on duty. Due to a few accidents, a few enlisted men were hospitalized; the expense involved through such causes has been settled in accordance with the provisions and authority of the State Industrial Commission, which applies to National Guardsmen injured in the service of the State. Calls for State assistance came from Roanoke Rapids, Tarboro, Golds-boro, Mooresville and other places. In some places civil authorities were able to master the situation; in others, mills remained closed and no necessity for troops developed. Troops were not ordered to those places though the State was in close touch with conditions, daily. HIGHWAY PATROL. The Highway patrol, under the direction of Captain Charles D. Farmer and his able assistants rendered a most valuable service to the State and the Guard. Though the Patrol was not used to maintain law and order in the strike areas, information furnished by this organization as to the movements of Flying Squadrons was of great value to the civil authorities and the troops. At Gastonia and Belmont where mobs of from two to five thousands were reported at various times blocking highways and streets, the splendid service of patrolmen was invaluable to the troops in the performance of their duties. This applies to other areas and service rendered by the Patrol. COMMENDATIONS. The Services of Colonel Don. E. Scott, representing the Adjutant General in the field, through which the Department was kept informed as to the general conditions, and in his assistance and advice to Commanding Officers of the several areas, were most efficient. Commanding Officers of the several strike areas, generally, performed their duties with sound judgment and efficiency. Especial commendation is due Lt. Col. R. B. Lewis, 2 5 2d C. A., Cmdg. Gastonia-Belmont area; Maj. Paul R. Younts, Cmdg, Troops at Belmont; Maj. Wm. V. Copeland, 120th Infantry, Cmdg. Burlington Area; Maj. Stephen B. Dolley, 120th Infantry, Cmdg. Kings Mountain, Shelby Area; Maj. Ralph L. Lewis, Cmdg. Greensboro-High Point Area; Maj. Eugene P. Coston, Cmdg. Marion-Spindale area; and Capt. Edwin C. Boyette, Jr., Cmdg. Corcord-Kannapolis area. From throughout the State have come commendations for the officers and men 14 Report of The Adjutant General of the Guard while on this duty. The conduct of all was to be admired. The splendid discipline shown by officers and men was all that could be desired and proved the high order of military training. Officers and men kept their heads and used sound judgment under most trying circumstances. These who so served the State are extended the appreciation and thanks of the Adjutant General and merit the appreciation of the entire citizenship of North Carolina. J. Van B.

C, and were relieved from duy 9/22/34. 18 Report of The Adjutant General In the interval, Sept. 6, 1934 to Sept. 27, 1934, a total of 38 combatant units and three medical detachments were mobilized, comprising a total strength of 136 officers and 2,075 enlisted men. J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General, N. C. EXHIBIT B—RESUME' OF SITUATION—BY AREAS—UNITED TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE, 1934. MARION-SPINDALE AREA. During the Governor's conference on afternoon and night of Sept. 5, 1934, requests for aid were received from both Sheriff O. F. Adkins of McDowell County and Sheriff S. C. Moore of Rutherford County supported by requests from the mayors of Marion and Spindale, the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, and hundreds of the citizens. With the request for aid, the situation was advised as follows: There were 18 mills with approximately 6,000 employees, of which, 11 mills with 3,900 em-ployees had been closed by Flying Squadrons, with violence attending the closing of three of them. That, with the exception of one mill (partly unionized) the employees were non-union and wished to work and that great numbers of them were arming themselves and openly declaring that they were prepared to meet the next visit of the Flying Squadron and fight for their jobs. The Sheriffs advised that they were unable to get sufficient capable deputies to handle the situation because of the trouble in that vicinity during the strike of 1929. Immediately upon the Governor's decision as to policy and course of action, steps were taken to relieve the situation in this area. At 1:00 A. M., Sept. 6th, Major Eugene P. Coston, 109th Cavalry, was ordered to take command of the troops ordered to the area and report to Sheriff Adkins and Moore. Three units reported for duty that morning and Company I, 120th Infantry, reported the following morning from Wilming-ton, N. C. The troops cooperating with the civil authorities kept open the mills at Marion, preventing the threatened clash between the Flying Squadron and workers; reopened all Of the closed mills except one closed by its own employees, members of the Union; and kept 5,650 citizens from being driven from the jobs they desired to hold. In spite of the gravity of the situation, it was handled without further violence and in a manner that gained commendatory reports for officers and men from many sources. KANNAPOLIS—CONCORD AREA: While the Governor's conference was in session, telephone request for State aid was made by Sheriff Ray Hoover of Cabarrus County. Sheriff Hoover stated that he had 17 5 deputies divided between Concord and Kannapolis and was quite able to handle the situation except for Flying Squa-drons from out of the county. He called a little later and advised that there were 9 mills in the two communities employing approximately 12,000 persons (8,500 in Kannapolis, non-Union: 3,500 in Concord with from 400 to 500 members of the Union, who, of course, were striking). Report of The Adjutant General 19 He further stated that the Flying Squadron had closed two of the mills in spite of his efforts and that the situation promised violence and lawlessness where the Flying Squadrons from other sections would attempt to keep the other mills from opening in the morning . The sheriff's statements as to the gravity of the situation was supported by a number of others. At 1:00 A.M., Sept. 6th, Co. F. 120th Infantry, Charlotte, N. C, Capt. Edwin C. Boyette, commanding, was ordered to Kannapolis and the Ma-chine Gun Troop, 109th Cavalry, Statesville, N. C, Lieut. George Field, commanding, was ordered to Concord. Captain Boyette was directed to assume command of the troops in the area and to report to Sheriff Hoover for instructions. The troops, cooperating with the civil authorities, prevented further violence to citizens and property although the area was visited by numer-ous Flying Squadrons. At 2:30 P.M., Sept. 14th, a group tried to force an entrance to the Gibson Mill, Concord, N. C, but were held off by a small detachment until reinforcements arrived and quieted the disturbance. In the fray, 4 men of Machine Gun Troop, 10 9th Cavalry, were cut with knives; 3 of them were returned to duty after 1st aid and the other was confined to the hospital for a short time. Realizing that one company was isadequate to cover the wide-spread points needing protection, Battery A, 252nd Coast Artillery, was ordered to Concord and from that time until demobilization, law and order was maintained without further violence. On Sept. 17th and 18th the two mills closed by the Flying Squadrons were reopened. On Sept. 20th a truck carrying the guard relief to posts was overturned, causing serious injury to Pvt. Earl B. Overcash, Co. F, 120th Infantry, who was moved to St. Peters Hospital, Charlotte, N. C, for proper treatment. The sitiation in this area was aggravated by frequent broadcasts of Communist literature inciting riot and violence. BURLINGTON AREA. This area comprises Alamance County, contains about 40 mills em-ploying approximately 9,600 persons, 90% of whom wanted to work. Sheriff H. J. Stockard telegraphed that Flying Squadron was closing all mills, driving peaceful and willing workers out, and stated that he was unable to cope with the situation and asked aid. He followed up the telegram with telephone call urging prompt action, stating that the Flying Squadron had forced entrance to two mills, in one instance beating down the doors and driving out the workers by force. His statements were corroborated by other reliable sources so at 10:45 A.M., Sept. 6th, Com-panies A and M, 120th Infantry, were ordered to duty there with Capt. Adrian M. Carroll, the senior officer, in command of troops in the area. He was ordered to report to the sheriff to aid him in maintaining law and order. The troops very capably held the situation where it was by keeping at a pace and tour of duty that was exhausting officers and men. At 12:05 A.M.. Sept. 12th, Co. B, 120th Infantry was ordered to Burlington upon advice that the troops were nearing exhaustion and that, due to local lawless elements and Flying Squadrons from neighboring counties, the situation was getting uglier every moment. At 8:00 A.M. Major William V. Copeland was ordered to take command of troops in area. At midnight, Sept. 13th, Major Copeland advised by telephone that the situation was 20 Report of The Adjutant General very tense and that he had reliable information that the striking element would make a concerted drive on Burlington the following morning. At 12:05 A.M., Sept. 14th, the Service Co., 120th Infantry, was ordered to Burlington and reported there at 3:30 A. M. At 6:00 A.M. the entire com-mand moved to the Holt Plaid Mill, the center of all disturbances, and ordered the large crowd assembled there to disperse, warning them that they would be ejected by force unless they dispersed immediately. After a stubborn fight of two hours, the crowd was dispersed with bayonets, nightsticks, and gas. Several members of the crowd received slight bayonet wounds and others were clubbed. Three men and a woman were arrested and turned over to the sheriff. A system was then adopted of small outposts at the outlying mill villages of the county, all connected by direct wire with Headquarters in Burlington where three highly mobile patrols were stationed. This system soon broke up and drove all Flying Squadrons from the county. At 3:30 A.M., Sept. 15th, a blast of dynamite shattered about 300 window lights at the Holt Mill and several bundles of 4 sticks were found by troops and civil authorities at other mills. To combat this, barricades were placed at strategic points and all cars were searched—no dynamite was found, but numbers of persons were disarmed, the arms being turned over to civil authorities. From this time until demobilization, law and order was maintained without further violence; all mills were reopened except four, closed by strike of their own em-ployees, providing protection and employment for 7,700 workers who were not in sympathy with the strike. Many letters have been received from citizens of this area commending the conduct and military bearing of Gfficers and men. KINGS MOUNTAIN AREA. At Kings Mountain there are located eleven mills employing 1,900 people. The town is non-Union with the exception of 330 persons comprising the employees of two mills which were closed by them striking and remained closed until termination of the strike. Telegrams, asking aid, from the Chief of Police and hundreds of citizens stated that all of the mills opened the first day of the strike with full forces; that part of them were closed that morning by Flying Squadron from Shelby which returned Tuesday augmented by Flying Squadrons from Charlotte and closed the balance. Sheriff J. R. Cline of Cleveland County phoned that the citizens of Kings Mountain were demanding of him protection in going to and remaining on their jobs and that he didn't have the necessary force to protect them and needed State aid badly. At 1:00 P.M., Sept. 6th, three units and a medical detachment were ordered to Kings Mountain under command of Major Stephen B. Dolley. Major Dolley was ordered to report to Sheriff Cline to aid civil authorites as needed. The troops cooperating with civil authorities opened 8 mills on the morning of Sept. 9th. They quickly broke up a few instances of illegal picketing and dispersed a small mob without resistance, allowing approximately 1,300 employees to enter their work peacefully. The next morning the other non-Union mill opened and 250 more workers were on their jobs. Although the situation was kept tense by occasional visits of Flying Squadrons from Shelby and Gastonia, there was no further lawlessness at this point. Report of The Adjutant General 21 At Cherryville, sixteen miles from Kings Mountain, there are located seven mills employing 928 persons, all non-Union. The town was visited three different times and the employees driven from their jobs twice under assault and battery and then warned that they would be treated with violence if they returned to their work again. Sheriff Clyde Robinson of Gaston County advised that he had all he could look after in Gastonia and couldn't spare but 25 deputies to Cherryville which, together with the Cherryville police force, was inadequate to protect the citizens who were compelled to work in spite of threats. The Mayor and Chief of Police insisted that aid be given them and the sheriff asked the State for aid in protecting the citizens of Cherryville. On Sept. 12th, Major Dolley was ordered to take over Cherryville and render the necessary protection and after a visit made by him and Col. Scott that afternoon, it was decided to send over Co. E, 120th Infantry, less one platoon. At 4:30 A.M., Sept. 13th, they moved out of Kings Mountain to occupy Cherryville and at 6:00 A.M. all mills reopened under protection of troops and deputies with nearly all employees at work. There was no further disturbance at this point. Shelby, a union town fourteen miles from Kings Mountain, had all mills closed voluntarily by strike except three mills employing 4 60 persons, which were forcibly closed by strikers from other local mills. A delegation from these mills visited the Governor and Adjutant General soliciting aid as it was a financial necessity that they continue to work as they had al-ready lost more than a week and had to have money to provide food for themselves and families. Numbers of others requested aid and the sheriff asked that the military forces already in the county be ordered to take over Shelby also. Major Dolley and Col. Scott looked the situation over and Major Dolley was ordered to add Shelby and Lincolnton to his area. One platoon of Co. A, 105th Engineers, were ordered to Shelby, trans-ferring the command from Major Coston to Major Dolley. Troop I, 109th Cavalry, was ordered to Shelby from Lincolnton where it had been on duty since 6:00 P.M. Sept. 6th. (Sheriff A. F. Reinhardt of Lincoln County had kept control of the local situation but in doing so had arrested members of a Flying Squadron, which had sent for others to assist in a jail delivery. He requested State aid to prevent the delivery and aid him in upholding the law.) From this time on, Lincolnton was handled by a patrol operating out of Cherryville. Headquarters and all but one platoon of Co. K were moved from Kings Mountain to Shelby at 4:00 A.M., Sept. 17, 1934, where the Lily Mill opened at 6:00 A.M. with all employees present. The other two mills opened the 19th with all but four employees present. No further disturbance occurred in this community which is sufficient to commend the military discipline and efficiency of the officers and men ordered to this area. GREENSBORO-HIGH POINT AREA. Numbers of citizens and public officials requesting aid for this area ad-vised that there were six mills in Greensboro and vicinity employing 5,123 people; that there were 24 mills in High Point employing about 6,500. Greensboro was said to be practically non-Union while High Point was 3 5 to 40% unionized. High Point was also said to have a Socialist Head- 22 Report of The Adjutant General quarters and Communist school. Sheriff Jos. S. Phipps wired it was im-perative to order out Guard, conditions very grave. At 2:15 P.M., Sept. 6th, Major Ralph L. Lewis was ordered to take command of troops in this area and report to Sheriff Phipps. The 2nd Battalion, 252nd C.A.C., Greensboro, was ordered to duty at the same time and the two units in High Point were ordered to duty at 4:30 P.M. The troops succeeded in keeping open or reopening every mill in Greensboro, keeping the entire personnel at work for the entire tour of duty without further disturbance. In High Point they succeeded in keeping open 15 mills with 2,914 em-ployees at work and gradually opened 8 more with 1,117 employees at work. In High Point the situation was quite tense and Major Lewis thought it best to move the three Greensboro units to High Point and the two High Point units to Greensboro, which proved good strategy as the two units were able to handle the Greensboro situation, while at High Point the troops were called upon several times to disperse crowds with bayonets and gas. In each case, the crowds were being incited to riot and violence by communist and radical speakers and were already wrought up to the point that the civil authorities were unable to do anything and the troops were able to disperse them only after breaking a stubborn resist-ance with a determined advance of wedge formations with fixed bayonets. In each instance several of the mob received slight bayonet wounds. Con-ditions were such that on Sept. 16th additional troops were ordered to High Point. On Sept. 9th a carload of troops enroute from High Point to Greens-boro turned over from a tire blowout with several slightly injured, necessitating hospitalization. Having received numerous pleas for aid from citizens and civil authorities of Lexington and from Sheriff G. V. Bodenheimer of Davidson County, it was decided to send Major Lewis to Lexington to investigate. On or about Sept. 20th he went to Lexington and finding the situation as bad as stated, he recommended a detachment of troops be sent there from High Point, which was immediately done. The following morning he was invited by the head of the local Union to speak to the strikers. He ac-cepted and outlined the soldiers' duty to protect the rights of all and pre-serve the peace. His talk was enthusiastically received and from then on all violence ceased and the strikers cooperated with the soldiers in every way; on one occasion they even furnished the night guard with hot coffee and sandwiches. SAINT PAUL AREA. Sheriff P. S. Kornegay of Robeson County advised that there were three mill towns in Robeson County all of which were having trouble with Flying Squadrons: that he had 75 deputies and could handle the situation at Lumberton and Red Springs provided the State would aid him by ordering out troops to take care of St. Paul. At 3:10 P.M., Sept. 6th, Capt. Francis E. Wishart, commanding Battery B, 252nd C.A.C., was ordered out and Capt. Wishart was ordered to report to Sheriff Kornegay for duty. The unit proceeded to St. Pauls where there are three mills em-ploying 562 persons, which had been closed by Flying Squadrons. They reopened all mills with 48 2 employees back at their jobs and preserved peace and order throughout the tour of duty. On the night of Sept. 13th Report of The Adjutant General 23 Sheriff Kornegay phoned for assistance at Red Springs and this unit within thirty minutes had two officers and 24 men report to him. This unit was held ready to respond instantly to any calls from Sheriff Kornegay for assistance at the other two points. Numerous letters have been received commending the bearing and conduct of the officers and men. FAYETTEVILLE AREA. Sheriff N. H. McGeachy of Cumberland County advised that in the vicinity of Fayetteville there were two mills employing 5 50 persons closed by strike of Union employees and four mills employing 875 persons, 100% against the strike. He advised that these four were closed by local strikers aided by Flying Squadrons from outside and that violence had been pre-vented by the management closing to prevent a clash between the mob and workers who were willing to fight for their jobs. He stated that those who wished to work were getting in an ugly mood towards outside inter-ference and that he expected a disastrous clash at any moment unless the State would give him aid. At 4:00 P.M., Sept. 6th, Co. L, 120th Infantry, was ordered to report to the sheriff at Fayetteville. The company aiding civil authorities reopened the four mills with 835 employees back on their jobs. Although repeatedly requested, the troops would not interfere at the Puritan Mills because it was understood that only a minoritiy of em-ployees were non-Union and wanted to work. However, at 1:30 A.M., Sept. 15th, dynamite was exploded on the mill property in an effort to blow up the transformers, so the military took over the protection of this mill, which opened immediately with 325 of its 400 employees reporting for work. At 11:00 P.M., Sept. 15th, a sentry fired shots in an effort to appre-hend a man thought trying to blow up the transformers and at 12:00 P. M., Sept. 17th, civilian officers fired shots at men apparently attempting to blow up the dam of the reservoir. No one was hurt. COOLEEMEE AREA. Sheriff C. C. Smoot of Davie County advised that the Erwin Mill em-ploying 1265 non-Union workers had been closed by a very threatening and intimidating crowd from foreign sections; that he was doing all in his power to handle the situation at the time but that he would have to have aid to protect the workers when the mill reopened in the morning. At 5:00 P.M., Sept. 6th, Co. C, 105th Engrs., Capt. Cole commanding, was ordered to report to the sheriff at Cooleemee. The troops cooperating with the sheriff and deputies, reopened the mill with 70% of its em-ployees reporting for work, and 100% normal by Sept. 11th. The troops halted and turned away several Flying Squadrons and kept a close eye on several Communist visitors; restricting their activities to distribution of Communist literature. No doubt the presence of troops prevented vio-lence at this point. REIDSVILLE AREA. Sheriff L. M. Sheffield of Rockingham County advised at first that he had deputies and could handle the situation although the Governor and this office had received requests for aid from the mayor and several citizens of Reidsville. He advised that there were 13 mills in the county employing approximately 5,000 non-Union workers who wanted to work. 24 Report of The Adjutant General He telephoned later that the Flying Squadrons were making his job more difficult than expected and requested that the Reidsville unit be ordered out to take care of the situation there and subject to his call if assistance were needed at Leaksville-Spray, where the bulk of the mills were located. At 9:35 P.M., Sept. 6th, the Reidsville unit was ordered to duty; its presence permitted the reopening of the closed mills with employees on the job 100% and no doubt rendered considerable aid to Sheriff Sheffield as it discouraged further visits of Flying Squadrons from other counties. KINSTOX AREA. Numerous requests for aid came from the Mayor and citizens of Kinston and Sheriff Churchill of Lenoir County. They advised that the one mill there employed 3 50 non-Union people, all wanting to work. They advised that it was being operated by a city bond issue to prevent these people being subjects of charity. The sheriff was advised to handle the situation himself but he called later and stated that he had made 50 deputies but was sure there would be trouble when they were faced by a Flying Squad-ron as they were inexperienced and poorly armed. At 10:30 P.M., Sept. 6th, the Service Battery, 113th F. A., was ordered to duty and relieved as soon as the strikers abandoned the Flying Squadron tactics. WINSTON-SALEM AREA. In Winston-Salem and vicinity were 13 mills employing approximately 5,000 persons partly Unionized with 7 5 to 85% wishing to work. The mills were kept open the first week of trouble by the sheriff and his 60 deputies but on Sunday, Sept. 8th, the Mayor, Chief of Police, and Sheriff Transcou Scott requested by telephone that aid be given them to handle the situation Monday as the Flying Squadrons and crowds were daily getting larger and more difficult to handle. At 11:00 A.M., Sept. 9, Co. G, 120th Infantry, was ordered to duty. They took their post at the schoolhouse with trucks to move them to any point upon call. Al-though they were never called. Sheriff Scott and Chief Wooten made firm statements that it was the knowledge of their presence and readiness for immediate action that kept the crowds submissive to the civil authorities. At 11:22 P.M., Sept. 13th, a detachment of two officers and 39 men were ordered to High Point as a reinforcement and relief for the troops on duty there. They immediately went on duty, remaining until 10:30 P.M., Sept. 14th, thus affording a much needed rest to the troops stationed in the very active area of High Point. This unit was ordered to demobilize Sept. 18th but to hold itself ready to take the field at a moment's notice. CENTRAL FALLS AREA. A delegation of Sheriff C. E. King of Randolph County and others saw the Governor on Sept. 9th stating the condition in their county. The Sheriff called for aid on the 10th and on the 11th advised that Flying Squadrons had repeatedly closed the mill at Central Falls, employing 450 non-Union workers who were 100% for working and would go back each time the Squadron left. He stated that this was causing the situation to take on an ugly aspect and that troops would be necessary to handle the direct threat of outside force as he was unable to cope with the situation with the forces at his command. At 10:00 A.M., Sept. 11th, the Asheboro Report of The Adjutant General 25 unit, Lt. Cox commanding, was ordered to report to the sheriff at Central Falls. They arrived in the midst of a tense situation but soon had things under control and. kept them so until demobilized. GASTOMA-BELMOXT AREA. Realizing that Gastonia workers were nearly all Union members and in sympathy with the strike, the Adjutant General, following the Governor's policy, refused to send troops there although repeated requests were made from several sources, including the sheriff. A delegation of employees from the Hanover Mill and a similar delegation from the Loray Mill con-ferred with the Governor and the Adjutant General; the Loray delegation presenting a petition signed by 802 of its 860 employees petitioning the Governor to protect them at their jobs from which they had been driven with violence. The case presented was that the average length of em-ployment of the present employees was 17 years; that there was satis-factory cooperation between mill and employees; that they were non-union and had no reason to be; and that they could expect no financial aid from anyone and unless the State would protect their jobs they and their families would become wards of charity rather than self-supporting, self-respecting citizens. As the two mills were in the same vicinity and advice was received that they were considering a desperate effort to open although advised by Mayor Denney of Gastonia that he had only 30 deputies and 32 police available for protection; it was decided to send troops to try to prevent the threatened violence and disorder. At 1:30 P.M., Lt. Col. Robert B. Lewis, 252nd C.A.C., was ordered to report to Sheriff Clyde Robinson at Gastonia and assume command of the three units ordered to that area. These units opened the Loray and Hanover mills with 1,115 employees at work and maintained peace and order in that vicinity, allowing the Union to carry out a system of legal picketing, that didn't interfere with rights of anyone. At 9:30 P. M., Sept. 15th, Col. Lewis made a complete report of the situation to the Governor and requested Highway Patrolmen to assist in handling traffic Sunday and part of Monday; Lt. Fisher of the State High-way Patrol reported at 9:15 A.M., Sept. 16th, with 23 patrolmen and rendered invaluable assistance throughout the tour of duty. Col. Lewis advised General Metts on morning of Sept. 15th that the authorities of Belmont were repeatedly requesting protection for the workers of the Hatch Hosiery Mill which would open Monday as its employees were said to be non-Union. That same day four more units were ordered to Gastonia for Col. Lewis to use in Gastonia or Belmont as needed. The following day, Sept. 16th, the Medical Detachment, 10 9th Cavalry, was ordered there and Major Paul Younts ordered to report to Col. Lewis as executive officer. On Sept. 16th Col. Lewis ordered Co. B, 105th Engrs., Co. C, 120th Inf., and 1st Bn. Hdqrs. Co., 120th Inf. to the Belmont area under com-mand of Major Younts with orders to operate from a base established at the Hatch Hosiery Mill. After reaching this base, it was heard that the Federal Administration had withdrawn the Blue Eagle from the Hatch Mill but was understood to have been returned. Upon investigation, it was learned that the Blue Eagle had not been reinstated, therefore, in ac-cordance with the Governor's policy, it was advised that the troops would 26 Report of The Adjutant General not assist the opening of the Hatch Mill so the management decided not to open. By this time, Monday morning, Sept. 17th, the situation in Bel-mont was becoming critical as the textile workers of Gastonia were en-deavoring to force a walkout of the hosiery mill employees by acts of law-less violence and intimidation, so the troops were moved to the Belmont Hosiery Mill and Knit Products Mill. The situation in Belmont became worse every moment until by afternoon of Sept. 18th there was a mob of four to five thousand men and women in front of the Knit Products Mill. The mob began stopping automobiles and turning them back, in some in-stances damaging them while doing so; they stopped the sheriff's car, damaging it considerably, and were dragging him from the car when rescued by soldiers. Upon receipt of this report and reports of other acts of violence to workers at points the soldiers were unable to cover, two more units were ordered to Belmont. At 9:20 P.M. two officers and six squads were dispatched from Gastonia to Belmont where a mob of approx-imately 2,000 persons gathered at the Knit Products Mill, began rocking the mill and upon someone in the crowd firing a pistol at one of the sentinels, orders were given to disperse the crowd with bayonets. In the action that followed two persons were sent to the hospital from bayonet wounds, one Ernest Riley, dying from loss of blood. The following morning the other two companies arrived, and although tense, the situa-tion was under control and kept so until the termination of the strike, opening more mills daily until mills representing 70% of the spindles of Gaston County were in operation. The discipline, courage, and level-headedness of officers and men under this trying situation have been commended from many sources and are a credit to the National Guard of the State of North Carolina. ALBEMARLE AREA. At 6:00 P.M., Sept. 12th, Sheriff T. F. Crisco of Stanley County phoned, stating that there were four mills in Albemarle employing 3,038 people with only 22 Union members; that Flying Squadrons had made several attempts to close them, but had been prevented by him and deputies; that the Squadrons were promising to return in the morning with sufficient strength to close the mills and as there was a private move on to handle the situation, he was afraid he would not be able to handle the situation and wished the troops called out. He called again and wired for aid the following day, so at 1:45 P.M., Sept. 13th, two units were ordered to Albemarle under command of Capt. John C. M. Vann, the senior officer. The troops arrived amid a tense situation but quickly established head-quarters and outposts and had the situation under control without further disturbance except few threats and jeers which were passed up. ROANOKE RAPIDS AREA. Although troops were not ordered to this area, it is mentioned because of the conditions surrounding it. Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids ajoin each and is practically one community. In Roanoke Rapids were three mills employing about 2,550 Union employees, closed by strike of these employees. In Rosemary, the Rosemary Manufacturing Company, em-ploying about 900 persons, with about 50% organized into a company Union which together with non-Union employees totaling 90% all em- Report of The Adjutant General 27 ployees wanted to work. This mill has a custom of closing the last two weeks in August for a vacation of all employees and as at Sept. 1st the strikers didn't permit this mill to reopen, the employees were in a desperate financial situation. Sheriff G. H. Johnson, delegation of employees and others visited the Governor and Adjutant General requesting aid. This aid had to be refused as the situation would demand a number of troops which, of course, had to be held in reserve for emergencies that might occur at points where the State had already accepted the issue. This was regretted very much as Roanoke Rapids was known to be the source of trouble at Tarboro, Goldsboro, and in fact, practically all of eastern North Carolina. J. Van B. Metts, The Adjutant General, N. C. COMPANY "C" 120TH INFANTRY—N.C.N. G. Henderson, N. C, July 30, 1935 Subject: Report of Special Duty. To: The Adjutant General, Raleigh, N. C. 1. Complying with telephone conversation at 12:40 P.M., July 30th, 1935, and confirmed with special orders No. 242 AGNC, July 30, 1935, this Company mobilized at its armory in Henderson. 2. Captain Sturges reported to the Sheriff of Franklin County by tele-phone advising that the company was moving out immediately to render what assistance it could in helping him and his deputies to preserve the law and order of the State. 3. Captain Sturges reported in person to the Sheriff's Office of Vance County and was advised that the Sheriff was in Franklin County near the scene of the crime committed earlier in the day, where one negro, Ward, murdered a Mr. Stokes. 4. Due to the urgency of the situation Captain Sturges and 1st. Lt. Gilbert M. O'Neil left at 1:10 P.M. with 30 enlisted men in privately owned cars for Louisburg, N. C. to report for duty to the Sheriff of Frank-lin County. 2nd Lt. George D. Williams remained at the armory with 10 enlisted men and instructions to hold the members coming in after our departure in readiness to move out immediately on telephone orders from Captain Sturges. 5. The detail moving out at 1:10 P.M. consisted of one completely organized mobile gas squad and 22 men armed with rifles calibre .30 and rifles calibre .30 automatic and a sufficient supply of gas and ammunition. This detail located and reported to Sheriff Moore and County Attorney Charles Green of Franklin County on Highway 39, about two miles north-west of Louisburg, N .C. Sheriff Moore advised at 1:30 P.M. that he had been unable to locate the mob that had taken the prisoner from him. He suggested that we send a detachment back to Stokes home place in the Epsom Community to see if they could locate the mob. He further sug-gested that Captain Sturges and a detachment accompany him and County 28 Report of The Adjutant General Attorney Green to the Cedar Rock district which is located on the Nash-ville highway about eight miles due east of Louisburg. He further stated that it was in this section that the mob took his prisoner and thought it wise to go there and look the situation over. 6. Complying with the Sheriff's instructions Captain Sturges sent to the Stokes home place a detachment under the command of 1st. Lt. Gilbert M. O'Neil. Upon arrival of this detachment at the Stokes home place Lt. O'Neil was informed that the negro had been lynched and was hanging to a tree about a mile and a half from the home place. Leaving a guard at the Stokes home place this detachment proceeded to the scene of the lynching and aided the authorities in controlling the crowd gathered, which consisted for the most part of curiosity seekers. 7. As soon as Lt. O'Neil and his detachment started for the above mentioned Stokes place Captain Sturges and his detachment started for the Cedar Rock district at about 1:35 P.M. Approximately 300 yards down the highway the Sheriff overtook Captain Sturges and informed him that he had information from reliable sources that the said prisoner Ward had been killed. Captain Sturges continued immediately to the Franklin County Court House, situated in Louisburg, N. C, and at 1:45 P.M. put in a long distance call from the Sheriff's Office to the Adjutant General in Raleigh, N. C. Captain Sturges talked with the Adjutant General at ap-proximately 2:00 P.M. The delay in completing this call was due to the fact that the Adjutant General was at lunch. Captain Sturges advised the Adjutant General of his conversation with the Sheriff in which the Sheriff stated that the prisoner had been lynched and he further advised the Adjutant General that the situation was quiet and no further trouble was anticipated. The Adjutant General advised Captain Sturges to assemble his command and return to its Home Station and dismiss the men. 8. Upon arrival at Home Station the command was dismissed at 3:30 P.M. 9. The actual elapsed time between the first phone call from the Adju-tant General and reporting to the Sheriff of Franklin County two miles northwest of Louisburg on Highway 3 9 was 50 minutes. The actual elapsed time between the first phone call from the Adjutant General and Captain Sturges' phone call from the Sheriff's Office in Louisburg, N. C. a distance of twenty miles, was one hour and five minutes. Respectfully submitted, Conrad B. Sturges, Capt. 120th Inf., Comd'g Co. C. REPORT OF U. S. PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER 1933 State of North Carolina Office of U. S. PROPERTY AM) Disbursing Officer Raleigh June 30, 1933. Subject: Annual Report. To: The Adjutant General of North Carolina, Raleigh, N. C. 1. Report of the U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer for the period July 1, 1932 to June 30, 1933, is hereby submitted. ACTIVITIES The office has functioned in accordance with federal and State laws and regulations during the period covered by this report. FEDERAL PROPERTY The state of equipment of the National Guard continues to be excellent. There has been no difficulty in obtaining from the federal government all needed supplies and similarly, unserviceable property has ben disposed of as prescribed in regulations. This year has been one of the most active in recent years and the following is of interest: Number of requisitions handled for supply 718 Number of Reports of Survey handled 151 Number of I & I reports handled 222 OLD SHORTAGES Efforts have ben continued to remove shortages of former commanding officers. These shortages occurred over a period of ten years and came about on account of a lack of realization on the part of responsible officers to proper realize their responsibility, lack of training in the care of prop-erty and failure to adjust shortages as they occurred. Nineteen officers had a shortage of $20,270.46 and during the year this office prepared reports of survey for the entire shortage. The reports of survey were approved by the War Department and complete relief granted by a refund of $4,760.20 which was paid by the company who wrote the individual bonds of the officers. The reports of survey relieved the State from liability and the bonding company saved exactly $15,510.24. At the present time shortages are negligible and under the physical inventory system, recommended by this office in 19 26 and renewed in 1928, shortages of any consequence should be entirely eliminated in the future. FEDERAL FUNDS The number of vouchers handled during the year was 1087. Sus-pensions of vouchers by the General Accounting Office have been re-markably small and this office has a splendid record in this respect. The usual inspections were made by officers of the Inspector General's Depart-ment and no unfavorable comments were made. Funds expended were as follows: 30 Report of The Adjutant General Receipts Balance on hand July 1, 1932 $ 2,114.62 War Warrants 184,324.67 $186,439.29 Disbursements Expenses, Camps of Instruction $124,484.48 Compensation, care takers and mechanics 32,308.25 U.

Obviously, this could not have been possible without cooperation on the part of the various responsible officers with whom this office has to deal. Responsible officers give prompt and efficient attention to administrative matters and, with few exceptions, their rating would be excellent. This cooperation and the fine assistance rendered by the National Guard Bureau and its personnel is appreciated and has made it possible for this office to obtain a repu-tation for general efficiency.

During the period of State Service in 1934 when practically all units were on duty for from one to eight weeks, it is a fact that no deficiencies in equipment were noted.
