Will Remove Troops
From Albemarle Today
Raleigh, Sept. 17—Unless there are further developments in
Albemarle to justify the presence of troops there, the three companies of North
Carolina Reserve Militia will entrain for their home stations as soon as after
noon today as practicable, according to orders issued by Adjutant General
Royster after conference with Captain Dermot Shemwell, military commander, and
the civil authorities yesterday afternoon.
The situation was so peaceable in Albemarle yesterday afternoon,
according to advices here, that the mayor had taken a trip to the country. He
returned and later was in communication with Adjutant General Royster, who out
of an abundance of precaution, in view of the trial of the men now in jail
scheduled for this morning, allowed the troops to remain until noon.
