REPORT.
TATE OF' GEORGIA; ADJUTA~T-GE ERAL' OFFICE,
A'.rLA~'l'A, September 30, 1895.
To Hi' E'Vcellency, Wm. 17: Atkin on, Gove1'nOl' of GeOl'gia:
SJR:-I have the honor to submit the following report of thi department for the year ending eptember 30, 1895 :
ORGANIZATION.
nder the ~y tem of. organization poken of in my report of la t year, the !UO t favorable progress has been made in the development and di cipline of the military forces of the tate, and the wi dom of the reorganization act of 1893 has been fully proven by the test of time. But few hanges have occurred duril}p the year.
NEW ORGA "IZATIONS.
company bf Naval Reserve Artillery ha been organized at Brunswick. They are fully uniformed, well drilled and di ciplined, but only partially equipped, owing to the 'mall amount of fund. allotted by the General Government to this tate for naval militia pm'po c. Thi company i composed of four (4) offi el and' ixty-two (62) men, many of whom have a practical knowledge of naval matter, and, with proper aid fl'ol11 the authoritie , will form a yaluable adjunct to t.he laud force of the tate. During the month of July practical in truction was given this COI11Oland for a period of three day aboard the nited State monitor Amphitrite, in the harbor of Brun wick. The officers of the ship ga,'e all the instruction possible, but it

is to be regretted that the time wa '0 limited. It is hoped that the Geneml Government will provide one of the monitor not in commi ion for the permanent u e of the "Naval Reserve of the tate.
.A. ignal COI'P ha' gee~ o~ga..dized in Atlanta and attache l to the Fifth Regiment of Infantry; and while not well equipped, a small amonnt of ignal eqnipment has been purcha ed and i. ued to them ufficient for ordinary flag ignalli ng.
ignal property cannot be obtained fl'om th War Department, and a th limited milital'y appropriation by the 'tate wi II not admi t of its pUl'cha 'e, the ignal corp for each regiment provided for in the act of 1 93 conld not be equipped, and con equently have not been formed.
Th formation and propel' equipment of a Hospital and Ambnlan e Corp i retal'decl for the 'ame I'eason, thou h ome progre ha, been made in thi direction; and dnring the last encampment at Griffin the mall numbcI' of thi COI'P rendered valuable aid. Tbe impol'tance of a well intructed and well equipped Ho. pital Corp a a part of the organization of the 'tate force' cannot be overestimated. Thi matter i aiven the gr ate I, prominen e in all arlllie of the pre ent day, and aloin the national guard of the 000 t progl'e ive tate. All that i needed al'e fund fOl' it equipment; law for its organizatiou and l'lIles and regulation for it government and trainin a are already in exi'tence.
A company of infantry ha been organiz d in Atlanta and a igned to the Fifth Regiment. Thi' regiment ha' now a Machine-gun Platoon aud ianal Corp, making its organization complete, with the exception of two companie yet to be added.
It being impo ible to pl'operly provide for the present force ont of the limited appl'opl'iation made by the Geoeral and tate Government., I would ugge I, the propriety uf Ol'gaoizing no mOI'e command until those now in ,ervice are fully armed aDd equipped.

TATE AMPS.
In pursua~ce of plan adopted previou Iy, made nece sal'y by rea on of the insufficiency of the tate appropl'iation for 1 95-6, only tho e command of the Georgia Volunteer not in attendance in 1 94 were placed in camp thi year at the tate' expen e; the infantry and artillery at Camp Jorthen, near Griffin, a~d the cavalry at M Idl'im, near avannah. The lack of funds not permitting the concentration of the cavalry, mounted, at amp NOlthen, it wa~ made po ible to do 0 at Meldrim only through the liberality and generous public pirit of Major P. W. Meldrim, who at great expen e con tructed the nece 'ary me hall., kit hen , bath-hou~e ,and . table, and turned them over to the cavalry free of charge.
The troop. on duty, the daily trength pre ent, and the work done and the re ults accompli hed are fully commented on by the In pecting Officer and the po t com mandel' , and to their report. Ire pectfully invite attention. The ummary of the l'er or how mo t I ractical and b neficial re ult. For information as to expen e incnrred attention i invited to reports of the Quarterma ter-General and the Post Quadelmaster.
It i hoped that the next General A embly may e~ proper to increa e the annual appropriation to an amount ufficient to place all command in camp annually.
FIELD, OR RIOT, DUTY.
During the paet year the troop of this tate have been called out on four cases of emergencie .
1. On December 17, 1894, under order of the Governor directing Captain H. G. Everett,commanding Kell Rifle, Co. G, 1 t Regiment of Infantry, of tate boro, to co-operate with the sheriff in protecting a prisoner from mob violence. Upon receipt of order, Captain Everett summoned twenty-five men, cliartered an engine and a coach, proceeded to the point where pri oner' wa held, demanded and obtained his surrender, and turned him over to the sheriff,

7
who confined him in jail. Time con umed, two and onehalf hour; co t to tate, $30.92.
2. On Deeember 24, 1894, undel' direct orders from the Govemor to repolt to the heriff of Brook county, Captain L. W. Caffey, commanding Valdo ta Videttes, Co. B, 4th 'Regiment, Infantry, tationed at Valdo ta, a 'embled hi command, twenty-eight ,tl'ong, and proceeded by rail to Quitman, near the cene of trouble, and there reported to the heriff. Finding all quiet and peaceable and no one de irou of mili tary pl'otection, he returned, undel' order of the heriff, to Valdo ta by next train, on the 25th in t.
3. On D cember 2 , 1 94, under order from the heriff, acting with authority from the Governor, Major Burke hewmake, commanding 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment of Infautl'y, at Augu ta, a sembled a force of forty-five trong and held ame in readine to protect jail. and pri oner confined therein charged with murder.
4. On the night of February 26, 1895, at avannah, the militm'y force. tationed thel'eat a embled at their eveml armol'ie in re pon e to a military ignal given on fire-alarm bell, and, under orders from the mayol', proceeded to Ma onic Temple hall, where a riotous mob had cOllgregated with threat of injury to an ex-prie t of the Roman Catholic Chlll'ch, who was lecturing therein. Under command of Colonel Geo. A. Mercel', of 1 t Regiment of Infantry, and W. W. Gordon, 1st Regiment of Cavalry, the mob was soon di pel' ed without seriou injury to anyone.
The prompt and efficient manner in which the troop reported and acted in the di charge of thi duty deserves commendation, a their presence surely aved the State from a di. graceful riot which the police were powerless to pre-
vent. It i a fact worthy of notice that one battalion wa
on the ground in fifteen minutes from ounding of the alarm, and all under arms within thirty to forty-five minute, including the colored troops.
For further information, attention invited to the report of the several commander.

TARGET PRAG'TICE.
The organization of tbe Department of Rifle Practice ha been completed ince my report of la t year, an In pector-General and an In. pector for eacb regiment and lIna signed battalion having been duly appointed and commisioned. Mo t favorable progre ha been mane iu rifle firing, and the number of barp booter , mark. men, and fir t-cla men greatly exceed tho of former year. There ha been mncb intere t manife ted througbout the volunteers of the tate in this mo t important part of a oldier" training, and th i ha been further timulated by the succe of the team from avannah at ea Girt, ew Jer ey, where, in competition with the be t team from all part or the United
tate, they made a mo t remarkable record, winning the champion hip for Georgia. The intere ting report of the captain of the team i appended to the report of the Inpector-General of Rifle Practice.
An excellent target range has been cOllstrncted recently at Savannah, at gl'eat expen e by the voluntary contribution of member of the Georgia Volunteers, which is one of the most complete range in the nited tate and thoroughly adapted to it purp e. A it i for the u e of the forces of the tate, I trongly recommend that an appropripriation from the military fund of at least four hundred dollar ( 400.00) be allotted for the purpo e of di charging unpaid iudebtedne for it. completion. Tho e intere ted have coutributed libel'ally for this purpo e, and it i right and just that the State aid a much a the military fund will allow.
EXAMINATIOK UF OFFICER.
The wi dom of the law requiring officer to pa a phy ical, moral, and mental examination before being commi ioned is evidenced by the increased efficiency of the commis ioned 'force of the tate and much credit i due the . ever?!l examining board, and e pecially the recorders thereof, for the intellige~t and laboriou ervice rendered.

- -- - - - - ------~~-_._----

9

A' the laborer is w<Jrthy of hi hire, I would recommend

the repeal of the law preventing compensation to examin-

ing boards, and suggest that mall allowance be made to

tho e officers who erve a recorder of boards, a compen-

sation for the gl'eat amount of clerical work involved,

ince my last report regulations have been issued in book

form to the troop, and they are included in the cope of

examination for all officer. It is intended to issue in con-

venient book fOl'm the military laws of the tate, so soon

a they hall have b en revi ed, in order that an officer may

know his legal re ponsibilitie and have the law at hand for

l'efel'ence when occa ion demands.

.

ARM, EQUIPME 'l', NIFORMS.
There has been no change made in the equipment of the troops ince my last report, to which your attention i invited, with the exception that rubber ponchos have been i 'sued to several commands.
The troop are still in no condition to take the field, owing to lack of overcoats and blankets. These should be fUl'lli hed by the tate, a al 0 hould be the uniforms which they now pay forj and I lIl'gently recommend that the next General A' embly be asked to make a special appropriation for an amount sufficient at least to purcha, e ovel'co~ts and blanket, if not uniforms, for the troops now in ervice.

ADMINI 'l'RA'l'IO

AND WORK 11' ADJU'l'AN'l'-GEKERAL' OFFICE.

I am plea ed to report improvement in methods of administration of the several commands which have been made . ince the i sllance of the book of rules and regulation for govel'llment of fOl'ces,
The e improvements, so necessary to a well organized force, entail, as might be expected, more work on the part of thi office, and I am again compelled to renew my recommendation for a clerk for the Adjutant-General's Depart-

10
meat. If the State expect tbe records and bnsiness of thi office to be conducted on a par with that of other department , it will certainly be. itate no longer to authorize the aSRistance desired.
GE~ERAL REMARKS.
1st Lieutenant John M. Jenkins, 9th U. S. Cavalry, was detailed by the War Department for duty at the cavalry encampment. I desire to acknowledge the valuable, efficient ervices rendered by him to tbe tate while on this duty.
'J caunot clo e thi report without making some ackno..yledgment of the great service reudel'ed this tate by Lieutenant Cha.. B. attedee, 3d U. . Al,tillery, who bas recently returned to hi regimen t, after a tour of four years detached duty witb the troops of thi tate. To this officer, who ha devoted heart and hand, almost his entire time for the past foUl' yeal's, to the upbuilding of her volunteel force to the present standard of efficiency, the State is indebted more than I can expre s; and he takes with him to his new station the cousciou 'ness of duty done, and the best wi he. and friendship of every officer and enlisted man of the Georgia Volunteers.
Re pectfully submitted, J NO. McINTOSH KELL, Adjutant-General.

From the above it is seen tbat tbe strength of the camp was well kept up to the end, tbe difference between tbe ma~imum and average attendance being very sligbt. The 3d Infantry sbows the greatest attendance, and this, notwitbstl\nding tbe fact that one entire company, Company "I," stationed
at Dalton, did not attend Camp. Tbe attendance of the companies of this re/ziment that were in camp was 81 per cent.
The lar~est company present was Company "E," ]st Infantry, avannah
Cadets, WIth an aggreaate of sixty.

GUARD DUTY.
'Vhile Illany men who were placed on guard were at first unacquainted with tbis duty, yet the majority of sentinels recognized the dignity of tbeir position, and when correctly instructed, carried it out well. To properly instruct new men wbo are on guard for the first time, and wbo may not go on guard hut once during tbe encampment, require unremitting attention from the Officer of the Day, and tbe officers and non-commissioned officers of the guard. Many of these officers and noncommissioned officers were on this
duty for the first time, and required instruction tbemselves, but so far a r
remember, all went at it in an active, intelligent manner, and, without COIlidering errors due to want of practice, guard duty was well and faithfully performed. There were very few occasions where sentinels permit~d an~r trifling or breaches of discipline on their posts. The ceremony at Guard Mounting at the beginnin" of the encampment, particularly during during the /irst week, was crudely performed and many errors were noticed. This was especially true witb the way the 1st 'ergeants brou"ht their detail on tbe line, and tbeir manner of formin" them on reaching the line. This was in a measure due to lack of practice, but mainly from an unfamiliarity with tbe tactics which can hardly be excused, as a few minutes' preparation before coming out to uard Mount would have done away witb the majority of tbese mi takes. Correction of tbese errors were made from day to day and at the latter part of tbe tour were not observed. entinel frequently did not observe tbe requirement as to a military manner of patrolling tbeir posts and carryin a tbeir pie es, or in tbe saluting of officers, bnt this, I believe, in all cases, was due to lack of knowledge of what was required, and wben attention was direded to it tbe fault were corrected.
DRII,LS AND CERE)!ONIE
Drills were onfine 1 principally to tbe school of the company and 1attalion, nn I were generally very creditable. ompany drill, after tbe fil t day'.' work, were particularly well executed, and con pany ofllcer were energ tic and active in making the mo t of the limited time. Formations of the battalion and regiment were low at the beginning, but thp,re was constant improvement to the end of tbe camp. Facility in these movements orne from practice, and with 'ome regiment, a tbe 3d Infantry, the only opportuuity for thi is during amp, owing to the impo ibilityof aetting companie to"ether. Very little waR done in th extended order movement. A few of the companie had some instruction in it, and one- ompany E, 1 t Infantry, avannah Cadets-is well in tructed in this important duty. I aw a drill by this company, wher the ommand were~ivenboth by whi tIl and signal, tbatwas well-nigh perfect. On another occa. Ion, in 8avannah, I witness d a line illu tration by

79
the same company of an attack movement in extended order. The importance of extended order training, I think, was jl(enerally well unde! tood, but Sl much had to be crowded into the limited time, that but little attention could be devoted to it. Dres parades were held every day, and were always creditable, but much improvement in the execution of the manual of arms was oberved towards the end of the tour.
The command during the fir t week, compo ed of the 6th and 3d Regiments of Infantry, was reviewed by His Excellency Govern r W. Y. Atkinson, th formation being brigade in line of masses. The appearance of the troops. and their marching in review, was most favorably commented on by the Governor, as well as by others who were present.
CAVAf,RY EN A)!J'liEN'l'.
The duties in thi camp were as follow : Reveille at-! a. m., followed by morning stables, an early morning dismounted drill in the scbool of the soldier, guard mount. a drill in the. chool of the troop and quadron Is ting two or more hour, and officers' meetin~ for one hour closed the work of the morning. In the afternoon, a drill, review and m unted dre s parade. After the parade the troopers. or many of them, at lea t, exercised in the scbool of the trooper, runninjl.' at Iiead and ring, and continuing this until dark. Target practice was held every day except Runday, and 'uard duty throughout the twentyfour hour '.
At the beginning of thi encampment the hor~e were unaccu tomed to tbe ranks and many of 1he enli ted men and orne of the oftlcers were comparatively untrained. By con tant work, which wa' cheerfully done by all, improvementwa observed from the commencement, and by the en.d of the elll'ampment tbe result wore most atisfactory. The men are g nerally 00<.1 hor emen, many of them conspicuously so, and no Lime had to be dev te I t thi trainin<T. They were in the ~addle Dve 01' ix hours every day, besides accomplishinj:! alltbe other demand of the encaml ment, and there was never a 'omplaint of too much work. At, quadron and regimental formation tbere wa a lack of promptnes. in get,ting on the line; command' and movements were frequently incol'Tect; but there wa marked improvement from beginnincr to end, and inter t wa kept up at all times. n tbe la. t drill day of the enampment, by invitation of Colonel GonIon, tbe regiment was reviewed by the in~tructor. Tbe march I a t, at a walk, trot and gallop, was accomplished with a precision anu da II tbat would have been creditable to a regiment of regular, and was in n arked coutrast to imilar movements of a few day,' befor. Horses of tIle enlisted men were ~roomed and fed by tbeir rider those of the officers u ually by servants. The site at Meldrim is well adHpted for a eavalry camp. It i Immediately on tbe railroad, witb plenty of ground favorabl for cavalry maneuvers. Major P. W. 1eldrim of tbe 1 t Cavalr')', constructed, at hi own exp n e, me shall, kitchen, stable, bath rooms and inks, anu I$ave tbe~e, with the land, for tbe lise f tb troops. It was mainly through th! generou action on bis part that a re~iment of cavalry wa. enabled to go into camp mounted. There is a good rifle ran~e at tbi camp.
Instru<:tion in guard duty at tbis encampment wa under the direction of ht Lieutenant John M. Jenkin ,~)tb' . . Cavalry, and attention is invited to bi. report on this subject.
l'Ell ONNEI. AND DJ C!PI.lNE.
'fbe per~onnel of the Georgia Volunteers is of a high order, and each or~anization mny be on. idered representativ of the be~t of all classe of it own locality.
Di dpline during the encampment was generally good. In ol11e minor detail , u,'b as saluting officers nud colors, there were lap~es noticed, but a a rule tbey were "'enerallY ob erved. The lack of prompt attendan e and formin'" in
roper dres at I' veille roll-call. was notable, especially in tbe 3d Rejriment of
Ynfantry, some companies of the 6th Infantry, and in tbe Lt Regiment of
Cavalry. Promptne_s in tbi respect was tbe rule in tbe 1st R giment of Infantry, due undoubtedly to the xample of the commissioned officer who were careful in the observance of tbi duty. Both battalion comman ler in tbis

o

regiment, MajorH Karow and Lawton, were always present and received in person the report from their Adjutants. The es entia! elem nls of di cipline
are not lacking; the desire to conform 10 all requirements when understood, <II' when attention was called to neglect, was always manifested.

'fbe Chatham Artillery and Atlanta Artillery were lIJ'med with abel's; these

were in good condition. The Atlanta Artillery broul!;bt to cam)) two 3-inch

rifle, which were kept in good conuition,

It is but fair to say that many of the rifles and carbine found to be in poor

condition were old and more diffi ult to keep in good order than newer crun .

~ry inspection, howe\'er, waa directed to the condition of cleanliness and care

that was within the power of the men to ke p them and does not refer to the

age of the gun, but men will generally give more care to a new crun than an

old one.

There are many rifles and carbines in the hands of these troops that 'bould

I.>e replaced by more serviceable one as soon ae possible,

CLOTHING AND EQ IP)IENT ,
lothing and equipments were generally in good condition; in many caee waist plates and other brasses showed no signs of having ever been polished. The condition of the e articles in Company E, I t Infantry, was excellent, and very good in Companies B, C, and D, 1st Infantry.
Horse equipment of the Cavalry were in good condition. Saddle-blankets, iiaddJe-bags, halters, lariats, currycombs, and brushes are needed to put it in
hape for field service, as well as the new 3 -caliber pistol.

THEORETICAL INSTR CTlON IN 'A.,\fJ>.
There WllS a meeting of officers for one hour each day, at which time the duties and exercise for the day were taken up and discussed, as well as other military questions tbat might arise.
The battalion commanders of the 1st Infantry usually held instrnction for their officers before goin~ out to battalion drill, and some company commanders instructed their men ID guard dnty before sending tbem to gnard mount.

THEORETICAL INSTR 'CTION AND DRILL A~D CERE1fONIES AT nOME TATIOl\.
From the quarterly retnrn it is found that theoretical instruction is given in bnt few cl)mpanies, or at lea t report of it i made by only a limited number of company commanders.
The following companie report such instrnction for the quarter ending 'eptember 30th, B, C, D, G, and E, 1st Regiment, Infantry, F and K,2d Regiment, Infantry. This embraced guard duty, camp dnty, drill regnlations and rifle firing.
Company drills in Infantry and Artillery are usually held once a week, in Cavalry mounted drill, once a month. In troop .-\, 1st Cavalry dismounte 1 drills, about one a week.
For the quarter ending, eptember 30, Company E, 1st Regiment, and Company F, 2d Regiment of Infantry. report the best system of instruction and

1

highest attendance. ompany E held five assemblage of the company eac1:b.

m nth with an average attendance of 59 officers and enli ted men. mpany

F held drills weekly during the quarter with an average attendance of 92 per

cent.

The following companies have the be t records reported for the quarter'

ending June 30th:

.

"D," 1st Regiment, Infantry, average attendance, 7 per cent.

II E," 1st Regiment, Infantry, average attendance, 7 per cent.

"F," 2d Regiment, Infantry, average attendance, 6 per cent.

"I," 2d Infantry, average attendance, 0 per cent.

The system of instruction in the fil'st three companies named is especialIy

to be commended.

The records of the 1st Battalion of Infantry show a good system of

in Ii'll ti n.

Troop A, 1st Cavalry, reports the best system of instruction and attendance

in the cavalry.

No retnrns from 3d Regiment of Infantry and 1st Battalion of avalry.

Incomplete returns from the 3d Regiment of Infantry.

RE ORD , PAPER, ET
Company morning reports and sick books were generally well kept, especially in the 1st and 6th Regiments of Infantry. In some companies of the 1 t Cavalry and 3d Infantry the propel' method of keeping these books was not well understood at the beginning of camp; at its conclusion it is believed that all were familiar with the matter.
The consolidated morning report of regiments were well kept.

POLl E AND GENERAl, 'ONDITJO~ OF A)[P.
Daily inspections were made of the encampment. The company streets, tent, kitchen", mess-hall, sinks, and bath-rooms, and the ground about them, were well policed every morning. Occa ional neglects were noticed, usualIy about the kitchens, where refuse matter was not carefully placed in the barrels prepared for it. This was quickly remedied, however, and the sanitary condition of the camp was good. In the cavalry camp the stables were cleaned evelY morning.

QUARTERMA TER'S DEP.\RT)IENT.
Tl.te affair of this department, under the able direction of the Quartermaster-General, olonel A. J. "'Vest, were administered in a bu iness-like and efficient manner. 'fhe arrangements for transportation of troops, hiring of bands, payment of per diem, and the general disbursement of funds for ex pen es of the encampment, were made by him, and nothing was left undone, so far as lay in his power, for the comfort of the troops or for the success of the encampment. His assistant, Captain Lewis H. Kenan, Assistant Quarterma tel', was Po t Quartermaster at both camps. He was charged with the duties of I' ceiving and taking care of all the camp equipage sent to the encampment, of hiring laborers, horses, and carts, the purchase of forage, repairs of building, targets, etc., the issue of tents, tools, bed sacks and camp equipage generally, the c1eanin CY up and clearing of the grounds about the camp, and at the end with packing up and shipping all of the camp property. To do all of this, it was necessary for him to go to camp several days 1U advance of the troops and to remain a(ter the encampment ended. These III uIti(ariou and oftt imes disagreeable duties were discharged by him with commendable patience and efficiency.
The duties of the Regimental Quartermaster were necessarily limited, anll con isted mainly of looking after the sliipment of the bag<>age to and from camp, of procuring the necessary tentage, tools, etc., from the Post Quartermaster, and distributing them to the companies.

COM~US ARY DEPART)IENl'.
The ystem inaugurated and carried out in the 1st Regiment of avalry and the 1 t and 6th Regiments of Infantry deserve special notice, and was suh tantially as follows:
The companies of these regiment, before goin/!: to camp, purchased, either by bid or in open market, uch supplies as were likely to be needed for their commands during the encampment, except fresh meat, chickens, vegetables, fruit and ice, which were procured as needed. 'upplies were I urchased either at home stations or near the encampment, dependin'" on where the best terms could be made, but mainly at home station.
Each comilli arye tablished a torehouse for ration, which was kept op n during certain hour for is ue. Printed requi ition bhmk were furnished, in which w re enumerated the different article of food in sto k, and eacb mornin/!; tbe different companies would make outa I'equi ition for what wa I' quir d for the lay. An account wa opened with each company, and it wa charged with what had been issued to it. The food furni hed was of the be t quality, and included bacon ham, fre h meat, chicken~, vegetable, e!?"',, hominy, flour, meal, sugar, coffee, tea, etc. The cooking wa done by nE''''ro cook two to each company.
Th methods followed in tbis department were similar to tho e in the regular service! and in addition to supplying the troop mOI'e economically than was former y done where each company independently looked after its own ub i tencc, i of value in accu toming offi ers and enlisted m n to a syst In which is ab olutely nece sary in actual servic .

and ()th Hegim nts of Infanlry, re p ctively, and Commi ary er eant Will. Hnnter, 1 t Re"'iment of Cavalry, de el'\'e commendation for lhe y temalie, economical methods put in practice by them, an 1 for the developing of this important part of the administrative system of the tate's f rce .
The 'ommis ary of the 3d Regiment of Infantry din not attend camp, and there wa no regnlar y tem of supply. The companies mana'" d their messin/l; ind pendently of each other.
RIFLE ASD CARBISE PRACTICE.
The letail of this department and the re ult obtained will be found in the report of the Inspector-General of Rifle Practice. Target practi'e at both encampments u ually continued throughout the day. The range at Camp Nortben is not well adapted to its purpo e, both on account of expo. ed ground beyond the targets in the lin o[ fire and the uneven character' of that Letwe n the firing point and the target, making it impos ible at certain POll1ts to ee the targets at all during skirmi h practice when the lying down position i assurn d. The range at Meldrim i well ituat d and is suited. to its purpo e. The ystem of firing during the first week at nmp Nortuen wa not. ati [actory. aptain :Nevin, the in pector of rifle practice of the 3d Infantry, became ill, and the mana~llmentof the practice changed hand two 01' thr e time.i.
ergeaut Fargo or the 6th Infantry rendered valuable a si tance after he was detailed for this duty.
Captaius Pustell and Nichols, in pector of rifle practice of the 1 t Cavalry and 1 t Infantry, respecti\'ely, gave undivided attention to their duties during their tour in camp, and as they are both enthu iastic riflemen, with a thorough knowledge of the theoretical and practical principles of rifle firing, the methods followed by them were beyond critici m.
~t:EDI AL DEI'ARl'~IENl'.
The tate is fortunate in haYing a medical corps composed of officers accomplished in their profession, who are thoroughly interested iu and keenly alive to the re ponsible duties of their department. n[ortunately they are much handicapped by not bein'" well provided with a proper hospital equipment. The importance o[ this is such that a special appropriation should be urged to be used exclusively for the purcha e of cots, band litters, medical chests, blankets, commodes, and such other article of ho pital property a are needed to fit up the hospitals in camp, and to be used in ca e of

3

actual ervice. pecial attention in this connection is invited to the report
of the urgeon-Geneml. Property of this description cannot be obtained
from the general government out of the api ropriation allotted to the tate. Certain repairs are urgently required to place the hospital at Camp
Xorthen in good condition,

RE OMllE 'DATlO~

1. That the tate make an appropriation sufficient for patting all of its

troops in camp for seven days every year.

Z. That a eparate appropriation b made for the purcha e of overcoats and

blankets sufficient to supply the entire force of the tate.

3. That each troop, battery and company be allowed a certain sum-oay

I"O-per ypar for armol'y rent.

4, That when public propel'ty i shipped to troops in the tate, to complete

their equipment., the freilYht on it be paid by the 'tate; the same with guns

shipped to and from arsenals for repairs.
n. That a storehouse be built at amp Northen.

6. That a competent clerk, who i a steno~rapher aud typewriter, be em-

})Ioyed for the office of the Adjutant-General.

7. That until the troop now in service are fully armed and equipped no

new ones be admitted, except where a necessity for theil' ervi'e i shown to

,. I renew the recommendation of my predece SOl', Lieutenant atterlee,

that a committee of the legislature be appointed to vi it the aunual encamp-

ment and ubmit a report of th ir observation to th General A embly.

REl[ARK
It may be generally stated that Georgia has a conservative representative body of men compo in lY her tate forces, with officers who have shown their qualifications for the position they hold by passing the examinations required by law; that a large part of these troops are well drilled and under good discipline, and all of them may be relied upon in time of need; that the tate does little for their maintainance, and the expense of keeping up the military e tablishment falls mainly upon its members, who are in the service from motives o[ patriotism and a love o[ the profession. The time Rpent in camp, where there is much work and little recreation, is u ually that allowed for vacation to the men who are in various professions and employments, and in addition to losing their vacation, their payor wages is orten stopped for the time they are absent, though I believe many of their employers are :nore liberal.
My association with the troops in camp was of the most agreeable character, and while it was necessary to give much instruction and make many correction of error~, in every ca e all sugge tions and corrections were cheerfully received and promptly complied with.

84

I suggest that application be made to the War Department for the detail of

two or three officers and enlisted men for duty at State encampment. They

can be employed to the greatest advantap;e, and is a means of forming a.

pleasant association between the regular army and the tate forces.

At the infantry encampment, where I was alone, the demands on my time

were so great that there were many things I could not look after; this was

particularly the case during the irat week, when there were two regiments in

camp, and many new officers and men among them. At the cavalry encamp-

ment, Lieutonant Jenkins, of the !lth Cavalry, was associated with me. He

was placed in charge of guard duty by olonel Gordon, and from guard mount

until late at ni~ht was unremitting in his attention to everything pertaining

to the (Iuties of guards and sentinels.

My duties have been such as to prevent me from makinO' a general inspec'

tion of the State forces. My personal knowled~e embraces only those with

whom I served in camp, with the exception that I was for a week with the 5th

Regiment of Infantry at St. imons Island, where it was encamped at the

2xpense of its members. I was an inviter! guest, and not on duty at this

time, but my observation o[ the regiment warrants me in speaking of its.

personnel and discipline in most favorable (erms.

Very respectfully,

o CAR J. BROWN,

1st Lieutenant 1st U. '. Cavalry, Acting Inspector-General.

'\vb n I began my inspection of the grounds, hou e ,etc., at Camp Torthen I found the riRe butt aud pit needin~ much repair, 0 I had theUl put in ord 1'. :\Iany of the rock pillar under the m!' hall on tbe hill to the left of
headquarter were in a tott ring conditiou, and a I de med it un afe for the troops to occupy the e me hall, I commuuicated their condition to the
Quarterma ter-Gen ral, and pro eeded at once to have them put in better bape, by trengthening and traill;htening each leaning pillar. The road in and around camp I wa enabled to put in good order, through the kindn :; of Colonel Tom ~IiI1 , chairman of the boaru of couuty commi sioners of ,paldiug county, who wa in trumental in my getting the convict

ior this purpo e. The amount of sla k lime and dirt I used daily in the ink pits la t summer
{and in fact every summer) I round had thoroull;hly decompo ed the fecal matter, so I had tbe pit reduO', and, after a thorough examinati )n, deemed it

perfectly safe to lise the same pits and same dirt, thereby aving much expense
III not having to dig new pits, whicb would have necessitated the moving of the 22 inks.
By Monday, June 10, everytbing was in order to receive the troops. I had orne trouble in getting a ufficiE'nt numbe.r of tentpin from the capitol (doubt-
IE' 'through ome mi take in shipping).

RECO)JMEKDATIOX
Again I strongly recommend the enlargement of the pre ent toreh use, or the ~re('tion of a new one. In my la t two anuual report to you I fully et forth the absolute necessity of having a lar~er storehou e, giving specification. etc., jn paragraph first (paDe!J in report of the Adjutant and Inspector- eneral of the tate of GeorO'la for the year 1 93), and repeated an 1emphasi7.ed the above recommendation. in my report to you of Au ust 15, 1 94 (page 12.- in the report of the Adjutant-General of the tate of eorgia for the year] 94).
I mo t rE' pe tfullya k that you give tbis matt I' your prompt attention, and that by the next encampment the po t quarterma ter's department will have a . torehollse of sufficient size; for 1 have been forced to me the hospital, commis41ary, and gua1'dhouse for the storing of all camp equipments until they could be i ued to the troop. lOU readily ee that, the. e three point for torin bing a far apart a they aril, I cannol do ju tice to the duty required of me a po t (juarterma ter in the proper is uing of property to the regiments.

DEALING WITH THE REGDrJi:NT THRO (if! THE QUARn:RMA TERS.
It is gratifying to slate that the colonel commanding the 6th Regiment, Infantry, complied in full to paragraph ...3 of Gen I'al Order No.6 (issued from your otlice May 13, 1R95,) and by so doing enable 1 me to deal with each regiment (the thing that should be done with ev ry regiment that goes into camp). The colon I commanding the 1st Regiment (Infantl'Y) also complied with the above paragraph of said general orJer, and when tbe 1st and 6th Regiments arrived at camp they received their tents, mattresses, etc., at once, and witbout delay had everything in working oruer, even to the posting of the sentinels, in a comparatively hort time.
The colonel commanding the 3d Regiment did not comply with the afore said pafllgraph in eneral Order No.6 (owing to the sickness of his regimental quarterma~ter, as I was informed when the regiment reached camp), and I met the acting quartermaster when the regiment arrived at camp (about 10 p. m. June 11th). There was nece sarily some delay in i uing store, etc., to thi regiment, and much conft/,8ion in the distl'ibution of the tents, mattre se. ,_ etc., notwithstanding the fact that the adjutant and acting quarterma tel' did the very best they could under the circnm tances.
Each regiment in caml thi. summer, I am sorry to state, left most of their kitchen in a filthy condition. AI:; the troop are in camp for instruction, I feel it my Juty to report frankly every detail pertainiug to my offic , and it is not my intention to criticis , and I know that it is not your wish to have me report a state of aflair better than they re3.11y are; and [ trust I shall be understood in the performance of what I coo i leI' my duty, and as an errol' hown may I' 'ult in that error being corrected, is the only object of my report.
REGIMENTAL QUARTER)[ASTER
I 11m pleased to state that there has been much improvement in theQuartermaster's department of each regiment. Heretofore each company (with the exception of the companies in the 1st Regiment, Infantry, and the1st B.tttalion, Infantry) have been taking" care of them elves" on this line .. and I must insist that by the next encampment each Regimental Quartermaster will report in advance of his regiment and be as thoroughly posted as possible in regard to the strength of each company in his regiment. 1 shall be greatly plea. ed to have e,tch Regimental Quartermaster put himself in communication with me (by letter) at lea t one week before goinO' to camp_ If at any time a regiment shonld b~ ordered into actual service, the office and duties of the Regimental Quartermaster will 1mdoubtedly be a mo.qt im.portant one, and therefore these ofticers 8hould, by all mean8, receive moreinstruction at regimental Headquarters and in camp than they have .heretofore.
CA)IP ATKINSON.
In obedience to parngraphs No. 31 and 32 of General Order No. 10, from your office June 6, 1 95, I had It sufficient number of tents, stoves, mattresses. tool, target materials, etc., packed and shipped from Griffin to Ieldrim July 1, reaching Meldrim, with my assi tant and a few laborers, on July 2. There being no stOl'ehouse provided for the State's property, I had to temporarily use the storehouse erected for the Regimental Commissary until I could piteh enough Sibley teuts, which were u3ed a a Post Quartermaster's storehou e during the entire encampment, and I 8trongly recommend that the proper authorities erect a suitable house to be used for this purpose, for it i much needed at Camp Atkinson.
Major P. W. Meldrim kindly as isted me much in the preparation of thegrouod3, etc., and for this kindness shl)wn the tate, through my department, I am indebted to him. The wagons I used here I hired in and around Meldrim. The slack lime u ed in the sink pits, barrel:'! used at each kitr.hen. and in fact all necessary tuff used in my department I was obliged to purchase in "av'Lnnah, and fnrnished as neal' as possible all lanterns, lamps. (with oil) used in the lighting of camp.
IN. PE TION OIl' 'rENT.
In my inspection of tents Ifound about 40 "A" tents, out of the 128 pitched~

91

that either had holes torn and burnt in them or leaked. The walI and Ribley
tents and flies were in very good c ndition. On July 17 I began inspecting
those tents on St. Simon's, u ed by the 4th and 5th Regiments (with the exception of tho e inspecLed already at Meldrim), and found about 30 "A" tents
in a condition similar to that stated above in regard to the 40 at Meldrim. The wall and ibley tents were in comparatively good condition, but I found
four or more flies that had lits in two corners; these were evidently caused by poles being put under them to tightly stretch the flies when they were
stretched for the u e of company me s quartera. I marked all tents and flies
I fouud not in good condition, reporting the character of the mark to you. I believe the decay and leaking of many if not all of these tents was cau'ed by the great amount of dirt, dew and rain they have been exposed to in the past four yeara.
Owing to the fact that there is a great deal of unnecesBa,'y damage done the tents in camp, I deem it my duty to throw out a few general hints to the Cilmpany officers, and a there is very little attention or instruction given to this
in caml and as my position is such a to thoroughly acquaint me with the matter, I believe (lny officer will be plea ed to read and instruct his men on the following:
First. All men should be taught to loosen their tent cords when it rains, for the guy ropes when wet will contract, and in ,0 doing are liable to either
pull up the pins or tear out the grommet from an old tent. 'econd. While rain is falling you should not allow anything to stand in
connection with the inside of the top of the tents (without a fly), for this will cau e the water to seep through.
Third. The men should not carry their piece l,'ithfi.(ecl bayonets into the
tents unle !l they are oing to hold them in their hands, for it is evident to
my mind that many punctures have been given the" A" tents in this careless way, 0 officer or enlisted man should drive large nails deep into the up-
right poles, for in triking the tent they are liable to receive a tear therefrom. If nny nail are driven in the pole the men should be ,. quired to extract them wh n they ~reak cftmp (the la t tour anyway), for it takes money and time to extract these nails wben my department i striking tents.

BREAK!); ; CA)!P.
In winding up Camp Atkinson] had the sink pits filled with clean dirt, piled ail tent floors, washed and stored all slop bal'l'els in a kitchen, and hipped the stove, mattres, -ticks, tools, target material, medical upplie , etc., to ritliu. On reaching Camp Northen with these good I properly replaced everything and shipped the tents, medical upplies, etc., to the capito\.

GENERAL REMAHKS.

The camp equipment could hlwe been hipped from Meldrim the day after

camp broke had the entral railroad complied with my requisition for a box

car; and I am sorry to state that this road did not give me a car of sufficient

capacity until the 16th in t., and then, owing to some delay, th is car did not

arrive at the Camp Northen track until July 19. (The Central railroad at

thi end of I be route was \'ery prompt, most of the delay taking place in the

other yard.)

I owe my thanks to olonel A. J. West, Qnartermil.ster General, for the

prompt attention he was wont to ive to all business communications from

a the Post Quarterma ter's deparhnent. To 1st Lieutenant car J. Brown, of the army, who so kindly assisted me

in every detail when called upon, I am pleased to say that I found him ever

willing and in camp.

STA1'E 01' GEORGIA,
SCRGEOX-GIi:XERAL'S OFFICE, ~[ACOX, GA., Septflmber 1, 1895.

The Adjt-Gen., Ga. Yol., Atlanla, Ga.:

8m :-I have the honor to hand you hel'ewith the report of the Medical

Department for the year ending September I, 1995.

The Medical Department is practically in the same condition that it was at

my last annual report. I find it a very difficult matter to obtain quarterly

reports from the medical officers as requireu by the regulations. In many

instances repeated requests from me for their I'ep:>rt meet with no reply.

This may, in a great measure, be accounted for from the lack of proper

encouragement to the medical OffiCeI'd in their equipments. They are not

supplied by tbe State with any stores or equipments of any kind, therefore

not having anything upon which to report, they seem to deem a quarterly

I'eport unnecessary. The same may be said to apply to the Hospital and

Ambulance Corps. While the law authorizes the enlistment of men for duty

in the Hospital and Ambnlance Corps, yet no provision is (nade to supply

them with equipments; and when a medical officer succeeds iu enlisting a

number of men in that corps he finds himself without any litters with which

to drill the men in the litter drill.

The number of men at present enlisted is the same as was reported in my

last report, and that corps is not incrdasin~ as I hoped it would, the 5th

Regiment, In[antry, being the only command in the State with a Hospital and

Ambulance Corps large enou~h to be of any sen'ice in case of need, and their

Corps is not nearly as large a~ it should be for efficient service.

As I sug~ested in m.v last report, some provision shoulu be made whereby

men enlisting in the Hospital and Ambulance Corps could 1.>9 supplied with

uniforms aUll equipments. It would stimulate the organization and ensure a

more rapid growth.

While the position of private in a Hospital and Ambulance Corps is just as

honorable as that of one in the line, yet it has not that chance [or glitter and

display i and a young man willing and able to purchase a uniform prefers

some olher branch o[ tbe service. To their minds it has a certain semblance

of ser'vitude from their having to wait upon the sick, and they feel that they

should not have to purchase uniforms for the purpose of waiting upon others.

The necessity [or a well organized and disciplined Hospital and Ambulance

Corps C>lnnot be overestimated. This is recoguizerl by the leading armies of

tbe world, and tbey all pay special attention to this department of the service.

The Anuual Encampment for the State Troops at Camp Nortben beg,m

with the first tour of dnty on June 11, and ending June 17, 1895, with tbe 3d

aud 6th Regiments, Infantry, in camp.

apt. Sam. H. Dillon, Surgeon Medical Department, Georgia Volnnteer,s,

was Post Surgeon, with Lieutenants Stovall and Montgomery, Assistant Sur-

geons.

Tbe Hospital and Ambulance Corps consisted of two Hospital Stewards

an,l ten privates, detailed for that duty f1'Jm the companies in camp.

There was comparatively very little sickness, and that of a light nature.

The second tour of duty opened on June 18, and ended June 2-1, 1895, with the 1st Regimeut, Infantry, in camp; Capt.T. G. Jarrett, Post Surgeon, with Lieutenants T. P. Waring and F. H. Bloodworth as Assistant Surgeons. De-
tails for Hospital and Ambulance duty were made from the companies in camp as in the first tour of duty. There was much less sickness than during
the Drst tour.

All the medical officers performed their duty zealously and efficiently. The
administration was conducted as nearly as practicable upon tbe lines of tbe
regular service. 1 paid two onlcial visits tluring each tour of duty, and was pleased to find
that the sanitary condition of the camp was very good, and that the company commanders heartily co-operated with the medical officers in keeping tbe grounds clean and in good condition.
The majority of the cases reported can be traced to errors of diet, which it is almost impossible to control.
The hospital building must be thoroughly overhauled, and several changes
should he made in its interior arrangement before the next encampment. as the builuing is positively unfit for habitation, and is by no means a fit place
to treat the sick in. The dispensary should be placed in the front of the building, partitioned
off, so tbat those reporting at sick call in the morning will not disturb the sick in the hospital.
The dispensary should also be so arranged as to permit of the drugs left on hand remaining therein, and not requiring that they be packeu. The drugs
left O\'er at the eud of the last tour of duty still remain iu tbe building; liS last year they were boxed and shipped to the capital, and as the boxes were
broken into and robbed of the larger portion of their contents, I thought it unnecessary to add tbe expE'nse of the freight to Atlanta, and ordered that they be proJ:erly stored in tbe dispensary.
Hospital Steward Brunner, of the Second Regiment, was detailed to proceed to Griffin and attend to that duty.
I am compelled, from a sense of duty, to close this report, as I did my preceding one, by again calling attention to the fact that our medical officers arc not supplied with any medical stores, instl'umt'nts, or litters. Each re~i mental and battalion headquarters should be provided with a medicine chest, propel'ly fitted up, and lhl ee band litters. The cost need not exceed $100 to
each command. Their lack in time of nee(l might entail unspeakable sulferlng. Our medical officers are at present in the same condition that an infantry
soldier would be in without his Jifle. Willing, skillful, and able, they would be unable to render proper assistance, in case of a serious riot, on account of
this lack of provision. The medical officers are largely indebteu to Capt. L. H. Kenan, Assistant
Quartermaster Georgia Volunteers, Post Quartermaster, for the kindness, courtesy, and promptness with which he responded to every requisition
made upon him hy tbe medical officers of the encampment.
Respectfully submitted.

'ince the last report of thi department range have been e tabli hed at Albany, Augusta, and avannah, though none as yet are complete. Th contruction of range at Ma on and Atlanta i contemplated to be fini bed in time for n xt ea n' work. I cannot too ur ently r commend encouragement to tbe e ranges, e pecially of a financial nature.

SroXAL ORP.
A chief ignal officer, I am plea ed to announce the organization and equipment of a i nal corp for the 5th Infantry, under the direction of Capt.
lement C. Bradley, in~p tor of rifle practice. Tbi i the only corp in the tate; it i fairly well instructed, and compo ed of well-selected material. Capt. Bradley des )'\'e credit for hi work on thi organization. In yi II' of the fact tbat ignal work i in it infancy in thi tate, and the expense of eqnipping ignal corp, I would recommend that no more corp be permitted to organize until the present organized corps has pa sed beyond the experimental period.
UECO)IMENDATlON
The recommendation of my predece or in his last annual r port as to ~tate range and annual competition is re pectfnlly renewed.

*Special etas seagirt team.
S.\\ANNAU, GA., October 5,1 !l5.
To Ihe Adjutant-General tale of Georgia, Atlanla. Ga.:
'1R :-1 beg to submit herewith my report of the work 1I0ne by the Georgia 'team in the matche held at Sea irt, "T., eptember 2 to 7, 1 95:
La t year the 'tate of Georgia was ripre ented for the fir t I.ime in these national matche , and whilst the team did not win in either the Interstate or Hilton trophy conte ts, it showed that it had material that would be heard from in future competitions. Undoubtedly the experience of the men last year but gave them a greater desire to return thi year and capture at least one of the great prizes; and it wa through their efforts, in enlisting the interest of the entire military of thi . city in rifle shooting, that the fine rifle range we now ha\'e \\'IIS undertaken. Work wa started on the new rifle range in April. the shorter distances, 200 and 300 yards, being completed fir t, and by the 1 th of July the 500 and 600 yards were ready for u e, though not fini hed.
About the middle of June the bet shots from the variou companie were gotten together, and from that time out syRtematic team practice had twice a week. Having been elected team captain, and same having been confirmed by you by special order authorizina m to elect a team to repre ent the 'tate, I notified the nineteen men practicing for positions on the team that just before leaving for :::lea Girt I would select the best fifteen men, ba e l on their shooting averages, who would proceed to Sea Girt, and after several days' practice on the grounds I would then pick the team of twelve men to repreent the tate. This plan had a very beneficial effect in regular attendance and hard work at the practices.
At the IllSt moment several p;ood and reliable shots, who were counted on to ~o to ea Girt, were prevented from 0 doing by ickness and unavoidable business; this was especially the ca e with Capt. W. . Nichols and Privates J. T. huptrine and R. C. Fetzer, whose places had to be filled. The team started for ew Je ey with the following men,-
Capt. Wm. W. Williamson, Co. A, 1st Battalion, Infantry, Georgia Volunteers. team captain.

And arrived at. 'ea Girt on Tuesday, August 27, about 4 I'. )1. They were mo t
hospitably received by the Jerseymen, there being many mutual acquaintances from the previous year. We were at once a. igned to quarter. and furnished with everythinO' ne 'e 'sary to make us comfortahle.
The Georgia flag, to designate the company street, was rai ed for th fir;:t
time on ew Jer ey soil in tbe presence 01' ov. Wert and Ids staff. ur tealn wa;; the first on the ~rouncl, and got the benefH of five days' pra '.
tice, the men familiarizing' them elves with the effect of th wind, light, etc.,
which wa,' ( f invuluable service to them in tbe matche . For five or six days after our arrival on the ground there wa con iderable
sickness among tbe men, and at on time it looked as if we would not be able \0 enter a team in th matches. Private Nelson wa' 80 sick he bad to be ent to a ho pital in Jew York. Tha sickne s of the men wa undoubtedly cau~et! by their practicing early in tile morning and late in the evening on the n w avannah ranl!e, whi h was entirely made of ril'h fre h earth, turned "p and ('xpo ed to the hot July and Augu t sun. e\'eralof the men 'bot with fever on thelll, and under the cir'umtance did remarkable work.
Tbe cont sts opened up on Tues lay, eptember :3, with the regimental match, in which there were thirteen ntrie. There being but ten targets, seven team fired in the first rount! and six in the uecond. nfortunately for
u , in drawing for targets tb 1 t Battalion team "ot in the s cond round, whil t the Engineer Corp (the; only team we were afraid of) wel'e lucky
enough to draw the fir t round. The advantage in this to the Engineer Corps was tbat the wind was stead
ily increasing, and wben they bad finished at 200 yards (tben going to 00)
and we began to sboot, it was blowing at from 12 to 15 miles per hour. In the mid t of our 200-yard shooting tbe targets were clo ell for dinner, and
when firing was resumed tbe wind had increased to 1 to 20 miles an boul'. In such a wind it is impo ible to keep the body from waying, and good
hooting is out of the qne tion. Our two la t men who sbot after dinner only made 33 and 34, when, under ordinary circum tances, they are good for 43.
and 44. It can be readily seen tbat the match was 10 t rigbt here, a in the
total we were only beaten by tbe Engineers by 7 points. At 500 yards tbe wind was also very worrying, but having the advantage of lying down, tbe men did fairly well. Tbe skirmish was completed in tbe next two afternoons,.
and the skirmish run of tlte 1st Battalion team breaks the record. I give full
detail blow:

On Wednesday 'eptember 4th, the Interstate ::'IIatch wa shot, and I ha\' no apologies to make for the team on that day, fOr they coyered them ehe'
with medals and nobly brought Georgia' color to the front. Whil t in winning this match each man was mo t highly elat d, I think the
entire team were far more gratified by the kindly expressions o[ praise alld gratification at our success coming from the m mbers of every other team on the ground. The numerous teleo-rams or congratulation [rom different parts
of the country were most highly appre iated. The details below Sl eak for themselves. The core at 200 yards broke the rec I'd:

Th summary of which i that in the team matches we came out first in the

Interstate, a close second in the Regimental, fifth in the Hilton Trophy, and in the individual matches our men won five out of th even matches in which they c mpeted, and came out with third place in the other two.

In addition to the above, Private F. C. Wilson entered the President' match for the military championship of the nited States. Tllie match is

divideJ into two stages.

Fir t tage, 200 and 300 yards, 7 sho each distan e. lle cam out 1st

31--31= 62

There were more competitor in thi match than any other, and the apparent low core which won wa on account of the high wind which prevailed.

. econd staoe open to prize winner of first tage, 500 and 600 yards, 7 shot each di tance.

Private Wilson came out 4th of the ten competitors in thi. tage.

In my opinion, the records made this year by our men are in a great mea'-
ure due1st. To the knowledg and information gained ]a t year at ea Girt.
2d. To the prar.tice they were able to have at the long di tance on the new rifle range.
3d. To the fact that the ammunition used was carefully loaded by each man, and he consequently had confidence in his cartridge.
A Georgia team having twice vi ited ea Girt and met with ucb encouraging ucces, it i. sincerely hoped that teams from other ,~outhern States will
_.-- be found in the conte ts_nat. year at ea Girt, where all are treated with
fairne and adva!1~g.. <eh~ no~e. i: ~ '. '

COLONEL:- Paragraph 16il of tbe Regulations for Ihe Ciovernment of the

\' olunteer J' orces for the. 'tate of Georgia, requires that on the Ist day of

~ept mber of each year, commanding officers of regiments shall make a

report of th ir commands,

At the date when this report fell due I was absent from the 'tate on

a :count of ill health, by permi sion of the Governor, and have only recently

returned. Lieutenant,Colonel Reilly. then in command, did not make tbe

report, but applied for delay in its rendition until my return.

Regular quarterly returns, ubmitting tbe detailed information required,

have been regularly made, and I do not deem it neces. ary to repeat these

items.

The several companie have held weekly drills in e the last eptember

Report, and Battalion drills of the two Battalions, conducted by their Majors,

have been pretty regularly held once a month, except dnring the summer

months just passed. The full Regiment beld three regular parade, on Jan-

nary 19th, February 22d, and durino- May week, when the ovemor was

present and received tbe troops, the appearance of naval vessels and the par'

ticipation of ailors and marines in the parade, adding much to the eclat of

the occasion. 'pon the whole the Regiment bas varied little in its numbers,

The mo t important event that occurred in the history of the Regiment

during the year was the Slattery religiou riot on February 26th last. In

accordance with your order, I submitted a full report 9f thIS riot on March

question of military duty and responsibility, and set a notable precedent, 1
