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:

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.

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

L3th la t, which is on file in your office; but a it presentod an important

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

attach a copy to this report.

On .June 1 th the Regiment, under orders, attended Camp Northen for one

week.

On July II th I forwarded my official report of thl3 Camp, which was under

my command, I lid not retain a cOl y of this report, being very much occu-

pied at the time, and in poor health. If tbis report is considered a necessary

part of the history of the Regiment for the year, J beg that a copy, from the

tiles in your office, may be attached.

I send herewith an official report of aptain William . ichols, Inspector

of Rifle Practice of the Regiment, of the score made by the regiment at the

Camp.

The competition of the new Rifle Range near this city last ummel', gave a

gr at impetus to rifle practice among the avannah troops, and a very great

improvement over the scores made at Camp orthen was observable. To

tbis opportuuity for practice, and to tbe competition engendered, was due the

fine cores made by the 'avannah soldiers at Sea Girt and which secured them

tbe interstate trophy.

.\VANNAIl, GA., March 13, 1895.
-Colonel John Mclntosh Kelt, Adju/ant-General, Allantct, Go.. :
CoI..ONEL :-1 am ju t in receipt of an official copy of a letter of 12th iust. addressed to Colonel W. W. GonIon, 1st RegimenttCa"alry, Georgia Volunteer', witb direction to me to render the report in fn I demanded by yonI' letter of 'th inst. I now ubmit my report.
Lectures by the ex-Roman Catbolic priest, lattery and hi wife were advertised to be lelivered in avannah on the 26th of February last, and at later dates. These I 'cture were understood to be "ery abu ive of the Roman Catholic clergy and the institutions of that church, and arou ed much excitel.\ent and animo'ity among' its adherents. Large and J'e pectable delegations of Roman Catholics 'alled UpOIl tbe mayor and urged a suppression of the 'e lectures. The mayor consulted the corporation attorney, and was advi ed that he could not prevent th lecttIrc, but should take step to pre erve the peace.
The finlt lecture took place on the night of February 26 at Masonic Temple, corn r Liberty aud Whitaker street. ~o previon indication of any disturbance or riot occurred, and no warnin'" wa "iven to the military to hold themelve. in readine . A largo force of police wa, provided, and was deemed amply ufficient. hortly previou to the lecture a number of persons began to collect about the hall, bnt many of them were doubtle s attracted by curi-
ity. The soldiers were dispersed over the city, not anticipating any call. I was at the theater. oon after the time for the lecture the crowd IUcreased largely and evinced a riotous temper; stones and brick' bpgan to be thrown IIpon the hall and at the window, many of which were broken; all the shutters had to be clo 'ed, and even then mi siles penetrated the windows, and .olne of t,he audience of several hundred were injured by the broken glas .

104
The police attempted to prevent thi de truction, but could not prevent itThe mob then began to crowd at the entrance with threats of breakin~ in h\' force. 'rhe police ma sed in front of tile 1001', but were pelted with mlS iles, and several were erion Iy injured. It was feared that if the mob broke into the hall the lecturer would be, eriously hurt, if not killed. The chief of police reported ttl the mayor his inability to uppl'e~s tbe di. ord I' or control the mol,.
From twenty-five hundre\! to three thou,'and men, pI' bably, had HOW ('01Ie ted, and all the adjacent streets were jammed, The mayor ther upon to)k advice and oetermined to call out th military.
About 9: 1:- the signal of eleven ,troke on the fir alarm wa sounded. Tile ueveral military command a embled at their armories with ~reat promptitude. The four companie of the 1st Battalion, Infantry, eorgia Volunteers, Savannah Volnnteer 'uards, were firut out of their arlDory, two block and a quare di tanto The:T orgia Hussar (Troop A, 1st Regiment, avalry, Georgia Volunteer~), who e armory wa one block distant, armed with carbine, fir't reached the scene of tile disturbance!:l.
The mayor wa on the ground, and at this time Colouel W. \V. Gordon wa. the s nior officer pre ent. He took hi order from the mayor, and the 'uard and Hussar were use I to clear the adjacent streets and to protect the entrance to the hall. As soon as notified at the theater of the listurbance, after oroering Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Reilly to pI' ceed at onc to th armory, form the 1 t Regiment, and march at once to the place of riot, r proceeded to tile hall. r wa not in uniform, a r had no time or opportunity to I!:0 to my house, half a mile distant. Deeming my immediate pre"ence at the cene of riot e ential, r at once I' ported to the may r.
Col. Gordon and fajor :'\Ieldrim, of his regiment, were pre ent, and Lieut.Col. Garrard with biscommand. A pace all around the hall had be n cleared by the military. The mob wa noisy and d fiant, bnt the throwing of mis ile' hatl been stopped.
The 1 t Regim nt, Infantry, Georgia \ olnnteers (1st Volunteer Regiment of eorgia), arrived in a very short time with five companie , and the Chatham Artillery reported to me, through tbeir econd Lientenant. that they were in their Armory ready for duty. 1 directed them to await or(lers. The streets were now cleare(1 for one block ea t and west, an(! for so 111 e distanc north and south, and picket were e tabli hed to maintain the e line. The peakeI' completed hi Ie ture. The wide space in front o[ the hall, maintained by the troop, enabled the audience to leav the ball and di per e. The lecturer and hi wife remained in the hall with a few poli emen. Mr!:l. 'Iatteryat first po. itively refu ed to saparat [rom her husband, and this created ome troubl ,a it was feared they mi rht be stoned when they appeared on the heet. At last, however, after a 'onference with th mayor and others, he agreed to separate from her husband and to proceed to her botel without him. Mr. lattery wa broug-ht fJ'om the hall under a guard of police, and wa placed in the center of a doubl military column, formed of four companie of th/Ol 1 t Regiment 11 hi right and the I' ur companie" of the Guards on his left, with lixed bayonet. 'fh fifth company of the 1st Regiment and the Hussars (di mounted) remaint\d in front of the hall to pI' . erve order and protect Mrs. lattery. Mr. lattery was safely escorted to th Pulauki House by the military. A larg-e crowd followed and hooted and jeered, but no mi ile w re thrown. Mr. 'Iattery was 'ent to the hotel later in a carriage nnder an escort of police. 1'he subsequent ]e ture of the ex-priet were delivered without listurbances. The 1st Battalion, [nfantry, Georgia Volunteers, colored, under command of Li ut-Col. John II. Deveaux, as embled promptly at their armory and reported to the mayor for dnty. r especially commend the promptnes of the troop in a 'sembling their full pal'llde under the ircumstanceE, their faithful obedience to order, and their patience and (Ii. ciplin under the jeering and insult~ of the mob. The prompt and di ciplined parade of the rri h Ja per 're ns, of the 1st Regiment, de erves particular notice. The company i compo d 0 f Irish Roman Catholic, who were greatly embittered again t the ex-priest" and fonnd in hi prote tion a most ungrateful ta k, yet th y promptly reponded to the ummons, and showed that the demands of military duty weJ'(~ :;tronger than th animosities of sect.

105

The prompt and 'oldierly re.. ponse of the colored troop' de erves noti

and comm ndation. For fear that some youug soldier with a loader! gUll

might lose hi tempel', if truck with a rock, and fire without orders, ( directetl

Lieutenant-Colonel R illy not to load his pieces until the actual exigency dl'-
manded. The Guards were ordered to 101ld by their commander before r

reached the ground, and one gun was accideutally discharged, but owing, I

wa illformp,d, to a defective lock.

Adjulcm/-Ul'ller'ltl Stale uf G,'ol'gia:

1ft :-During the past twelve months the Second Regiment, Infantry, ha
not been called together. The stations of the se\'eral companie beinl!: flllremoved from each other, and lack of money to defray the expenses of Illa sing the regiment at any point, renders it impo sible to call the rel!:iment
together for field duty or other instruction. This being an off year for the regiment, it has not had tile advantage of a tour of in truction duty at camp,
a fact which militates greatly against its proper growth in military efficiency. The ,'econd Battalion, composed of the companies stationed at Macon,
under commaud of Major John L. Hardeman, has received instruction from time to time, being called out for battalion drills and parade. None of the
other companies have !Jeen together since tbe tour of the regiment at amp Northen in May, 1 !)J.
By permission, ompany B went into camp on Cumberland Island, (la., for ten days on June 10th, llnd ompany F \'isited the permanent camp site
at Grifnn and en"'aged in rifle practice, pursuant. to orders TO. 72, A. r. 0.,
and Company G accompanied the -tth Regiment, Infantry, under commaud
of Colonel Varnadoe, in an encampment at. 'to 'imon's Island, Ga., for th& week beginning July 6th. By permission, Companies B, C, and F, each took
a team to Albany, Ga., on .\.ugust 21st, and took part ill a target firing conte t given under the auspices of the Albany Guards. All otber instructions
received, and duLy done, have been confined tJ such as seemed good to each company commander.
Twice durino thi year 1 have been called upon to aid the civil authoritie .
First, in the matter of the Ja per county lynching. At the request of the judge of the superior court I was ordered by the Governor to hold thirty
Ulen in readiness to respond to any call from such junge. In thirt.v minute
from receipt of the orders, I wa ready with ompany B to I' pond, but the

106
lynching took place before the judge had time to call upon me. A full report of this matter has heretofore been submitted to you.
The second call was in the matter of the expected trouble at Andersonville on May 30th. Appended hereto as exhibit" B," .you will find all the correspondence and orders upon that event. I am glad to say no disorder occurred, and the services of the troops were not needed on that occasion. Company F has not yet been supplied with cartridges to replace those sent to Company L, although requests bave been made for the dame.
Pl1rsulmt to the act approved December 20, 1893, and by authority of orders No. 21, from these headquarters July 22, 1 tlo, a copy of which last is bereto annexed, a regimental band of music has been orgauized and enlisted for the 2d Regiment. For thi credit i due to Major Owen T. Kenan, who voluntarily undertook the organization of the band, and has accomplished it.
The condition and discipline of the regiment has not materially changed since my report of eptember 20, 1 9.J..
Companies D, H, and 1\1, are in no better trim than there reported. The 'Captain of Company D removed from Talbot to Baldwin county nearly a year ago. 2d Lieutenant Mahone, after being in command of the company some months, resigned on May 2 th, 1 05. Since that time ~d Lieutenant :\filo B. Matthews has been in command of the company. His residence is at Prattsbtlfg, a distance of about twelve miles from Talbotton, the station of the company, while the residences of the men are scattered over the county of Talbot. I have made many efforts, both with 2d Lieutenant Mahone and 2d Lieutenant Matthews, to have Company D comply with the re~ula tions and become properly officered. The company has not had a 1st lieutenant since it wa . assigned to the 'econd Regiment, Infantry. Orders for an election of such an officer have been uniformly di regarded. Both of the
econd lieutenants have failed or refused to make. the bond which, by the reO'ulations, is a prerequisite to the acceptance of the resignation of Captain H. W. Little, which was tendered by him many months ago. In this connection I beg to call aU-ention to a letter received from Captain H. W. Little, dated September 4, 1895, a copy of which is hereto attached. I have been unable to get ~d Lieutenant Matthews to respond to communications from this office, or t<, otherwi e discharge the duties which devolve upon him as commanding officer of said company. In view of these facts, and of others which might be enumerated, I respectfully recommend that Company D, 2d
Regiment, Infantry, Georgia Volnnteers, be disbanded at once, as r believ~
the efficiency of my regiment, and the good of the State' service will be thereby subserved.
There bas been no improvement iu Company H siuce my last report. 1st Lieutenant B. B. Adams, its only commi ioned officer', is still in command of the company. It seems impossible to have the company properly officered. More than a year ago Lieutenant Adams was elected to the captaincy, and other men elected lieutenants. Your department records will show wby commissions were never is ued. MOI:e recently Liel1tenaut Adam was a<Yain -elected to the captaincy, but has failet! or refused to stand the examination which is prerequisite to the issuance of a commis~ion. The company seems unable or unwilling to select anyone el e for its captain; Lieutenant Adams seems unable or unwilling to do those things necessary to the assnmption of that office. If the company cannot be properly oflicered, it would seem advisable that it be iii banded. I respectfully recommend that the department have the company inspected, with a view to taking such action as the facts thereby developed and the good of the State's service may require.
Company M is in command of 1 t Sel'p;eant am Paris, whose attention to all matterA coming under the observation of this office is commendably prompt and efficient. Captain H. M. Stanley removed from Eastman to Savannah, and tendered his resi"nation to the department many months ago, but his juniors, who have since resigned, failed to give bond for the tate's property, which the department requires as the pr(::requisite to the acceptance of Captain 'tanley' resignation. Tbe company i thus practically without a commi sioned officer. Au election to fill the lieutenancies was held, hut the officeraelect failed to secure their commissions. 'rhe company, feeling that it cannot

107
hope to become properly office red , and for other I' a ons sati fact ry to it, has petitioned that it be honorably disbanded. I have therefore forwarded that pt'tition, with my approval, and now respectfully recommen I that it be com)lied with.
The othel' companies of the regiment are prepareu, in strengtb and li cipline, to respond promptly to any call for service which the, tate may require 01 them.
[ very respect.fully recommend a discontinuance of the practice by the department of issuing commi~ ions so as to make the officer elected rank from the date on which he was elected. Such a practice not infrequently causes the company records to show that the officer in command is of one grade while the records of the department show that he is of a higher grade.
Be ides, the practice now in vogue is no incentive to an officAr-elect to promptly put himself in position to receive his commission. For many reason, which I will not here detail, and in the light of my experience in tr~'ing to have the companies of this Regiment properly officered, it seems to me the better practice would be to have each officer elected rank from the day he takes the oath and accepts his commission. rot the least good result which would flow from such a regulation would be the fact that a resil!:nation tendere I could be accepted to take efl'ect upon tbe qualification of tbe sucees or to the resigning ofIicer. Whereu pon an election for uch uccessor could be held at once, and upon qualifying himself, and giving the bond I' fJuired by law, hi predecessor would be relieved without friction in the conduct of the company's affairs. This practice would remove the onerous duty now imposed upon the junior officer of furnishing bond for the public prope,'ty, for the condition of which he is not responsible, the control thereof not having been within his power, and the custody of which he might not wish to a ume. Upon careful consideration, I am persuaded there is no legal ob tacle in tht> way of such an improvement in the regulations. In this connection, I beg to call your attention to my letter of February 28, IS!)', in the IIlatter of elections held for officers of Company B and Company F.
Very re pectfully, your obedient sen'ant, C. l\I. \\'ILEY,

by tbe , tate, [or the military department of the Government, much may be ~aid in favOl' of thi policy, it cannot be denied, that so long as this I?olicy is obRerved, we cannot reasonably expect to gain friends [or the military III those ections of our tate where the organization of military companie' is virtually
prohibited. I allude to thi ubject because it bear directly on the growth and con equent prosperity of thi regiment. I have been advised of two in-

tanee , in different towns, where the effort to organize was defeated by lack of encoura~ement [rom the tate.
The policy outlined in my last report, touching the discipline of thi regi-

Jllent ha ' been adhered to, with results more 01' Ie encouraging. The word

10
discipline i used in a omprehensive en e. In all of thc campanie marked improvement in the matter of official corre pondence i noticeable. In n arly all of them increased intere t ha been awakened, and that aloll th mOSl practical lines.
During the early part of the year, it wa. prop ed by a few o[ the companie: that I obtain permis. ion for the "egim nt to go into a voluntary encampment. I purpo ely refrained from taking the initiative in tbi mol' ment, but, on th petition of all o[ th company offi 'er , I con ented, I conte s, ,with ome mi -
ivinl1'. .'t. .:imon' 1 land wa cho en a the place. and the 6th to the Lth of July inclusive, a the tim for the en 'ampm ut. Only five companies paltidpated. Oompanie J) an 11 lid not unite in tlii movement.
On the whole, [rom a military standpoint, the encampm Ilt IVa a fair HUCces. Irc pect[ully suggest, however, that in all voluntary I1CRmpment. the prerogative of the Commanrler-in-Cbief be exer ised in pre cribing ju t ueh orders [or their government, a are required in ~tate ncampment. A commanding officer hould not b deprived of thi needful support.
The regular routine of dutie,' and ex l' 'i e wa observed a obtained at our ,'tate encampment, witb the exeeption of target firing, no range having been provided for thi. exel'ci . In all ot.her I' spect~, I have reason to believe, th~ encampm nt was fruitful of benefit to the compRnie participating.
Durin the past month, ou the 21 t to the 22d of Au"'ust in III i\'6, throngh tile ell' rt o[ Company E (Albany nard) there wa a rifle onte. t, on the rift~ range at Albany, recently built by that company, in wbie-h teams 1'1' m eleveu different companies throull;hout tbe 'tate participated. Only foul' companie~ of tbi' regiment were repre. ented. I alll expectinO' much, however, a b fruit of tbis commendable effort. The companies sbould be cncoura"ed alon~ tbis line. Each company should be upplied at once with reloading tool, and the almo~t wOl'tble s gun in po es iou of om of my companie ou"'ht tn be exchanged for new gun of imprJved ight. If tbe 'tate cannot. lIppiy the old companie at on e, L I'espectfully uggest tbat, say, ten old Il;uns be repla 'ell annually witb a like numlJp.r of new guns, and that the old gun be furni hed tbose new orll;anization tbat may, from time to tim, be admitted to tbe force. Tbe practi e of furnishing the new companies with all of til best material i an inju tice to tbe old companies.
ne notable evidence of a higher appreciati n of di' ipline on the part of Home of the companie , is found iu tbe request f tbeir company 'olllmander for the di cbar~e of wort.hles membera.

The scope of instruction imparted during tbe past year em brnc s much tbe same a mentioned in former report, witb the exception of more compre hensive instruction witb reference to battalion and regimental maneuver. and ~uard duty, which wa received during our tour at the annual encampment commencing June II. and extending to the 1 tb.

109
Our equipment. are in good condition, with the exception of rifles, which, "dth the exception of one company, were received frmn the Stafe seconclhanded, and in a damaged condition. The rifles of the mentioned company are in good condition, and have received excellent care.
The target practice will 110t be a fair sample of the abilities of the regiment, as the red rust has so completely dama~ed the rifling of the piece there is no certainty as to where the projectile will strike. The di cipline of the regiment is very good.
All of the companies have good armories, and, with one excpt.ion, take excellent care of the arms and equipments. I visit semi-annually all the COOlmands of Illy regiment. The regiment will soon have enlisted a volunteer band of fifteen pieces.
J would recommend that the arms of each company of the regiment, for reasons previously mentioned, be sent to the arsenal for overhauling and repairing.
That a machine gun be attached to the regiment. That we be provided with overcoats, as our effectiveness would be materiallv increa ed. '1'hat the Adjutant eneral's Department carefully examine the military laws of the tate anci recommend to the Committee on Military Affair. of the Legislature' such legislation a8 in their opinion would prove beneficial to the service. That the salary of the clerk in the Adjutant-General's office be increased, as he is an efficient and conscientioll employee.

Adjutant-Ueneral, Atlanta, Get.:

IR :-1 have the honor of submitting my report of the encampment of the-

4th Regiment, Infantry, . V., at t. imonslsland, from the 6th to the 12th in~tant, inclusive. As you are aware, this WRS a voluntary Rervice on the part of this command, the entire expense being borne by the officers and men. Authority for this encampment was contained in special orders No. r , A. G. 0., current series. I arrived on the Island on the afternoon of July (ith. Companie Band K accompanied me. Companies E, F, and I, had preceeded me by a few hours. Companies D and H did not participate in
the encampment. Owing to the lateness of the hour, at the time of my arrival, it wa impossible to have a dress parade, and so, after establishing

the sentry lines, I assembled the ofl1cer ,and bad order Ko 16 read to them in order that they miO'ht be informed definitely, in respect of the lines on which the encnmpment would be conducted. As usual, J found the officers thoroughly in accord with me respecting the enforcement of strict di cip-

line. Orders No. 16 were published at the evening parade of July 7th, and, together with the other orders published during the encampment, are
re pectfully submitted herewith, a a part of this report. Tbeyare marked, . for easy reference, Exhibits A, B, ,and D. ompany G, of the 2d Regi-
ment, who 9 commanding officer, Captain John D. Little, had obtained authority froll1 his regimental commander, Colonel C. M. Wiley, to join m~' command in this encampment, al'l'ived during the earlier part of the day, and was assiO'ned to the first battalion. A uard was detail d at once f01'
the protectiou of the camp, serving until hali past eight ( ) o'clock a. m., July 7th, at which time the first guard mounting WllS had, and thi!l ceremony was observed every morning thereafter.
Commencing at 6 o'clock a. m., July 8t.h, one hOUI' wa de\'oted each day to Battalion drill. The companies of this command, having so few opportunities to meet, it wa deemed best to give more attention to battalion than
company drills. Marked improvement in these exercises was noticeable at the conclusion of the encampment. Company drills, while left discretionary with company commanders, were not overlooked.

upEavnedrycoenvteinnuienCgll

after dress parade, battalion and company drills were almost to supper call. ullrd duty wa given careful

taken atten-

tion, and though withont a regularly detailed instructor, the officers and men

l!:ained much valuable information respecting this important work.

TIon Charles F. Crisp, peaker of the lIouse of Representatives, being on

the Island, was invited to vi it the camp, which invitation he accepted on the afternoon of the 11th instant, and such honors as are due to his position
were accorded him. The grounds selected for the camp were well adapted to all purposes, for a

body of men not exceedinO' two hundred, and, with slight alteration, could

accommodate twice that number.

HEAllt/ll. RTEIlS FIrTH RE(;JM}';~T INFANTRY, G. Y. ATLAXTA, GA., eptembel' ]2,1 95.
Adjtttant-Genp'I'ClloFIhe 'luI of Georgia:
JR :-Herewith I submit my report for the year ending, 'eptember 1, 1 95ince my last report this re~iment bas been stren'~thened by the addition of a tenth company, lettered" K," located in the city of Atlanta, and a signal corps, aloin the city of Atlanta. By reason of this additional company, a third battalion bas been created, and Captain Clifford L. 'mith, of Company B, has been elected Major, and will be assi<>'ned, upon being commi8sioned~

112
l the command of thi battalion. In point of number8, the regiment i about of the same strength as shown in last report.
The character alld scope of the instruction during the last twelve months ha ' been considerably improved over that of last year. The coml anies meet for drill once a week.
The regiment was not ordered into camp during the present year, but at its own expense went into camp on St. ,'imon's Island for one week, beginning July 13,] 95. This encampment not being under the auspices of the 'tate, but being at the expense of the officers and men, the discipline and work was not up to what it would have been in a regular encampment, but we derived much benefit from it-some companies more than others. During this encampment the regular field day.exercises of the regiment were held. The contests for the difl'erent honors to be won on this occasion were entered into with much earnestness and zest. The regiment was honored during this encampment by the presence of the Adjntant-General of the tate, the In'spector-General of Rifle Practice, the Assistant Adjutant- 'eneral, and t.he A sistant Commissary-General, also the Private ecretaryof the Governor. All the companies of the re~iment attended this encampment, with the ex-ception of olnpany .
The field, staff and line officers of the re iment located in Atlanta hold monthly meetings, and at these meeting matters relating to the admini tration, discipline and instruction of the battalions and companies are di cussed, with the intention of obtaining the same work, and the 'ame class of work, from each company and battalion.
'rhere has been a marked improvement in the matter of employers perJDittin~ their employGs to attend to their military duties during the year. This was evidenced by the fact that on more than fifty applications made for permi sion for employ(\s to attend camp at, t. imon's that in but one instance was this permission refused. This, in my opinion, grows out of the fact that the 5th Regiment is no longer a " fuss and feather" tin-soldier organization. Business men see from the conduct of the companies, when on duty, and from their uniform appearance, that they are organized for the purpose of protection to life and property, and not for prize drills and other sham perform.Dnces, and the sooner all such demoralir.ing influences are removed from the -Georgia volunteers the sooner will this encouragement and support come to us from all classes of citizens of the, 'tate.
The last General Assembly did us irreparable injury by cuttin!! down our already small appropriation. Our force is much too lar~e for the amount of support the tate gives. Were it not for the appropriatIOn from the United 'tates Government, it would be impossible, with the appropriation that we get from the tate, to maintain a force larger than one-fourth of what it now is. And taking the two together, it would be well if every company in the . tate which fails to come up to the obligations imposed by the mIlitary laws of the tate was promptly disbanded, that those companies which are thorotl~hly efficient mIght be kept so. There is nota regiment in the tate which would not be improved by disbanding one or two of its companies, with pOt!ibly one exception; and if this were done, and officers and men were given to understand that they would receive pl'actical encouragement in proportion to practical dessert, all would be better.
I earnestly recommend that no other companies be enlisted in the service {)f the tate until those that are now in it are properlyeqwpped. There are but few companills in the tate that could do practical service for three days, .as now equipped, without suffering. This hotlld not be. Our laws require a certain amount of work from officers and men, and they should be given all arms and equipments necessary to the performance of this work, and then should be strictly required to perform it at the time fixed by law. Every return and report required by law should be demand d promptly at the time fixed, and every failure should be treated as for a disobedience of orders.
I beg to call attention to another great want in mo t sections of the tate. :Neither companie , battalions nor regiments have adequate quarters. ome provision should be made by the 'tate toward assisting these organizations to have quarters in which at least to safely keep the valuable ]?roperty of the
tate contributed to it by the United tates. Those compames which have

113
adequate quarters are heavily taxed to keep them. In a very few in tances some of the State organizations own armorie , and it would be well for the
tate authorities to at least begin to devise some plan by which permanent armories might be secured at military centers. There shoulrl be at least one date armory located at the capital of the tate, where the tate could store its ammunition and its arm, and other equipments not in pos ession of the companies. The basement of the capitol is not a safe nor a fit place for the keeping of the valuable stores furnished annually to the 'tate by the general goI' rnment, even should we be willing to continue to maintain our military on the small support allowed it by that government. Again, it is time for the 'tate to begin the furnishing of uniforms, blankets, aDd overcoats tits troops. The furnisbing of overcoat i parti ularly important in this section of the tate, where there is not a night in the year where guard duty could be performed in comfort during an entire night without an overcoat. fen who are willing to enlist for a length of time, and place themselves in ab o lute obedience to the authority of the 'tate, hould not be expected to give to it Illore than the necessary time to prepare for tbe discbarge of the duty and tbe time involved in the discbarge of that duty when occasion Illay require. If this was tbe only expense involved I ould within ix months dO'lble the enli ted strength of my regiment, and make it to Georgia wbat Xew York's itb, Ltb, and 13th Regiments are to .New York and what Maryland's 5th Rel!:iment is to Maryland.
We Deed men who are able to do military service, and who are willing to do militaq service, and most often tbis class of men are not able to give to tbe tate more tban the time involved. 'fbe term of enlistment hould be increased to at least two years; and examinations for commissions should be more carefully attended to.
With tbese recommendations I be'" to close this report, apologizing for its crudeness, and witb t be hope tbat before another year has passed at least some of these recommendations may receive favorable action.
Respectfully suI mitted. J OIIN .'. CANDLER, Colonel ommanding.

IlAR.ICTER AND OPE OF IN TRCCTlON llIPARTED.
Drill.-Tbi ha included squad, cOllJpany, and battalion drills, the companY drill including extended order and guard duty. In all of the e particulars tbere has been, I believe, marked improvement.
Target Filinll.-'l'here ha al 0 been instruction during the lattet part of tbe pa t summer in target practice at a I'ery uperior range, which bas about reached completion. Tbi rau"'e i the re ult of earne t, work on the part of the officer of tbe military of thi city, and was made po ible by the generous a 'istance o[ tb county authorities, wbo had done, under the direction of the county engineer, by convicts, most o[ tb neces ary work of gl'ading, draining, throwing up abutm nts, etc.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to complete the work early enougb to have hhe ra~e inspected and accepted by the State a an official range durin'" the

114

prescribed target practice seaSOll. Hence, no r ord work ha be n done by

tbe battalion, but a can. ideraLle amount of resulting in the devolopment of the capacity

The bnlk of theammnnition usel] has been loaded by the men, details [or that

work having been made weekly from each of tbe companies. In tbis way the

men have lecome familiar with tb whole proces -derapping, cleaning, and

reEi~ing shell, moulding, grea~ing, and resizing .bul1et , 8.nd capping and r -

)oadlnO'.

Adminil'tration.-Tbis important branch of the work of a oldie1' bas become

now fairly weH knoll'n , not only by all ofHcere, but the non-commiE ioned

am I' as w II, and in matters of nddre ing, briefing, and tn\ll mitting and

have b en kept up durin'" the preceding year.

Intn/etlan .Meelillgs.-Tber ba I'e b en monthly meeting of the board of

administration and drill, have been dLcus~tJd and appropriate ac:tion bad

thereon. Tbere have been also in each of the companies many instruction

meetings for the non-commissioned om 'er .

Field and Camp Dltly.- trictly spraking, tbere has been none of tbis sal'

d'lring one nigbt, February 26, J '95, wben the Battalion, togellH:r wilh the

other commands of Georgia Yolunteer at thi station, re.1 onded to the ~en

eral alarm agre d upon between tbe military and tlle civil autboritie -11 taps

of tbe fire bell-upon the occasion of tbe tbreatened riot growing out of the

feeling engendered by the announ ements conceming a lecture to be given by

one 'Ialtl-ry, who styled IJimself I, Ex-Prie. t." A full ane! detailed report of

thi 0 currence was rendered to you, through the uperior officer in command

at the time. A guard was maintained at th araenal during the ni~ht f Feb-

mary 26. My repOlt of the affair of February 26, ma Ie to the commanding

officer on :\Tarch!J, 1895, explains how t.he alarm as given is not as di tinctive

a it should bE', t!Jere being five or six number. of fire alarm boxes tbat re-

quire eleven taps of the bell.

PCl1'Ildes.-There have been quite a numb I' of the E', and while they general1y

ard the mean of imparting but little instruction, yet there lIa alway' b en

more or les of battalion Irilling durinO' and following them, and hence they

are menticned under tbis head.

The quarterly reports heretofore rendered have already conveye'.l to you the

detail of all of tllE'se pain ts.

Di.,clpline.-Thi., I am glad to say, continually improves and while Dot yet, of c ur e, anything like) l-rflct, yet rclatil' l~', it i O'ood. J b lieve the ofllcers and men mol' thorougilly understand the military meaning of tll word than eyer b fore, and more fully appreciate tbe nece sity for living up to the tand-
aJd it i desirable to reach. E,lliciency.-I believe the Battalion to be as efficient as any command in tile
State, an(] in ~ome respe -ts the uperior of any. Tbe departments are well rO'Rnized, with apable, and to some extent, experienced omcers at their heads.
The res) onse made by the Batta;ion to the rail on February 2U, above mentioned, illustrate and proves that the men and omcer are to be lepen led upon at al1 time for prompt and willing service. While the total number responding was 153 IT.en, yet con. idering tho e ab ent from the city, and out of bearing of tbe bel1, and who took tbe alarm for a fire alal'ln, tbe attend_nce wa good
ancl proml t.

RECOM)l EKDA1'lOKS.

I bee: to refer to tbe re ommendations made in my rep"rt of last year. The
requiSition therein madE', for certain necessary equipment, has only been partiany filled. It is very important that this omll1and should be tboroughly eqnipped, and without further cost to it, con idering tbe enormous out~ay it

115

ba marIe up to the pre 'ent time, lor the benefit of the 'tate ano itself. I

earne tly re om mend that no new c mpanie~ be orgauized, until all of tho

now in the tate be armed and equipped in the OIOt'!' of their eniority. It i

much better to have a f II' command' in the tate, well orgauized, armed and

equipped, than to ha,e IJJany inefficiently provided for.

[also recommend that, in armin<t llua equippin" a command, such of the

veterlln members as may be designated by the commlllldin" officer a efficient,

should be taken into con ideJ'lltion, along with the enlisted str ngth. Accord-

in~ to tbe rule of tbi command, any active member who ha seT\' d even

consecutive year a such, may, upon hi IHitten applirati n, be placed upon

t he veteran Ii t, and ball be exempt from all parades and meetings, but hall

pay annual due, and b amenable to court of inquir;' alld ollrt martial.

Tbere ar a Dumber of these on the roll f the corp, who are among the very

b st oldi rs in this rOlllmalltl. w Il tmined, well drilled, and who tak active

part in parades anclmeetings, of their own volition. T contend that such men

shon!d be regard I a part of the II tive for 'e, and should be armed and

SAVA NAJl, GA., Jnly 16, 1895.
Col. J. Mel. Kell, Adjutant- General oj the Stale, Atlanta, Ga. : Sm :-In accordance with General Orders o. 11 f!'Om your office, I ordered

AMP.
In accordance with previous verbal ordera, at 6 p. m., July 5, Major Brewer placed on duty a temporary guard detailed from the Troops that had then arrived, to serve until regular guard mount, July (j.
On my arrival in camp I pllblished Order '0 I, assuming command and naming it Camp Atkin on in honor of his Excellency, the :rovemor. 1 enclose copy of rder '0.]. marked Exhibit No.2, and 01 Order l\ 0.2, marked
Exhibit '0. 3.
Toe camp was locat"d at 'leldrim, a small village on the line of the Cen trall'llilroad, seventeen miles by rail from avannab, and about eighteen and a half mile hy dirt road. At tbis point the avannah and We tern railroad comino- from Lyon joins tbe entral railroad. At Lyon the 'avannah and We tel'll railroad connect with the . A. M. railroad from Americus and )1 on to-omery.
The tents were pitched in a pine grove about 500 feet to the south of the track of the Central rll.ilroa I and avann:tb and 'Vestern railroad, and about fifty yards from the swamp of the Great Ogeechee, on its soutb, and about half a mile from the swamp of the Little age chee river, on it north. Wooden me s she ,kitchens, bath-houses, stables, and sinks were immediately to the west of the tents.
The main draina e was by a box sewer below the surface on tl e north of the camp, which ran east into the Great Ogeechee swamp, with a fall of about fvUl'teen feet. The Furface drainage wa partly by a fall of about foul' and a balf feet to the outh and north, but mainly by percolation throu h the sandy soil.
There were heavy fall of rain during every day and night for five days, but they produ ed no inconvenience from Ulll\l or stmding' water.
There were no fleas, no flies, and no mQsquitoe , and although the sun was hot during the day, there was generally sufficient breeze to temper the heat. All the nigbts were comfortably cool.
The water was h'om an artesian well, pumped into the 50,OOO-gallon tank of the Central Railroad ompany and thence piped to the baths and kitchens. There was no case of sicknes attributed to its use, and it was Ilnanimously commended as healthfnl and palatable.
Tbe parade ground wa an 01(1 field, overgrown with grass, immediately north of the Central railroad track. It \Vas perfectly level and amply large for the movement of a cavalry reo-iment.
To the ea t of the parade ~round was the rifle range, with a width of 50 feet and a length of 500 yards. Back of the target the Little geechee wamp extended for two mile. containing ufficient water to be tmpenetrahle for man or beast. By going back into the parlld ground (when not in use) a ran e of 600 yards wa obtained, and a range of ] ,000 yard wa obtainable.
The tilting wa conducted on a gra yavenue jnst south of and parallel with the entral railroad track.
Before concludin reference to tbe camp site, I beg to call attention to the hct that the use of the land was due to the courtesy of ~I~jor P. W. Meldrim, it owner, and that the buildings were all constructed at his expen e, at a co t of over $3,000 He also contributed the f1~g'- taff, the fnel, and the butts for tbe targets n the rifle rang;e.
I beg also to commend the el'orts of Quartermaster- 'ergeant A. . Eichber'g, who devoted fully four weeks of his valuable services as architect, to the planning and preparing the camp, to correspondence with the 1. C. Li'ley ompany, of olumbus, 0., and with each troop, in o-etLing uniforms for the re mits, and in making arranl!ement with the railroads for tran pOI'taLion. His service in camp, and those of Captain J. . Wright. Regimental Quartermaster, were \'ery efficient and valuable.

A prize of $10 was given to each enlisted sharpshooter and of $5 to each en-
listed marksman. Troop A made au average score of 792-10 ag<linst 46 in ]893. This record i
wortby of emulation by every company in the South.

DISCIPLINE.

The quiet, cbeerful performance of evel'y duty was even more marked in tbis
than in previous encampments and, with a larger percentage of experienced men, practical results were more easily and eflkJently obtained. The percentage of enlisted men on Troop rolls who attend camp was smaller than it
should bave b3en, but it was noteworthy that very few left during the tour of duty, and the morning reports showed an increase every day of the encamp-
mellt. In addition to their military Juties, the band played for an hour before retreat
each night, mucb to the pleasure of all in camp.

SICK.
There were no serious cases of sickness in camp and, with ooe 01' two exceptions, no sick mao was absent from duty more than 2-1 bours.
Tbe Surgeon's report will be wade direct to tbe Surgeon-General.

EXPENSES.

'rhe cost of fora~e in tbis, as in all previous encampments, bas exceeued the

present commutation of 25 cents pel' horse pel' day. With the utmost care and

economy it costs 33 cents pel' horse pel' clay.

~JH :-1 hal'e the bOllor to submit hel'ewith my report of target firings of the rel!im('nt dnring its tonr of duty at Camp Atkinsou, ,July 6th to 12th, inclusile.
Pursuant to Order Xo. :?, Camp Atkinson, July .'lth, ]800, I proceeded to fire the sel'eral troops in tbe order named, first at the distance of :20J, 300, anti 500 yards, continuing Thursday and Friday with the skirmi~h firings at unknown distances, and concluding with t.he 600 yards firings begun at 5.1.)1. ea('h day and continued until finished. Every shot was fired in strict accordance with regnlations of this State governing' the flame. Skirmish runs I conducted mounted witb the bugle signal, which I alll happy to state worked satisfactorily. [would commend the troops on their prompt appearance on the range at tbe hours Damed, and am indebted to the COll1mandinl! officers for their cheerful assistance in enabling me to conduct the firings in a qniet, ortlerly manner, thereby causinl! no delays 01' confu"ion as in former years.
)] uch interest was manifested in record firing this year, which is attested hy the marked improl'('mcnt in the whole regiment as compared with that of Camp ~orthen of ]1,\)3. :-;pecial attention is called to the rnngnificent record of Troop A, for Eurpassing its former eflorts and attaining a figure of merit of 79.:?, as against ..I(U in IH!l3.
This improl'ement is very creditable, and is principally due to tbe extra care taken of their arms, preliminary sighting and aimin~ urills and practice at their home station, and their earnest coacbing. Their record this year stands ahead of anything in the State and if' one they may justly feel proud of.
Arms, I regret to state, were for the most part in a very indifI'eJent and neglected condition, although I am informed some of the troops had only come into possesEion of them a day or two prior to their departure for camp, and some bad lJeen stored in warehouses-a state of affairs that sbould never exist. Tbe carbines of Troops H, D, B, E, F, anel C were in most cases so foul that good resulls were utterly impossible. Tbose of Troop G surely neer! replacing, being worn out, rusty, and partly e<.Juipped with the Buckhorn sight, now obsolete.
Every carbine was inspcC'ted witlJ the" mirror," and defeets shown to both trooper and commanding officer. This matter of care of arms is, to my mind, a very vital one, and 1 would suggest tbat the commanding officers give more pecial care and atteutbn to tbese arms entrusted to their care by the State,

J24
and not render them useles, thrvu"h neglect and ru,t. Troop C's carbine were, with a few exceptions, in good cJnditbn, while thole of Tro:>p A Wdre " excellent."
1 would therefore recommend that a rigid inspection of every carbine in the regiment be made, and the \\'orthless arms replaced by new ones, and then the commanding officers be held to a strict accountability for the preservation of the same.
Owing to the lateness of concluc.ling the firinga I am, with the exception of Troop A, without any fil'ing reports as required by State RE'gulations, hence must ask your indulgence as to my final consolidated report, which I shall take pleasure in submitting later.
I can however ofllcially annOUllce the following qnalifications for 1895: Field and Staff, 3 marksmen; Troop A, 4 sh lrp-shootera anti 8 marksmen; Troop B, 2 marksmen; Troop H ,1 marksman, and Troop I, ] marksman; a total of J9 as against!J in ]893, a markerl gain and one which any rdgiment should justly feel proud of. The enlisted men qualifying as sharpshooters were each presented by the Colonel commanding with *10 and the marksmsn $5 each. Another important matter I would touch upou i.~ the almost gener,tl ignorance of the troopers as to the principles of sighting, aiming, and position drills, without the knowledge of which but little progress can be made at 'l'arget Firing.
Troop A is again the exception in this, as these points 'ha\'e their frE'q'lent attention both at home and in camp. These preliminary instructions should be taught at home stations, either by the commanding officers or some compe' tant trooper detailed for this purpose, and not consume this valuable time on the range which is needed for other purposes. I wonld also most eal'llestly recommend where possible, the erection of rifle ranges for practice, which with the interior h'vops it does not seem to me would be a very expensive or tedious undertaking where land, labor, and timber are so abundant. I am having prep:1.red some points showing the manner of constructing a range, which T will mail to each commanding officer, and I trust they will give the subject due consideration, and bear fruit before the next encampment rolls round.
The range at Camp Atkinson is surely a good one, the top)graphy being very favorable, and with a few minor additions it could be male an excellent range in every respect

Lieutenant O. J. Brown, First (;. S. Cm'alry, Atlanta, Ga.:
lR :-In accordance with instructions from the AdjutantGeneral, U. S. A., I havd the honor to snbmit the following data, obtained by me at the encampment of the First Regiment of Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers, at Meldrim, Ua., July 6th to ]3th, inclusive:
I was detailed on the stafr of Col. W. W. (,ordon, commanding the regiment, and placed in charge of all matters pertaining to Guard Duty.
The Guarrl Mounted daily consisted of the following members: Officer of the Day, two Omeers of the Guard, Sergeant of the Guard, Supernumerary Sergeant for Instruction, three Corporals and nineteen privdtes, one ot whom was detailed as Orderly for the commanding officers. There were six sentry posts. - I gave personal attention to instruction at Guard Monnting. the duties of the Officer' of the Day, and Officers and Non-commissioned Oflkers of the uard. I found at first little exact knowledge of the duties, but before the end of the encampment all ceremonies were properly performed, and a good

125
gener~1 idea of their various duties was acquired, As the men, as a rule, had but one day on guard, I deemed it best only to give the privates a general idea of the duties of a sentinel by day and night, and not require, vl'rbatim, the .. general orders" as laid down in Guard Manual. I found that the sentinels knew what they were on post for, and I have never seen duty more conscientiously perfOl'med, There was no disposition to trifle, and all men showed proper respect for the sentinel. Officers and men showed a desire to leal'll their duties, and, considerin~ the short duration of the camp, much trOgi'ess was made, Leaving out. the technical knowledge of the Guard Manua , I have never seen guard dnty better perfol'med,
I think the oRkers and non-commissioned officers should study their dutiel'l, as laid down in tbe Drill Regulations and Manual of Guard Duty, at home, and be ready to apply tbis knowledge practically when tbey reach camp, Their attention to duty and study in camp leaves notbin~ to lie desired.
With reference to the mounted work of tbe regiment, tbe progress made in riding in line was astonisbing. The last review sbowed, in my opinion, that a montb's steady work would make this regiment as efficient on horseback as any in the regular sen'ice. The individual horsemansbip was most excellent. More attention is needed to individual instruction in the school of tbe soldier, especially the manual of the carbine and sabre exercise.
I noticed that generally tbe troops were a little slow in format.ions, the meu not being ready to step in place at "fall in" at the last note of the call; also tbat too much time was generally taken in saddling up. What most struck me was the serious intention of officers and men to Jearn their duties, tbe bard work all performed each day, wbich is the cause of the great progress made by the regiment.
Very respectfully your obedient servant, JOIlX ~I. .rENKINS, First Lieut. Ninth U, S. Cavalry.

A\'ANNAJT, FebrualY 27, J895.

m:-In accordance with tho law requiring a report from the civil magis-

trate and also from the commander of tbe troops whenever any troops are

ordered out by a civil ma~istrate, I have the honor to report as follows:

At 9: t5 p. m., February 26, the summons was sounded by the city's fire

bell for the military to assemble at their armories.

hortly after the Mayor ordered them to match from their armories to Ma-

sonic Ball, where the police were unable to control a riotous cl'owd, some of

whom, in attempting to force an entmnce inte' the hall bad assaulted the

police, haa broken the windows of the ball and threatened to assault the in-

dividual who had been delivering a lecture, when be came out to return to hi

hotel.

Troop A, First Rgt, Cavalry (the Georgia Hussars), dismounted, arri\'ed first.

Tbey were stationed in front of the entrance to the hall,

'rhe First Battalion Infantry (Savannah \'olunteer Guards) al'l'ived soon

aiter. By order of the mayor they cleared tbe street and maintained about

the building a space sufliciently large to make it difficult for stones to reach

the windows.

The Chatham Artillerv reported they were at their armory and were ordered

to remain there until called for.

As the crowd did not disperse but was constantly increasing by the acces-

sion (probably) of persons attracted by curiosity, the mayor ordered the First

Regt. Infantry to the hall.



Upon tbeir arrival two companies relieved the Guards who were keeping the

treets clear. The rest of tbe Regiment and tbe Guards escorted the lecture.r

and a detacbment of police to the hotel. The larger portion of tbe crowd went

with them but made no demonstration other than jeers and abusive remarks.

The Hussars and two companies of the Regiment remained at the hall until

a calTiage was obtained in wbich the wife of tne lecturer was seut to the hotel,

escorted by a detachment of police.

126

At 11: 30 p. m., by or leI' of th mayor, the troop' returne 1 to their armorie~

and were di missed.

The promptno"s f the troop in a embling and their quiet endurance of

con iderable provocation des I've. pecial commendation.

In conclu ion, I beg to tate that I have mado thi report by order f the

mayor given becau e I \Va the s nior om el' pre ent in uniform; but the

treet had been cleaJ:ed by the Gnards under Colonel ..atTard and com para-

til'e order bad been restored by them and by the Hu~ ar under Captain Gor-

don b fore I was plRced in command. Th '1' dit for pI' ening the peace

should be ~iven to Colonel an'arc! :\Iajor Ieldrim, aptain Gordon Lieu-

The aboye order of dUly wa strictly ob erved during the encampment. DI'fS para(le IVa omitted on FridaY,21 t in t.,owin to a \. ry beavy faH of
rain, The guard mountin", at the request of the two :\[ajor of th First Regiment
of Infantry, wa performed by the com] anies seriatim, and not a, u ual by detai~ from the everal companie. It wa thought that thi practice would create a pirit of comp tition between compani ,that eyery member of ath
company would thus acquire a practical knowledge of the ceremony, and that it IVa better to omit one company ach afternoon from dre para 1e thall to
para Ie a small ompany depleted by the subtraction of it guard detail, The
change w"rked yery well in practice. The two al'tillery companie were required to guard their own camp, The hat bam Artillery, in the ab, nce of order,', hrought no gun to camp. Their
in truction consi ted in company and squa(l movement in mar hing, an I in the ,abel' manual under l.he 'upervi ion of Fi, t Lientenant 0 car J, Brown, Fir't . , avalry, detailcd as in pecting officer an I in tructor.
The Atlanta A rtillery brought two of their guns to camp, and in addition to the aboye movements, dl'illed at tlte manual of the pi 'e. Both artillery com-
panie took pall. in the daily dress parade, and wera form d on the left of the lin, Each company in camp wa in,pecl.ed by Lieutenant Brown. Each

The regimental ystem of ration SUI ply wa duly ob. en'ed, and \\'il.h com-
fort to l.he men; but the detail howing tbe comparath'e cost ha\'c not yet
been obtained. pon the whole, the conduct of the camp was extremely atUactory. The
orders were faithfully obeyed, excellent eli cipline maintained throughont, and full and detailed practical instrnction wa imparted, The, lUall number of officers and men in camp enable 1a more thorough supervi ion to be main-
tained, and in truction and discipline to be more generally and particularly imparl.ed. The greater efficiency of a small camp was demonstrated. At foUl' preceding camp, commamd d by olonel Mercer, the >lg~l'egates had unavoidably larg Iy decl'ease I towards l.he end of the camp. At thi camp
the total aggregate remained pi'll l.ically the same throughout the encamp-

\11 the officer and men discharged their respective dutie with tead~'

zeal and fitleltiy, and de en'e the warmest commendation of the Post om-

mander, who al 0 not with approbation the very ~fficient labors of Lieuten-

ant dcar J. Brown, Inspector and In true tor, and of Captain J_ewi H,

Kenan, Po t-Quartermaster, detailed from headquarters.

The new system of drill in" a regiment by uatlalioDs proved very efllcient.

Greatflr room is given for evolution, anti more oppol'tunity for obsen'ation

and correction. oropelition between battalions was pl.lduced, while l.hat

between companies wa notdiminished. The battalion drills were onducted

with great zeal and efllciency by Majors Karo Nand Lawtoll, of tbe First Regi

ment.

The camp was vacat d about 10 o'clock on the lllorningof Tue chly, June 24.

The pecial train com'eying the Fir t:Regiment of Infantry and the Chatham-

Artillery left the camp site tation at 10: 4.') A. ~r., and reached. avannah at

9: 15 P. )f., without incident.

Al! the troops in Camp :rorthen were for everal day greatly depre ed by

128
the critical condition of Governor Atkin~on, the commander-in-cbief. Tbey were cbe red by the report of bi improvement. On vacating the camp a telegram was ent to the military ecretary of the Governor expres inlr their deep sense o[ gratitude for bis improved condit.ion, and tbeir admiration a soldier for the fortitude and h roi D1 he had di played.
T,here ar everal improvements much needed at Camp "orthen, if witbin the re ource of tbe tate. Tbe train ~top on a pur track nelclr the camp, but no road exi ts along tbe id s of tbe track upon which troops can de cend from eacb car an 1 reacb the camp in regular formation. It i nece ary to pa througb the car before anyavailahL road can be reached. Tbi road i ciruitous and in bad order. A sll'aight, broad road to the rear of tbe camp would be a very gr at improvement.
There are porti n o[ tbe parade ground, e pecially near tbe entrance, which are very irregular, and should be level d. The parade ground is filled wil h 100 e tone and pieces of rock, which interfere with tbe marching; the e could ealiily be raked together and removed. A good many loose tone' and tnmps of tree disfigure tbe ground wh I' tbe tent are pitched. Tbeir complete removal would gr atly improve tbe camp ite. A marked progre is noted in the Cvndition of the kitcben , bath-bouses, and ink. and in tbe general arrangements for the comfort and bealtb o[ the troops, since the fir t opening of the camp. Any observant officer must 'lee tbe great influence of tbe camp life in tl'3ining the eorgia volunteer to take care of tbem elves in tbe field, and in promoting th ir practical u efulness, efficiency, and discipline.

avalry: 1 troop. rtillery: 1 battery.
Dr BA.NDED.
The following companie have been disbanded dut'ing tbe.Year, upon the recommendation of the Advi ory Board: Co. D., 2ud Infantry, tationed at Talbo~toL1; o. H., 2nd Infantry, tationed at Milledgeville; o. 1., 2nd Infautt'y, tatioued at Ea tmau; Co. I, 3rd Infantt'y, stationed at Dalton.
XEW ORGANIZATION.
The following organization were admitted into the "et'vice of the tate during the pre ent year: The Brown Fenible, Columbu, June 3d, a igned to the ...,d Infantry; the Gate ity Guard, Atlanta, June 10th, a igned to the 5th Infantry; the Lexington Light Infantry, Lexington, June 17th, a igned to the 3rd Infantry.
Co. B, Javal Re erve Artillery, avannah, Ga., March 1 tho
A ignal corp ba been organized in the 6th Regiment of Infantt'y and partially equi[ ped in the way of arm, blanket bag, haver ack , canteen, etc., but it i till lacking iu the proper ignal equipment. As stated in Illy t'eport of la t year, ignal property cannot b obtained ft'om the general government and the fund on hand bave not ju tified an expenditure of tbi kind.

5
MED! AL DEPARTMENT.
A in my report of la t year, I call attention to the ura-ent nece ity of a propedy equip! ed medical corp. A well supplied medical che t should be supplied to the medical officer of each regiment and, eparate battaliou. A in the ca e of ignal equipment, the e are not furni hed by the government and must be pureha ed by the tate.
STATE EN AMP)fENT.
The following commands were encamped for iustmctioll at Camp Northen, Griffin, during th month of June:
The 2d Regiment of Inlantry, the 4th Regiment of Infantry, the 5th Regiment of Infantry, the 1 t Battalion of Infan try.
Each organization erved a tour of even days. The detail of the en ampment a to it exerci es and re ult are et forth in the report of Le In pector-General and the camp commander, to which attention i invited. FI'OIll the e it will be 'een that much hard work wa don, and the benefit d rived wa of a,practical nature. It i a matter of l' gret that all of the troop do not have the advantage of a camp experience every year. a far the appropriation ha been only llfficient to pia e half of the force in camp each year. Instruction on board the nite 1 tate monitor Amphitr'ite, for the wo companie of naval re 'erv artillery was had for three days. It is hoped that mOl'e time will be giv~n in the future to this excellent in trllction by the avy Depar'tment. ince my la t report the Secretary of the Navy ha genel'Ollsly loaned, for the use of the naval militia of thi tate, the Monitor Pa aic, which is now stationed at Bruuswick.
RIOT DUTY.
The troops have been called ou!, for riot duty only Oil e since my la t report. Thi, at Columbus, in aid of the civil authoritie in protecting from mob violeuce a prisoner who was under trial for rape. It is a matter of regret that

6

the Dlob ac ompli hed it purpo e, but not while the pri ouer wa. nnder the prote tion of the military. The de-

tailed I' 1ort of thi ervi 'e ha not yet been received. The troop ordered out on thi occa ion were the Columbn Guards and Brown Fencibles, of the 2d Infantry, tationed at Columbus, under command of apt. John D. Little, 2d

Infantry.

FJELD ERVJ E.

It i , pel'hap , not iml roper to repol't undel' thi. headingthemarchofcom]anie "A" and 'F,"2d 1l1fantry, from Macon to the encampment at riffin in June. The'e compani , under ommand of Capt. P. Y. R. Bell (F), and Capt. J. E. P. teven (A), voluntarily made the march instead of tl'Uveling by rail, for the practical expel,jence to

be gained from it. Thi. commendable .. pirit i de el'ving of special mention, and attentiun is invited to the intere ting report of Capt. Bell, the eni I' officer, and to the excellent map of the route traveled, made by Capt. teven.

TAR ET PRACTJ E.

I am gratified to report a continued intere t in thi important pal't of military instruction, and much ha been done by the In pector-General of Rifle Practice t ytematize and advance the work ill hi department. The result indicate a great improvement over the favorable work of la t year, anil an ill pection of tb report of target firing will how a large increa e of harp hooter and mark men.
It i' a plea~ure to again be able, a in my report of la t year, to invite attention to the remarkable ucces of the team from thi tate in the rifle c mpetition held at ea Girt, :N ew J I' ey. The report of Capt. ". W. "iIliamson, Team Captain, forms a part of the report of the Inspector-General of Rifle Practice, and give iu detail the unusual . core made by member of the team. It hould be read by all member of the Georgia Volunteer.
ince my la t report a range ba been con tructed near

7
Atlanta for the u e of the troop stationed there, and the re ult ha been an increa ed intet'e t in rifle firing, Thi range wa built at the expen e of the troop in Atlanta, with a light a , i tance f.'om the tate.
LAW,' RELATI ~G TO THE AULITARY E TALI. HMENT.
I de ire to call the attention of your exc lIeucy to the Ul'g-ent nc e ity for a th rough revi ion of the laws now in ~xi tence affectin the military e tabli8hment. Many of tbe,e arc ob olete, bnt have never been actually repealed; in fact, it i.' difficnlt at time' to a certain what i now law and what ha been repealed, I l' commend that a board of <>fficer be appointed to complete a military code to be submitted t the Legi lature at it next e ion.
ENLISTMENT.
The pcriod of euli tmeut for the Georgia Volunteers, ~xcept in the naval battalion and bo pital corp, is one year. It i believed that it hould be for at least two year for all h'o I ,a in the naval battalion and ho pital {)orp .
ARM', EQUIPUENT A D NIFORMS.
The troop are fairly well armed except the Colored Volunteer, who, with the exception of one company, have the old 50-calibre pt'ingfield rifle. Many of the 45-calibre rifle and arbine' have bef:'n in use for many year and are not really serviceable. The artillet'y needs a complete armament to fit it for active ervice.
The quipmenL and uniform are generally in good condition-. The latter are procured at the expense of the men th msel Ye.. They hould be furni hed by the State. The majority of the troop need overcoat and blanket'. These would be absolutely n ce sary in ca e of field service during inclement weather.
WORK IN ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
I am compelled to again renew my reque t for clerical :a i tance in the office of the Adjutant-General. The work is such that an experienced typewriter and stenographer i

Company "E," of the 2d Regiment, was ordered into Camp with it
regiment, but could not attend. Company "L," of the 5th Regiment, wa not ol'dered into Camp, as it had recently been admitted and was not equipped. Companies "F" and "I," of the 4th Regiment, tation d at Waycross and Brun wick, respectively, were not in Camp on the last day, having
been relieved on account of the distance to be traveled. This fact accounts for the difference of about 4 per cent. between the maximum and average attendance of the 4th Regiment. It will be noticed tbat the trength of the
troops was well sustained to the end of the encampment. "B" Company, of th 5th Regiment, had the largest attendance of anyone company-3 officers and 41 enlisted men.

GUARD DU'fY.

Guard duty was generally well performed. As in every camp, there were many new men who were on this duty for the fir t time, and required detailed instruction. This w given them by Lieutenant J. A. Gurney, 5th U. S. Infantry, who wa pia ed in charge of guard duties during. the encampment. He gave unremitting attention to it day and night, with th
best results. Very oon after the encampment, he was ordered to a distant station in the West, and his written report bas not yet been received. There was some trifling with sentin Is on one or two occasions, but immediate measures were taken to suppress it.
Company commanders hould make the duties of sentinels a part of their ordinary instruction, so that upon reaching camp the men would have a fairly good idea of what was required of them in this respect. Companie "A and "F," 2d Infantry, commanded by apt. J. E. P. teven' and P. G. R. Bell, respectively, weI' thol'oughly trained in this while on the march from Macon to Camp orthen, and the l' suit of this training wa manifested by the correct manner in which they perf rmed these important
dutie !Juring the encampment. Other company commanders had given instructions in guard duty at their home tation, and men of their companie needed but the practical training that can be given only in the encampment or on the march.

DRILLS AND CEREMONIES.
Drills were principally in th schools of the company and battalion. There was one regtm ntal drill by the 5th Infantry. In the extended order. there was a decided increa e in th number of companie that drilled in it over those of the preceding encampment. Company drills after th firs one or two were very cleditable. Battalion drills in those organiz:ltions whel'e their major- had been able to get their companies together from time to time, at home stations, w re fairly good at tlhe beginningaf the eDcampm nt, and there was con tant improvement to the end, though in many companie officel's w re Dot sufficiently familiar with their dutie. a to carry out, without he itation, the command of their battalion commanders. While howing a good knowledge of company drill, ufficient time had not been given to the study of their duties in the battalion movements. Battalion commanders generally understood their dutie , aud there was considerable snap in their drills. In the posting of guides in' uccessive movement. many mistak were mad by adjutants and sergeant-majors. due partly to la k of practic , but mainly on account of not having thoroughly tudied the tactics. sually after dress parade some of the battalion commanders would, before dismissing their battalion ,hav a short battalion drill. On two occasions excercise were held by the 5th Regiment and 1st Battalion of Infantry in extended order movements, illu trating-
the attack or a defen ive position, using blank cartridges. But the gl'ound
at Camp Nort"ben is too circumscrib d to admit of field maneuvers except by mall bodies of men. Once during each week at the encampment, the troop were reviewed by His Excellency, Govemor Atkinson. The formation was brigade in line of mas es. These reviews were very creditable anll few mistakes were observed. '1 hese were mainly of a minor nature, nch as failure to salute at the proper time in passing the reviewing officers, and in some in tances officer were obsel'ved to alute in the mannel' prescl'ibeci
for non-commissioned officers.

PERSO NEL A 0 DISCIPLI E.
The per onn I of the troop of Geo:gia is all that could be de ired in making up a con"ervative, intelligent and strong military force. It membel"' represent all profe sions and employments in the State, and in most organizations, appli ants for admission are ubje ted to close scrutiny as to habits and chara ter before being admitted.
Di"cipline i generally good in its e sential elements. Where it eems to be la king 111 minor details, it can easily be corrected by officers taking the proper action. The nece sity for it is well understood, botb by officers and enlisted men. One of the rna t notable lacks of discipline in this as in otb r camps, was a lack of prompt attendanc at Reveille roll call. While officer and men ar alway on hand for other duties in a majority of the companie , there i a straggling formation at Reveille. This fault was not observed in tb 1st Battalion of Infantry, nor in Companies "E" and "F;' of the 2d Infantry.

THEORETICAL INSPECTION IN CAMP.

The officers of the encampment assembled for one hour each day to discu s different military questions usually relating to the duties and exercises of the day. Some of the battalion commanders instructed their officers in the drill before going out, and tbe majors of the 5th Regiment prepared themselves while in camp for regimental maneuvers.

I STR CTIO AT HOME STATIO "S.

It is found from an inspection of the quarterly returns, that drills in most companies are held on an average of on e a week, though the retUl'Jl3 of some companies recol-d 0'0 drills. This is probably an elTor in making out the retul'Jls. Theoretical instru tion is ,reported in only a few companie. The best systems reported and largest attendance are in Companies "E," of the 1st Infantry, and "F," of the 2d Infantry. For tbe qual'ter ending June 30th, "E" Company had an attendance weekly from 52, the lowest, to 63, the highest, officers and men. "F," of the 2d Infantry, reports the following percentages Qf attendance weekly for the quarter ending September 30th:

August

,

6 per cenL.

92 pel' cent.

"D" Company, 1st Infantry, reports an average attendance f I' one quarter of 0 per cent. "A" Company, 2d Infantl')', reports an excellent sy tem of instruction. Many retul'Jls are incomplete.

POLICE A D GENERAL CONDITIO T OF AMP.

The camp was inspected daily. Every part of it was policed e\'ery day, and it ondition was good. The tents and company street were kept clean, and at all times presented a good appearance. 'rhe method of arrangemen.t of 'the interior of the tent in the camp of the 1st Battalion of Infantry i3 specially to be commended.

Q ARTERMASTER'S DEPARTMENT.
These duties were performed under the direction <of olonel A. J. West, Quartermaster-General, and were carried out in a systematic and businesslike manner without friction. Capt. Lewis H. Kenan, the quartermaster of the encampment, as in other encampments, was harged with the many detail relating to the general supply of the en ampment, the hire of laborers, hoI' es, and of repairs of all kind", and general police and care of the grounds. All tbese duties were discharged by him with ability.

COMMISSARY DEPARTME T.
The sy tern canied out at this encampment was practically th ame a last year. The supplies were in the hands of the regimental commi arie", and w re issued to the troops on requisition. Much attention was given to this mattel' by the Assistant Commissary-General, Lieutenant-Colonel H. F. West, who, in the absence of the Commissary-General, was charg d witb his duties. A full report of the operalion of this department has been made to the Adjutant-General and published in this report.

TARGET PRACTICE.
Target practice was helc1 daily at the encampme~t for those troop who had no opportunity for firing at home ranges. This was under the direction

76

of Col. William Obear, Inspector-General of Rifle Practice, in who e report
will be found the d tail of this year's wOI"k. The most gratifying results are shown, and great improvement ov r those f other years.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

The duties of this department while in camp were performed by officers of the medical d partment of high professional attainments, who devoted t"hemselve to th care of the sick anj to the anitary condition of the camp. A stated in my report of last year, this most important departJUent is JUuch handicapped by not being properly provided with a ho pital
equipment.

RECOMMENDATIO S.

My report to the War Department will be published in thi report, and
I invite a tention to my recommendations embraced in it. To tho e recommendations I desire to add the following:
1. That the hospital at Camp orthen be thoroughly repaired and re-
modelled. 2. That no further troops be admitted into the service of the State
until those now organized are thoroughly armed and equipped. We now have more troops in servi e than can be put in proper condition as to armament and equipment.
3. That a omplete sy tem of property-records be in tituted in the the Adjutant-General. To do this will require additional clerical force.

REM RKS.

I d ire to call attention to tho e remarks contained in my repolt to the

War Department published herewith.

Very respectfully,

Economy, efficiency, discipline and beneficial results were the objects
aimed at and worked for in this department. Experience enabled us to accomplish a gr at deal on these lines, and it is with pride I no'te the improvements from year to year in the State's interest. Captain L. H. Kenan, my assistant, performed evet)' duty promptly, sati factorily and in a busi-
ness-like manner, fOT which I am due him many thanks. I am also indebted to Col. John McIntosh Kell, Adjutant-General, for valuable assistance.
Too much praise cannot be given to Lieutenant Oscar J. Brown, nited States Army, Acting Assistant Adjutant-Genet'al, for the valuable services rendered this department. His ripe experience, military training
and gentlemanly conduct in the discharge of his official duties has been of incalculable value to the State troops, for which many thanks are hereby given him.
His Excellency, Governor W. Y. Atkinson, always t'eady, affable and ~(ind, extended me every aid in his power to make this department a success. I have the honor to remain,
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, ANDREW J. WEST,
Quartermaster-General of Geor,gia.

REPAIRS. ETC.
The usual repairs were needed 'on the buildings, water pipes, etc., but <lid not find it necessary to whitewash all the buildings.

RIFLE RA GE.
After putting the range in order, I proceeded to repair the target pit and catch butt, and found much work needed on both.
The trouble heretofore cau ed by bullets going ovel' the butt and into th field beyond has undoubtedly been caused by the rocky surface of the ground between the target-pit and butt. The levation of thi piece of ground at the base of the butt is considerably higher than the target, and lop s down to the pit. giving an angle of about 60 degree, and
a it i natural to suppa e that when a bullet strikes the ground, it would be stapp d, but the surface of the ground being so very rocky and it angle from the pit to the butt so grcat, au ed the bullets to ricoch t or glance over the butt and often fall into the field beyond.
To overcome this trouble and danger, I found it necessary to furrow or grade the ground for a distance of twenty yard just in front of the butt.
The old pine pole butt having about rotted down, was beyond, r pail', and I de med it a waste of time and money to construct a new on in its place, so I built a very substantial butt of heavy po ts and two-inch lumber, placing it about fifteen yards in rear, and higher up the hill than the old one, and grading the g,round in front-as much as our limited m an would allow-hauied the dirt and dumped it in the rear of the n IV butt. th I' by getting an impenetrable wall of earth.
'1'he butt and grading co t about one hundr d and fifty dollars. 'iVithout going into further details, I am pleased to state that the grading don had the desired lIe t, and that the butt gave sat! faclion, as comparatively few, if any, bullets went over it. I am confident that if the grading I began is completed, there will be no more ricochet bullet, thereby ending all dangel' and trouble cau ed by an imperfect butt.
B ILDI G.
I am gratified to tate that the much-needed torehou e for Po t Quarterma tel' tore wa built, and is located just to the right and on a line with the commissary storehou es. My \'ecommendation first called for
a hou e 30 by 40 feet, but owing to the lack of ufficient fund, I had t build it only 15 by 20 feet.
RECOMMENDATIO "S.
The apparatu in the bath-hou e not being very sub tantially put in, cau e no little trouble, for whenev I' a leak oc urs, the water has to be
hut off at the pumping station and that, of caul' e, deprives th whole camp of water while the repairing is being done, which fr Quently take several hours. Now, to stop this nuisance and exp nse, I strongly recomm nd that "'top valves" be put in at each bath hOt1Se, and then the water can be hut off from anyone or more of the houses at pleasure.
I also r commend that a " top valve" be put in on the main line of piping down near the tabl s. This valve can be put in for about twenty'Ii ve doliar .
GE ERAL REMARKS.
Each regimental commissary now has a star hou e, the use of which, during thi tour of duty, saved a great deal of unnecesS<1.ry expense, purchasin'" and hauling in and out of camp.
Para raph 2 of afnresaid General Order was, I am glad to tate, complied with. and thel'eby most of the delay in issuing tents, tool, etc., to the commands was avoided.
It i the de ire of the Po t Quarterma tel' that each Regimental Quarterma ter provide him elf, before preceding his command to amp, with a

82

plan of the company streets, then I can locate each company promptly and

correctly.

There was a decided improvement in the manner in which the com-

mands were located during this tour, and the Post Quartermaster takes

pleasure in cal1ing your attention to the prompt and military manner in

which the Fifth Regiment and First Battalion got down to work, for in a

very short time after entering camp they were in order.

The camps have taught the troops much on this line, fOl" during the

tours of 1 92, 1 93 and 1894, it took 'Some commands anywhere from six to

twenty-four hours to get located and in shape for duty.

lowe my usual thanks t'o Quartermaster-General A. J. West and Lieut.

Oscar J. Brown, of the army, for their goodness to me whenever cal1ed

upon.

Your ob dient servant,

Commissary Department of the State of Georgia for the year 1896.

In obedience to General Order No.7 issued from the Adjutant-General'.

office under date of May 11th, 1896, I at once interested myself in doing all

possible to enthuse and awaken all interested to the importance of the

work before us, and looking to the prompt and careful attention of all com-

mi-sary officers. On May 2Qth I wrote to the regimental and battali n com-

manders of commands going int,o camp during the then coming encamp-

ment, the following letter:

Atlanta, Ga., May 20th, 1 96.

oloue!

:

Sir: In inviting your attention to paragraph No. 22 of Genel'al Order::;

o. 7, issued from the Adjutant-General's office, under date of May 11th,

1 96, I desire to say that it is the intention of this department to do all we

can for the good and advancement of thi very important branch of the

ervice, and in asking your assistan e and help with YOUl' regim nt, I

would like to have you issue such orders an 1 instructions to YOUl" regi-

mental and company commissaries as you may (leem best for the observ-

ance of the above mentioned order.

I will at once communicate, through the regular channels, with your

regimental commissary as to details.

Please advise me as early as possible what 'steps your regiment has or

will take in this matter.

I am ready at any time to render any assistanc 01' suggestions to any

one Interested In the commissary department, and I expect to be at Camp

Northen as much as possible during the coming encampment, and I hope

to see an intere'St and an advancem nt in this line of work. Very truly YOUl'S,

H. F. Wlil T.

Lieutenant-Colonel and ssistant Commissary-General.

On the same day, to the differ nt commissary officers, the follOWing

official letter was issued:

Office of the Assistant Commi ~ary-General,

Call1o;II

, Cn1JlIlI;s.'Ol'!J, - Ref/ilJlcllt, III fa 11 11'1/ (lrnl'rt;o 17071t1I/r,.1''':

Sir: I d sire to call your careful attention to paragraph 10. 22 of

General Orders o. 7, issued fl"Om Adjutant-General' office May 11th,

1 96. and to the follOWing suggestions which may b of service to you in

successfully and satisfa torily carrying out your important duties during

the coming encampment.

3
Fir t, I call your attention to that portion of paragraph o. 22 which reads. "Regimental commissaries will precede their regiments to camp with the nec sary rations." From thi you will see the importance of at once putting yourself in communication with company commander's, in order that you may know the number of men you will be expected to provide for, and tOI' the purpose of getting any other information you may desire from that SDurce.
It is suggested that you ask for bids from dealers at your home or elsewh re, for such staple articles, in bulk, as you may I'equire. Perishable stuff you can contract for at Griffin, to be delivel'ed in any amount and a~ needed.
In this connection I respectfully call yoU!: attention to that portion of the report of Acting Inspector-G neral Oscar J. Brown, on page 2 of the Adjutant-General' report for 1 95, which relates to the commissary depaltment.
In taking your daily requisition for supplies, etc., from the different company commi saries, you will take them in duplicate, and at the end of your tour of duty, you will furnish this office with a full report of yoU!' work, attaching thereto the originals of the r'equisitions received from company commis"aries, that I may be able to intelligently ,figure out the exact amount required to f ed each command. To do this, and to be able to settle correctly when your tour i over, it is very important that you l,eep a strict and COlT t ac ount with each company.
In cltse any company should receive a donation of rations, it is suggested that you give them credit fOl' such donation at price you would have to pay for such articles on the market. In making purchase, it w uld be well to contract as near as possible for just the amount needed, with the undel'standing that you may return such things as are unused.
It i my intention to go to Camp orthen one or two days in advance of the command, and will then, or at any time, render any assistance in my power.
You, no doubt, ee the importance of your wOI'k, and the nece sity of takin immediate step~ to carry it out successfully, Very truly your,
H. F, WE T, Lieutenant-Colonel and As istant Commissary-General.
Then the above lettel's were followed up by Official Circular No, 1. dated :May ~5th, from this office, which read as follows:
STATE OF GEORGI, Office of the Assistant ommi'Ssary-General,
Atlanta, Ga., May 25th, 1 96. ('ir,'''/'''' Yo. 1:
In view of the appr'oaching annual encampment of the Ge rgia Volunteer at Camp orthen, this department, in addition to official I tters ent out May 20th, 1 96, to the regimental command rs and regimental ommisarie , respectfully invite the attention of the regimental, battalion and company commanders and commissary officers to the very great imp rtance of immediately taking steps f I' the proper and economical subsistence of the tr ops of their commands, as per paragraph No. 22 of General Orders No.7, i sue 1 from the Adjutant-General's office May lIth, 1 96.
. Thi~ being a new and v ry important feature of amp duty with a good many, and being vel-Y clesirou of having the order carried outsucce fully and sati factorily, the following" suggestions are offered:
The supplies (staple articles) should be purchased by regimental and battalion commissaries by contra t from the lowe t bidder, and hould be in the proper pIa e and condition on camp g-round in ample time to prC\'ent any trouble or incoD\'enience on arrival of troops.
Regimental and battalion commi arie should have competent and

reliable men detailed to assist them in the work of issuing ration, keeping correct accounts, etc. They should have on hand the propel' books, requisition blanks, etc., that a orrect account can be kept against each command drawing rations, that the propel' ettlements can be made, and intelligent
reports made to this office after the encampment is over. I would suggest that the commissary storehouses be open at certain
hour' during the day for the delivery of supplies, etc., and that the3e houl' , as well as any other necessary information, be made known to the company commanders.
Perishable articles, 'su h as fresh meats, ice, chickens, butter, etc., will
have to be contracted fol' in Griffin, and upon investigation, I find that the Griffin merchants will take orders for these article3 to be d livered as needed-say, in the afternoon have company commanders s nd in I' quiSitions for perishable things required for the next day. 'l'hese or leI'S can be placed with the merchants and delivery made at the desired time next day, each company's package being measured and marked, thus aving much trouble and work.
You will finel the following table of intere t and help to you in figuring
on your supplies: In camp or garrison, in the field, on the march, 01' when trav ling
whel'e it is practicable to cook, the rations shall consist of the following articles of food: Meat, bread, freSh vegetables, dried veg 'tables, coffee 01' tea, sugar, cheese, vinegar, soap, salt, peppel' and candles.

proper sale', measures, etc.

A torehouse, as conveniently located as can be arranged, will be fur-

nished each regiment and battalion, and it is hoped- that ev ry one inter-

ested in thi very important work will lend a helping hand to the building

up of our department.

Corre pondence will find immediate attention, and any a i tance

cheerfully given from this office.

H. F. WEST,

Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Commissary-General.

Promptly on l' ceipt of these communications, every officer interested'

in thi very important work took hold of their duties and wel'e faithful

in the discharge of every detail.

A great number of the troops being inexperienced in the regimental and

battalion supply system, some anxiety and confusion naturally existed at

first, but a the work moved off and experience wa gained, the system

gained fri nds, and some. who were very much opposed to it, became

ecthusiastic supporters, and I fe I sure that much g od was accomplished,

especially in the saving of time and money.

Two well-built storebou s, numb r d resp tively One and Two, weI'

furni hed this department, and during the first tour, storeroom NO.1 wa

occupied by Captain Walter K. Wheatley with his upplies for the 2d Regi-

ment Infantry, and storeroom o. 2 wa occupi d by aptain Morri

Weslosky with supplies for the 4th Regiment Infantry.

In obedience to ordel's from this office. these officers had their supplies

ill position and ready (or requisitions when the commands anived, and

immediat Iy aft I' is uing ration's for the last demands, they moved out for

Captain J. H. Smith, commissary 5th Regiment Infantry, and Lieutenant

William R. Leak n, commi sal'Y' 1st Battalion Infantry, who promptly moyeu in storeroom Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, with theil" supplies fOI" the

second tour.

Too much prai e cannot be given the e four offi(.ers for their faithful

work ,and untiring fforts to help make tbe tedious work of this department

a succe . Two days before the opening of the encampment, I went to Camp

'ortben and remained there with the exception of two or three days, until

the last tour was over, and, with the different commissary offi ers, a daily

in"pection wa made of storerooms, dinin'g-rooms, kitcbens, and in that way

we ame in contact with the cooks and cooking, and, witbout exception, we

alway found a man in charge ready and anxious to give any information

and t(\ show hi supplies and tbe management of hi kitchen, which in

E:Vf:rjo case we found neat and tempting. The report of the ommissary 5th Regiment hows the exact cost

of feeding their men as follows.

The report of the :Lst Battalion Infantry shows an average cost of
one dey's rations per man to be 56 cents. The reports from 2d and 4th Regiments Infantry while very correct and
explicit, do not figure out the exact cost of rations per man, but all join me
in saying that quite a saving was made, and since the experience had, much
more can be saved ill the future.

RECOMMENDATIOr S.

It has been the wish and desire of' this office to do all possible for the

good and the advancement of its workings, and during the hort period of

its existence we have tried to profit by study, observation, experience and

the suggestion offered by others interested, and we have the following

suggestions to make, which is hope 1 and believed will be of assistance in

this departD:!ent in the future:

First. It is suggested and earnestly requested that when men are wanted

for any office, no matter how small, in this department, that none but

those who are competent and are willing to do their part of the hard work

which may be required for the good of the service, be appointed, for in

this branch of the work all are expected and shoull be ever ready to lend

a helping hand for the perfection of its duties.

Second. From experien e it is found that one of the most important

needs at Camp North n is a suitable locker 01' small storeroom for each

mess-hall in use, where rations can be safely stored away. It is especially

suggested that this matter have attention before the next encampment.

Third. It is suggested by this office that each regimental and battalion

commissary be provided with suitable ration-kits, or lockers, and other

things required for the immediate moving of troops with a stated amoun

of supplies, and that these officers be r qui red to have verything in readi-

ness to move with rations for any number of men of their regiment or

battalion in the very shortest possible time.

Fourth, That ration supply be based on the United States Army regu-

lation's, and that wherever the troops are in the service of the State that

they be required to purchase these stated supplies through the commissary

department, and if oth l' things are used, that they be requil'ed to pay for

th m out of their own pockets, or bought with unused supplies on hand.

Fifth. As it has been learly hown that money a11d trouble can be

. aved by the system employed during the last encampment, the men can be

fed for still Ie s mon y if the supplies are purchased by the State 01' Com,

missary Department at wholesale for the entil'e force on duty, and issued

to them on requisitions through their ree;imental or battalion commissary

and when this can be done, it is urged that it be carried out tricUv,

'

. We thank the fOlll' commissary officers who senred at Camp Northen

thIS :v ar for all their splendid work and attention. and we assure them

tha t their reports and suggestions are apprer.iated, shall be carefully noted.

GENERAL REPORT.
On May 21st, 1 96, this department rec ived the letter of H. F. West, Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Commissary General, which is hereto attached, calling attention to cel'tain important provision which this Battalion for tll tour f 1 92 and 1 94 had faithfully ob rved. This lenter, of course. referred to the then coming encampment. This department, on May 27th, 1 96, answered the communi ation ab ve l'eferred to fully, copy of which is hereto attached, and at once notice were served upon the Commis ary ergeant and the Captains of the four Companie for a meeting of the Subsistenc Deparlment. Each Captain was then l' quested to appoint a Company Commissary, and this having been done frequent meetings were held for tbe PUl'PO e of instruction and consultation. Calculations were made upon the basis of subsistence adopted by the United Stat s army regulations. 1895, section 1253, the suggestions of Lieutenant-Col nel H. F. West, Assi tant Commissary-General of the
tate, and upon the data obtained by experience in the tours of 1 92 and 1 94, the allowance being, of course, for three meals instead of two. Bids were invited for all staple goods from nine first-class houses in Savannah and three of the same hou s at Griffin. The bids of A. Ehrlich & Bro., of avannah, and B. R. Blakely, of Griffin. Georgia, for staple gods amd fresh. daily suppli s, and that of J. W. Bi. hop, of Griffin, Georgia, f I' fresh meats, we'e acceDted.
The ave rag numbel' of men fed from Tuesday, June 16th, to June 22d, inclusiv , was 125. The advance d tail of thi Blllttalion left fOl' Camp on aturday night, the 13th of June, with the camp quipage and store. and by 12 o'clock on the 14th had the Commi ary tores safely placed in Commissary store-room o. 2, and n Monday, fthe 15th of June, all 01!h l' armngements were completed in Griffin for the subsistence of this Battal ion for this t ur.
Th average attendan e for this tour of Ithis ommand, including officers, privates, cooks. waiters and guests, wa 125 men per day (th detail of these data t be found elsewher in thi report). The co t total.

including nO'!: only actual sub i~tence, but transportation for advance d tail, rel1lt of furniture and crockery, etc., calculated upon the amount f money passing dire tly and indirectly through tbis department, perman per day, was 1 6-7 cents. Deducting the above it m , and the co t of co ks and waiters, which again is claimed hould not b charged to thi' account, the co t per day perman on this tour was 56 ents.
'Phe character of the food on the ba is of thre meal pel' day, and th satisfaction to the command, will asily account for the difference between any former report of bhis Battalion's sub i tence, or that of any other organ izati n's I" POl't.
The experience of 'this d partment authorizes the statement, the longer the tour, ,the cheaper the ration, so that the tour of ten days, like that of ] 94. will make a belitel' showing than 'that of seven days, like this tour,
It will also be observed from tbe general report of the Treru urer of this Command, that every ent not appl'opriated to ItJhe Subsistence D pantment actually goes directly fil'st to the sister department, the Quartermastership, for betterment in kitchen and general camp utensils -and nec ssaries, and in no case of any tour since 1 92, has this Battalion not been put to considerable extra exp nse over and above it all wance from th tate, which ha been paid alit of its own treasury, and even then with no emolument to officer or men for the time and private expense donated to the Stat service.
FINANCIAL ACCO 1 '1',

'Ihe accounts and voucher for uisbursements are attached to thi

report, 'Ibis account shows that th sum of $715.54 pa ed under super-

vision and ordel's of Ithis department. The di bursements amounted t

715.43. leaving a balance to the cl'edit of the Battalion of eleven cent.

Vouchers for every item are a.ttached, except in the following in tance :

, egetables and frui't $11.55, and sundry petty ca h expenses too small for

receipts, aggregating about $9.00, a count of which is giv n in detail in

this report.

There wa no onfusi n upon t'h:s tour of Commissary and Qual'ter-

master accounts, except in uch item as rent of furniture and crockery

and the transportation, so far a belth were concerned for the advance

detail. Most payments were m de, as they should be, by dl'llfts with ac-

counts attached, upon the Treasurer of the Battalion, and this of it elf the

department found to be a gl'eat improvement upon the system of pa t

RECOMMENDATION .
After an earne t study and devotion of every member of this department attached t this Battalion, we again re p ctfully urge the attention of the Commissary-General and 'his staff through you, that both in price and celtainty of delivery, a va t impl'Ovement to the service and a great saving to the tate can be accomplished by-
1 t. Establishing a camp oven or bakery.
2d. Purchasing by the Commissary-G neral of beef on the hoof, similar to army contract.
3d. E tablishing two or three new storehou es ,at the 'State camp for the ommis ary Deartments for each ommand on duty, and these entirely and separate from the Quartermaster's storeho Ises.
From experience of this department, it is found quite impracticable to use the blanks and books sent this command by the Commissary-General, although that system is far uperior to anything attempted generally for all the ommands of t.he State. In this onnection, we suggest the use of a duplicate requisition form, copy of which is hereto attached, on which shall be copie in ink each day, or at stated periods from an ordinary cheap day book, the daily requi itions. This plan iusllling greater accuracy and care, and making subsequent tatistics reliable. The invoices for good, with drafts attaohed, or accounts receipted, hould be filed like all other vouchers with each Commissary's report, thus doing away with the necessity of an invoice book.
to the ledger, the Treasurer or disbursing officer of each ommand is suppo ed to keep his own books, and therefore it is unnecessary" in our
pinion, fO!' the Commissary to keep a duplicate set. 'Ihe duplicaJte requisition blank, as used by thi command, with th vou hers and accounting t the Treasurer 0\' Paymaster of each command for its Commis ary, I' lieve. that la t named fficer of thE' a.dditional duty, book-keeping, whioh, if added to his already arduou, undertaking, 'may d tra t from his proper attention to the legitimate care of the ubsistence Department.
Thi command owns its own kitchen kit, that is, a complete outfit for. say, fiye companies (including officers' m ss), but does not own what I may term camp crockery. 'I he co. t and uncertainty of btaining this crockery by rental, the bl'eakag and the miserable worr'Y and delay on the day that camp breaks to check up and acc unt for every cup and saucer and knife and fork far out-co ts the purchase, proper maint nance and transportation of this necessary adjunct to .the Commi sar'Y D partment. There is no reason why the State should not own its own crockery, just as it dea the heavy kitchen furniture, uch as stoves ranges, tc.
Thi command ha enough camp furniture, such as tables and chairs, if pI' perly cared fOl' and apportioned to the staff and the Captains of each company, in the Quartel'm:l t r's storehouse, to render it entirely unnece sary that at each t ur this department should be charged with the rental in some instance of the (} luxuries, and this department recommends that thi furniture be utilized, instead of being stored in the armorer's warehou e, or that the State furnish l:!h ]'equisite numb I' of plain tables and chair.
As it has been termed above in this report, the sister department-the Quartermaster hip-naturally is closely allied to this department, the botJ'ldary line, so far a this side is concerned, being limited by the ration of svap and candles; and without fail, it OCClll'S at ach uc eeding tour that thi department is f01'ced to purcha e about the same number of impol'tant articles. such a tin buckets, brooms, and other necessary article, which. if ordinary care could have been given to the purchases of the tour preced ing, this exp new uld not appeal' in this repoI't.

90
The army ration is mentioned, and is taken as a basis of the calculations of this department, but attention is called to the fact that it is impossible for volunteer troops to live on or live up to the ration or requirement as laid out in the army regulation. Experience bas taught that there must be some basis of supply as to kind and amount of food, and the army ration is simply a basis, which, in the regular army is used and drawn or issu d, but which is not actually used a issued or drawn. The regular army, as well as volunteer'S, njoy and demand variety, and it is commonly credited that our soldiers ar better fed than those of any other country. 1'h per capita allowance is used to the tast to a great extent of the troops or command, and the over-stock is exchang d or sold; therefore th is department finds that it is impossible to do more tJhan attempt to reach a y tern based on the United States army regulation \ hich will approximate its provisions, giving subsi tence, along with comfort and economy.
'l'he menus or bills of 'fare for each meal of the tour of 1 96 are attached to this report as information.
This department recomm nds that the box ystem, that it, when the supplies are pUl'chased in bulk on the calculation on U. S. army ba i f r the wlhole number o[ men, that the goods be livided into five qual p rtion' of ea h kind as near as practicable, and tagged with the company letter and contents; in this command the fifth box i for the officers' me s. Each company, then, and its Commis ary, has the advantage of equal and prompt distribution as on ach day the Commissary draws his on -seventh (if the tour is seven days) of aoh article I' qUired, ,and is credited or
debited at the end of tfue tour accordingly. Objections, ot course, exist
with larger commands than this Battalion, but the principal objection i the uncertainty of rhe numb r of each c mpany to attend encampment. This could en ily be over orne by each Captain sending through the proper authorities, at least a week before duty, the number of those exp cting to attend the tOlll'. trong wooden boxes could then be used, with lock and key, and issued to each company, with the component parts for the ration of the tour, and the d lays and uncertainties of daily weights and requi itions would be materially lessened. This plan worked excellently with this Battalion on this tour.
If this box plan cannot be adopted by other commands, it is absolutely necessary that two or thr e more ommi ary storehouses be erected at Camp orthen, and at the head or in close pl"Oximity to the 10 ation of a h . eparate command. The PI' ent c ndition of the camp storehou e, as to location, is bad. This command was compelled to draw its supplies from storehouse No.2, situated a long distance from our location, and requiring extra guard and longer transportation.
This depaltment returned very few over-articles in unopened packages. and with some open pack::tges which were di tributed to the Orphan Asylums of avannah, while the unbroken packages were ld in Griffin and returned in Savannah, and are found cre lited on the val'ious vou hers. The only credit not yet obtain d is f r certain articles delivered to the lmffet of the Guards Club (list of over-goods attac'hed).
matter of vital impoltance to the Commissary Department of th c mmands of the State, is the nee sity of sending to the camp an experienced advance det3.il one or two day before t'he date of the arrival of its command. In the experien e of this department nothing is more conducive to a successful tow' than a proper preparation and ervice of the fir t meal. It is the very founchttion of the mooth working of this d partmel1t thereafter. In this connection, it is not out f place to call attention to the necessity of a proper recepion of the advanc detail by some officer of the tate on the Totmd, authorized to provide quarters and storeh use for such advance detail, so as not to conflict in the case of the commands occupying the camp for the s cond section f any tour with tho e commands already in camp and about to leave. More satisfaction to the ~tate as to cost and servi e. and more omf 1-1. and success to the individual command, is attained by proper separation befor entering camp. than any other plan in our experien e.
This experience now eu::tbles tlhis command, 0 far as this department

is concerned, to move with kitcben kits, utensils and every appliance and nece sity for t n days' en'ice, on five or six hours' notice. '1'his state of preparation and military readines' has been accomplished only by long experience and earnest work of thi departm nt through the C mmi ary
ergeant and the Company Commi sa.rie. The fitness and worth of thos atta hed to thi command never having been more apparent than on this last t ur.
To Company ommissary L wis H. Mercer, ' A" Company, this del artment 0 ves a compliment f l' the best kept requisition book. To all the Company Commissarie and the Commissary Serg ant it Should render the ver,dict of "well done, good and faithful servants."
Hereafter this deparment recommends, so far as this command is concerned. that no Company ommiss:1rY should be appointed who cannot g with the advance detail and remain on duty thl'oughout the whol tour.
It is fUlther recommended that t~er hould be a camp stenographer and typewliter, with macbine and paper furnished by the tate, that copies of all ordel's and pro ceding in this important department of the
tate ervice be preserved for tJhe good of future bOlll's, and not at the extra expen e and time of its willing and unrewarded officers.
This c mmand offered to its cooks a small prize for exc llent service !Jromptness, namely: the alarm clocks purchased from L. Adler, Savannah, and it must be said that these cooks did most ex ellent work on this tour.
To Lieutenant Oscar J. Brown, Assistant Adjutant General, Colonel H. F. West, Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Commissary- neral of the
tate f Georgia, and to Captain Lewis H. Kenan, Po t Quartermaster, amp Northen, and to Licutenant J. F. Kollock, 1st Lieutenant and Quarterma tel', and H. E.

ment Infantry Georgia Volunteers. In accordance with general orders, I, with my Sergeant and cooks, arrived at Griffin June 7th, two days prior to our tour of duty. Found the commissary star houses in good shape, and occupied TO. 2. in accordance with ordcrs.
I took with me about one hundred and fifty dollars worth or supplies,
can i ting of heavy and staple groceries, knowing that mon y wa to be saved by doing .
uch articles as bread, vegetables, ice and milk were purchased at Griffin. Our meats we had Shipped daily in refrigerator boxes, thereby saving ometbing, by rea on of purch'asing at Wholesale, and securing the best of beef.
An in pection of the companies of OUI' c mmand resulted as follow Company "B."-2 men, 3 officcl' and 2 cook. Their accolAnt with the

92
Commis ary Department wa 39.55, and their purcha e outside were about. $12. I remitted them $126. 7 net. Found their m s hall and kitchen in g od condition.
Company "1."-22 men, 2 offic rs and 2 cooks. Bought all upplie~ from the Commissary Department. Their ac OllTht was $44.57. I remitted them $61.63 net. Mes 'hall and kitchen exceedingly well kept.
Company "F."-31 men, 3 offi I'S and 2 cooks. Obtained their upplies through the Commissary Department, excepting about $20. 'Pheir account was $50.73, and the amount remitted was $93.29. This m ss hall and kitchen were in a fairly neat condition.
Company "D."-37 men, 3 officers and 2 cooks. Their pur hase~ were ] -, besides their a count of $42.15 with th ommissary Department. Their overplus remitt d was $171.52. Mess hall was kept neatly and in go d order. Th condition of the kitchen might bave been better.
ompany "H."-3 meI!, 2 offic rs and 2 ook. Bought their upplies principally through my department, to the amount of $69.44, and received net $]3 .9. Their mess ball and kitchen was in a cleanly c ndition.
Company "E."-33 men, 3 offi er and 2 c ok. Out ide of a purcha e of $5, obtain d all their supplies through thi department, to the amount of 93.13, and received after paying their indebtedne s $104.79. Mess hall and kitchen found to be in good condition as t neatness.
Company "K. '-31 men, 3 officers and 2 cooks. Furcbased all suppli s from Commissary Departm nt. Theil' accouTht was $110.36, and received net $7 .64. Sp ial attention must be made of t'he cleanly and orderly condition of this mess hall and kitchen.
The mess of the staff consisted of 1 officers, 2 c:Joks an j 2 ho tler , and all supplies were purchased of thi department. Theil' account was 115.74, saving the sum of $1 .51.
An in pection of the food supplied ea h command sh wed it to be of the very best quality; not partaking of delicacies, but of the ub rantial order. I do not hesitate t ay that I consid I' R gimenal Commis arie" a ucce s in the light of economy, and for the provi ion of g ad food. In th", beginning I am atisfied that som of the Qual-t rmasteJ1s were dubiou a to the convenience of obtaining their supplie , but as a n as affair' were systematized, and before the tour was over, expressed them elve' unanimou Iy in favor of the department.
Our hours for opening the star were fr m 5:30 to 7:30 a.m., flom 10 o'clo k to ]2 m., and from 5 to 7 p.m., thu allowing ample time for purchasing needed supplies for a h meal.
A fur her improvement in th department c uld be mad by restricting tbe entran e into camp of grocers and wagons not having pas e. The ecret in the saving is only in the quantity pur based, and if after providing, based upon the \ ants of th command, they do not purcha e thr:Jugh the department, a loss is natumlly the result. I believe after the experiment of one tour stringent ord rs on the line of purchasing supplie onl' fr m the department will be readily and cheerfully obeyed.
I mu t rep at my recommendation for lockers or pantries in the me halls as productive of economy. In the pre ent condition nothing is afe from the sneak thief, or perh"p from the ravenous appetites of the cooks employed. These auld be built at a cost of 5 each and providerl with locks. I sincerely trust that the importance of this improvement will not be under stimat d.
I canno,t cl e this report without expre sing my thanl{s t Col n 1 H. F. W st for a sistance r ndered me, being always willing and ready to do anything likely to promote the efficiency of the department.

De pite ab olute orders to the contrary .:everal command broug'ht uppli t camp with them, and fOl' thi rea n I am unable to furnish an estimate that would in any way be I' lia.bl a to the exact co t of feeding the troop of this command.

Regular hour~ for th,.. i u of rati ns were ob erved, and company commander required to file tbeir requisition for supplies during the afternoon of tbe day before th y were to be i u .
I would recommend that a new and more complete form o[ blank I' quisition be used in future. The form in use by Lieutenant Leaken, of tbe Fir t Battalion is the best I have examined, and seems to m to be ju t wha tine ded.
Tb greater part of the upp]ie~ used in the department under my charge were pur hased in Griffin. Some 'ere bought at Macon, competitive bids being received from several wholesale hous s.

Sir-I have the honor to submit the following report of t'he Com-

missary Deparbment, 5th Regim nt Infantry, GeOl'gia Volunteers, during

their tour of duty at Camp Northen, June 16th to 23d, 1896:

This being the first time the pur~hase of subsistence for the regiment

was placed entirely in the hands of the Regimental Commissary, fairly

g od re u1ts may be rep rted.

With the exception of one company, the instruction to purchase their

supplies from the Regimental Commissary were generally obeyed. The

practice being new to the Company Commissaries, some friction naturally

resulted at the beginning, bllt before the tour ended, the sy tem worked

admirably. The supplies, such as staple goods, were purchased in quantities

at wholesale figures, and delivered to the companies at original cost. On en-

tering camp, Company Commissaries were supplied with requisition blanks,

and rations were issued when same were returned properly signed. On en-

tering camp, ertain hours were establis'hed when the Commissary store

would be opened. It was he special care f the Commissary to see that none

but fresh and wholesome goods were delivered to the companies, and I am

glad to say that no complaints were made to me on that line,

The system has effected quite a saving to the companies of the 5th

Regiment, as you will notice from the average cost of daily rations, found

belCl'w.

TATE OF EOR olA,

MACON, December 31, 1 96. .AdjutClnt- :eneral, Atlanta, Ga.:
ir-I re pectfully submit my report of tbe ., Medical Department, Georgia Yolunteer ," for tb pa t year.
Tb l' have been but f w cbange made and but little progre in completing organization and equipment of th ")1 di al Department and IIo pital anti Awbulan e rp." Owing to the lack of encouragement on tbe part of tb 'tate it ha been found impo, ible to I }'operly equip the Ho pital and Ambulanc orp. and durin~ th year there ha h n but one enli. tment reported.
'While tbe medical offi er are able and willin~ to perform their dutie ,wben calle I on for a th'e work, e\'en at a on id rable 10_ of time an I money to them, y t I find it ilJlpo ible to get the quarter'ly report from them required by the reg,ulatious. This I beli ve can b rem died by providiug a p cial set of hlan" , ucb as is us din th nit d tat s Army, and upplyilJg tbem to tbe medical oill ers. Having m rely to fill out tbe blank. , it will tak Ie tim and will in ure prompt report. I hall forward sample of blank require I, and beg that they may be upplied.
At the annual encampment of 1 96 tbere was a decided improYem nt in tbe medical s rvice rend red.
There was very little sickn s, and that of the u ual type, su 'b as in lig stion, biliolu1ess, cold, tc., 'aused by error in diet, unaccustomed expo ure, etc.
The report of Captain How8I'd 'Williams, Post urgeon during the fir t t ur of duty, beginning Jun 9tb and end ina June ]5, ] 96, is so pertinent aud filled witb so many "'ood sugg ,Lion that I can do no better than to oflel' the followinl?: from bis report of wbich I b llrtily approve:
"It i with pleasure I report the sanitary condition a first-cIa s throu).(h out the entire time. There s med to have been a pirit of enerou rivalry among tbe different companie to ee which woul,l keep the cleanest treet_, tbe neat t me hall and kitchen, and tbe mo_t scrupulously tared-for bath bOil e and ink. Thi rivalry was tarted by t,, of tlJe companie fir t arriving at camp and wa taken up by th other as they came. The conditi n of tbE' camp was particularly gratifying to th medical ofllcer on hi daily round of iu pection, and naturally lightened hi work. Bad the yoluute I' force in camp th stimulu for tbi kind of work whi h bettpr me . ball , kit hen, bath-hou e and inks would give, I am ure Camp Korthen II' uld rival in neatne ,if not in perfection, any of tbe fort of the regular army.
"Th physical condition of the bnilding a Camp Northen i not "'0 d. "'hile there wa a beautiful display of I' cently applietl wbitewa h, there were many defecl . in the huilding that hould be orrected .
, J mu t a"'ain call attention to th need fa. t reroom in conn ction with the mes balls for provisions, dishe ,etc. As the buildings now exi- t provLion are heaped up in one corner expo ed to the weather and dust, and for])) an un ightly \'i w to anyone visitiug th hall. The door and partitiou of many of th bath-house and 'inks are broken down and 10 ti the e sbould b replac d.
" ne particular feature o[ orne of the bath-hou e I wish to call special attention to, namely, the use of a small shower spray instead of tbe lara show rbath.
"From the form r the water strike th bather with the full force of tbe str al1l in the water-pipe II ,it leaves the pumping station. This is n t only uncomfortabl , but positively painful, amounting to tbe regular needle bath, a sl e 'ie o[ treatment used in some plac s [or treating disea es, and in some institulion as punishment for insubor liuation.
"The Im''''er bower-bath i a plea ure; tbe water only fall iul?: from the bath re elToir a f w f et on the batber is invigorating, inviting frequent and prolonged bathing'. Tbi may seem a trivial matter, but a frequent bathin~ is a nece. ary duty of all troop in encampment, every encourag meut that comfort will bring' hould be added, to iuduce the men to take and not avoid the
bath. r would, therefore. earne tly recomme~d that the lar e bower-bath
be sub tituted [or the mall needle- pray now in u e.

"Two year ago I called att ntion to the inconvenience and other faults to

be found in the phy ical condition of the ho pital building. I rear t to ay

nothiDg ha been done to improve thi buildin '. The roof still leak~, tb di-

p D in~ room remains unceiled, and the flooring i bad, warped in many place~,

o much so as to make walking dangerou , while it is almo t impo ible to

write if on walks acro s tbe room, owin to the rocking of the floor.

" While the volunteer oldiers of the 'tat are improviDg every year in effi-

ciency of field ervice, I am ony to ay Georgia is far behind her i.ter

tate in matters pertaining to the care of the sick and woundeu. The i\led-

ical Department is well organized and ha a full corp of surgeon. , phy ician'

who are willing to d th ir shar f th work in the ervice of the. tate, but

tbey need encouragement. Ho pital orp bould be organizeu, and :urni hed

by the 'tate witb every appliaDce ne ded for the care of the ick and wouo led.

The law r quire tbat each regiment sllall have, in addition to tll ur~ ons

and tbe ho~pital attendants, an organized ambulance corps, eparate anll di -

tinct from tbe other companies. It particularly provi.des that detaik, to act

as an am bulaDce corp, hall not be drawn from the different compm:ie .

"In the two encampmeDts I have erved it ha been a matt I' of impo i-

bility 10 orgaDize uch a corp becau e of the inability to get stret hers, medical

che ,uniforms, etc. By per onal olicitations and advertisement in the

paper I have tried to get voluuteers for thi ervic, my efforts being faith-

fully a si t d by my two hospital stewards, bnt witbont succ' . houl!l the

,'tate gil-c til necessary llnJ[orm , et " for fitting out 'uch an ambulan e

corps, I now feel a ured that iD tbirty days I could orgaDize a corp of trusty

men, who woulu willingly enlist for this service, but if they have to purcha e

th ir own uDiforms and go without the proper stretchers, etc., th y will ]IOt

enli 't, a th re is no eDcouragement t go into a lame show, su h a i an

ambulanc corps without the proper appliance for the work. Ilo pital and

ambulance work i not 0 attractive, apparently, as regular soldier uuty, and

thou/l:h quallya nece ~ary, it i imp s ibl to g t men to "'ive tbeir tim and

'In concluding this report I wi h to ,:omment upon the mar h !Uaue by

compani "A" and" F" ~ cond Regiment.

"I caDnot but ex pres my enthu. ia m O\'er the succes of the expe,lition.

Detaile I by the Colon I of the regiment to IIC ompan~' the mell, I felt a g' od

deal of mi..givin s a to the succ ss of the nt l'\ ri ,believing; that the young

m n would not be phy ically able to withstand the unaccustomed hard hip

of a forced march at the sea on of the year it was to be undertak n. A brief

confer nce with aptains Bell and. 'teven oon di~closed the fact to me that

tb y had thoroughly tudied the matt r, aUll weI' tetter jucL!E's of th!' pUH i

hili tie. than] wa, Ev rything, th amount of time to cover the di taure,

th hour of marching, the numb r of mile to be traveled ach day, the

dIetary, tc., had b en studied and fixed. Tbeir kuowledge of what 'I'll indi-

'ated and their onfid nee of , ucce..s was convincinl!", and when I left :Macoll

f [ully shar d their enthusialll. f the Jifty-tbr men tak n from the dilrer-

ent v cati n of life, merchants, clerk students, computers, machinists,

et ., who undertook the march. forty-fonr were young men whoseoccul ations

wer uch a t apparently unfit them for th bard hip to be enuur U.

"Xotwithstanding thi they cam ucces fully through without any phy.ical

injury or mi bap. To sbow the benefit of the march I can. tate that tbe. e

men when tbey camf, into camp were in bettcr physical conditi n than tho e

who rea hed 'amp or then by railroad. While th larger r r cent. of ,.Ick-

11 in amp J.Jortben occurred am n'" tho e who came th !;r at ~t di~ta:l e

by railroad, and the lesser] er c nt. among thos coming the horte t eli tance.

97
there was not a ingle one of the e case of illness amono tbe men who marcbed through the couutry.
"Tbe averageageofthe men who marcbed wa. _3 years, height5 fe t 7inche , weight before leaving Macon 13 pounds, and the average weight on arriving at Camp Northen 136! ponnd. By age, beight, and weight tb 'y W re well fitted for the nndertaking, while the 10 s of weight averaging H pounds, wa not excessive compared with the work done.
"Except for om few cas s of bli tered feet, due to poorly selected sh es, there was no sickne s which could be attributed to marching. An exception must be made to this; there weI' two men who were suffering from the effects of ev re pbysical injul'i s received several years beforehand-one a gunshot wound of the brain, tbe other a gunshot wound anti severe cru h of the spine-who should not have been allowed to go on the mar 'h, and had the medical detail known of their pby, ieal weakne he would never ha\'e allow d tbem to attempt tbe mar h. Tbey gave out on the third day. While the eason wa unfavorable to such an enterpri e, an abundance of raiu pr ceding the tart favored the succe,s of the march.
f The honrs of marching, from 4 to ]0 a. m., were well selected, and occa,ional moment of I' st <;luring th march ren wed any flagoing energy.
"The number of mIle, covered each lay wa well proportion d lor a . ubtantial carrying out of nch a march, the fir t day 13 miles, econd 16 (13 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon), third 14 and tbe fourth 11 ~ miles.
ff The dIet was wholesome, but plain, such as tosustain trength and prevent auy bowel disorder. Only one ca e of diarrhea of any gravity OCCIllT d durin" the march, it being the result of imprudence in eating barbecu d pork and drinking lemonade furnishe 1 the troop on the econd day by the good citizens of Forsyth.
"Tbere i one point of a purel v medical character upon which I wish to comment; that is the use of the Kola ut to relieve fatigue. Thi dru o, in the form of \'ino-Kolafra, had been furni hed the companies and u.ed luring the mal' h with a great deal of benl.'fit.
"After marching fol' two hours the men were halted and two ounce of th wine admini tered to each man; then the march was re umed. In a few moments all ,en e of fatigue and di comfort had pas_ed away, the step became brisk and th men became enlivened. The circulation of th blood would quiet down and the re piration steadi d, by actual examination made in everal cases. The only unpleasant trect, found in three or four ca e,' following the u e of the drug, was slight pain in the l' gion or the tomach and some naus a if the wine was taken on an empty stoma h. This was reliev d, however, by "iving at the sam time a piece of bread to be aten.
In conclu ling my comments upon this march [ can only expr ss tll hope that thi method or J'eaching- amp orthen will be more exten<ivel)' triec] by other companies, if not adopte<l by tile Rtate a a part of the tour of instruction.
aptain 'William in hi' able report make ,everal other good ugg-e tiOIl whicll f do not deem it nece,~ary to eillal'ge upon at present, but the ahove holl's fully th n eds of the :Uedical Department and the class or work doue by its officers.
.A. new ho pital building i need d at amp :Northen, and should be built und l' the up r\'ision of the ~1 dical Department. The pre ent buildin i positively untit to shelter cattle in rainy weather.
'l'he Ih'es of our 'tate troops are too valuable to be ri ked for the ake or ~aving a few d llar1'.
,'ix hundred dollar wou]] build a nflW hospital suitable, convenient and w ather-pI' of. Then by building a trong room to be used a a dispensary, and where th dl'ng remaining over from each ncampment could be left in safety, it would save the. tate tbe cost of tbe building in a few year by retltwing the co t of drugs pur ha.-ed ach year.
1 beg leav to make the following l' commendation and hope that it wiII l' C i\'e the attention it d erve :
It ha beeu customary an I has occurred evera] time during the past year, to order out companie_ for riot duty, or wh re a riot was appr hended, anu ,end them to the cene or the di turbance without a medical o{Jicer, ho.pital

9

leward or medical a sistance of any kind. bould hostilities en ue the men

would be without medical ai 1, and in ca of the duty being that of protecting

a criminal from mob violence, they would be surrounded by a people at enmity

with them, and wl.1o naturally, would be very slow to grant any aid.

When a ompany i ord red ut for such duty, tb ~urO'eon-Gen ral hould

at once b ord red to detail a medical oilicer and hospital teward to

accompany the tro p. H could then detail the nearest available men for

that duty. It would not be sum i nt to bal' tbe commanding oill er o[ the

l"t:'giment to whicb tbe company belong., or ler the surgeon or a. i tant sur-

geon of his regiment out. A ca e miO'ht arise in which neither could 0'0,

hence the. llrO'eon- eneral could letail th near t al-ailable men.

Here again my recomm ndation of pa t years come UI. 1'he nrgeons

Sir-In compliance with regulation I have the honor to submit the following report of the opera1ions of this department for the target year of 1896.
THE PRE CRIBED SYST"RiVL
The system remains practically the same as publi hed in tate Regulations of 1 95, with the exception of a few minO!' change as to details. authorized in G n ral Orders o. 11, 1 96, A. G. 0., the main feature of which permits a soldier t fire for record as many times as he cares to try.
11 record practice this year has been held in accordan e with the regulations.
The change from the old rule of not permitting a soldier to improve his score, having once tiI-ed for record during the season, was made after conultation with a number of officers most interested in rifle firing, with a view of encouraging the men by holding out to the poor shots the hope or gaining, by constant practice, the coveted honors, and to those. who .had qualified, the chance of in rea ing their record ore. The leslred effect has been realized to a satisfactory degree in all cases wbere the men have

99
had an opportunity for practi e, and the unusual large number of sharpshooters and marksmen for this eason atte t the wisdom of the change.
As the limited upply of ammunition is the greatest hindrance to practice in thi tate, I would recommend that paragraph 5, General Order No. 11, 1 96, A. G. 0., be so amended that a soldier firing to improve hi record may discontinue his score at any range wben in his judgment it is improbable for him to excel his previous score.

In addition to the State range at Camp Northen, there are now ranges at Savannah and Atlanta which have been recognize 1 as ranges for record; a range at ~eldrim fOl' use of cavalry, in camp; a private range at Augusta whi h ha also been recognized, but use of which has been enjoined, and :l range at Albany which has not been completely equipped. No record firing ha been authorized on the latter range as yet.
Experience justifies me in recommending the gradual di use of the tate range at Griffin during encampments and th establishment of local J'anges at all points where at least two companies are stationed. Thi plan has been adopted by the Atlanta and avannah troop, and the excellent results already obtained is a guarantee of its superior advantages over the old rul of having all record practice on the State range. When men are compelled to fire for recol'd on the tate rang during encampments, it is always done at a gre<1.t disadvantage-every company being rushed through the different ranges to make way for another, in order that each organization may be given an opportunity to fire befor camp breaks. Tihe fact that most of the men have had no preliminary practic , and there being no available time at camp fOl' such instruction; the state of excitement due to the sudden change from home to field service, and the pI'otest of battalion commanders against the nec ssary weakening of the c mmand by the absence of a company on the range, all tend to put tbe men in a condition totally unfitting them fOl' intelligent firing, and practice under uch conditions is a waste of ammunition and valuable time. It would be far more advantageou to devote the time in camp to only such instruction as cannot well be obtained at born. Local range can be had in most intances at a moderate cost, and theil' value would more than xceed tbe expen e of construction. Most of th unusual large number of qualifications thi year bave been made at bome stations.
PRELIMINARY PRA TICE.
Though the regulations lay particular empha is upon the fact that preliminary practice, both in the armory and on tbe range, mu t be given the men by company officer before record firing is begun, I regr t to stat that but few organizations show any pl'evious instruction at all before reporting for l' cord practice, and in many ca es the officers them elve were no bettel' informed than the men. The id a eems general with th company officer that the regimental inspe tor of rifle practice would give the necessary in truction to the men. which was done on the range as far as practicable wh n firing for record, but the insp ctor shonld not be burdened with these duties, as he has more impOltant ones at that time requiring h is attention than the instruction of recruits as to the proper p ~ition, arrangement of sights, etc.-all of which should have be 11 preVIOusly taught him by hi company officel's before p rmitting him to appear, f~r re or 1 practice, Firing under these conditions is of little value, and It IS hoped that the interest awakened in rifle practice this season wi~l indu~e the company command rs to eliminate such ca"es in future ?y dOlllg. the~r full duty in these matters, and it i believed that once thel~' attentIOn I called to th ubject, they will leav no effort unmade to brlllg about the desired impI'ovement.

HoE ORD PRA TICE.
Record practice has been held thi season on the I'anges at tlanta and avannah in addition to that held on the tate range at Griffin during encampment. Practice was ordered for troops stationed in Augusta, but they were prevented from firing by an injunction,
The following troop have fired for record this season: On tate range: Fifth Infantry, Companies E, F G, Hand 1. econd Infantry. Fourth Infantry. First Battalion Infantry. On avannah range: Fir t Infantry. Fir t Cavalry, Field, Staff and Troop "A." Chatham Artillery, deta hment of. First Battalion Infantry, detachment of. On tlanta range: First Battalion avalry, Troop "B." Fifth Infantry, Field, Staff and compani s stJation d in city. Officers of general staff, stationed in city,
GE ERAL RE ULT .
As th result of the above practice certificates and in ignias have been awardee! to sixty-nine (69) sharpshooters and forty-six (46) marksmen as per Ji ts herewith inclo ed marked "A" and "B." 'I'he remarkable improvement in number of sharpshooters and marJ,smen foi' this y ar over last, whi h is, sharpshooters (1895), 5, for (1 96), 69, a gain of 64; marksmen, (1895), 32, for (1896), 46, a gain of 14, is due solely to the use of local ranges under the new rules. Of this number, one company alone, Company E, 1st Infantroy, Capt. Jordan F. Brooks ommanding, ha qualified 2:) sharp hooters and 17 mark men, against 10 marksmen for Jast season. The work of this command desel'ves special mention, as every man fired for record but one, who was absent fl'om the city, and the large figure of merit of 113 is the I'e ult of hard work with constant and careful instruction. In rifle firing, as well as in the other duties of a soldier, this omp~ny ha taken the Jead, and Lieutenant Satterl e, of the United tates Army, in a recent addl' s to the avannah troop, truly says: "Thi company may well erve as a model for the voJunteer ompanie of this country."
DISTI G I HED HARP HOOTER.
In accordance with r gulations, a celtificate a a distingui hed harpshooter ha' been awarded to Capt. George 'f. Cann, 1st Battalion of Infantry, h having qualified a a harpshooter three ucce sive target year. This is the first distingui hed sharp ho ter's or marksman' certificate i ued to a mem bel' of the tate troops.
EA GIRT TE M.
A team from Georgia entered the ea Girt matches again this year, wh l'e they sustained their former record, and added new laurels to tho e already worn. Out of eighteen matches whi h they entered, they won thirteen (13), tied in two (2), \ hich w re decided against them by the rules. and 10 t three (3), winning of the ational ssociation priz s two and tieing on th third, which they lost under the rules. uch a record ha n er before been made by a team from any tate, and it will be a long time, if. ever, it is excelled. Great cr dit is due Captain W. IN. "Wllliam'on, 1st Battalion of Infantry, team aptain, for the splendid team wOl'k, and peciaJ attention is invited to hi rep rt herewith incl s d marked "C,"
pan the recommendation of this office, the issue of sharp hooter' certifi ate of the pecial a Girt Cia ,to the team ha been authorized by th Govel'1lor in General Orders, a copy of which i herewith inclosed, mark d "D." ,

lUI
AN U L OMPETITIONS.
Annual competitions, under the auspices of the State, between I' gimental teams is again recommended. It will cost but a trifle in ompari on to the timulus it will give rifle practice in each organization.
In order to encourage pmcti on their local range, the citizen and military of Atlanta have subscribed a fund for a prize to be known a "The Atlanta Trophy" to be competed for annually, by teams from each military organization of that city. The first match wa held on 0 tober ]5th, of thi year. and while the entries wel"e mall, due to the latenes of the al'l'angem nts, great int rest was manifested by the troops which promi es better re ults for next year. It is hop d that a prize will be offeree] in each city, where a I'ange is establi hed, in order that every encouragement will be held out to the men to practice systematically throughout the
ea on.
'IG~AL CORP
There are now two signal corps organized in regiments, the 5th and the 6th-the latter having been muster d in since my last report. ince the authorities have permitted anothel" corps to organiz , contrary to my recommendation of la t year, I must urge that a complete equipment be i ~ued them at the earliest possible date. In order to di seminate a knowledge of ignalling, I would I' commend that in regiments where corps have
been organized, that a. detail of at lea t four men and an officer fl'om ach
c mpany, where pra ticable, be made to take a course in signal II' rk in addition to their other duties. To make this detail a succes , a careful
el ction of the men hould be made, accepting only those who are willing and competent to learn.
An act of the General Assembly, passed dm'ing the session of 1895, provide for a fil'st lieutenant of signal corps; uch an officer has been elected and cammi ioned in the 5th Regim nt rps, and the examination of one elected for the 6th R giment is now pending. It is the intention of the act that thi officer shall be an as istant to the regimental in-pector of rifle practice, who is ex offi io signal officer of his regiment, but the language is not clear on this pint. Regimental cornman leI'S should detail thi officel' a a istant insp tor of rifle pra ti e in addition to his othel' c'.!tie .
ADMI I TRATION.
G neral Orders No. 11, A. G. 0., current eries, dil' ts that all corre ponelence, I' port~. etc., I' lating to rift practi e and signalling, shall be forwarded through thi office. Though this regulation has been in force but a -h rt time. I am pleased to tate that the inspectors of rifle practi e have hown c mmendable promptness in obeying same, with the one exception of their annual con olidated repOl"t, all of which were tardy and
orne at this time not yet in hand. I am convinced, however, that the in pector are not wholly to blam , as they all assnre me that it is almost impo ible to get the company comman leI'S to make out and forward their annual firing report, and unle'" the rel)Ort of each company' practice i' had, a con~olidated report would not be of much value.
Thi~ matter of negligenc on the part of ompany commandel's in rendering report, deserves ttention from h adquartel' , and if no way n be found to have thesp. I' ports made promp Iy as called f r, the I' gulation prOViding for such report should b res inded, as it i mOl'e to th intere of th service to have no orders at all, than to hav order i sue 1 and not obe~ed. I need not ay more on this subject, as every annual report of th inspector-general, anel of regimental commander, call attenti n to tile carele sne s of company commander in rendel'ing I' p rt . retul'll~, an wering cOiTespond"nce, etc.. and till no remedy has been founel to do away with this eriou drawback to the ervice.

102

I GENERAL.
The conduct of this department is seriously handicapped by the want of funds, there bein none set aside from the general appropl'iation for expenses which mu t necessarily be incurred. It is respectfully recommended that a reasonable amount from the annual appropriation be placed to the credit of this department, to b spent,. under the supervision of the inspector-general of rifle practice, for ex pens s of administration. inspections, instruction and equipment of i:'ignal corps, construction of ranges, and [,,1' the ('}1r' ltOel repair thereof. 'Viil, ~uch ,r [l1nol it is fll1ulllilted that the improvement to be ohtained woUld more <than justify the expenditure.
If th State is to maintain troops to suppress riot and internal disor leI', it would seem a wise policy, as well as a h.umane one, to teach the olclier the intelligent use of his rifle, for in mob gatherings it is often only necessary to su ppl'ess the leadel's th reof, and when fire is resorted to, it should be ffectiv ly used, and no innocent life endangered thereby, but only tho c should be disableel far whom the shot was intended. To accompli h this ubject, traineel marksmen are necessary.
A knowledging the many courtesie,s extended me by YOUI' office, a well as by Li ut. Oscar J. Brown, U. S. A., Acting In pector-General of Georgia Volunteers, I have the honor to be, sir,
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, WILLIA I: G. OBEAR,
Colonel Inspector-General of Rifle Practice, Georgia Volunteers.

.1IIall/(t. Ga.:
Sir-Agreeable to your request, I have the honor to make my report of
the result of the Georgia team's participation in the matches at Sea Girt, August 31st to September 5th, inclu ive, 1 96.
Tho team, aU from Savannah, was composed of the following men:
Captain William W. Williamson, ompany "A" 1st Battalion Infantry, Geor~ia Volunteers, team captain.
aptain George T. Cann, ompany "C," 1st Battalion Infantry, Georgia
Voluuteers. Li ut. F. C. Wilson, ompany "C," 1st Battalion Infantry, Georgia
Voluuteers. C rporal Fr d {yers, 1st Battalion Infantry. Georgia Volunteers. CorpOl-a1 George Freeman, 1st Battalion Infantry, Georgia Volunteers. Private W. G. Austin, 1st Battalion Infantry, Georgia Volunteers. Private E. C. Mercer, 1st Battalion Infantry, Georgia Volunteers.

10,-

Private H. E. Wilson, 1st Battalion Infantry, Georgia Volunteers. Private C. S. Richmond, 1st Battalion Infantry, Georgia Volunteers. Capt. J. C. Postell, 1st Regiment Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers.
Capt A. S. Eichberg, 1st Regiment Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers. Sergeant W. G. Harrison, 1st Regiment Oavalry, Georgia Volunteers. Sergeant Tbomas Hunter, 1st Regiment Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers. Private J. G. Nelson, 1st Regiment Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers. P,'ivate R. C. Fetzer, Company "E," 1st Regiment Infantry, Georgia Volunteers.
Private J. D. Miller, Chatham Artillery.
Having won the In ter-State Match at Sea Girt last year, and several matches on the Avondale Range in the May meeting, the members of the team were all confident of making a record this year at Sea Girt. After
regular practice for six weeks, twice a week, the team left on the steamship "Kansas City" August 22d, and arrived at Sea Girt on Tuesday morning, tlbe 25th, about 11 a. m. We were at once assigned to tents, and furnished with cots, blankets, etc., and made comfortable by the quarter-
master departm nt of the State of New Jersey. The national ensign and the Georgia flag were at once raised over
the captain'S headquarters. Regular practice was at once begun, and in two rehearsals of the Hilton Trophy Match, we beat the record of 1097 points. T he five days' p,ractice on the range was of infinite value to the
men. The team matches opened on Tuesday, the 1st of September, and fin-
ished on Thursday with the Hilton Trophy. Individual matches were going on all during the week.
I give you the core of the men in the different matches:

The recapitulation of which is, that out of 21 matches to which we were eligible, we entered 1 (counting th two stages of the President's Match as two matches), with the following results:
Won 13, tied 2, which we 10 t by smaller scores at longest distance; lost 3; a total of 1 .
The three matches we did not enter are The Schuetzen Match, with fancy guns; Department of Rifle Practice, open only to in pectors of rifle practice, and Military Revolver Match, 38 calibl-e.
I wish to particularly call attention to the fact that the matches we won were by good mal'gins, while those we lost were by very narrow ones, viz.:
Company Match, by 2 points, 3 to win; Hilton Trophy, on a tie, 1 to win; ummel' Match, on a tie, 1 to win; Meany Match, by 1 point, 2 to win; President's Match, second stage, by 3 points, 4 to win. 1'otal, 11 points.
Eleven points more then would have won every match we entel'ed. The Hilton Trophy Match was shot on ']'hursday, and a worse day f r shooting could hardly be imagined. Shortly after the match started a strong wind sprung up and steadily increased .in velocity to twenty miles an hour, directly across the mnge. At 200 yards, therefore, goo e-eggs -down the line were not uncommon, and wretched scores were made. Washington and Georgia kept close together, howevel', and finished up this distance with Washington one point in the lead. At 500 yards OUI' boys shot remarkably well, Richmond making a perfect score of 35 in the heavy wind, and haVing finished 10 points ahead of Washington, went to the 600 yal'ds butts with a lead of 9 points. At 600 yards the wind, while keeping up it3 strength, became omewhat unsteady and gusty, and windage had to be constantly changed, resulting in poor scores. It was at this range that the superiority of the guns used by Washington showed itself, being sixgrooved and chambered out for heavier ammunition, the speed of the bullet is increased, takes Ie s trajectory, and is consequently Ie s affected by the wind. Just here I would like to say something about the gun used by Washington. InfOl'mation having come to us that the Massachusetts team was armed with a special gun made by the Winchester Arms Company, with certain improvements, giving it an advantage over the regular military gun, and there being some question as to whether the gun could be properly considered a military gun, as required by the conditions of the match, I made a protest to G neral Bird W. Spencer against the use of the gun. feeling conljjdent that an investigation would also bling up the question as to whether Washington could use the gun with which they were armed. A meeting of the team captains was railed, with Govel'nol' Griggs, of ew Jersey, presiding, and the matter fully discussed. In order to place everybody on the same footing, General penceI' made a pI"op'osition to end to the State arsenal for a supply of new 45-calibre 3-groove Springfields, and issue them to each team.' Such a plan, if adopted, would certainly have been a fair test of the shooting qualities of the teams. Massachusetts at first did not wal\.t to accept the proposition, as they had gone to considerable expense in getting their guns, and having given considerable time practicing with them, felt that they had quite an advantage in shooting with them, The other team captains all appeared agreeable to the proposition, and Captain utter, of the Massachusetts team, finally said rather than cause any unpleasantness, he would accept the proposition. Much to the surprise of us all, Major Hal'l'ies, of the Wash-

109

ington team, then took the position that he was aware that he had a upe-

riol' gun and ammunition, that gave him an advantage, and he was not

willing to throw this advantage away. s he was firm in his decision, after

considerable aI'gument, I then withdrew my protest against Ma sachu-

setts team, and moved that if Washington be allowed to shoot their special

guns, that Massachusetts be allowed to shoot theirs, which was adopted.

Pennsylvania and Georgia used the regular Springfield 3-groove gun,

ew Jersey the 6-gl'oove Springfield, and Mas achusetts and Washington

their special gun. Therefore, I can safely ay that the Georgians, with

inferior guns, proved them elves the better shots.

During our stay of ten days at Sea Girt, the weather was delightful,

at night the men sleeping under two and three heavy blankets. There was

not a case of sickness in our team.

A team of eight men from the Governor's Horse Guards, from Atlanta.

arrived the same day that we did. After the fh'st day's practice on the

range. ther'e being quite a wind, they realized that they knew very little

about windage. The range neal' Atlanta is located in a valley between hills,

and therefore, they are not troubled by wind.

I went to Captain DOZier, at the request of the team, and told him we

were all from Georgia, and we wanted to encourage rifle shooting in th

State, and, therefore. if agreeable to his men, our boys would take them in

hand. coach them and show them all the finer points about shooting. The

proposition was at once accepted, and the best of feeling was engendere l.

In fact, the tlanta and Savannah men acted as one team, marching into

meals together and occupying adjacent tents.

The Atlanta men, with the f'Jur days' instruction we gave them,

showed marked improvement, and stood well in the carbin, company and

regimental matches. They have some good material. and will be heard

fl'om later in Georgia.

I believe the protest I made against Massachusetts using their special

guns, which brought into que tion also the guns used by Washington will

result in a ohange of the conditions governing these matches, whel'eby all

teams will be placed on an equal footing. General Wingate, the President

of the National Rifle Association, was present at a subsequent meeting

where this matter was fully discussed, and he favored a change in the

dire tion wished for, Colonel Miner, the captain of the Penn ylvania team.

having clearly stated that the Pennsylvania team would not come again to

Sea Girt unless some such change was made.

. I can but express the hope that the military authoriti in Georgia will

encolll'age the increasing interest in rifle shooting that is being developed

in different part of the State. In ew Jersey, the Governor of the tate

is, by Jaw, President of the ew Jersey Rifle Asso iation, under who e

auspices the matches are shot. This will account for the financial aid and

State backing given to these annual meetings. The present incumbent,

Governor Griggs, takes great interest in rifle shooting, and shot on the

ew Jersey team.

Another feature that adds to the success of Sea Girt is the evident good

feeling existing between the different teams, Whilst each team stlives to

the best of its ability to win, hearty congratulations and good wishes are

always extended to the victors by theil' less successful competitors. Many

individual friendships are formed, which but adds to the desire of a renewal

of the acquaintance at future meetings.

It is yet too early to say positively, but an effort will be made to have

a meeting on the Avondale Range, neal' Savannah, in the spring, several

of the State teams haVing expressed their desire to attend aid gathel'in~.

I cannot close this report without xpressing on be'half of the entil'e

team their appreciation of the many courtesies shown them by the officers

and members of the New Jersey Rifle Association, but especially so to Gen-

eral Bird W. Spencer, Colonel John C. Owens, Captain DeLan ey G. Walker.

Quartermaster Hopper, Captain Graff, Lieutenant A. S. Jones and Captain

Bodwell. the range keeper.

From the foregoing it is seen that the riflemen of Georgia entered eighteen matches. Of this number they won thirteen; tied in two, which were lost by smaller score at longest distan e; and lost three.
The matcbes won by them were on good margins, those lost on very small ones.
These matches are held annually, at Sea Girt, under the direction of the New Jersey Rifie Association, whose president is, by law, the Gov rnor of uhe Stat. Tbe most expert rifle bats in the oountry meet here in friendly rivalry, and to win in such contests requires, as a preparation, hard, systematic, intelligent work, and a high degree of skill. There are 110 State funds available for defraying the expenses of the team; so, in addition to the time lost and hard work done, the entire cost falls on its individual members. The Governor congratUlates Captain Williamson, team captain, and the members of the team on the remarkable scores made and the honors they have won for the State and themselves. They will be classified as sharpshooters, and special celtiflcates and sharpshooters' badges will be issued to them by the Inspector-General of Rifle Practice.

2. The creditable work of the team from the Governor's Horse Guards,

that, with little time for preparation, went to Sea GiIt, as a first experience

this year, is desel'ving of mention, and the knowledge thus gained of team

shooting will be of great benefit to its member in future contests.

By order of the Governor.

that my personal knowledge a commanding officer of the regiment covers

only a Hnall portion of tbe period covered by tbis report.

During the fiscal year just en(led, tbe regiment 10 t by resil!:nation and re-

There have b en no mat rial chang-es in the rl'giment, and no spec-illl event

'

Botb of tbe battalion, tbat i. to say snch portions of tb m a. consisted of

the compani s have met, either for the pnrpo e of drill, instruction, or company bnsine ,once a week and oOJl:'til1le more fr quently durin<> the year.

In general, the I' giment has made xcell nt progress dnring the year, and continue from time to tim to improv. It i my hope tbat I hall be able
to continue tbis improvement, and to point ach year to a better command. Tbe I'ea iment baa paraded with all companies pre ent, witb the ex eption
of Company G, whose tation is at tatesboro, ou January 19th (Lee's birthday), and February 22d (\V ashington's birthday), and on May L4th. The lat-
ter' parade was to aid in th later tate Iilitary eel bration whicb was gotten up by the )'filitary Intel' tate A ociation of 'a\'annah, and which wa
held in tbi city from Jay lltb to L6th inclu lye, 1 96. On the aftel'lloon of the ]4th of fay there wa a parad of all th troops stationed in avannab,
and of vi iting companie..
Iy regiment ba been called on to pedorm no duty by the tate during the year.
The ag regate strength of the regiment for the different quarters is sbown
by the quarterly r turn on file in your offie . 'fh regiment has not b en ill camp luring the current fiscal year. My
command ha bad the benefit during this fi cal year of the Avondale Rifle

llilD<>e, situated near avannah, and maintained by the military companie of avannab. The record wbicb it made i not as good as I should bave liked,

but I cle ire to point with 1 articular pride to tbe record wbicb was mad'e by one of the compani s of the Regiment, tl? wit, Company E. Out of a total

113
membership, rank and file, of G6, it has shown a figure of merit of 113, and has qualifietl25 sharpshooters. 17 mark men,!l first-class men, -l econd-cla s men and 10 thirdclass men. Onlv one man failed to nlake his record. and be wa inacc ible'in the tate of 'l'exa. Tbi record of Company E is the I' suIt of hard and faithful work upon the part of officers and men, and pecial prai e and credit are lue to aptain Brook and to every man und I' him for tl e sJ lendid r~sult. of the work. Tbe men of this company are by natur no better marl, men than tho e in other companies, and thus is aftorded a trikillg example of what can be accomplished by faitbful application, and by ab olute willingn s to /l;ive tbe nece sary time and attention. W ar compelled to furnish our own ammunition for pra lice purposes an I for record purposes. While thi recurd prt' ent a r rtain amount oi co t to this company, it represents a great deal more in Iividual work upon the part of the men of the compan", who could be een nij1:ht after niaht at \\ork in tb armory loading belis at a cost of not more than one-fourth of the original co t of loading cartridge .
I re pe~lfully ubmit the following I' commendation : 1. That larger appropriation b made by the Gen ral A embly for military purpo e , in order that the tate may b enabled to furni h t,he men with blanket and other nece~sarie , an,1 provide for their proper training without th great xpell whi h i now inflicted upon the individuals. Th re i no reason why tho e 'itizells of the 'late who ar willing to give their lime for the public benefit hould be comp lied to incur larg xpense for the same pm'po e . 2. Ther houll be a regular and sy tematic in p ction by the In pe tor General of th tate or his a -i~tant, iu p' cting each company not Ie . than once a year, holdinj1: them u[ to a trict compliance ,,,itb I' gulation , and di blinding uch as do not eem worthy of the tate' support.

ompany E, ba~ been an invalid for more tban a year, a larg portion of the time being entirely uuable to transact any bu in 5S whatever. Tbis fact, doubtle ,account for tbe leJioquencyof the company, thon/<h 1 am not informed of any rea on wby the lieutenant bas [ailed to take charlre f it affair. L am informed that the company is badly disol'~anized, and practically defunct. For these rea ons, and for tbe gooJ of th en'ice, Ir>spect fully I' commend that Company E, 'econd Regiment, Infantry, b di banded at once.
Pursuant to orders nin companie of tbe 'econd Regiment, In fautry, re ported [01' duty at ('amp orthen on June 9th. The Fourtb Infantry, seven companies, Col. J. O. \'amedoe, commander. reported likewi e at th ame
time. I a um d command of tbe po t. am ers aGd men were prompt to
take up the duties v[ the ervice, and w re faith[ul in their di cbar e throughout the tour. With each encampment I am more and mol' convinced, by the beneficial re.ult attained, tbat tbe good of the tat's military ervice is be t ub.erved by the_e practical tour of duty. The experience of tb pa t few years ha demonstrated the utility of camp life in builtlin up the trength and perfectin ' the di cipline of the eOl'gia Volnnteers. Ii it be conc ded,

a I think it must be, that the, 'tate honld have any military ervice at all,

th experien of the I ast demon tJ'ates the wi dom of aunually sending th

troops intoCHll1p. The y tematic, intelligent, and faithful work of the oflicer

lind men dul'ing the tour from June 9th to 15th la t, attests the eame t de ir

on the part of all to make the, tate's military department an efficient and use-

ful part of the govt'rnm nt.

Tb tolal population of tbe camp during tbis tour avera~ed 626 men. The

heallh at the po t was ~ood. Tbe discipline at the post wa excelleut, alld

the conduct of th men mu t have bE'en E'xemplary, for I had no complaints

of any misconduct away from th camp. Daily dutie were p rformed in ac-

cordance with orders "0.1, a copy of wbich i her to atta bed. The Governor,

with hi taJf, \'I ited the camp on June 13th, and reviewed th troops and in

pected the camp.

I take thi opportunity to express my high regard for Col. Varnedoe, and

my gratification at being with him n tlJi t ur of duty.

Thi Ii t doe not include four ea es of exhau tion and faintinl!:, treated by
the ho pital and ambulance corps, while the troop were out on tbe field during inspection, guard mount, and review.
It is with pleasure I report that tbe sanitary condition was fir t-cJa,.s
tbroughout the entir time. There se med to have been a spirit of gen rou rivalry among tbe different companie to see wbi b would keep the cleane t treet , tbe neatest me~ ball and kitcben , and the most scrupuloll Iy caredfor bath hous and sinks. Thi rivalry was tarted by two of the compania fir t arriviug at camp, and at once taken up by the others as tbey came. The coudition of tbe camp wa particularly gratifying to the medical officer ou his daily round of in pection, and naturally lighreued bi work. Had the
volunteer for e in camp the stimulus for thi kind of work, wbich better
me ball, kitch n , bath houses and sink would give, I am sure Carup I ortbeu would rival in n atne s, if not ill perfection, any of the fOlts of
the regular arlllY The physical condition f the buildin at amp rortben is not good.
While there wa a beautiful di play of l' cently applied wbit wa h, there
were many defects in the building that hould be corrected. I IllUSt again call attenti n to the n ed of , torerOOID in connection with the mess halls for
provi ion, di hes, etc.; a. the building now exi t prod ions are beaped UI
)J) one corn r' xpo ed to th weath I' and dust, and form an unsig-btly view to anyone vi iting tbe hall. The doors and partition of many of tbe bath hou e and sink ar broken down and 10 t; the e should be replaced. One
particular f ature of some of the bath hou e I wi h to call special attention to, namely, the use of a mall hower pl'ay instead of tbe large shower bath.
From the former the water strike the batber with tbe full fOI'ce of the stream in the w~ter pipe as it leaves the pumping tation. Tbis is not only uncomfortable, but po itively paiuful, amountinO' to tb regular needle bath, a pecies of treatment used in some pia 'es for treating di ea e ,in ome 4n titution as punishment for in ubordinatiou.
The larger shower-bath is a plea ure, the wat I' ouly falling from the batb re"ervoir a few feet on the bather i invigoratinO', invitiug frequent and pro-
longed bathing. Tbi may eem a tl'ivialmatter. but a frequent bathing is a neces ary duty of all troop in encampment, every encouragement tbat com-
fort will bring should be added to induce the men to take and not avoid tbe

119
bath. I would therefore earnestly recommend that the large shower-bath should be sub tituted for the small needle spray now iu use.
Two year. ago I called nttention to the inconvenience and other faults to be found in the physical condition of the ho pital building. I regret to ay nothing hns been done to improve thi!'! bUildin~. 'file 1'00f still leak, the dining' room remains ullceilcd, and the flooring 1S bad, warped in many places, so much 0 as to make walking dangerons, while it is almost impo sible to write if any oue walks acros, the room, owin to the l'<>cking f the floor.
'While the volunteer sollier's of the 'tate are improvinG'every year in efficacyof field service, I am sorry to say Georgia is far behind her sister State in matters pertaininG' to the care of tlJe si k and wounded, The m dical department i well organized and has a full corp of nrgeons, physician who are willinG' to do their share of the work in the service of the tate, but they Ileed encouragement. lIo pital corps should be or~allized. and Iurni hed by the State with every appliance needed for the care of the ick and wounded. The law requires tlult each regiment shflll have, in a Idition to the surgeons and the ho pi tal atteudants, an organized ambulance corps, epar,lte and di tinct fr m tlle other companie.. It particularly provides that detail to act as an ambulance corps 'hall not be drawn from the differE'nt comp~nie" In the two encampments I have sp,rved, it has been a matter of impossibility to organize such a corp, hecau e of the inability to get stretchers, medical chests, uniforms, etc. By personal solicitations and advertisements in the paper I have tried to get volunteers for thi service, my efforts being faithfully assisted by my two htlspital steward', but withont success. hould the State give the nece. ary uniforms, etc., fo" Bttin\( out uch an ambulance corp, I !lOW feel assureJ that in thirty days r coulr\ organize a corp of tru ty men who wouLd willinglyenli t for thi service, but if they have to purcha e tbeir own uniforms, and ti0 without the propel' tretchers, etc., tbey will not enlist, as there is no nCOUl'<\G'ement to go ir;to a lame show such a is an ambulance corp withont tbe proper applianc sf l' the work, Ho pital anel ambulance work i not so attractive, apparently, liS regular soldier duty, and, though equally a necessary, it is impo ible to get men to give their time and 1I10n y to such service. The ervice, once und rstood, i more attractive tban any other military work, an'l if properly 'lniformed and car'ded out it is a beautiful duty, In the city pf Macoll there i a company of young men, the Catbolic Knight of Temperance, twenty of whom will quickly enlist if the tate willuuiform them for this service. It is my arne t wi. h to see the Second R':lgi men t provided with such a corps, and if they can be uuiform d and provided witb every modern _appliance for the service, I will do my utmo t to p rfect them in the duties of the service. I therefore solicit the co-operation of the Governol' of the tate, the Adjutant-General, the ~urgeou-Genel'al,and the Colonel of the econd Regiment, in my effort& to thi important work. If we are !'!ul:ces ful, I tru t by another year, to show the u efulnes of such a service, both in camp and in case the volunteer service is called out in riot 01' oth I' emergency.
The post surgeon l' grets to can attention to the non-appearance of bis as. istallt, Lieutenant Herman, of Eastman, at Camo 'orthen. Hi absence greatly interfered with the working of tbE' m dical department, and made the duties of tho e medical officers who did attend more irksome. This i the second time he bas railed to do bis duty. and while it is very painful to do so, I feel it my dnty to tbe service to ask that he be dek'lcbed from dle econd Regiment and a new appointment be made.
In this connection I wisb to commend the faithful service of Lieutenant Blanton, A sistant urgeon, attached to the Fourtb Rpgiment, and also Dr. Wall, of Colnmbus, GeOl'~ia, ergeant of the Colnmbu Guard, 'rhis latter gentleman was kindly detailed by his captain, Captain Little, to assist the post surgeon, and rendel'ed val nab Ie aid.
'1'he services of the ,two bORpital stewards, enior Sergeant ,1. Brunner and Junior ergeant, 'V, T. Morgan, de erve the highest commendation. "fhey were both present and gave most willing and conscientiou attention to their duties, receiving the wll.rmest regard of every officer and private in the camp.
I would bere recommend that the office of bospital stewards be raised, that tbey be made commi sioned officers, rankinG' a second lieutenants nnder

12U
the command of the ur~eon alta bed teach res::irnent, antI tbat bereafter all appointm 'nt for this positi n be made only upon examination a. to profe Qional capacity, as is the ca with other c mmi ssion d officer. The po ition i a re~p n'lbl on, and should be filled only by tho e wbo are pI' fe ion ally cap'lble to undertake the important duti . 'fhi recommendation receiv s the ;,upport of a mO\'em Ilt recently in~tituted in the rpgular army. I should be glad to see u 'b a tep taken in tbe volunt er ervice of tbe ,'tate of e rgia.
In concluding thi I' pOIt 1 wi h to comm nt upon the march made by orupanies".\" and "F", l' concl Regiment. I cannot but exp1ess my enthu ia m over the IlCceSe f tb exp dition. D tailed by the colonel of tLe I' giment to ac ompany the men, 1 felt a good deal of mi giving a to the Hl 'ce s of the enterpri e. believino- that tbe young m n would not lie pby ieally able to witb taOlI the nnaccu tOOled hard hips of a forced march at th ason f th y ar it was to b undertaken. A brief conference with Captain: Bell fwd
'teven oon di 'clo ed the fact to me that th y hali tb01'Ou<>hly tudi u th
matter, and were better ju Ige of the po ibiliti s than I was. Everythilli!, the amount of time to cover the distance, the bOllr of mrll'ching, the llumbel' of mil to be tra\' I d each day, the dietary, etc" had bAen tudi d and fixed. Theil' knowledge of what wa in Ii 'ated. and their confidenc of ucc wa' convincing, and when llcft ?I[a on J fully hared their ntbu ia,l11.
f the 53 men taken from the differ nt voeations of lif , merchants, clerk , students, computer, machinist, eIC., who undertook the mare'b, 44 were young men who 'e occupations were uch a to apparcntly unfit them for the harll hip to b endured. otwith tandin!? this they came Bucce sfully through without any physical injury 01' mishap. To show tbe ben fit of thH march I can 'tate tbat lh e men when th y came into camp were in better physical {'ontlition than tho e who reached amp Nortben by railroad. While the larger per cellt. of ickne in amp .Korth en occurred am ng tho e ill n who came the !?reate t eli tance by railroad and the I 'er per cent. among tho'e 'oming tb hort t distance, there was not a Bin!?le one of the e cases of illne s among the men wbo marched througb the country.
The averag age of the men wbo mal'ched \Va 23 )'ear , hei!?ht 5 feet 7 inche , weight bef I'e leaving' Macon, 13 pounds, and aVt'rag weight on aniving at Camp ~OIth n, 136~ pounds. B~' age, heigbt and IV ight they
were IV 11 filterl for tbe undertaking, while th 10 of wei~ht, averaging 1&
ponnel , was not exce ive compared with tbe work done. Except for some few case. of blistered feet, due to poorly lected shoes,
ther IVa no ickne .. which could b attributed to marching'. An exception mu t be made to thi ; there II' re two men who were uffering from the effect of severc pliy ica! injuries l'eceiv d seyeral year beforehand-one a gnn hot wound of the brain, the other a gun hot wountl and sev re cru I of the spine-who should haye nev r been allowed to go on th march, and had the medical detail known of their phy iea! weakne s he would never have allo\\ed them to attempt the march. Th y gavll out on the third clay.
'Vhile the season was unfavorable to uch an nterprise, an abundance of rain preceding tlie Btart favored the su('ces~ f th march.
Th hour~ for marching-irom 4 to 10 A. M.-were well. elected, and occaional moments of rest durin er the march r newed any fingering energy.
The number of miles cover d each day wa well proportioned for a ubtantial carrying ont of such a march, th fir t day 13 mile, second 16 (13 in the morning and 3 in the afLE-J'l100nl, third Hand th fourth H~ mil s.
'l'be diet wa wholesome but plain. such as to sn lain trength and prevent any bowel di ord r. nly ne ca. e of dianhea of any gravity 0 'eu ned during Lhe march it being the re nlt of impl'udenc in eating barbe 'ued pork anel rlrinkin,!l' lemonade fumi hed the tlOOP on the second day by the good
citiz nB of For ytb. There is one point of a punly medical character upon which I wi h to
comment; that is the use of the Kola Xnt to relie\'e fatigne. Thi drug, in tlie form of Vino-"Kolafra, had be n furnished the companie and u ed duriu th march with a great tl alof benefit. After marching for two hour the m n were baIted and two ounce' of the wine admini tered to eah man, then the march was resumed. In a few moment all sen e of fatigue and

121
lliscomfort hall pass d away, the step beam bri k, anrl the lUen Lecame enlivened. Th cir ulation of the blood would quiet down and the re piration teadied, by actual examination made in s "enl! ca e.. Tbe only unplea ant elfect, f unll in thr (II' four ca e ,followin the u e of the drug, wa slight pain in th region of th tomacb and. o.ne Ilau ea if th win were taken 011 an mpty ~LoOlach. 'I'hi was relieved, how v r, by giving lit th same time a piece of bl' ad to beat n.
In concluding my comment upon thi march I can only expre th hope that thi m th d of reacbing amp Nortben will be more exten, ively tried by olh r 'ompanie, if not aLlopted by the tate as a part of lhe tour of intrucLion. V ry I'e p ctfully,

Feeling that the time i appro:u:hing when tihe volunteer forces of the State must look beyond that in trucion generally gained in mere drill, in annOl"Y, and upon the streets, and that to the tbeoretical instruction imparted to the men at ,home stations, must be added the more practical exp rienc of the march, care of health, C>are of arms and equipment, pitching and breaking camp, PI' per loading of wagons, guard duty, and the work of the sentinel among unfamiliar urroundings; that to the limited instruction accessible to the offi ers of our ate f rces should be added such valuable experience as would fit them for the pI'oper discharge of their duties sbould they be called up n by the State for '!ibe protection f bel' people, and the enior ement of her laws, or the defense of her rights; that they should be taught the proper method of successfully conducting a marc'h of length, and to provide for the proper clothing to be worn and carried by the men, subsi tence, equipment, care of healt"h, number of miles to be traveled ea~h day, map making, selection of C<'1.mp sites, care of public pl"OpeI'ty, wagon trains, cooking, etc.
To the end that the om ers and men of these two companies should obtain some practi e in tbe duties, it was det rmined by Captain St vens and myself to march to the camp of instruction, if possible, instead of using the rail tran portation as MS been customal"Y. Being approached upon the subject, your consent was given that the march hould be made, and it will eve]' be with gratitude t'hat we r call yom' encouragement and unfailing confidence in our success.
THE M RCH.
In ac rdance with permission granted in regimental order o. 17, C. S., bearing dat of May 2 (exhibit A), companies "A" and "F" of this regiment, left th'ir armories Friday, Jun 5th, at 4: 45 a.m., under command of Captain P. G. R. Bell, with tbe following complement of officers and men: Company "F"-Captain B ll; Second Lieutenant, has. B. White; three sergeants, three corporals. two trumpetel'S, twenty-two privates, two cooks, and one teamster. Company "AU-Captain J. E. P. Stevens; four sergeants, one corporal, fourteen privates, two cooks, and one teamstel. The route tak n was out Wa bington avenue to the Forsyth road. At Vineville, branch Captain H. J. Williams, medical officer 2d R giment, reported for duty with the detachment, in obedience to regimental order o.

122
17, C. ., in charge of the ambulance, with Ho pital Steward Bruner, and one teamster. t Vineville First Lieutenant J. A. '1 homas, Jr., Adjutant 2d Battalion, reported for duty, in accordance with permission granted by battali n order o. 12, C. . (Exhibit B).
'1'he first halt was made at y rs Spring, about foul' and a half miles from Macon. After a thirty minutes l' st, the march was resumed. The second halt was made about ight miles out, for about twenty minute, after a cending a very teep hill. The third halt was at Loraine, about ten and a half miles out, for twenty minutes. At 11 o'clock a.m., we reached Bolingbroke, thir.teen miles fr m Macon, bhe men being in good condition. Preparations for dinner and arrangements for pitching camp were immediately begun, and I reported to you as directed, by courier, detailing Sergeant F. R. Jones of Company "F" 'for that duty, w'ho left the camp on bicycle at 4: 10 p.m. for your headquarters at Macon. Camp Wil y was pitched in a beautiful oak grove, about 100 yards to the left of the station. After dinner about an hour was consum d in bathing and cleaning up for the parade and guard mounting, Which occulTed each afternoon. Orders were published at parade (Exhibit C), and at guard mounting an orderly was selected for the commanding officer, details were posted, and at an early hour all were endeavoring to obtain as much rest as possible.
Reveille sounded at 3 a. m. 'of tbe &th, and mess at 3: 30. Camp was struck prom ply, the guard was divided, two-thirds as advance guard, onethir~ as l:ear guard. The real' guard, under command of the officer of the day, remaining at the camp to see that the wagon train moved off safely, while the advance guard, preceding the column, took up the march promptly at 4: 10 a.m. This order was carried out each day with satisfactory results. Five miles out from Camp Wiley, the column was halted for about one hour to rest the men, and allow tlle wagon train and rear guard to close up. The ambulance accompanied the olumn always. -t Smarrs, a halt of twenty minutes was made, when Captain andel'S of Company "I<:}, was telephoned of our approach. ear the 26 mile post we were met by a detachment of Company "K," under Captain Sanders. Here Sergeant Jones reported having arrived by train at Forsyth, and marc'hed out to meet the column and delivered your dispatch (Exhibit D). We were then escorted into Forsyth, arriving there t 9: 25 a.m.
In behalf of the officers and men, I take this opportunity of attesting to the generous hospitality of :the citizens of Forsyth, who seemed to vie with each other in their efforts to make us comfortable. So well did they succeed, and so heartily is their kindness appreciated, that I am, only prevented fl'Om dwelling at length upon th subject by the military nature of this communication. We left this hospitable city at 1:45 p.m., escorted by a detachment of Company "K," under First Lieutenant W. T. Maynard. Two miles north of Forsyth, the halt was ,sounded, and Camp Sanders, named in hon l' of Captain William E. Sanders, was pitched on a high level plateau. The heat was intense, and the men showed the effects of it. About 5 o'clock parade was formed, the detachment from Company "K" participating. Orders were read (Exhibit E), and after parade, the guard was mounted, orderly selected, details posted, and hy "taps" the camp was silent.
Reveille was sounded at 2:30 a. m. 'On the 7th, mess call at 3 a. m., and the march was taken up at 4:10 ,a.m. The guard was divided as before, the advance guard bing in charge of a non-commissioned officer as commander of the guard. At Colliers a halt was called for twenty-five minutes, to enable fhe wagons 'and rear guard to close up, when the march was resumed, and six and a half miles fUl'ther Johnsonville was reached, the column halting for fourteen minutes. The hiI'd halt was made at Camp Huguenin, which was pitched at Libm,-t;y Hill, just ten miles out of GI'iffin. This was Sunday and intensely hot, but the men stood the trip well; in fact, they were in better condition after making this marc'll of fourteen miles through a hot, burning sun, than they were the evening before upon arrival at Camp andel'S. This, I fhink, may be attributed to the 'hearty appreciation of the dinner tendered us by the good people of Forsyth, Which was a radical change from the ration furnished the men on the marc'h.

At Liberty Hill, the wagons were unloaded, tents pitched, dinner was eaten, parade formed, orders published (Exhibit Flo guard mounted, detail posted, and at "taps" the camp was asleep. Calls were sounded at the appointed hours, a!ld at 4:10 a.m. of tbe th the column moved off. On this day was tried the effect of forcing the marah somewhat, the men having rapidly become inured to the 'hardships and fatigue of the march. A'ftel' a brisk step for one hour, a halt of five minut s was made, the men kept on their feet; when the ame sharp march ""as resumed for one hOlll', another halt of five minutes. The third 'hour was traveled as rapidly, and at the third halt we were but one .mile out of Griffin, having traveled nine miles in three hours, and were compell d to wait an hour for the wagons and rear guard to overtake the column.
The country being very 'hilly, the heavily loaded wagons could not travel with speed. The column being los d, the march was resumed, passing through the city of Griffin, and arriving at Oamp Northen at 9: 13 a. m. Ranks were broken, and ~he men of the two companies, instead of relaxing as might have been expected, went almo t immediately to work scouring tent floors, pitching tents, cutting out stumps, and doing all the hard work incident to the proper pJ'eparation of th company streets. In the afternoon parade was formed, orders pUblished (EXhibit G), guard mounted, and detail posted.
pon the alTival of the 4th Regiment, I reported for duty with Colonel Varnedoe; he, however, directing me to retain command of the detachment in obedience to your order, and kindly r lieved my sentinels, extending his po ts so a to cover the streets occupied by us.
pon the 'arrival of the 2d Regiment, on the morning of the 9th, I reported to you in accordance with regimental order o. 17, C. S. (Exhibit
A),
DISCIPLL E.
I annot speak too hig11ly of the perfe t dis ipline of the men; it seemed to be the endeavor of each one to make the l' cord of the initial march one to be proud of, and certainly the officer have abundant reason to be proud of the conduct of their men. It gives me both pride and pleasure to repo!t that during the four clays that the march consumed, there was not the slighte t deviation from lihe strict observance of that perfect discipline which marks the soldier and gentleman. During the march, and when around the camp fires at night, jests were made, songs ung, stories told, and general good fellowship preVailed, but at the word of command, a,ttention would be fixed, and the laughi.ng soldier of a momen t ago sto d ready for duty.
SUBSISTENCE.
The matter of subsistenc , always the most important in war or peace, gave us many hours of anxious thought, 'but Captain Stevens and myself thought best not to rely upon the country through which we would march, but provided ourselves with such staple groceries as hams, bacon, beans, corn meal, potat es, flour, onions, butter, ugar, coffee, tea, lard, etc. As we feared, we found it impos ible to obtain sufficient vegetables. fresh meat, egg, milk, chick ns, etc., along the route, 'but fortunately had arranged to have fresh bread and crackers meet us along the route.
EQUIPME T.
As the march was in no en e intended as a test of the greatest possible endurance of the men, but rather that the experience should be gained with as much comfort as consistent. the men were equipped as lightly as pos ible, wearing the cart.idge belt, with six rounds of ball cartridge, canteen, tin cup, and carrying the rifle, the bayonet and scabbard being stored in ea h man's knapsl'.ck, whi h was packed according to regulation and with the haversack pacl{ d in the wagons.

HEALTH.
Under this head, I beg to r fer to x~ract of the report of the post- ergeon (Exhibit H), in addition to which I wish to ay that from the start the men endeavored faithfully t obey ucll instruction a were imparted by Captain William and their offic rs, regarding the car of their health, and I ventur to a ert that vhen the time arrives for our next march, that the experience gained will be quickly taken advantage of by the men, with good 1'e ult. The officers were untiring in their effolts to prevent any ickne s, and the re ult of their care and watchfulnes i rna t sati factory, as will be en by th report of the m di I officer who accompanied the column. I wi h to attest to the faithful and untiring attentions to the men of
aptain Williams and Hospital Steward Brunner. The e gentlemen were not only always ready for s rvi e, but w re ever watchful and assiduoUll to prevent sickne ,both on the march and in camp. In this they were most succ ssful, a the report of the surgeon will show.
ROAD.
For the first ten miles out of Macon, the roa I wb ich had bec m soft by rec nt beavy rains, and badly cut by vehicle, had b'ecome quite stiff und r a baking sun.
s will be seen by map of the route attached, the untry is quite hilly, and roads steep. They are generally well w rked, however, anI may be called good.
MAP MAKI G.
For this important work I detailed Captain J. E. P. Stevens of Company "A,"and beg to all attention to his report attached (Exhibit I), embracing his map of the route, with itinerary of arne. This map will how the rna t painstaking and patient lab(1]', and is in every respect a clear and on ct r POI't. Too mu h praise cannot b given this officer for the faithful performance of this work, occupied as he was with the command of his company. and the many other duties devolving upon him during the march; however many the calls upon his time and energy, his notations, ob ervations, etc., were promptly and accurately marle.
W GO TRAIN.
One four-mule wagon for each ompany wa pr vided. They were the usual two-horse wagon, wit:h a omewhat longer body, fitted witb canva cover, and baving the company let.t I' and regimental number on the ides. The ambulance was a light one-borse spring wagon, furnished with mattr . medicines, etc.; provender for the stock was purchased along the route.
In this connection, I desire to return thanks to Captain W. H. Mansfield, of this city, for his valuable advice and assistance rendered.
TENTS.
'rhrough the kindness of Colonel N. G. Gewinner, Surgeon-GeneJ~I, and Lieutenant O. J. Brown, Assistant Adjutant-General, we were fUl'llish d with fitly helter tents, ,~hiC'h proved quite erviceable. '.rwo men were assigned t ea h tent, and th y IV re found to I e comfortable, just the thing for a tive send e.
A 1P 'ITh .
Camping ground were carefully elected with reference to water, fuel and health. At Camp Wiley, Bolingbroke, the tents were pitched in a beautiful'grove of oaks, being arranged in line, with the officers' tents fronting those of th men; guard quarters being opposite the right, and in favorable position for the control of the work of the guard.

12,)
At Camp Sandel' , the camp wa pitched on a mall pen plateau or table land, overlooking the uJTounrling country; thr e ides of a . Quare bing formed, with the kitchen, cooks' tents, wagons and tock neal' the
uard Qilluter ; the utmost care bing observed to pI'otect well the wagon train and property.
At Camp Huguenin, the form used at Camp Wiley wa employed, on account of the formation of the grove of trees in which tl1e amp wa pitch d. An abundance of oak leaves made most comfortable beds for the men.
W TER.
With the xception of outh Towaliga river, twelve and a half miles north of Forsyth, no water ourses of note were met but abundant water for u tenance along the line of mar h, sufficient supply large bodies of men.
GUARD D TY.
The work of the officers, non- ommi sioned offi ers and privat s of the gual'd, was in all re pect most c mmendable. By a reference to the attached copies ol the orders published daily, it will be seen t'hat each offi-
er had his full share of duty as officer of the day, leaving the work of the offi er of the guard to the ranking non-commissioned officer therewith. No
ffol't wa spared to see that each sentinel did his work eal'ne tly and COlT ctly, with due regard for the reslonsibility of his po iti n. During th entire tour of duty, both .On uhe mal' h and at camp, each s Idier seemed on th alert to do his work with the highest sense of faithfulness to the service. I d not doubt that the guard duty upon the march was of the gl atest benefit to the men who ha I ne reI' before enjoyed this experien e. At amp Hu~uenin, a running O'uard was eslablished after the camp became qui t, that tihe men might obtain as much rest as possible, to better fit them for the forced march on the morrow.
PROT I APIIS.
everal photographs were taken of the column while on the march, and of the men engaged in their everal duties at the camps, py Captain
teven ; it is to be regretted that thes pictures were destroyed in the effort to finish them; they were interesting evidences of the vork.
E 'D RA CE OF THE ME .
This subject being fully treated in the report of Captain Williams, extract of which i attached, I shall dwell but lightly upon it. If the enthusiasm of the men to make the march was an evidence of the manner in which they would stand the fatigue in ident thereto, there should have b en no urpri e at the result; but the fact cannot be disguised that Captain tevens and myself were much gratified at the endurance exhibited by the men, whose ages ranged from sixteen to forty, and who I' presented alma t every class of 0 upa,tion. Without doubt the use of the Vi noKolafra had much to do with the absen e of that extreme fatigue which unfits the man 'fOr further exel'tion, but the ,ability of th men to keep up to the w rk cut out for them was most satisfactory, and this energy was also very evident in the camp of instru ti n, Where, I am sure, it will be agreed no man ever did hal'd I' at' more faitbful work, n'or stood tlbe trial of camp-life with grea,ter credit t tbemselve. It was said ~hat their pride alone kept them up, and that the reaction would come Ut on the return of the men to their homes, but the fallacy of this statement may be seen when I state that of the men at camp, with these two companies, there is no report of sickness of any sort after reaching home; on the contrary, th men who took the march have invariably reported that they have been benefited in health thel eby.

126
S MMARY.
In the light of the experience gained on he march, and the sentiment. regarding the expedition which remains among tho e who undertook the work, I think I oan say, without fear of question, that the march was a decided success; to be perfectly frank, more so than we had hoped for. This is, of course, to the credit of the officers and men, each of whom seemed to feel that though failure of the enterprise had been freely predicted, tihe work could be successfully accomplished, and that it should be done in a manner which should reflect nothing but credit to themselves. It was most gratifying to those upon whom the re ponsibility of the undertaking rested, to observe the unity of purpose displayed, the cheerfulness under fatigue, the fre dom from fault finding, the willingness to accept situations as they presented themselves, and to make the best of everything. To this spirit much of the success of the march is due, and as an humble member of the volunteer forces of the State, I wish to atte t, with my brother officers who can bear witness thereto, to tlle praiseworthy manner in which the men performed the work assigned them, and to the highly creditable bearing of these soldiel'S at all times. I do not t'hink it will be doubted tllat such work as this would prove of great!,!st benefit to the troops, not the least of \vhich would be a cementing of the mutual respect and esteem among the rank and file.
I venture to again refer fo the very great encouragement given us by yourself, for had it been otherwise, we would have suffered much disappointment; as it was, your unwavering confidence in our ability to succeed in the undertaking, assisted us greatly when difficulties presented themselves.
In closing this report I beg leave to return thanks to Oaptain Mason Carter, 5th . S. Infantry; First Lieutenant Chas. B. Satterlee, 3d U. S. Artillery, and First Lieutenant A. B. Scott, 13th U. S. Infantry, for many practical hints and suggestions given. The interest manifested by them in the march, and uheir kindly expressed wishes for oUl' uccess, was very gratifying.
The march, and tour of duty at the camp of instruction, with the lessons learned thereby, leaves me more than ever convinced that the march to camp is the proper method for those troops who e stations are not too remote to reach Camp orthen, and I hope the time will come when this will be the order of the day.
In conclusion, I beg to say that whatever credit is due the commanding officel's of t'he companies for the inception and successful completion of the march that the greater part of that credit is due Captain J. E. P. Stevens, who first conceived the idea, and to whose energy and perseverance is due the determination to undel'take the project.
Trusting, sir, that the work done by these two companies in this, the initial practice march of the Georgia Volunteers, commends itself to your approval, and with assurance of our earnest endeavor to be ever ready for any calls which may be made upon us, I am, sir,
Very respectfully, your obedient servant, P. G. R. BELL,

Sir.-I have the honor, a.s commanding officer Third Regiment Infantry, Georgia Volunteers, to submit the following annual report:
The instruction imparted to the regiment during the past year ha been confined to company exercises in the manual of arms, field movements, guard duty and otber general inRtruC'tion ill the dutie of entinel which company communications may impart.
The regiment has had no opportunity for exercises either in regimental

!!IIIIIIIIIIII!II

127

or battalion 'formations, as the companies whi h compo e the regiment are

con id rable distl\nce fmm each other, and it wa' not onr t ur at the annual encampment. However, four companies participated in the inau-

gural exercise at the inauguration of GovP'l'I1or Atkinson. Upon that occa-

sion they clemonRtrated tbe excellent training which they had received from their company officers.

Tho Lexington Light Infantry Company, of Lexington, Oglethorpe

county, has been added the past year to this regiment. It is ably officered ,

and is now one of the be t commands in the service. Although the said

company had never participatPfj ill a pararlp, 01' other formation than company, they were a source of justifiable pride to the regiment, by means

of their splendid size, soldierly carriage and precise execution of aU

manf>UVerR. A regimental band, composed of twenty-two pieces, has been enlisted.

The band is 'handsomely equipped, and will compare favorably with any

band in the service. Much difficulty i experienced by the failure of company commanders to send in promptly their quarterly reports. All of the

companie have good armorie-.

.

The arm. l\.nd accoutremf'nts arA wpll carpel for, and are in as good, or better, condition than when received from the State. In every instance

except one, the arms were received Ret'ond-han I. Th ...ir conrlition is such as the regiment can never accomplish much at target practice; the reason

is not t'he lack of interest in target firing, 01' the failure of the men to carl') for their arms, but the result of serious damage to the arms before they

were received by the regiment.

I would recommend the return of the arms to the arsenal for repair,

and so soon as one company ,had received from th arsenal their arms, tbose

of another company be forwarded, until those of the entire regiment bad

been put'in serviceable condition. I further recommend, of the amount ap-

propriated by the tate for the military, ten thousand dollars be annually

in\"ested in overcoats and blankets. I have the honor to be, sir, Yom' Obp(lif'nt Rprvant,

Headquarters Fourth Regiment Infantry, Georgia Volunteers, Valdosta, Georgia, November 13th, 1896.
Adjttlanl-Genl'1'al, Atlcwla, ((Ct.: Sir-In submitting my report for the year ending September 1st, I
have the honor to state that, owing to the fact that the seven companies
now composing tbi command, are at separate station, opportunities for massing the re 'iment have been r!l.re. On the _Oth of January last, on the invitation of 'ompany" F," all the companie~, excllpt Company" D," aRsembled at W>I.\'cros , where'the regiment was reviewed by Governor Atkinson. Again, 011 the 16th day of July, respondiuU' to the invitation of Company "B," all of the companie , ext~eot OompanieR liD" and" H," met at Valdo tao The object, iu both instanc~s, did not extend beyond the social enjoyment of those OCCAsion!'. At Camp Torthen, dmini! the month of June, the regiment served a tour of duty for six days. The average number
of men in the veral companie excep.ded that of the I recerling encampment of 1894. 'Phe men were in good spirits, and exhibited a readiness to learn.
I may add, too, that Applications for leave to return home before the expiration of the tour of service, wel'e comparatively few. It is hoped that the instruction received at this encampment, especially as to the care and use of arm, has been"helpful.
In the matter of atlministration and discipline, the prog)"es~, I have reason to believe, llas been steady. '1'11e company c mmanders, fol' the most part, exhibit a commendable zeal in mastering all the details 0'[ the service. Too much cannot be said in praise of the officers and enlisted men of this State, in their efforts to maintain their organizations with such meager aid

from the tate. The tate hould ee that each tation is provided with a

uitable rifle range, and provide the companies with ufficient cartridges

for praNiee. Th fact remHinq, howe\' 1', that not eVl'n reloading tools are supplied to all of my ompanie. How can they be xpected t perfect

th OlRPI v!'s a soldier. nnoer these 'ircumstan~I'S?

The strength of the reO'im nt has been increased c nsiderably during

the year, by the acce ion of new members to the rank of many of the com-

panie. A laudable pride, on the part of om of the c mpanies, to render

their armorie attractive, is noticeable. The most glaring deficiency, among

a majority of the ompanies, is the neglect of their arms. Company "F,"

however, ii'! a nota ble exception. Etl\wt will be made to etl'ect a reformation in this respect.

It is earnpi'!tl.\ hopl'd that thp pre~ent Il'l!:il'llature will mak an appro-

priation for the military of the tate ufficiently generou to thoroughly

equip them in every way.

Re pectfully ubmitted,

Headquarters Fifth Regiment Infantry, Ge rgia Volunteers, Atlanta, Georgia, October 1st, 1 96.
.Acljlliallt-Unlerftl, tal of ,/'orr/ia: H rewit'b I submit my rl'port for th year ending eptember 1st, 1 96.
ince my last report there has been added to thi regiment another company, lettered "L," located in th city of Atlanta, which ompany ha been a signed to the 2d Battalion, making it complete, and leaving but one Battalion with less than the full number of c mpani s required by law. Th I' giment was order d to camp for one week. 11 of the companies, includ-
ing tbe ~il!:naJ C I'P~, machine gun battery and band, attended the 'amp, with I he excpption of ('ompany .. L." wlli h har! been 'I i\!ned but a f.. w days before thi service b gan, and who were not armed and equipped for the
ame. During the exp siti n held in Atlanta from eptember], 1 95, to
January 1st, 1 96, this regim nt received much instruction from the various drills and parades n essary in the reception of the many visiting organi-
zations and many high dii;nitarie of tue nation. While tIlE' work \Va arduous, exacting, and demanding far more time 'from the officers and men
than tlH'y wpr abl to g-ivp. ill they re eiv d ~reat ben fit from til opportunities for drills and marches thus afforded.
I note with pleasure since my last report t'be increasing confiden and support given from he be t citizens at the several stations of the compa-
nie omp sing thii'! regiment. The hu ine q intl'r!'. t of tu 3me are awakening to the fact that a well trained. disciplined military force is neces ary to the safety, g od order and welfare of the tate. 'fhe city of
Atlanta I' alize the importance f itR military companies in the gi\'in~ t this regiment for armory purposes $2,500 pel' annum, in addition to $800
l1iv n to other companies not conn ted with tile rel!iment in tbe city. While this amount is comparatively small, yet it is of great b netit to the companies, not only pecuniarily, but in the encouragement to the men which it affords. I know of no department of the State of Georgia which
j!'ive mor to the Stat and i more grateful f I' ."Ilpnort than tl1P militnry. If the State of Georgia 'had ever given half as much to the training of its
military ~ rc as the men compo ingo them have i!iven of both tillle and ill n y, thi tatl' would have long. inc bad thfl heRt \'olunt4o' I' oldipry in the country. From assurances of support received from many members of the next General Assembly, I am assured that our treatment in the future will be greatly improved; and from my knowledge of the various companie composing the various regiments of th is State, I again repeat what I said in my la t report, namely: that there is not a regiment in the
u tate wLi h would not impr ved by di bantling on 01' two of it '0111-
panies; and if this were done, and offic::er and men were given to under-

129

stand that they would receive practical encouragement in pI' portion to

practical work, our for es would be greatly improved. The State is not

abl to ke p up to the propel' t>lnllard the nllnJber of ('ompaine' now in

exi~tence. Therefore 1 arne tlv recomll1pnd that, no ther h admitted until tho e that are now in it are proiJerlY equipped. We have but few companies

in the State, as now equipped, that could do practical service for three

day withont great ufrerinO'. 'rhi. houln not be; !tlld in tbe (went of an

increased appropriation by the next General Assembly, I rec mmend that

at least one-balf be u ed 1'01' the pUl'c!lRse of blank ts, overcoats and needed uniforms. The greatest need of this regiment is a suitable armory

in th cit)' of A.tlanta. With such an on', thiS regim'lnt coulrl be maintained. in its discipline and drill, equal to any in the nited States. But

as uow scattered. each company in a separate arm ry, regimental spirit,

pride and training are hard to accomplish. I beg t rep at, therefore, my

recommendation in m)' report of 1 95, as to some State provision to meet

this great want.

Respectfully submitted.

'J1~-[ have tbe honor to submit Illy annual report, in compliance with the laws of the tate.
Itgive me pleasure to report the. ixth Regiment in good condition; should
occa ion require, it is in po ition to move for active el'\'ice on sbort notice. '1'11 companies compo ing thi j'egiment have fail' enlistment, HI' well organ-
ized aud di ciplined. Company officers, without an exc ption, have taken active interest in cboolin" and drilling their men. Marked improvement can be uoticed in .the ranks. The inability of yonI' department to upply
needed arms and equipment is the greate t sour<:e of trouble we !Jave to contend with. There is a di po ition among the town' and cities in which the companies of this regiment are stationed to aid ns in the expen e of armory
rent. Augn ta, e pecially, has b en liberal in thi re pect. The mell wiUinO'ly bear the flxpen es of uniform, but even thi should not be required of tbem. Thfl increased appropriation by the legiRlature for the

lR-In pursuance of the requirem nt 0[" ection 169 (1), Articl x_rn,
of R gulation [or th Govel'llm nt of the Volunteer Force of the tate of Georgia, I have the honor to submit the following report for the year endioa thi day.

CHARACTER AKD COPE OF IN TR "I'ION DII'AR'1'ED,

Drill -The com man 1 ba been drill d. 'Ibis ba included battalion, com-

pany and squad drills, the company drill ineludin extended order an 1

guarrl duty i in all of which tbere ha been steady improvement.

Target Praclice.-Tbere bas been instruction during the pa, t ummel' upon

the range near tbi city, including recor,l work, lmd a larg amount of prac-

tice, re ulting in the development in this direction o[ a number of sharp-

hooter and marksmen.

The bulk o[ the ammunition u ed ha been loaded by the men, d tails fOl'

that work havin been made weekly for each o[ tbe companie. In thi . WHy

the men have become familial' with th whole proces -decapping, resizing

and leaning shell, moulding, I' izing and greasing bullet, and capping and I' loading.

A number f the officers and men will take part in tbe ea irt conte ts

with the eorgia 'tate Team, and it is expected that tbey will make a fine

record there. The resul ts of tho e cont st will be ma Ie known tbrougb the

prop I' channels, by Captain W. W, William on, of thi command, who has

been appointed aptain of tbe 'eorgia. 'tate Team,

AclminUitl'ation.-Thi very important branch of the sol (Her's work ha be-

come fairly well known, not only by the officert>, but by the non-com-

mi sioned officer of the command a well, and there ha been a decide lim

pro\'ement during the I eriod covered by thi report, in all matter pertaining

tbereto.

Instruction Meetings.-There have been regular monthly meetings of the

Board of fficers, and many pecial meetin ,wb re matter pertaining to the

welfare of the battalion, and point in drill and administration have b en dis-

cus ed, and appropriate action taken thereon. In each of tbe companie

ther have al 0 been many in tru tion meetings for the noncommi ioned

officer.

.

Field an,l Camp Duty,-The battalion was in camp at amp Northen during

the preceding year, and experienced a decided im}Jrovement in drill and di .

eipline from th in tru ,tion received Iher .

Pm'udes,-There have been quite a number of th e during tbe precedin~

year, and th y have been generally llsed as a means of impartin con ider

able instruction in drill. The quarterly report already rendered con\'ey the

detail on all of tbe e point.

Dr IPJ.II'E AND El'l'lCIEN Y.
Di8cipline.-The eli cipline of th corp is good. The officer' and men mol' thorougbly under tnnd tbe military meaning of this term than vel' before, and eem to fully appreciate it n ce ity. Orders bave b en promptly obeyp.d tbrouabout the veal', and ther have been no instances of di 'obedience.

131

E.tlil'ieney.-I belie\'e the battalion to be thoroughly efficient as a military organization, and I' ady for any s rvice it may be called upon to perform. The department are w 11 organized; tbe oflic I' in charge of the same are
experienced and thoroughly deyoted to their duty.

RE OMMEKDA1'IONS,

Th requisition heretofor made by mEl for n ce saryequipment for my

command has only been partially filled. It i \'el'y important that this com-

mand be thoroughly equipp d, and witbout any cost to it, co[, idering the

outlay it has made up to the pre ent time. I earn tly repeat my recommen-

dations macle last year, that no new companie. be organized until all of those

now in the .'tate b armed and equipped in tbe order of their seniority. This

policy was decided upon year ago by the Advisory Board, but it has not been

followed. It is far b tter to have a few command in the tate, well organized,

anned and e'lnipped thall t haye a ),11'j~e llumber inefficiently provided for.

I recommended la t year the organizlUg of a veterau enli ted roll. Thi

ha b n done, and with mark d impro\'ement to the 'tate force, in my

judgment.

IR-In accordance with tbe paragl'aph 169 (1) of the Regulation, for the

Government of the Yolunte I' :Force of the tate of Georgia, I report for th

tweh'e months preceding first 'eptember, 1 90,

.

'1'h regiment was n t ordered int camp thi year, and hence was at no time Oil active duty a a regiment. During the May week :i\1ilitaJ'Y Celebration in ,~avannahJ Troop .. B 'and" E" were iu camp in 'avannah for two day. Troops" A ", " B " and" E J, participated ill tb parade of all the military, Tbur day of fay week, and tilted foJ' prizes. During the we k there

wa booting for prizes every day at the Avondale Range near Savannah. The DeRenne Trophy for team of til' lve'wa won by the avannab team, six of

whom were members of tbis regiment. On the ea irt RanO'e in New J I' ey, during the hooting for prizes in
eptember, the Interstate Match for teams of twelve, was WOIl by the Georgia

team, of whom ix were member of tbe regiment, and the re t member of other military commands from avannah. The carbine team match (five

mEln) was won by the regiment, five tams 'ompeting. Troops" B", "C", ,I G" ann. ,. I" went to Atllll1ta and took part in the
military parade in connection with tbe inauguration of the overnor on October 31st,

In addition to the occasion above named, each troop has had drill and I arades which Lave been reported in their quarterly I' turn .
The regiment has lost three most efficient offic rs by the resignation of Captain A. M. Morgan J Troop" C ", and Captain \V. J. lark, Troop" I ", and by tbe murder of aptain G. H. Berry, tbe successOr of aptain Morgan.
The arms and equipment i ued ome yeal ago were based upon an e timate of forty rank and file in each troop. everal troops have enlisted rolls

much in exees of tbis number and need additional issues. Encampment contribute more toward the di cipline and efficiency of the

military forces tban any other duty they perform. It is greatly to be hoped that the 'tate will make large enough appropriations to enable the Governor

to bave all tbe military in a ten day' ncampment annually.

Yours respectfully,

port d for duty witb the exception f ompauy L, whicb \\'a unable to attend

army officers have tbe rare faculty of adapting themselves to th ir urI' und-

As before stated, llpon enterinO' the camp I found it in . plelldid condition, and by means of good work by the several com panies it was kept so, amI I think I can .af ly SIlY that one of the be L fpature f thl. camp was its perfect clean line', A a con~ quencp there was not a . in~le ca e of erion' ickn F in the camp during the tour of duty. Another notie-eabl featllre of tbe camp w~!' ils sohernp~s, The camp order ~bsolulely prohibited tbe u ear tlte bringing into camp of any intoxicating- liquor, TId rder was en forc (I to tbe ext nt of exclllding all orle: of intoxieHting liquors, ev n tbo.'e of the mild t character, _ncb a lug I' beer and claret. To tbi. fat also th good healtb of lite 'amp is to he attributed. I bal'e n vel' known OI'(]H' more faithfully obeyeu nOl' b tter di eipJine maintained 1101' more practical instructi n impurted than during this tour of duty. Detailed T'ports furnished your depal'tment each day durin~ tbe tour of duty bow tbe exact attpndance of ffil' I' and men for the week, and by reference to the same it will be notke I that Lhe attendance upon the la t day of t,be camp wa eq nal to that of IllI' first, It i' deeply to be Tegr ttpd tbat by reason of tbe iact that most of the men com posing the Georgia Volunteers hav to work daily for a lil'elihood, we are rarely enabled to carry ex eeding sixty-five per cent, of Ollr enli te 1 strength to camp.
A !1Jurked f ature of thi. tOUI' was the large proportion of the numbE'r of men firing on the range who qualified a marksmen an 1 sharpshooters. The only companie tiring were thus of th Fir t Battalion of Infantry and Com-panies E, F, G, Ii and I nf the Fifth Regiment. Companie. A, B, C, ]) and K of the I?ifth Regiment having a sllperior range at their home station were n()t permitted to use the range at 'rillin The report made heretofore by the In pectol' of Rifle Practice, apt, C. . Bracll y. ]!iftb Regiment Illfantry, to 01. Wm. G, Obear, Insp ctor,General Rifle Practice, ha' already gi\'en th name of tho.'e qualifying liS mark men and harp hotel', and pl'op~r badges have be n awarded. This featur in the military of the 'tate has received great encouragement in tLe last few yellra, and all of the men p;i\'e evidence of tbe fllct that tbi depal'tment ba made rapid and marked progre s, To hoot II' II is the object, after all, cf military truininl!, and it is to be boped that every encouragement will continue to be given to our forces in this direction.
All of tb officers and men in camp di charged their dutie with zeal and fidelity, and all deserve commendation. His Excellency, Goyernor AtkinSOll, ac ompanied by members of his tatf, paid an official vi it to tbe camp, encouraging by his presence all officers and men in the lischarge of tbeir duties.
I hal e no recommendation to make as to further improy ment of th1l camp. I am satisfied from tbe continued improvement which I notice in the camp [rom year to year that the Qnartermaster-General' Department of our
tate is in good bands, and that everything is being done toward tl,e perf cting of tLe camp sit, tbe roads leading tbereto and the hous tbere n that can be done with tbe limited means available. As the Isra lite of old were unable to make bricks without straw, so the tate of Georgia cannot make _oldiers witbout contributing sometbing in money to the purchase of needed supplie and equipment and to the giving of a suffiei nt amount to the men to encourage them in tbeir daily sacrifice of time and Jabal'.

AVAZ\~AR, GA., June 30,1 96. Adjutant-General tate of Georgia.-
IR--In ompliance with your orders I left this city on the afternoon of June 1 , 1 96, with my command, for Tybee Island, for a tour of duty aboard the

135
United tates steam hip Amphitrite and other duties on shore. Immediately upon our arrival I reported, aboard ship, to Captain Wise. He ordered me to have my command on the beach, abrea t the ship, the next morning at .30 o'clock. \Ve marched from our quarter, about two milE's from the point indicated, and upon our arrival two larg cutters and a catamaran were ent II hore for us. We embarked through the surf, and rp.ceived our first Ie on.
pon our arrival aboard the ship the men fell in promptly, and Il'eported, "ready for duty," with 4 officers and 43 enlistmen, a total of 47. The men were then given the run of the ship and told to inspect her thorou~hly, and to report Oil the quarter-deck promptly when the ass~mbly sounded.
My elf and officers were then taken into the cabin by the exe utive officer of tbe hip and instructed h w to divide the men in sections, division, j:!un and boats' crew, and al 0 shown bow to make out station hillet .
We then returned to the deck, the a embly was sounded, and when the roll was called the men weI' divid d and stationed according to their billets, each man having one, with bis name, number, division, etc., enulnerated. Our instruction then commenced, witb th settin~ up exercises. We were then drilled in the manual of tbe piece, marchingA and pacinO'il, according to the navy tactic, which were slightly different from what we had be n chilling by. Then si~naling was taken up, and we were hown th wig-wag y t m. A short rec BS wa taken for lunch. I had a lunch prepared on shore for alt band, and brought ome aboard the hip in a bag, and had our quarterma tel' to erve it out. We saved considerable time by this method. 'I.'his was repeat d each day. Myself and omceril are under obligations to th officers of the Amphitrite for Innch each day, which was served in their quarters.
After luncb the men were taken into the turret and instructed in handling the lO-inch breech-loading rifles. I went into one of the turrets, accompanied by En ign Cooper, and Lieutenant Broughton and En ilYll Walker goinO' with the other division. We went throu~h all of the drill, Iirin lY primer instead of cartridges.. \\ e weI' then ent asbore, landinO' tbrough tbe surf, and marched back to our quartets, tired, but enthusia tic. I tben had the guard formed and entinels po t d.
Tbe next morninj:!wa 11sher d in with a severe rain tonTI, and a the men had no change of clothing I kept th m in quarter until . 0 A. M. We then tl\l'ted in a JjO'ht rain, and arrived at 9.30 A. M. aboard the !tip. aptain Wise said I acted right in not coming in the torm.
We were then drilled at tb cond battery, and ea h man wa allowed three shot at a target, the rangc being 900 yards. The target-a keg-wa' o n sunk. Afterwards we fired at a piec of wood floatinO' in the eaway. The firing wa very good. All bands were then put through the ingle tick e. erci e .
The crew of the bip were tb n a mbled, and my men were acl O'iven on of them for a guide, and were told to follow them wberever they ,,'pnt. The fire alarm wa then sound tI, and all hand rushed to quarters. The supposed firc wa I ated jn the supcr tructure, and in a f w minutes there were five 'treams of water ready to play on the tire, while men with buckets, axe and blankets tood by, ready to a ist. I wa taken through the ship by ex-Officer Adaws. We found all the avenues of ventilation tightly closed. men at the band-pump, r ady to operate them, all the compal'lment doots closed and a man station d at a valve, ready to flood the magazine. The recall was 'ollUded, and the men di mi sed.
\Vbile they w re di cu ing the excitinlY ev nts through which they had pas ed, Captain Wise invited me into bi cabin. He told me to press a bntton wbich wa located over the head of his hed. I did 0, and instantly there were gong clan~ing all over the hip, and I could hear men hurrying from all quarters. He told me to follow bim quickly to tbe deck. We had bar Iy reached the deck when lin officer I' ported an imaginary collision on tbe port bow. We ha tened to that point, and found that a rope had been run under tbe hip's bottom (at the place th supposed hole was 10 ated), to which they were attaching with chains a large mat to stop th leak. The captain then showed me that all of th hatche were closed, 0 as to stop any water that should come on deck from ~etting into the hold. He also told me tbat every

136

man aboard 'I'll. on d ck, eo that in ('&s th hip hould have to be abandonerl all hand would tand a chance of bing aved. All hands were then

dismissed, and my command received [urthel' in tl'l1ction in ignalin!!" and

were told to memorize the code and b prepared to an wel' anv ignal sent

fr m the hip the next tim he comes. My orne I' and mell' w re very

attentive. and with tb thorou"'b in t!'uction we re eived [rom th Amphi-

trite' officers r don't s e how we an help howing a "'reat improvement the

next time \~e go aboard hip.

The Amphitrite had to leave ooner than she expect d, and as I had made

arrangements for four days, a your order call d [or, and in compliance with

the advice of our instructors aboard ship, I kept the command on the i land,

Ground not extensive enough for even elementary drill in minor tactics.

Permission to use ground for a mile or two south of tate camp conld be had,

I think. Crop would not be hurt and the "lay of the land" i such a to

illeke it possible to go into a valuable and hig-hly instructive course of field

exerciEe , of more benefit to these troops than any close order drill can now be.

"17. .fersonnel and Discipline.-Tbe personnel is excellent. Discipline gen-

06Tally good. The whole fvrce di played stronO" intere. t and desires to excel.

"rhey are not afraid of work, and are ver.v proud and earnest. 2. Theoretical Instruction.-Offic~r bad one bour of instruction eacb day.
It wa g nerally in form of ni cu sion of errors made at nrill or cer mony pre-

ceding, and explanation of pro~ram for next drill. 1.'bere were no lectures

given. The officers are very qUICk and intelligent and bave confid nee in

them elves. What is'm' re, tbeir men believe in them.

2f1. GU(1'd Dttty.-How performed. Officers and non-commissioned

-officers well in tructed. entinels well instructen. Any outpost duty.

'econd Lieutenant John A. Gurney, Fiftb Infantry, had upervi ion of

guard duty. He reports that great pr gress wa made and much soldierly interest ~hown. The duty was well p rformed and officers and men fairly

well in tructed. 'ome battalion C'omm::.nders have ( imulated) guard duty

practiced in armory. Wher this had been done the improvement was most

-marked. Lieutenant urney wa busy from guard mounting to guard

,molmting, visiting and instructing each guard and sentinel. 30. Tm'get Practice.-Cavalry, artillery and infantry. Any beld at sta-

,tion of troops. Any held in camp. Quantity of instruction, system and

..cla sification.

Range at avannnah, Augu ta, Albany and Atlanta ( riffin), for infantry,
up to 1,000 yard in orne cases j to (joo yards only in others. orne target

,practice in camp, but t 0 hastily conducted to be of much benefit. Blunt's

:System (modified on account of lack of sufliciellt quantity of ammunition) is

,u ed.

These onthem men-90 out of 100-are naturaUy good hots, and nearly

all have bandied fire-arms at an early age. At ranges up to 400 yards they

,nearly all sboot well. After tbat, and for 10nO"er rang s, they need as much

instruction a men from oth I' ections.

RE OMMENDATION

1. That the whole of the Volunteer Guard of G orgia go into camp for at lea t ten days evel'y year.
2. 'I'bat whenever possible, the m n mal'ch to the camping ground, with propel' thought to make all of the march one of instruction and benefit. This
.could be done by quite a large pruportion of the guard, as Griffin is centrally located.
3. Tbat much more time than is now given, be devoted to exercises in
minor taf1tics and elementary field engineering and topography. This could well be accomplishe 1 by baving a sy tematic and progressive plan ready before each en amDment.
These troops have pa sed far beyond the crude period and their officer. are intelligent, studious and anxious to learn and teach their men all that a
. oldieI' can learn in peace time. 1.'here is too much time occnpied in camp by drills which hnuld be well learned at home in company drills in close
.order and guard duty. There is no reason why th Manual of uard
Duty should not be ma tered at home and in the armori s-now done in some .ca~es-guardduty could be pra ticed.
Respectfully submitted, H. LwowrT,
First Lieutenant, Fifth Infantry.

or hired. Rations -1 0,000. Medical supplies, instruments, etc., would all

have to be purchased.

26. Drills and ceremonies. (a) Number and nature of. (h) Proficiency.

(c) Field exercise.

(a) As a rule company drills are held once a w ek at home stations for
infantry and artillery companies-at certain seasons oftener. Cavalry,. mounted, not 0 often. In order to get the men tog ther it is neces. ary to have many of these drills at night. Battalion drills, once a month, occasion-
ally oft.ener, where companies are stationed together. There are occasional drills for the purpose of instructing troops in the riot duty. There are no
regular time for parades or reviews. In the cities where there are enough troops. they are held at different times during the year. During the meeting of the Military Inter-State Association in Savannah parades, reviews, drills in
extended order, in tbe school of the company for infantry, cavalry, mounted, were beld daily. the following organizations taking part:
The First Infantry, the First Battalion of Infantry, a squadron of the First Cavalry, one company of the ixth Infantry, the Chatham Artillery\ the Battalion of Naval Re erve Militia. The econd Infantry was paraded ana reviewed twice tlurinlt the year on the occasion of tbe Governor's visiting 'Way-
cross and Valdosta. At the inauguration of the Governor the following organizations wllre a sembled in Atlanta.and reviewed by him:
The First Infantry, a part of the econd, Third and Fourth Regiments of Infantry, the Fifth Infantry, including its machine-gun battery and signal corp, a battalion of the Sixth Infantry, a part of the First Regiment of Cav-
alry and First Battalion of Cavalry, dismounted, Troops" B, " First Battalion -of Cavalry, mounted, the Atlanta Artillery and the Naval Reserve, Usually
all troops are paraded and take part in the Memorial day exerci es. At the encampment there was an early morn.ing drill company or battal-
ion, an afternoon drill, either battalion or company, and dress parade at sunset. Guard mount was held every moruing. Frequently the battalion com-
manders, at the conclusion of the parade, would have additional battalion
drill for a few minutes.

There was one regimental drill by the Fifth Infantry, a few drills in ex-
tended order-two of these illustrating attack and defense-participated in by the Fifth Regiment and First Battalion of Infantry, using blank cartridges.
ignal drill by the signal corps of the Fifth Infantry during th ir week at the encampment. During each week there was a brigade review by the Governor.
(b) From the beginning there was activity and interest di played by officers and men in these drills, and there was decided progress up to the end of
the encampment. Rome battalion commanders were new to the po ition or
had had little or no opportunity before camp to handle their battalions, and in consequence made many mistakes which they were always glao to have corrected. As tbeir duties became more familiar the drill of their battalion
showed marked improvement. Those who had been able to get their companies together at the home tations gave little cau e for criticism. Battalion
adjutants and sergeant-majors in the matter of posting guide and assisting in quick formations made many mistakes at first, but improved much with

.experience.

Hard, honest work was the rule, and the results of the encampment were

147
as sati factory as could have been h ped for for the limited time allowed for it. The cavalry were not put in camp this year.
2i. Personnel and Discipline.-Thepersonnel of the GeorO"ia Volunteers ic all that could be desired in making up a con ervative, intelli~ent and trong military force. Its members are representatives of all profe sions and employment in tbe tate. 'fhere ar f w organizations where applicants for admi sion ar not ubjected to clo e scrutiny a to character and babits.
Di cipline is ~enerally good. Wbere it seems to be lacking in some minor details it can be ea ily corrected by Rkers taking the proper action. Tbe men show a desire to conform to all regulation, and when they do not it is u ually for lack of proper instruction.
2 . Theoretical In truction.- chool for in truction for officers and non commissioned officers in some ornpanies. In tl'l1ction for officer one hour each day during tb encampment; in addition, battalion commanders usually had instruction for their officer on tbe subject of tbe drill for that day.
29. Guard duty. How performed. Officers and non-commi ioneu oRlcers II' II instructed. ntinels well instructed. Any outpo t duty.
Guard duty in the main was well performed. Many sentinel had never been on post before the encampment, but were instructed as well a the limited time would allow. A few of the officers and many of the non-commi sioned officers were new to the busine s. Much time wa devoted to their instruction with most sati factory result.
30. Target practice: Cavalry, artillery, and infantry. Any held in camp. Any held in stations of troops. Any held in camp. Under what system of instruction, and quantity 01.
No artillery 1 ractice. 80me target practice at home tation by both cavalry an 1 infantry. Tbere are ranl!:es at aVl\nnab, Augusta, Albany and Atlanta. The range in avannah is very complete and has been used thi year and will be used in the future for I' cord pra tice for the troop iu that locality as will the one in .Atlanta. Record practice has been held at camp !.leretofor. Facilitie for gallery practice have been furni hed to a part of tbe tate troops. Target practice is conducted according to Blunt's Firing ReO"ulation with ome modifications. The following rules govern: Preliminary practice
-Five hots at each of tbe ranges, 200 and 300 yard, and ten shots at 500.
Record practice-Five hots at each of the range, 200, 300 and 6 yards' ten at 500; ten at skirmish. In skirmi h Bring t!.le roup target-3 figuresis used, five shots being fir d advancing and five retiring; the po itions nre a laid down in the firing regulations, and are riO"idlyobserved. Classification: For a sharp hooter-An aggregate in regular practice at the known di tance .200,300, 500 and 600 yard, and in r gular kirmish practice, of 120 with the rifle, 10 with the carbine, out of a po sible of li5; for a mark man -an a 'regate in regular practic at 200,300 and 500 yard, and a a kirmi her with the rifle of 90, with the carbine 0, out of a po ible 1;'0; for a Jirst cIa man-an aggregate same range a for mark man, with the rifle of 75, with the carbine 70; for a second las mall. with th rifle of 7ii, with the carbine 55. The third Ia i compo~ed of those who !.lave fir d and failed to qualify as econd class men. The fourth cia is omposed of tbo e present not firing.
There has b en an unu~ual development of interest ill tarO" t practice which has b en materially ai led by the con truction of range in avannah, Atlanta, Augusta and .Albany, all of which have been con tructed almost entirely at the expen e of the troops. The results have b en mo t gratifying. The number of mark men and harpshooter qualifying thL y ar is far in excess of that of pr ceding year.. Riflem n (wm thi t:ltate competing at ea
irt, ew Jersey, won thirteen of the eighteen matches in which they ntered. 31. Transportation: 'Wagon, railroad, river. "0 wagons are owned by the
State for military purpose ; wag n transportation has to be hired when needed. The railroad system within the tate are numel'OUS, and afford ample faciliti s for tran porting the troops. There is navigation for light uraft craft through the inland waterways along the coast; also the Altamaha and Ocmulgee to Macon and above, and the Chattahoochee to olurnbu, which might afford facHitie for moving troop and stores under certain nece 'sities; al 0 the avannah on the ea t to .Augut a.
