On Decision Rests Question of • Number of Regiments. Georgia pays one cent per mile to railroads for handling her troopa within the state; Uncle Sam pays two. cents, and upon that point largely hinges the laaue as to whether two or three regi ments go to the encampment at Chlck- amauga In August from this state. Colonel A. J. Scott, assistant adjutant general, has been wrestling with the roads for soma weeks to gat tha ona- cent rate allowed the state. The rail- roads to date have failed to sea It that way. Aa tha encampment la to he held under the auspices of Uncle Ham, then Uncle Sam ought to pay the freight. And since Uncle Sam le taxed juet one cent more per traveled mile than I ha state, the railroads see a tidy little sum In hanging to the government flguree. Colonel Scott has held one conference with ihe passenger officials, but gat little satisfaction. The matter was de. ferrod to the I0(Jt of June, when the Southeastern Paesenger Asaocla.lon will meet here to decide the Issue Anal ly. Since Ihe business of handling Georgia's troopa would be strictly In terstate, Colonel Scott very righteous ly thinks the state rate of one rent per mite ehonld obtain. The railroad folk want to make an Intra-slate Issue of It—on Juet what grounds does not ap- pear. The Fifth regiment has decided to go to the encampment, whether the state pays or not. Jf necessary, tha ragl- meht will defray Its own transportation expenses. If only two regiments ora allowed the First and Second will go. Georgia troopa will be given only one week In camp—from August 5 to II. ' Everything now depends upon the railroads—If they Insist on the govern ment rate of two cents then one ragl mant will have to be left out. Thi meeting of the passenger association on June :o will Anally determine It. In Addition to thk national guard of aeoralu, the states,.of Virginia, North caraBne, Smith Carolina Florida, Ala bama Xllseleslppl and Tennaase# will be represented at Chlrksmauga.
