It is not generally known that Theodore Roosevelt, the assistant secretary of 'the navy, ‘who has applied for a place on 'the staff of General Lee, is the son of a Georgia woman.

Place Was Selected Yesterday — Will Camp Out at Night and Drill Every Morning. Yesterday the committee selected by the Macon Volunteers, composed of Messrs. Granville Connor, W. E. Dunwody and C. B. Rhodes, went out to select a place to locate the camps that the Volunteers will occupy for the next week or two. The committee decided on the vacant fif'd in front of Colonel Huff's place in V 'tn ville as the most desirable for the purposes of pitching the‘tents. Coionel Huff generously told th? com pany that be would do anything to make the place more desirable that they might hugest. The place has all of the natural advantages, such as a spring and drill grounds. It will not be necessary to erect a mess tent, as the men will get their meals at home, going out to the camp after busi ness hours, and returning early in 'he morning. They will get up at 5 o’clock in the morning and have coffee and hard tack.

THE BAND PLAYED DIXIE As the Soldiers Left, and the Big Crowd Cheered Them on . Their Wdy. Four companies of the Fifth Regiment infantry United States soldiers passed ■through the city yesterday afternoon en route to Tampa. There -were twenty cars in both trains that brought the men and the supplies down from the McPherson Barracks. The first section reached Macon at 6:15 and the Second at 6:45. Long before the arrival of the trains the railroad cuts were lined with thousands of people who knew that the troops were go ing to pass through and wanted to seee them. As the first train came by a mighty shout went up from thousands of throats, and many a person who had been through the late civil war were painfully reminded of some of the incidents of those days. Some of the soldiers were sitting on top of the box cars as the Confederates did while going from place to place, and the waving of the grey campaign hats was not a new sight to many. The first section, consisting of ten cars, was in command of. Major Porter. There were two companies of fifty-six men each. Company F was commanded by Captain Geo. P. Bowen, Lieutenant E. C. Corna han and Lieutenant Crowly. Company A was commanded by Captain E. W. Ran dall, Lieutenants M. O'Brien and Frank Morrow. The second section contained companies C and D and the Second Regiment band, and as this section of the train pulled into Macon the band commenced playing na tional airs, and the thousands who were present sent up cheer after cheer as t'T-he Stars and Stripes’” and ‘‘Yankee Doodle,” but nothing could equal the scene when “Dixie” was played. Thousands of hats were tossed into the air, and the old vete rans, who had been letting the others do the shouting heretofore, forgot that they were old and shouted and capered like school boys. There- was a fire in their eyes that told well that they were again ready to follow General Fitzhugh Lee against any foeman. A News reporter boarded both the trains and asked a. number of the men if they were anxious to get into the field. They said they had been waiting for this oppor tunity for the past weeks with longing and that they were delighted with the idea. They are in heavy marching order with 'their tents and other utensils and accou trements. Sargeant Frank A. Kidwell, of Company F, lost his haversack just as the first sec tion of the train came into the city, and requests that whoever finds it forward it to him at Tampa, Fla., care Company F, Fifth regiment infantry. The haversack is marked with 'the number of the company and regiment and cannot be of any service much to any one but a soldier. If he does not get the haversack he will have it charged up to him, which means much to a soldier. It is equal to demerits in school. Pie will pay all expenses of transmission.

Professor Martin replied to the students and said that he was perfectly willing to go to the front as their captain and that if they would stick to their agreement he •would follow them to the last gasp. He said that he used the word follow advisedly, as he thought that they would agree with him that in the event of their going to the front oq account of his great height it would only be fair to him to al low him to command the company from the rear. This precaution, he was neces sary in order that he might be protected from the bullets of friends as well as foes.
