Waiting for a Dash at
the Enemy,
RATIONS A LITTLE HARO
But the Boys Manage to Have a
Pretty Good Time -Athletics
in the Camp,
Special correspondence to The News.
Camp Northen, Griffin, Ga., May 11.—
More soldiers are quartered nere now than
ever before- in the history of the camp—
and the soldiers know that they are hera
for business.
The tedious work of inspecting the re
cruits and organizing them into companies
is now going and it will take until tomor
row night to finish this work. Some of the
men who have been recruited ’Java never
handled a gun, and haven't the least idea
of military discipline, ami tne work of
drilling them and getting the.n into shape
for the duties'before them.will fall neavily
upon the officers and well drilled men in
tiie different companies, it is estimated
that it wil take at least a montn to com
plete this work.
Tiie Macon Hussars, Macon Guards and
Floyd Rifles were inspected by United
States buigeon Major Taylor. The exam
ination was not strict at all for the men
who had been favorably passel upon by
Dr. Li til.’, before leaving .he armories at
.Macon. They were not even undressed.
The companies marched to the hospital
and each man passed thrc.ug.il and a de
scription of complexion, aav and eyes was
taken, in cases where the men stood the
second examination they were turned
down with hardly a sling.e exception.
The Volunteers v ere given a rousing re
ception when they majc ...1 in yesterday
morning. They made a splendid appear
ance, and was the first company to come
into eamips in lull uniform and equip
ment, which will .have to be returned to
Macon at the government's expense. They
wire quar'iertd at the extreme Southern
position of the camp.
HOW THE SOLDIERS AIMUSE THEM
SELVES.
'So far there has been no drilling, and if
the boys assembled here did not possess
tiie happy faculty of knowing how to
amuse themselves, Camp Northen would
‘be the dullest place 'imagionable.
There are a hundred ways in which the
men amuse themselves. in the athletic
contest yesterday Fred Choate and Bill
Lo'fli y. of the 'Hussars, bore off the hon
or.-', defeating all comers in wrestling and
boxing. Baseball nines ‘have been organiz
ed. and tomorrow afternoon the .Macon
Guards and the Chatham Artillery will
play a game on the parade grounds.
Sack and wheelbarrow races and wrest
ling matches are scheduled to taike place
this afternoon. Boh Hodges is a valuable
aequis'ition to Uncle Sam’s army, and when
he marched proudly into camps yesterday
he was loudly cheered. .Lie will 'be de
tailed as one of the post commandan't’s
fun makers, and is now practicing for that
position, touching tiie risibies of the sol
diers from the pine tree districts, who
have not yet been curried.
Many of the men have brought their
musical instruments, and at. night 'the
music of a hundred voices and instruments
vies with that of nature 'in awakening the
echoes around the camp.
Though there is no sertous complaint at
tlie fare furnished by the government, it
is not w.hat many of the boys have been
used to, and the coming of the express
wagon is watched with eager interest, for
some of the more fortunate ones havfe al
ready received boxes containing many
home made goodies that are the envy of
the whole camp. The menu served so far
has been as follows:
Breakfast —Broiled bacon, stale light
bread, Yankee beans and black coffee,
with army sugar.
Dinner--Reef stew, Yankee beans, stewed
tomatoes and mashed potatoes.
Supper—©rolled bacon, Yankee beans,
rice and black coffee.
The supply of these very substantial ar
ticles of food is hardly sufficient to feed
the men, and a quartermaster’s life is
made miserable figuring to make 'both ends
meet.
Tlie bread which is given the soldiers is
of the poorest kind of “wasp nest” variety.
It is allowed to s’tand until it is stale, as
it is claimed that it is more nourishing.
Governor Atkinson spent yesterday at
the camps, and said that he was delighted
that Georgia had made such a fine show
ing.
A bulletin was posted on the boards yes
terday announcing that <Monijo had been
assassinated by some of his own men.
This created the wildest excitement and
the 'boys expressed the desire to he off for
Cuba at once.
Macon has sent more soldiers 'to camp
than any other city in ’the state, and the
companies© she has sent are made up of
the finest class Os men, and Major Kenan,
who arrived yesterday, is 'being congratu
lated on all sidese. I heard one of the
United States officers tell him that he had
the finest looking battalion of volunteers
he had ever seen.
'For the time being the business men of
Macon are reaping a harvest from the
camp, as t.he 'boys are rapidly getting rid
of what little money they have.

THE TOPEKA'S POWERS,
Called a Cruiser, But Really a Heavily Arm
ed Gunboat.
The Topeka, which has been called a
cruiser, but is really little more than a
heavily armed gunboat, comes, in point of
size, into a class between the American
vessels Montgomery and Yorktown, with
the speed of the latter. .Her displacement
is I.SOO tons, she is 250 feet long and has
35 feet beams, draws 15 feet six inches
loaded, and has 16 *knots speed. There
have been various stories regarding her
construction, and transactions in which
she has figured are somewhat mixed. She
was built as the Diagonese by’ Howaldt
(Bros., at Keil. Germany, for Portugal, 'but
was purchased by the United States from
the Thames Iron Works Company, into
•whose possession she had come some time
before the deal was made.
Originally intended, like the smaller
American gunboats, for work in rivers
where the vessels of deep draught could
not go, she was fitted to carry heavy guns
for a vessel of her displacement, and her
main battery consists of six guns, two of
which are of the six-inch class, the others
being smaller, while her secondary bat
tery contains ten guns, including eight
rapid fire and two machines. This arma
ment, with her good speed, should make her
an extremely valuable vessel, not only for
commerce destroying, but where agility’ to
give hard blows is needed. She is full brig
rigged, but as the use of sails is practical
ly a thing of the past on Americann war
ships, her masts will probably be stripped
of their yards and converted into pole
masts with small fighting tops for ma
chine guns.

ELECT OFFICERS
FOR NEXT YEAR
Knights Templar Have Ad
journed, and Meet Next
May in Augusta.
BARBECUE THIS EVENING
At Ocmulgee Park Will Wind Up
the Social Features of a Most
Successful Conc'ave.
The second session of the conclave of
Knights Templar of the state convened
this morning at 9 o’clock.
The first matter to be attended to was
the election of officers to serve tor the
ensuing year. The election resulted as fol
lows:
A. \V. Walton, Grand Commander,
Rome.
Julius L. Brown, 'Deputy Grand Com
mander, Atlanta.
T. E. Fletcher, Grand Generalisimo,
Forsyth.
E. A. Cutts, Grand Captain General,

con.
Samuel P. Hamilton, Grand Recorder,
Savannah.
F. O. Miller, Grand Standard Bearer,
Fort Valley.
Wm. Sweigert, Grand Sword Bearer,
Augusta.
R. B. Barron, Grand 'Warden. Macon.
Immediately after the election the offi
cers were installed and at 12:30 the con
clave adjourned.
The meeting next year will be held at
Augusta.
This afternoon the visiting Knights and
'invited guests, including the mayor and
•council of Macon, will be entertained at a
’barbecue to be given at Ocmulgee Park
The ears for the park will commence run
ning a't 3 o’clock and the barbecue wil]
continue up to 6:30.
A number of visitors left on the after
noon trains.
The meeting of the conclave this year
has been highly successful. The attend
ance has not been as large as in previous
years, a 'fact that is due to the war and
the movement of the 'troops rrom nearly
all the cities in the state.
The annual oration was delivered last
night at the Mulberry Street Methodist
Church by Mr. AV. A. Davis, who, at the
last moment, was asked to take the place
of Knight Sam P. (Jones, who was unable
‘to come, owing to sickness in his family.
The telegram announcing the inability
■of (Mr. Jones to be (present was received
only yesterday afternoon and iMr. Davis
had but a short time to prepare for his
task.
His address was, however, a very beauti
ful effort and was pronounced by the
Knights as 'the finest that has ever been
delivere before a conclave.
The music, which wa sa part of the rit
ual of the service and occasion, was fur
nished by a choir .made u<p of Mrs. Scho
field, Aliss Clara Belle 'Roberts, Mr. Wil
liam iDunwody and Mr. James MeCardel.
The Knights say that it was the most
■beatiful music they have ever heard and
that this was one of the most delightful
features of their visit to Macon.

OUTDOING THE GATLING GUN.
Shooting Thirty Thousand Bullets a Minute
by a New Method.
A Tyneside engineer. James Judge, man
aging partner of the AA’alker Engineering
and Galvanizing Company, has patented a
gun which he believes, when perfected,
will discharge the enormous amout of
30,000 'bullets a minute. IMr. Judge de
scribed his weapon and there seems to be
no theoretical objection to his design.
The gun discharges it missiles by cen
trifugal force, 'being, in fact, a wonderful
development of the ancient sling. .He has
a disk 'working in a case a't 15,000 revolu
tions a minute, a speed which has already
been obtained at practice. From the cir
cumference of the disk project two hands,
the bullets are poured into the case for a
hopper, and as they fall are caught by the
hands, which in coming around rain them
out in a continuous stream through an or
ifice. They are guided in’to a sleeve which
may be elevated or depressed, and sighted
like the muzzle of a rifle.
A great velocitj’ may be obtained by the
use of hand power, but the inventor’s 'idea
is to use bis gun upon an armored motor
car, which sould also have projecting
blades like the ancient war chariots, with
this difference that they' would be movable.
The disk of the gun is about three feet in
diameter, and as it travels at the rate of
about 15.000 revolutions a minute, 'the cir
cumferential rate is 45,000 feet. This would
impell bullets with tremendous muzzle ve
locity, and at close quarters would, Mr.
Judge declares, mean absolute annihila
tion to an enemy.
. An imperfect machine has already' been
tested and found to answer the expecta
tions of its inventor. IMr. Judge is an en
gineer of long experience, and is the in
ventor of water tight doors for warships, of
an automatic signaling apara-sus in use on
railways, and other contrivances that have
•proved useful in various departments of
mechanics.

PASSINGTHROUGH
Severn! Hundred Carloads of
Regular Fighters En
Route to Tampa.
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
Failroads Will Be Kept Rushed All
Day Today Hauling the Cavalry
and Infantry.
Macon was full of soldiers this moaning
and all day long they have been coming
in on the Central and the Southern roads.
This morning the Sixth and the Third
cavalry passed through.
In all fifteen train loads arc due on the
Southern and they have been coming in all
day about forty minutes apart.
The Third cavalry were at the depot for
some hours and watered their horses here.
They are a fine body of men under com
mand of Major H. W. Wessels and have
650 rank and file.
They went from here to Everett, where
they will take the Florida, Central and
Peninsular for Jacksonville and Tampa.
The same number of cars of soldiers
came in on the Central road on about the
same schedule and that road will be haul
ing the soldiers all day.
This morning a large number of the in
fantry left Chickamauga and will be here
sometime during the evening and night.
The six trains over the Southern carried
the Third cavalry, made up of 656 men
ami thirty-six officers, supplies and equip
ments. These trains were loaded at Chat
tanooga and all day yesterday the men
were busy placing their animals and equip
ments on the cars.
The first train left there at 6 o’clock
yesterday’ afternoon and arrived at 8
o’clock. A rapid trip was made. Here the
route was continued until Evesett is reach
ed, when the trains were transferred to
the Florida Central and Peninsular.
■Mr. Carty, of the clou tin.-rn. aeeompani.d
the first train to Tampa.
The infantry regiments will all go to
Tampa and will begin having today. The
First brigade has present for duty sixty
eight commissioned officers and 1,515 en
listed men; total, 1,613; absent, forty of
ficers and 115 men on detached duly. The
respective regiments report as follows:
Eighth—Twenty-three officers and 511
men.
i welflh—Nineteen officers and 485 men.
Sixteenth—Twenty-two officers and 522
men.
The Second brigade, composed of the
Second and Seventh regiments, numbers
about two-thirds of the First brigade, or
about 1,100, rank and file. The reports of
th.se regiments show that at least one
third of the officers borne on the rolls are
off on detached duty. These officers will
be ordered at once to report to their sev
eral commands for duty.
Orders have been issued from corps
headquarters materially’ lightening the
load of the infantrymen for the coming
campaign. By the terms of the order the
men in the ranks are to be relieved of the
knapsack, blanket, overcoat, canvas suit,
change of underclothing, soap and towels,
which are to be carried in wagons, two of
which will be detailed with each company.
The regulation load of the infantrymen is
about, sixty-four pounds, and this will take
off his shoulders about seventeen pounds,
leaving him forty-seven pounds to be car
ried on the march into Cuba.

FIRST BIG GUN
OF CAMPAIGN
For Legislative Honors Will
Be Fired at Court House
Tuesday Night, •
The first political gathering of this cam
paign twill be held at the court house on
next Tuesday night, when the working
men of this county will gather to nominate
a candidate who will receive their sup
port for the legislature for the primaries
to be held on June 6.
It is more than probable that Mr. D. D.
Craig will ‘be endorsed for re-election at
this meeting. He was the candidate of the
working men at the last election and
served with distinction through the last
session oif the house. His friends think that
if he is willing to allow the use of his
name again his re-election is a certainty,
and it is understood that he is not averse
to the honor.
Their are other aspirants who have their
supporters, but the sentiment seems to be
in favor of Mr. Craig.
Messrs, -a. N. Kendrick and Joe James
are prominently mentioned and both of
these gentlemen would make splendid
representatives and Jrave strong 'following,
but it may be said with certainty that the
sentiiment at present favors'Mr. Craig.
This is the first meeting and it will be
watched with the keenest interest by the
other candidates. The nomination by this
element Os any of the gentlemen men
tioned means that the others who are
seeking the nomination wilt have to form
their combinations, as it is a foregone con
clusion that the candidate of the working
men will 'be elected.
Messrs. John R. Cooper, 'Roland Ellis
ami S. A. Reid are practically announced
candidates and it is thought very probable
that Col. Joe Hall and Mr. A. W. Lane
will be in the pot.
Alfter the meeting on next Tuesday night
politics will begin to warm up to seme
extent.

Will Be the Result if the Order is
Carried Out anti Leave State
Defenseless.
The arms of the Georgia militia will,
within the week, be taken from them and
the companies will be ineffective for any
kind of defense. Orders sent out from
the war department indicate that this will
be done for the purpose of arming the
Georgia quota in the United States volun
teers.
It will require almost the entire lot of
arms and equipments now held by the
militia to furnish the 2,460 soldiers at
Griffin. ’Many of the arms are defective
and with these thrown out the remainder
will be all the Georgia companies possess.
The orders not only’ state that the arms
of the militia shall be used to equip the
raw recruits, but also outlines the manner
of procedure. One of the orders was i. ued
on April 23 and the other on May 5. They
are substantially the same.
They say that as soon as the first regi
ment of United ‘Slates volunteers is nuis
t. red in the officer in command of the
camp shall detail a lieutenant as chief ord
nance officer. After this .the governor of
the stale shall furnish to the ordnance of
ficer a complete invoice of the arms and
equipments in the possession of the militia
belonging to the government.
The ordnance officer is then io forward
to the chief ordnance officer in Washing
ton what amount of arms the recruits can
be given from .those held by the militia
and then the chief ordnance officer will
send blanks and other papers to the chief
executive calling for the arms.
'rhe governor will then moke a requisi
tion on the captains of the companies for
the arm.- and they will 'he turned over to
the stale ami finally delivered to the officer
■in e.niaiand of the United States volun
teers and hy him turned over to'the proper
eii’iCrts for disit ibution among the re
cruits.
This is the .process outlined in the order
of toe war department, to get >;i»e state's
soldiers .quipment into the hands of the
United States soldiers Unless- an order
is issued counterman.lilt'; the present order
now in effect this method will be followed.
Colonel Brown, in command of (lamp Nor
then, will appoint his ordnance officer this
week and in a very few days the demand
upon the militia for-a surrender of arms
will be made.
rm- tuwi. of this upon the militia,
should the outlined policy be carried out,
■will be disastrous.
WILL BE MOVED
FROM GRIFFIN.
It is Expected That the Geor
gia Volunteers Will Go
to Chickamauga.
It is very probable that the troops now
stationed at Griffin will be moved to
Ch i ckamau ga tcm orro.w.
dt is stated in some circles that the
movement will be to Tampa, but this is
not generally’ credited by those who ought
to know something about military.
Chickamauga will be empty of the reg
ular troops tomorrow and it is evidently
the intention of the war department to
mobilize all the available volunteer troops
at that point for the purpose of better
equipping and drilling them. The accom
modations at Chickamauga are necessarily
much better than those at Griffin and the
men will toe more comfortable than they
are at Griffin.
The railroads have been ordered to have
their trains in readiness for the accommo
datiovi of the troops from Griffin tomorrow
but they have not been given any’ inform
ation as to the point to which the troops
will be moved.
It is fairly certain, however, that by
Sunday. Camp Northen will be empty of
the troops that are at present there.
The English Patent tlUiee Library.
If the poor inventor is not entirely
ignorant of patent procedure, he knows
that the patent office, makes no search to
test the validity of his invention, and
so he comes to undertake it himself. If
he finds that his invention tippears in
no previous patent, he is confirmed in
his belief that he will at last see his
dreams realized and that he will in a
short time possess great wealth. If, on
the other hand, he finds his ideas have
been anticipated, his dreams of fortune
fade away like mist before a morning
san. and life, as he has known it lor so
many weary years—hard, toilsome, pit
iless to those who, like himself, lack
money— lies painfully clear before his
view.
A short three hours—or even less
spent in this library may plunge the
man who entered it hopeful and bright
into deepest despair, and it is certain
that within its walls many silent trage
dies of this kind are enacted week by
week and noticed by only few if any of
those around, Juut in\enters are a hope
ful race, and though some who stiller
such a disappointment of all their hopes
may never recover from it there is no
doubt many recommence their experi
ments and elaborate other inventions
from which they expect the same, or
even greater, realities of wealth and
happiness.—Chambers’ Journal,
Not Quite Certain.
A ease was being tried in court., and
the particular question at issue was the
number of persons present when a cer
tain event occurred. An honest but sim
ple minded Gentian was in the witness
box.
He had never taken an oath before
and was not a little disconcerted The
lawyer wt-o conducted the cross exam
ination saw his opportunity and bad
gered him with questions after the
maimer of fair. kind.
“How many 'lid you say there were
present?” he shunted, bringing his fist
down upon the table as though the fate
empires trembled in rite balance.
'Veil,” meekly answered the wit
ness. “o2 B course I gould not chuat say,
but I dinks due vas betvec-n six and i
sefen. ”
“Tell the jury what you mean by !
that,” roared tho lawyer. “How could ‘
xhere bo between six. and seven? Were i
there six or were there seven?”
“Veil, ” answered the witness, “may
be I vas wrong. Dere vas more as six.
but dere was not so much as sefen. One
was a fery lee tie boy.”—Pearsons
