Regiment Generally in Good Condition—Review of the Troops. Chattanooga, Tenn., August 15.—The First Georgia bears the record today for health. A 'Constitution man called at Col. Lawton’s headquarters today and inquired how many sick he had at the division hos pital and was told that there were cftily four, a condition which has resulted from the strict and systematic care Oodonel iLawton has observed in attending to the proper sanitary regulations of hie camp. His work is not quixotic and periodical, but is intelligent and constant. The camp is not clean one day and dirty the next day. Garbage is not removed and buried one day and left to reek on the bare ground the next, but the camp is cleaned daily. The garbage is removed and buried every twenty-four hours and there are no noisome odors and foul stenches arising from the vicinity of his camp. His men are willing and anxious to help him keep up this record. Governor Atkinson and staff have notified Colonel Lawton that they will be present on Wednesday next when General Breckinridge will review th# great army now before it is separated. This event promises to be one of great interest all over the country. The rail roads have given rates and people are ooming from every section of t'he Union. Notices have been received of excursions from every bordering state and many are coming from the larger cities of those states having troops here. The news of the coming of Governor Atkinson has had a stimulating effect among the men and the boys will brush up and do all within their power to make the governor feel proud of his troops. The governor will be royally entertained at the eamp. Colonel Lawton will hold some kind of exercises, but has not definitely decided upon the program. The camp of the regiment was a very quiet place today. The majority of the men spent their time writing letters. Early in the morning Colonel Lawion gave six men in each of the compa. iec a pass to Cbattanocg.i and over seve ity-Hve of the men came to the city, many going to Lookout Mountain for an airing. Major Kenan, field court officer, was busy during the early morning horn’s. Just twenty men were before him on the charge of absence without leave, the same being due to the usual pay day festivities. Each man was fined $5 and given ten days in the guard house. Six recruits will arrive tomorrow. These men, it appears, are to be mustered in just in time to be mustered out of the service. Colcnel Lawton has not yet received per miss ion to send a guard after the eleven pr. enters at Macon, but hopes to start L t utenant and Adjutant White some rime tomorrow. The adjutant has received a th-oe days leave of absence.

Carnival polities will absorb the atten tion of the town from now on. The idea of opening up the selection of a carnival king to a popular vote at the rate of 5 cents a vote, which originated in the fer tile financial brain of Mr. Ellis Talbott, chairman of the committee having charge , of this most important feature of the car nival. The voting has started off with six candidates in the field, but “there are others. Messrs. Winship Cabaniss, Pren ' ties Huff, C. H. Hall, Jr., Lee Happ, Fel ton Hatcher and Nat iWinship are the en tries up to date. Cabaniss leads with, a ' hundred votes.

This is not 1 I at ail Improbable. Within the next few ' ! days some names will go into the list that 1 I will be a surprise and will set some of the I oandidatets now in on the hustle for boodle ■ ' for votes. It will cost the king of the oar ' nival and his friends SSOO to get the place of honor, and he may consider himself very lucky if he gets it at that figure. The advertising committee of the oarnl -1 val has placed an order for 10,000 of the most elaborate one sheet lithographs ad -1 vertislng the carnivaJ that have ever been ' used in the South.

Organized by Judge Felton and In structed to Look Into All Mat ters Requiring Attention. The superior court met this morning, Judge W. H Felton presiding. The grand jury was organized with Ma jor W. H. Ross as foreman, and with the following members: W. H. Mansfield, Geo. B. Jewett, R. A. Johnson, Morris Harris, Ben T. Ray, T, J. Ware. F. A. Cobwin, H. L. Baa-field, C. M. Newberry, Sr.. J. H. B.

Judge Felton charged the grand jury i saying that they had been called especially to investigate the case of Taylor, now in Bibb county jail, charged with the murder of his wife in the Warrior district about four weeks ago. The judge said that while this was the special object for the calling together of the grand jury, there were other matters to receive their attention, and especially those cases now in jail charged with va rious crimes. The grand jury would be , able to take these cases up and relieve the jail. The grand jury at once went into session and commenced work with Solicitor Gen eral Ellis. Before adjourning at noon the grand jury had found a true bill for murder against Taylor. It is stated today that the criminal dock et will be called in the superior court on Monday next, and that Taylor’s will be the first case heard. So far Taylor has not definitely decided on counsel. Mr. Hope Polhill is not yet certain that he will undertake the case I and so stated to the court this morning. He will be ready at 10 o’clock .tomorrow morning to say whether he will defend or not. In the event he declines to undertake the case counsel will be appointed by the i court tomorrow. It is understood that the plea in Taylor’s case wild be insanity, in which event he will first be placed on trial on that issue, and , should the jury then find that he was not insane at the time of the commission of the crime, he will be tried on the charge of murder. ; MAJOR WOOTEN SPEAKS OF FIRST. Boys Are All Right, But La dies Should Send TMings Direct to Them. Major W. E. Wooten, of the First bat talion of the First Georgia Regiment, wm i In the city last night and was asked about I the condition of the boys of the regiment, i I He said: “The boys are all getting along well . enough and we have nothing to complain i I of. Only the sick ones in the hospital are ' the ones who suffer. They are in need now : a few things which the government does i not supply and which the Relief Associa tions have been sending, but I think ths association should send their t'hrngs direct to the regimental hospital instead of to i the general hospital, and then the Georgia i boys could receive the benefit of them. ; “As it is now they only get a small por » tion of the things sent. Other regiments ■ have people at home who send them ths ; | necessary things and I think the Georgia ' people should send their things direct to ; the Georgia boys. ■ “The majority of the sickness is caused » by the eatibles sent to the camp by the j home folks, and I would advise the people » ' to send nothing to the boys which is not abeolutcly necessary for them to have. Ths rich food gem rally makes them sick as they are not accustomed to it. “ “The health of the eamp is excellent and only a few of our men are sick. We i j have one of the best drilled and best dis • will march to Karahar htrahtrahtram ff I ciplined regiments in the service. We will march to Knoxville, Tenn., in a few days and it will be a splendid thing for the regiment. The men are all used to the I long marches and this one will not hurt them.’’ i He was asked about the men who were ■ arrested here Friday for leaving the camp 1 I without permission. i | “I have no idea that they were trying to j desert, but they will be severely punished ' anyway. There has been a tendency in i j the men to want to go home when they got ; , paid off, but the colonel made the rule i | soon after we reached Chickamauga that i only two privates from each company would be allowed to leave the company ' each day and that only two officers could . leave the regiment at the same time. From what I can understand these men applied ' for passes and were refused them, and they ' decided to come anyhow. They were out for a good time and would have returned in a few days, but the colonel intends to punish them.’’ The major came down to Macon law night with his wife, who was 1 on her way to her home in Al bany. The major returned to ChickamAugsa this morning at 2:05 over the Southern. The major is a very popular man with his men and he has many friends in Macon who are always glad to see him.

ASPHALT MEN STILLHGHIING They Will Go Before Council Again Tomorrow Night With an Effort To HAVE BRICK RECONSIDERED. The Biggest Move Yet to Be Made and Some Interesting Develop ments Are Probable. The fight between the asphalt and the brick men is not over yet, notwithstanding the award that has been made for the pav ing of Third street with brick. Mr. Horne, representing the Alcatraz Asphalt people, says that an effort will be ; made tomorrow night before council to get j the matter reconsidered and to secure the ! contract for asphalt. The < :.i be a strong one and will ■be an interesting development. In this connection Mr. Horne has fur nished the following clipping from the Louisville Times, bearing date of August 12th. "The Board of Works is preparing for another big asphalt letting. Everything will be in readiness as soon as the ordi nances are passed, and the advertisements inserted for the benefit of the contractors. It is proposed to construct Chestnut street from where the vitrified block ends in the neighborhood of Thirtieth on down to Western Park, and in addition to let the contracts for several blocks on East Broad way at the same time. This letting will involve the expenditure of a considerable amount, and many contractors will com pete. “It is probable that the board in future, when advertising for bids for original and reconstruction street work, will ask for bids on asphalt exclusively, or for bide on both asphalt and block, the difference in the price, material considered, to influence the decision on the award. “The Board of Works believes that the asphalt streets are the cheapest and beat when they can be laid at low prices. When it is remembered that vitrified block cost sls per square, according to re cent bids, which were low, it is seen that the difference in the asphalt square and the block square ranges from $2 to $3. The Board of Works and the city engineer. It ie said, have reached the conclusion that as phalt is far superior to brick for street paving, and that the city could well af ford to pay $2 or $3 difference for asphalt streets when properly laid. If only asphalt bids are asked by the board the blocks and brick contractors would have to content themselves with alley and sidewalk con tracts, though, of course, in some localities it might be found that block was preferable as a paving material. “The advantages claimed for asphalt paving is that it makes a durable street, and at the same time reduces the noise of traffic to the minimum. When properly laid with a concrete base and binder it ' will last for years, and should it become worn in places these worn spots could be repaired at slight cost. This kind of a street, is is said, will stand the heaviest traffic without wearing out so soon as the brick or block street. “The Board of Works has no desire to discriminate against the brick or block contractors, but as long as the asphalt companies put prices down low it is pro posed to build as many asphalt streets as the appropriation will allow. “One or two of the streets in Chicago, over which the very heaviest traffic passes, are now being paved with asphalt. It is claimed that it will stand the wear and tear better than either block or granite, built properly. These streets are rolled with a ten ton roller.” BROTHERHOOD LEAGUE Will Make a Strong Effort to Relieve Suffer ing from the War. ‘Circulars are being distributed in the ' city which are issued by the war relief corps of the International Brotherhood League, a theosophical organization. This league was founded April 29, 1897, 1 by Katherine A Tingley. Mr. Iverson L.Harris, of Macon, is one 1 of the trustees. The other members of the board of trustees are located in various parts of rhe United States. This organizx ! run proposes to bring its whole strength 1 to bear in relieving the suffering incident to the Cuban war, and the members of the league have been constituted by the pres ident a war relief corps. Certain members in different parts of the Union are authorized to receive sub scriptions on behalf of the war relief corps. Among the three in the Southern states so authorized are Messrs.
