The Probable Expenditure of
About a Hundred and Fiftv
Thousand Dollars.
AMONG THE MERCHANTS
Os the City Every Month that the
Troops Would Remain Here
Other Places.
While there Is yet some doubt concern
ing the location of winter camps for volun
teer troops In Georgia, the repeated dis
patches that have been sent out from
Washington during the last few days
naming Macon, Atlanta. Augusta, Amer
icus, Albany, Athens, Columbus as the
Georgia cities that have been definitely
selected by the war department as sites
far the encampment of volunteer troops
subsequent to the first of November would
seem to indicate that the chances of the
city at least are excellent.
While it is generally agreed that the lo
cation of a winter camp here would be
worth a great deal to the community in a
business way, there are perhaps very few
who appreciate just how great would be
the benefits to be derived.
The war department has announced that
two brigades will be stationed at each
camp. Now, as a full brigade consists of
three regiments, that means that each
camp will be made up of six regiments, or
between seven and eight thousand men.
The pay roll of a regiment amounts to
about thirty thousand dollars a month and
of six regiments to a hundred and eighty
thousand. United States volunteer sol
diers are not great savers, and a very
small percentage of the men in any regi
ment make any pretense of sending money
to the homefolks. With the majority such
is not necessary, as most of those who
volunteered in the service are men who
were bound to home by no ties of stern
duty.
Thus, once a month, when the paymaster
makes his visit, the volunteer find* his
ipocket heavy and no pressing obligations
to be met. Uncle Sam furnishes him with
every article that Is at al! necessary to his
comfort and well being, and he therefore
sees no reason why his monthly cash sti
pend cannot properly be employed for the
purpose of extracting as much pleasure as
possible out of his surrounding;. With rare
exceptions which only go to prove the
rule, this he proceeds to do. Sometimes
his month’s wages last a day, sometimes
two. and occasionally a week, but seldom
longer. During that time he fs a liberal
patron of the dry goods merchant, the
clothier, the grocer, the stationer, the
jeweler, the druggist, the photographer,
bar-keeper, the liveryman and every other
business man of high and low degree.
When his money Is all gone and if you
care to credit him, he will obligingly spend
his next month's salary in advance.
In every city where the volunteer troops
have been encamped business has been
wonderfully increased. It is altogether a
mistaken idea to suppose that the men pay
no attention to law and order and “paint
the town red," so to speak, at frequent in
tervals.

The following prayer has been written
by Bishop Doane of the Protestant Epis
copal diocese of Albany for use in the
churches throughout his jurisdiction du
ring the consultation of the commissioners
appointed to arrange the terms of peace
with Spain:
“Oh, Almighty God, who by thy bless
ing has given us victory in battle, bless,
we beseech thee, the consultations of those
who are charged with the decision of the
conditions of peace. Fill them with the
spirit of wisdom and knowledge and coun
sel and of thy holy fear, that they may be
enabled to fulfiill thy purposes and ac
complish thy will. Give us a sense of our
duty as a nation to seek only the things
that make for righteousness, that we may
maintain among ourselves and advance in
the world true liberty, good government,
justice and equity and peace. Arm us
with courage and faith to full our place
among the nations of the world as a peo
ple that do justly and love mercey and
walk humbly with our God. Keep us from
selfseeking and vain glory. Bless all in au
thority over us and all Christian kings,
rulers and magistrates everywhere, that
they may seek thy glory and the advance
ment of thy kingdom. Kindle in thy
church a holy zeal to make thy way
known upon earth. Thy saving health
among all nations and give peace in our
time, oh, Lord, through Jesus Christ,-our
Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
PREMATURE
Was the Annonncement that
Soldier Died in Hospital,
“Capt. T. : N. Hopkins was notified yes
terday by wire that Private John A. White
of his company had died in the hospital
st Macon. Cant. Hopkins wired the adju
tant of the regiment to have the body
shipped to Cairo, where the deceased
lived. The remains will probably pass
through here today, and Capt. Hopkins
would be glad to have the members of his
Dickinson's this morning to malse some
arrangements about attending the fun
eral.”
The -above article appeared in yester
day's Thomasville Times. The statement,
however, is untrue. Private White is not
dead. He is at the city hospital and Dr.
Napier says that he is getting along as
well as possible. It is true that White
has been a very sick man and that it was
thought at one time that he wou’d die,
but be is now on the road to recovery.
Capt. Hopkins’ company was pleasantly
disappointed yesterday morning when
White's body did not arrive and they will
find it a great relief to know that he is not
dead. Dr. Napier says that White is a
very lively corpse and that he is unable .to
understand how the Thomasville Times
got the information that White was dead.
AJI of the patients who are in the hos
pital are getting along as well as possible
and they will soon be able to be discharg
ed. Two of them have had typhoid fever
and the other pneumonia.
ON MULBERRY STREET
The Ladies of Hospital Association Wil Open
the Carnival Case.
The ladies of the hospital and kindergar
ten Association have secured the Ayres
building on Mulberry street, instead of the
Budd building, as was announced yester
day. It was thought at the meeing yester
day morning that the Budd building could
be secured, but it was found out after
wards that the building had already been
rented.
The ladies will serve delicious meals at
their case all during the Carnival and the
proceeds will be shared between the two
organizations. The place where the meals
will be served will be known as the Dia
mond Case, and all the gentlemen are Re
quested to pilot their visiting friends to
the place.
The case will be opened at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning and the menu will be
changed every day. While the Venetian
revel is going on the ladies will have a
tent at the intersection cf Cherry and
Third streets and will serve refreshments
at a moderate cost. The ladies have been
hard at work this week and they deserye
