6 BIT ICIMP MENIS J MACON 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.

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.
