AMONG THE
JLDIERS
The Military Getting Ready
For Monday’s Review.
SOCIAL LIFE IN CAMP
Departure of the Engineers Batal
ion—Salute so the Confederate
Monument.
The First battalion of the Third Engi
neers left yesterday afternoon over the
Southern for Tampa, Fla., where they will
take the transport for Cuba. The men were
escorted to the train by the other battal
.ions of the regiment and the parting scene
was very sad. The men marced from the
camp into the city and attracted much at
tention as they passed.
The Engineers have won a warm place
in the hearts of the Macon people and
anything they want in Macon from now
on they can get it. Yesterday afternoon
as the regiment passed the Confederate
monument, the colonel gave the command
“'Port Arms,” which is the marching salute,
and as the regimental colors came by the
color sergeant also saluted. It was a grand
scene, and had there been many people in
the streets at the time it would have no
doubt brought forth a great applause. Sev
eral old veterans were standing near and
•witnessed the act and were moved to tears.
Last night it was the subject of much com
ment on the streets.
The battalion that left yesterday after
non were in command of Lieutenant Col
onel Jadwin. He will be in charge of the
men until they arrive in Cuba, where Col
onel Biddle will assume command and be
gin work at once preparing the camps. The
men in this 'battalion had made many
friends in the city during their short stay
here and many people were at t'he train to
see them off. The men had to wait at the
depot quite a while for the train to be
tmade up. It was thought when the men
•left camp that the train was in readiness,
Unit on arriving at the depot they found no
. train and it was necessary to make up one.
About three hundred soldiers were in the
battalion which left for Tampa yesterday
afternoon. They did not like the ieda of
going and said that they did not think it
was right to send them into Cuba at this
lime .after peace had been declared.
Before leaving the camp yesterday after
noon Chaplain Small offered up a prayer
for the men who were going into Cuba and
at the conclusion several hymns were
sung. T'he men then marched 'to the train.
They reached Tampa this morning at 9
o’clock and will sail tomorrow for Matan
zas, where they will prepare the camps of
the First army corps which will be near
that city.
The men will have a great amount of
work to do. as preparing a camp site is no
easy job. The remainder of the regiment
is expected ito be ordered to Cuba in a
few days to 'assist in the work and it is
very probable that they will be sent.
SEVENTH CAVALRY.
A large number of visitors were at the
camp yesterday afternoon inspecting the
camps and horses. Al] of them seemed
well pleased with the manner in which
things were arranged, and many compli
ments were paid them. The officers of
the regiment are anxious for the men to
have a drill ground, so that they can have
regimental drills, but so far no ground has
'been found that would be large enough.
The Seventh Cavalry is known as a bri
gade and Lieutenant Colonel ■Cooney, who
is in command, receives orders direct from
headquarters. It is known as the Fourth
brigade of the First division. It takes an
enormous quantity of grain and and forage
to feed the horses of this regiment and the
local firms are taxed to the utmost to keep
in a supply for them.
The men say that next (Monday they will
make a better show than ever and that
they will surpass everything on parade.
Every man has been busy on his equip
ments for the past few days, burnishing
them up for the presidential review. The
meq say that it has been some time since
they have been review by the president,
and that they intend to make the best
show possible on the day that he is here.
Very few men of the cavalry are on the
sick list, for as a rule, they are generally
healthy. There are two men suffering
from penumonia, but the surgeons say
that they will recover and that they are
in no danger.
The officers are expecting to be ordered
to Cuba in a few days. They say that the
government will not allow them to remain
on so good a camp grund for any length
of time and 'that they will either be sent
to Cuba or to some other place to be
camped in the mud. All of them are well
pleased with the camp site at the park and
the only fault they are finding is that itis
so much better than they have been having
that they think too much of it.
Guard mounting is held every morning
tat 8 o’clock, and for the past few mornings
a number of city people have been down
to witness the formation. It is interesting
to watch the soldiers and horses drill.
THIRD ENGINEERS.
The camp loks somewhat deserted today.
The absence of the First Battalion gives
the camp n bare appearance and the toher
men of the regiment seem somewhat blue
on account of their absent comrades.
Every man in the regiment hated to see
them go.
No dress parade was held yesterday af
ternoon on account of the men going to
the train with the members of the First
battalion, but it will be resumed as usual
xhis afternoon. About 500 men are in the
camp now and the men are beginning to
feel lonesome. Applications for discharges
are still being sent in but very few of
them are being ntoiced. It seems as if
the officers have no feelings for the men,
as no attention is paid to their requests.
The privates are being worked hard at
present and everything will soon b a in tip
top ccndi’.ion. The regimental hospital is
well conducted and at present there are
many men confined there with colds. Some
few have : neumonia but none of them
ar? «eriously sick. Twenty men of the
signal corps went with the first battalion
yesterday to Cuba and wil establish a sig
nalling station on the coast.
Colonel Gaillard says that he expects
the remaining two battalions will be sent
to Cuba in a few days. The engineers are
alw'ays used to prepare camps and as there
I are only two regiments of engineers in tt>e
: First ary corps, the men here will probably
j be called on in a .few days to follow their
comrades who left yesterday.
The men of this regiment are kicking on
■ account of the open cars used by the street
♦ar lines. They say that the company
should put on closed cars, as the weather
is very cold and it is very uncomfortable
*cr *iem to Tave to ride scve-tl miles
without any protection.
All of the soldiers have been paid off
and most of them have already spent their
i money and are looking forward to the time
I when the next pay day comes. The engi
neers generally get more money than the
j other soldiers of the army and they some
times spend it faster.
Clump h ask-ell.
Some exciement was caused yesterday
afternoon when one of the privates shot
and killed another. The killing 'was done
while the regiment was on dress parade,
and it was not known until after the men
| came in. The killing occurred in the camp
the Third North Carolina. The man who
did the killing escaped but was captured
and placed under guard.
Recently the officers have had some
trouble with the men who come into the
city and get drunk. "When they return to
the camp in that condition they have no
regard for the regulations of the camp
and it is necessary to put them under
guard. Several so the officers have been
putting the negroes who raised distur
bances on the under arrest, and the
officers of the Tenith Immunes say that so
far none of their men have been reported
to them for disorderly conduct.
The two regiments that are causing all
the trouble are the Sixth Virginia and the
Third North Carolina. The soldiers of the
two regiments are mean and have tno re
gard for orders and at times their officers
cannot control them.
There are several blind tigers near the
camps and the officers are making an ef
fort to find out who are keeping them. It
is said that they do a thriving business
and it is expected that they are eing run
right in the midst of the camp.
A number of negro soldiers have been
dressing in civilian’s clothes of late and
coming to the city. A number of the men
were caught in the act last night and this
morning they are in the guard house. It
is not known where they got the civilian
clothes, but all of the tents will be thor
oughly searcher today and every man
found with civilian clothes will be put un
der arrest.
When the verdicts of the courtmartiai
that is now in session at Camp Haskell are
published there will be some sensational
disclosures. Yeserday and today the at
tention so the court was taken up with the
trial of Corporal Edwards, of the Seventh
Immunes, who is charged with the murder
of 'Sergeant Green, of the same regiment,
shortly before the regiment left Camp
Hamilton. Lexington, Ky. Following this
case another fan will be placed on trial
for his life for a murder that was com
mitted while the same regiment was at.
Jefferson Barracks, Mo., just after being
mustered into the service early last sum

SECOND OHIO HAPPENINGS.
John L. Corey, of company I. Second
Ohio volunteers, has been engaged by The
News, to act as its correspondent for that
regiment, and he will endeavor to keep
readers of The News apprised of the hap
penings in this organization from this
date. He has many Ohio papers to .look
after, but as he thinks much of Macon and
its people, has consented to act as The
News’ representative.
Twenty-four members of the regiment
were made happy Tuesday, by-being or
dered discharged from the volunteer ser
vice. The men are from various compa
nies, and as they are all exemplary sol
diers, they will no doubt be greatly missed
by members of their respective com
mands.
Regimental Adjutant A. B. Collier is
now enjoying a fifteen day’s leave of ab
sence with friends and relatives at Renter,
Ohio. O. L. Albright, Third battalion is
now acting In Captain Collier's place.
Major Surgeon F. D. Bain, who was de
tached from the regiment several months
ago and assigned to duty with the ambu
lance corps, which saw more hard duty
in Porto Rico, is now enjoying a sixty
day’s visit with his wife and many friends
in Ohio. He has during his stay in his
native state, delivered some excellent lec
tures, which were well received. He will
join his regiment in a short time, and will
be warmly received by every member of
the command.
Sergeant Sharpe, Corporal Nevitete,
Privates Will Fink and Henry Nowell are
now enjoying a seven day’s furlough with
their parents in Renter, Ohio.
Lieutenant Finklestone, assistant sur
geon, is now organizing a glee culb, com
posed of the best social talent in the regi
ment. Thirty members will take part, and
it expects to give an entertainment at
Macon. Ga., about Christmas time. He
formerly sang in the churches of New
York, and fully understands the training
of voices.
Captain >R. D. Smith, of company I.
bears the distinction of being the young
est captain in the volunteer service of the
United States This distinction belonged to
Captain Gasser, of company E, until a few
months ago. when Captain Smith was
promoted to the position from first lieu
tenant. He kas received two promotins in
the past seven months, i. e., from first
sergeant to first lieutenant, and then to
captain. He takes a great interest in his
company, and works hard for its upbuild
ing.
Mrs. Matus, wife of the leader of the
Second’s band is now enjoying a visit with
her husband.
Mrs. ‘Matthals. wife of the genial captain
of company D, is visiting friends in cam.
Teh wife of First Lieutenant Bornd, of
company A, is also visiting her husband
for a few days.
Probably the youngest soldier we have
ever seen and one who understands and
can execute the manual of arms with the
“tried and true,” is the 3-year-old son of
Lieutenant R. E. Bornd. of company A, of
Findlay The little fellow has been with
his father more or less of his time since
the regiment arrived at Chickamauga, and
with a minature rifle made for him, he can
go through the manual in a manner that
would do credit to any member of the
Second, On crossing the color line he sa
lutes the colors in teh most proper manner.
The little soldier wears the uniform of a
first lieutenant, and he is a favorite of
every man in the camp.
Dress parade Is held every evening at 4
o’clock. The soldiers are always welcome
to entertain visitors, and their presence at
any time is greatly desired.
The 'death of ex-Senator Calvin S. Brice,
of Ohio, is deeply mourned in the Second
Ohio, especially by the members of com
pany C. This company is from Lima, the
home of Mr. Brice, and the boys all knew
MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16 ifcgb
him and loved him. Through his influ
ence fully twenty-five members of the
company have secured discharges and re
turned to private life.
A number of the wives of army officers
who have been with their husbands ever
since the troops have been at 'Macon are
returning home to spend the holidays. The
last to go was Mrs. 'Miller, wife, of Second
Lieutenant John P. Miller, of company »M.
•Second Ohio. She left this morning for
her home in Paulding, Ohio.
PRESIDENT’S ESCORT.
It is understood that the Second Ohio
regiment, being from President McKinley’s
own state, will be assigned to the duty of
escorting him from the station to the re
viewing stand. This regiment has had
the pleasure of entertaining Mr. McKinley
for many years at his annual encamp
ments, and the officers and men are pre
pared to welcome him with especial fervor.
MIRACULOUS CURE OF ASTHMA.
The statement published below confirms
the claim of Dr. Schiffman that he has
now discovered an absolute remedy for
Asthma, a disease which has heretofore
baffled the skill of the most noted physi
cians.
Mrs. 'Mary Zachery, Pleasant Hill. La.,
says: “I have found your Asthma cure a
permanent cure for asthma, for which I
used it seven yeare ago. I have never had
the slightest return of the trouble since.
I have also found your remedy excellent
in Bronchial affestions. I shall ever have
a feeling of gratitude for the 'benefits de
river from your Cure.”
Packages of <Sohiffmann’s Asthma Cure
may be obtained of all Druggists at 50c.
and SI.OO per package or by writing to Dr.
R. Schiffman, Box 804, St. Paul, Minn.
Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making a better ar
ticale than your competitor if you can
not get a beter price for it?
Ans. —As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much larger
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for yeans and have found
that it can always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exagger
ated claims, but are certain to return to
the one reemdy that they know to be re
liable, and for coughs, colds and croup
there is nothing equal to Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. For sale by H. J. Lamar
& Sons.
