6 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 mer. 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.
