,Hni> South Georgia. ffrogtess.. THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1904. New Series, Vol XIV—No. 34 TO PENNSYLVANIA. Georg)* Soldier Boy* May go Tatra to Camp in July. Major Walter E. Coney, First infantry, G. S. T., stated yester day to a representative of the Savannah Press that there was no doubt that the Georgia state troops would go into camp this year, probably in July, in the state of Pennsylvania and that the men would be paid the same as are the regular army. What Major Coney has to say is interesting in the light ot contrary statements which have to be given promi nence in various papers in the state. The plate favored for a camp this year seems to be located in the middlo states, and will proba bly be in Pennsylvania. The idea, as at present contemplated, is to have two camps of about 16,000 troops each, most of which will be militia, and to have these eamps asperated only by a dis tance of several miles, in order that the respective ' forces may operate therefrom against one another. The proportion of militia troops allotted to Georgia ior these ma- nouvers will probably be about two-fifths of the total number of the state troops, which would be the neighborhood of 1,8000 men or three regiments of 600 men each, averaging about 60 men to the oompany. The Thomasrille company is one of the best in the state and [members will certainly go if any droops are sept from Georgia. The ir.en are much pleased at the prospects of a northern trip to draw (18 per, transportation and rations, from Uncle'Sam during a rummer outing.
