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.
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS^

word has just been received ftom
Washington that the Postoffice
Department has ordered a mail
clerk placed on- the passeugor
trains Nos. >78 and 74, between
Albany and Thomasvillq on the
Atlantic Coast Line Railway..
Postmaster Dismnke was noti
fied several days ago by the Su
perintendent of Railway Mail Ser
vice that this arrangement would-
be made if the Atlsutio Coast
Liue would put on a oar for ,the
service, and it iseupposed that the
news from Albany means that the
railroad has deoided to put ou the
oar.
The train arrives here-at 10:80
in the morning,' aud brings the
through mail from Atlanta, which
is oarried as far as Albany by the
Central of Georgia’s early morn-
