ONE REGIMENT IN GIMP.
THE SECOND LEFT YESTERDAY
AT NOON FOR TAMPA.
A Touching Jasident When IfiOO
Comrades Sang “God Be With
You ’Till We Meet Affaih ’’*
Shoitly after 12 o’clock yesterday
the Second Regiment of Georgia Vol
unteers U. 8. Infantry were all being
carried to their new camp gewupJ at
Tampa, Fla.
At 4:30 o’clock in the mornibg
reveille was sounded and in leas than
fifteen miontea ‘ company hdd
reported to Coi. Garrard all present dr
accounted for. At 5 o’clock the corjt
panies breakfasted and just two bouse
later tents were struck, baggage packs
ed and ready to-move/
It was the busiest set of men evei
seen upon the ground before Every
officer and private 'toad bis duty to
perform and none, faltered until that
duty was accomplished.
Each Company bad its quarters hf
a baggage car where its teuts, cooking
utensils, rations and all necessary artH
olee, excepting those carried by each*
individual, was stored, and a guard
detailed to go down with this truck.
The men lounged around in tbeir
old quarters, now a jrlace of ruin
caused by the removal of the tents and
necessary camping outfit, while pa
tiently awaiting the command to "fall
in,” and “forward march" to the wait
ing train
The first battalion composed most
ly of Savannah troops commanded by
Col. Garrard was the first to take tbeir
leave over the Southern railroad. They
marched to their cars amid groat
oboula and good wishes from comrad
and friend. Each company was al
lowed two and one half ears which
Was a sufficiency to allow each man
one seat, "{his battalion took their
departure about 11:30 o’clock, when
the Central train in two sections warn
st once’carried to the side track upon
the camp giound for the second bat
talion.
As these companies headed by Col.
Oscar J. Brown and staff were march
ing from the ground to take their de«
parture they passed directly in front
of the First regiment under command
of Col. Lawton, who bad ordered hie
men to arms to pay due respect to de
parting comtada, and at the command
of Col. Lawton, three cheers went up
from the throats of every man in his
regiment.
The waving of hate and flags and
the cheers of the men stirred the blood
in every human heart. But that was
nota’.l
The moment the cries ceased, some
man under Col. Lawton, with a heart
ae big and true as ever beat, and a
voice as pure and eweet aa a bird,
started the old sweet song, “God Be
With You ’Till Wo Meet Again.” As
if by magic the words were caught up
down the line until every man was
singing at the top of his voice.
A moment—only one—of intense
silence followed, when Col. Brown
faced his men aud“ ordered three
cheers for Col. Lawfpn’s regiment.
With gun in one hand, hat in the oth
er and heavily ladened backs, each
heartily responded to their colonel’s
call.
It was an impressive scene and one
which touched the hearts of all. All
who witnessed the scene were brought
tape to face with patriotic incidents
never to be forgotten, and all dropped
a tear of joy and sorrow. '
This was coon over, and the First
regiment bad returned to their quar*
ter* and dqty.
Col. Lawton detailed 72 men to
clean up the grounds just evacuated
by Col. Brown’s regiment, and ere
long no trace of the former camp was
visible.
The officers’ headquarters, faave been
moved into the mess balls, where they
have better quarters now,
Col. Lawton has determined to keep
his command under the strictest mili*
tary discipline and train bio men in
the very best of shape for active seri
vice, should they ever be called into
the geld.
When Nature
Needs assistance it may be beat to render
in promptly, bat one should remember'to
use even the most perfect remedies only
when needed. The beat and most simple
and gentle remedy-is the Syrup of Figs,
mannftctured by the California Fig Syrup
Company.
