FIRST BATTALLION MUSTERED.
Major Spence Takes the Oath Amid
Three Rousing Cheers-
Capt. Stewart completed bis compa
ny, Co. B, yesterday, and thus com*
pleted the First battalliou of the Third
Georgia regiment.
The rain prevented the dress parade
and instead Major Spence marcbed
bis battailion on the field and look the
oath of allegiance. Immediately as
terward, Lieut, Kimbrough gave the
word and the entire camp shouted
three cheers for Major Spence.
Captain Powell, of Newnan, was
officer of the day.
Lieut. Kimbrough has been offered
adjutants place for Beck’s battallion
and will probably accept. Griffin is
very proud of its first lieutenant who
shows wonderful military tact on the
field and in the discipline of his men.
A Lively Scrap.
The police bad a lively tussel with
a drunken negro woman last night
about 9:30 o’clock.
Her name was Delia Reid, and Offi
cer Flynt found ber down near the W.
H. Newton Lumber Co , in an intoxi
cated condition and started with her
to the city prison. The woman ob
jected to being locked up and protest
ed in a most vigorous manner, biting
the officer on the arm.
He at ouce blew his whistle for as
sistance, which was rtsponded to by
Officer Gordon and the colored janitor,
Alec Jordan.
It took all three to land the infuria
ted woman in jail, and she was drag
ged from the Savings Bank to her
cell, which she reached very scantily
attired and covered with mud.
The janitor went into her cell to let
down the cot, when the wotuan sprang
upon him with the ferocity of a tig
ress and but for the assistance of the
officers would have fared pretty rough

CENSUS SHOWS INCREASE
r
Total Number of Children, White and
Black, of School Ago is 652,249.
Stale School Commissioner G. R.
Glenn bas received the census returns
from every county in the state with
the exception of Floyd county. Mr.
Walter J. Woodall, chief clerk of the
department, has almost completed the
consolidation of the reports and will
be ready to band in a consolidation
sheet as soon as the returns from
Floyd county arrive.
The census is the one provided to be
taken once every five years and shows
tbs number of children of a school age
in the state. The last census was taken
in 1893 aud the number of children at
that time was 604,971.
The increase this year, estimating
the increase in Floyd county to be an
average one, is 7 per cent over the
census of 1893. The exact number
shown by the consolidation, estimating
Floyd, is 652,249. The figures may be
greater or less than this should the in
crease in Floyd county be greater or
less than has been estimated.
The increase of tbe census of 1898
over tbe census of 1893 is about equal
to tbe increase of the census of 1893
over that of 1888. Tbe census of 1893
was about 44,000 greater than that of
1888, which was an increase of about
7 per cent.
There was an increase in all the
counties with tbe-exoeption of 22. In
these there was a slight decrease. The
consolidation will also probably show
that tbe increase in the counties was
greater in proportion than the increase
in tbe cities.
The largest per cent ol increase in
any county was 75 per cent in Irwin
county. This includes tbe city of
Fitzgerald, which has sprung up since
tbe last census. The exact increase
was 1,738.
The total number of white children
of a school age, according to the pres
ent census,* is 336,689, The total
number of colored children is 316,560-
The increase of the whites over the
census of 1893 is 21,949. Tbe increase
of colored over tbe census of 1893 is
26,626. This shows that the colored
have increased with greater rapidity.-

MAGNIFICENCE GOING TO WAR.
Equipment Presented by Hia Friends
to Lieut, Col. Ward, of Buffalo.
Buffalo, Aug. 9.—When Lieut. Col.
Francis G. Ward, of the 202 d New
York gets to the front Gen. Miles’ his
torical bathtub will have to divide
fame with this soldier’s equipment. At
a banquet tendered to Col. Ward by
Mayor Diehl and a hundred citizens
on tbe eve of the departure of tbe reg
iment, there was presented to Col.
Ward an outfit which probably is the
most gorgeous show in tbe army.
Col. Ward is superintendent of tbe
bureau of water. He is a son of the
late Major H. G. Ward, once a well
known Wall street operator, who lived
in Paris through tbe siege, sold his
wrecked house for $60,000 and return*
ing America, lost all. Col. Ward made
a fortune in Panama Canal contracts,
sunk $200,000 in a BuffaloAoap factory
and went into politics. Gov. Black
offered him a commission as lieuten
ant colonel and Col. Ward’s friends de
clared that they would usher him into
tbe army with more pomp than Buf
falo had ever seen before.
The banquet was a notable affair,
and as it proceeded Col. Ward’s friends
rose and showered their gifts on him.
Tbe borse that be will ride is a Keo*
lucky thoroughbred that cost SSOO.
Fire Commissioner Grattan traveled
all through Western Pennsylvania to
to find tbe animal, which was used for
exhibition purposes at borse fairs. The
borse will lie down, roll over, bow, and
keep step to music at tbe word. The
uniform consists of two drees coats,
two dress blouses, two service blouses,
three duck coats, two pairs of while
serge trousers, two pairs of dress
trousers, two pairs of riding breeobqs,
three pairs of gauntlets, one officer’s
mackintosh, two pairs of riding boots
and one officer’s trunk. The sabre is
the crowning glory of tbe outfit. It
is heavHy mounted with gold, tbe
handle is of pearl and the scabbard is
a dazzling piece of ornamental work.
Sabre belts and sabre knots, silver
mounted saddles, silver spurs, silver
mounted field glasses and revolvers,
and four helmets, caps and bats are in
the equipment.
Col. Ward sod Major Myer took
with them two colored attendants and
a' cook aud serving mao from a Sara*
toga ho.el. Their bed rolls are of silk
and their baggage alone filled an mr
car. If Col. Ward is not
Brummel of the volunteer army then
Major Myer intends to be.

Washington,Aug 8.-—The epidemic
of typhoid fever which prevails in so
many of the army camps is giving the
war department a great deal of con
cern and steps ere being taken to •
check tbe fever a.. • I prevent further
spread of tbe disease
Surgeon General Sternberg today
issued a circular calling attention to a
former circular issued by the medical
department April 25th. Tbe former
circular was devoted to recommenda
tions for the health ol tbe troops and
minutely pointed out what to avoid
and bow camps should be conducted
from a sanitary point of view, together
with suggestions as ti food and cloth
ing of the soldiers. It is the opinion
of the surgeon general that these con
ditions have not been carried out, and
In his circular today be says:
"The extensive prevalence of ly*
phoid fever in camps of instruction
indicates that tbe sanitary recommen
dations made in this particular have
not been carried out. If medical of
ficers have failed to make tbe proper
recommendations as indicated tbe
sponsibilily is with them. If these
recommendations have been made
and not acted upon by those having
authority in the various camps, tbe
responsibility is hot with tbe medical
department; but these recommenda
tions should be repealed and com- ,
mandlng officers be urged to move
their camps st frequent intervals and
to maintain a strict sanitary police.”
General Sternberg hopes to have
mors favorable reports and to bear
soon that the epidemic of typhoid fe
ver bas been checked.
General Shafter, in a report to tbe
war department, emphatically denies
that he is responsible for the inade
quate provision made for tbe sick and
wounded brought from Santiago to
tbe United States on tbe Seneca and
Concho. General Shafter speaks in
high terms of Dr. La Garde acd says
that he worked under "the most dis*
advantageous circumstances.” From
the day tbe forces left Tampa until
tbe present time be says there "have
never been sufficidnt medical atten
dants or medicine for the daily wants
of tbe command. Three times since
reaching Cuba has the command,” he
says, "been almost entirely without
medicine.”
This statement, he says, is made to
him by the medical directors and on
one occasion they suggested taking
medicines away from tbe Spanish
hospital.
Bobbed, the Grave.
A startling incident, ol which Mr.
Oliver, of Philadelphia, was tbe sub
ject, is narrated by him as follows: "I
was in a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians bad given me up. Fortu*
nately a friend advised trying ‘Electric
Bitters’; and to my great joy and sur
prise, tbe first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they saved my life, and
robbed tbe grave of another victim.”
No one should fail to try them. Only
50 cts per bottle at Carlisle A Ward
