IT HAS BEEN SETTLED.
THI THIRD GEORGIA LEAVES
FOI CUBA BOOM.
%
The Men Are Delighted st the Pros
pect of Going to the "Queen
of the Antilles." .
. i'
-r
That the Third regiment ie soon to
leave Camp Norlben for Savannah,
where they wit! be transported to Ch
ba, ia now believed to be a certainty.
Although do orders have been re-
Mtvodineaaap for their departure,
Col. Berner haa received the following
order which he immediately posted: <
"The headquarters of troops of the
Eighth United States cavalry and tEe
Third Georgia volunteers will be at
Nuevitas. -
“Six troops of the High th United
States cavalry and the Fifteenth in*
fantry at Puerto Principe.
"The regiments will be prepared for
embatkalion at once and the subsist
ence department wilt arrange for the
necessary rations. The command will
be equipped and rationed for. rivly
days. W
“The quartermaster'sdepartmontwill
furnish the necessary wagon trans
portation for use at tbeir new stations.
“The surgeon general will make pro*
vision for hospital and medical sup*
plies.
“Brigadier General L. H. Carpenter,
United States volunteers, is assigned
to command these taoops with head*
quarters at Nuevius. The cavalry
brigade, composed of the Seventh and
Eighth United States cavalry, is die*
continued. The Seventh is assigned
to the First army oorpi and thj Eighth
to the Second army corps
“ThePifleentbUnited States infantry
is detaohed from the Fourth army
corps, an infantry brigade created,
composed of the Third Georgia volun
teers and the Fifteenth United States
infantry, and designated as’lhe Second
brigade, Third division, Second corps.” <
ft j| believed the orders for moving
to Savannah will come from Brigadier
not di*
rent from Washington.
Lieut. Col. R. E.L. Spence, who was
in charge of the camp yesterday, stat* ;
ed that the regiment was ready to be
off on a few hours notice, and all were
acxioua to go. He said they had been
notified that the regiment bad been
issued sixty days rations, and the indi
cations were they would leave for Sa*
vaunab by the 14th inst., where they
would tafce transports for Cuba.
Jio complaint is beard at this decis*
ion of the authorities. In fact the men
seem to want to go to Cuba, as they
are to remain in the service for two
years.
Col. Berner was in conference with
, the commissioned officers, and asked
all who would not go with him and
stand by him to resign at once, and ,
. ppi one signified his intention to do i
other than stand at the bead of bis J
company and do whatever duty might
be imposed upon him.
Many of the men fear they will leave '
the state before the opportunity is giv
en them to have a match game of foot
ball.
An athletic club has been formed in
camp with the following officers at the
head of it:
J?res.—Louis Warren.
Vice Pres.—Major M, W. Beck.
Tress a—Lieut, p. A. Btfner.
Sec.—Sergt. Rawles.
The club has several hundred mem*
bars, who take great interest in its
welfare, and already $l5O have been
subscribed for its benefit.
A foot ball team was organised and
Mujforfo" ordered, wbfoh sre ejpeptecj
to arrive ip a few days.
Jhe secretary is in porreapondenep
with Nally, Lancey and Tissner trying
to engage their services »• trfipe|r» for
the team. He is also making dates
with the Athens, Macon and Barnes*
villa teams, and unless the college
teams are remarkably good players,
tbs soldier boys will lick them.
Today feejr, Nov. 12, has been de
«4ded upon as a field day wfiep there
frill be foot racing, jumping contests,
pntti&c shot and hammer, vaulting,
and other amusements.
The winners in these contests will
receive handsome prizes contributed
by the citizens of Griffin.
This will bi a greet day at Camp
Norihen if the soldiers are still quar
tered there and it is sincerely hoped
they will be.
‘ Lat^k— At a late hour last night a
telegram whs received by Col. Berner
from Washington telling him to report
immediately by wire, and hold his reg
iment in readii>e»s |u leave any day.
The meesago stated that sixty days
rations had been tmipped and that
transports were wailing them in Ba*
vannah ready to. fond them on Cuban
soil by the 220 d hM.

joyed by the older people, and the
many additions which have been made

tractive than ever. There is a big
troupe of monkey actors this season in
addition to the dogs and ponies, all of

ponies and caress the dogs, all of which
are very fond of ladies and children.

15 cents; adults 25 cents.

INCREASE THE STANDING ARMY
Graad Opportunities For Ambitious
Youne Men
There is hardly any doubt of the
fact that our standing army will be
increased to at least one hundred
tuousand men and probably more;
and thia is a fact which should engage
the attention of the volunteer soldiers
who find the profession of arms attrac
tive to them.
In the first place, they bate an im*
mediate opportunity to adopt an bon*
orable profession for life, and provided
they are proficient, they will find the
reward a very tempting one. They
should, however, consider well the
advantages and disadvantages attend*
ant upon such a calling. In case they
are attracted by such a life, they
should, by all means, go to work to
thoroughly equip themselves. There
will be many officers* places to go to
the volunteers, and it may be believed
that there are some snug army berths
awaiting the best men in the volunteer
service.
The following figures show bow £en*
erOusly our government remunerates
military service:
A lieutenant general receives 111,*
000 per annum; a major general s7,*
500 and a brigadier general $5,000; a
colonel $3,500; a lieutenant colonel
$3,000; a major $2,500; a captain
mounted $2,000; a captain not mount
ed $1,800; regimental adjutant $1,800;
regimental quartermaster $1,800; first
lieutenant $1,600; first lieutenant not
mounted $1,500; second lieutenant
mounted $1,500; second lieutenant not
mounted $1,400. All except the gen*
erale receive 10, 20, 30 and 40 per cent
increase after 5,10,15 and 20 years of
service respectively. Officers serving
as aides de camp and acting commis*
series, receive extra pay, and mileage
for transportation, largely io excess of
cost, is provided for officers traveling
under orders. There are other inci
dental iqqrraes of revenue that might
be mentioned . , <
The present regular military estab*
lishment of the country consists of
2,239 staff and line officers and about
25,000 enlisted men. This force is
acknowledged to be inadequate to the
demands that acquistion of territory
and other conditions have imposed
upon it, and it is certain that Congress
will provide for an increase to the
strength of at least 100,000 men.
This is as it should be, and we urge
upon our young men in advance to fit
themselves to take advantage of the
opportunity that is sooq to be offered
them. They cannot rely on political
influences as they did some months
ago; for the reason that the standing
army will be recruited on a very dif
ferent basis. Efficiency will be the
standard which will measure the rank
of new officers in the new standing
army, and those who hope to take a
high stand there will begin to look to
their laurels now.—Macon News.

For Stealing Cotton-
Bob Prothro, a colored farmer living
in Butts county, sent a bale of cotton
to Griffin Thursday by bis brother,
Will Prothro, and instructed him to
sell the cotton and turn the money
over to R. F. Strickland A Co., to
whom be was indebted for supplies.
Bill sold the cotton but pnt the
money in his pocket instead of paying
the account. Bob was in the city yes
terday morning and upon learning of
the rascality of his brother, reported
the matter to the police.
Officer Phelps arrested Bill as he
joarded the Central train for Jones
>oro, and found on his person two new
watches and a pistol, which is thought
re had purchased with the money ob
tained by selling the cotton.
Bill is now in jail and will not bare
die any more four cent cotton very
soon.
