urged that Griffin's Invitation should
be accepted. He offered a resolution
accepting the invitation and spoke of

GRIFFIN, Ga., June 25.—The Second
Georgia regiment under the command
of Col. E. D. Huguenln, is making a
fine showing.
Col. Huguenln Is very reticent about
his command, but his companies throw
bouquets at him.
Today there was only routine work
nnd even the old soldiers felt tired.
Aside from the fact that the camp is
in the very best of order there Is a
kick that is coming from tho Fourth
Georgia regiment. Just what it is will
not be known until the encampment !h
over, but It Is said that tho sanitary
conditions arc the questions that will
bring up the trouble.
Col. Wooten has maintained good or
der In camp.
Lieut. T. M. Griffin of tho Fitzgerald
company, who was on duty today, suya
that he never saw people piore orderly.
Capt. J. H. Atwater of company 11,
who wu8 officer of the day yesterday,
stated thnt he had nevxrr Been a camp
more quiet.
Among the test known people In
chmp 4s Color Sergeant R. B. Coswell
of the Fourth. He Is pleasailt and
knows his duties.
In company M there Is a mnn that
commands the respect of every one.
Itir ho Is a soldier from the tip of a
salute to whore he brushes his boo s.
He has been a major In the regular
army nnd each day he Is consulted oh
to details by tho officers.
It has been said by many that Capt.
Wheeler of the Hussars and Captain
Hnzlehurst of the Volunteers will run
lose second when it comes to good
looks. In Macon this can be guesseii
though Capt. Wheeler spent today
In Atlanta.
Regimental Bugler Reynolds is one ot
the best In the slate and catches at
every call. J. T. Colloid, the cornotlst
of the Fourth regiment band, Is one of
the finest, lie has had the advantage
of two European trips anti graduate 1
in Germany.
Private Ryan of oompatiy E, Second
Georgia regiment, has the reputation
of being one of the best fellows -and
’carries the mark of being the belt
drlllej man In the regiment,
f.'api. Warren Grice of the staff of
Col. E. D. Huguenln, who Is busy at-
tendlng to duties nt the meeting of tho
general assembly, finds time to coma

with perfect willingness.
Continuing, Dr. White said: "Col.
Huguenln, his staff nnd all the officers
nre taking advantage of the opportu
nity to Instruct the regiment In the
various military requirements, and are
succeeding admirably. There is not the
slightest, trace of friction anywhere and
I feci sure It wlil he one of the best en
campments ever held In Georgia. The
splendid military hearing of Col. Hu
guenln nnd the officers is attracting
attention. There have been numbers
of visitors In the camp, nnd one could
hear nil maimer of compliments about
the Second Georgia nnd Its officers.
''I nm very proud of the regiment. It
Is gratifying to me to be nble tb make
a good report of the boys. Their con
duct has been nil nny one could ex
pect, and the citizens of Griffin speak
In the highest terms of them. The
health of the regiment Is perfect, and
both officers and men are bright and
happy."
Dr. White will preach In the Baptist
church at Griffin on .Sunday. It Is prob
able a number of the soldiers will at
tend the services. Religious services
will also be held ut Camp Northen on
