the military fund from the legislature,
bringing the amount to say $30,000, how
ever. both armory rent could be paid for
the * onifiarile* and encampments could be
held.
"If regimental encampments were held

ag#--* over the former plan <*f having a

■Rom** competition among the cities and
towns of the several sections for the camp
sites would unquestionably arise, and
ben* fits from the camp* could be scat
tered over the state Instead of being con
fined to Griffin. 1 believe tlmt the cities
would be willing to offer monetary in
ducements for tho advantage of having
camp established near them, ami sueii
subscriptions might go to sw.ll the *n
eimpment fund. If such tHibxorlptbm*
were received. 1 believe there would lie lit
tle question about military encampments
next year.
"Another objection to a general encamp
ment Is that there would probably be two
regiments there at the same time, which
means that on** of the colonels would have
to pone as a general, taking command of
the post. That would be right and proper
if It were not for the fact that It Is the
Time that the colonel needs to be a the
head of his regiment He does not often
get the chance to have his command In
camp, and It Is not the part of Wvisdom for
h’m to become a general at the very time
he should lea colon* I.
"The camp site at Griffin has been used
too long, anyway. It is not well to en
camp troops year after year upon the
same ground. Hygienic reasons make It
undesirable. Army surgeon* have In
formal me that It H* not well to use a
piece of ground within five year* after
Its occupancy for any length of Unis by
a considerable body of men. Regimental
encampments, n proposed, would avoid
thla objection for they would not lie to

Cot. Obcnr's suggestion about subscrip
tions from cities deolrlng encampments
wa horn of the profit reaped during the
Siwnlsh war by tho-e pleacee near which
ramps wa re established. As there wotLd
be but a regiment In camp and for but
a week, the advontage* to a place would
not. of course, lie very great, though they
would probably lie considered wußteletit
to Induce merchants to suliscrlbe small
amounts to a fund Savannah, having
nine of the twelve companies of the First
Infantry already here, would not be so
greatly IntereiUed as other places with
