The next two or three days will wit
ness the departure of the members of
the First Regiment of Infantry for
the encampment at Augusta. pol.
Gordon left last night; the advance
detail will go to-night, and the main
body of the regiment, on Monday
morning.
The regiment is composed of the six
local companies, and one company
each from Waynesboro, Swainsboro,
Brunswick and Statesboro. It will be
accompanied by the First Regiment
Band. The entire strength of the regi
ment in camp, it is expected, will be
between 450 and 500 men.
The advance detail from Savannah
leaves to-night. This will be composed
of Commissary F. W. Garden; Quar
termaster Joseph R. Metzger; Quar
termaster Sergeant E. K. Borani;
Commissary Sergeant George B. Elton;
six company quartermaster sergeants,
twelve assistants and two cooks.
They will arrive in Augusta at 6
o’clock to-morrow' morning, and will
commence at once the work of prep
aration for the regiment. The bag
gage, tents, food stuffs, vtc., have al
ready been transforted to Augusta, and
the railroad authorities Wave been in
structed to turn them over to the de
tail upon its arrival, so that it will
have plenty to do. Much of the bag
gage, notably the tents, is the same
as that used at the Griffin encamp
ment.
Work of Advance Detail.
The members of the detail will be
obliged to work on Sunday in order to
have things in a state of preparation
when the regiment arrives. The ten
companies will arrive in Augusta at
the same time at 2 o'clock on Monday
morning, the Savannah Companies hav
ing left Savannah at 8 o’clock on the
same morning.
The regiment will make the trip o".
a special train of ten coaches, one
car being reserved for each company.
The band will be aboard to furnish
music on the trip, and the coaches
will contain the names of the several
commands. It is expected that when
the regiment reaches its destination
and begins its march up Broad street,
en route to camp, it appearance will
be the best of any single volunteer
regiment which ever paraded the
streets of that city.
Tlic Regiment’* Apiienrnnce.
The officers have paid particular at
tention to detail. The regiment Is
thoroughly equipped, and the men
have, under orders, put all of their
trappings and accoutrements in spick
and-span order. Guard mounts, bat
talion drills and schools for instruc
tion have hud the effect of preparing
the men and the companies as a whole
as they have never been before, and
.♦he local companies, especially, expect
to make a showing that will eclipse
the efforts of all the rest, and bring
forth special commendation from the
reviewing and inspecting officers and
from the citizens of Augusta.
It was designed to have the sched
ule such that none of the companies
would be oblige to travel on Sunday.
The only exception to the case is the
Brunswick Rifles, who will leave for
their destination on Sunday afternoon.
They will arrive in Savannah at an
early hour on Monday morning, and
will join the six local companies. The
Statesboro company will join the regi
mental train at Dover; the Swains
boro company will join it at Millen,
and the Waynesboro command will get
aboard in their own town.

and planing mill machinery, Including
complete facilities for sizing, dressing
and framing building timbers. Out of
the wViste from the lumber mills laths
and shingles fire cut, and the refuse
from the plant is converted into fuel
for manufacturing industries.
The company controls 55,000 acres of
timber lands, enough to run the mills
at full capacity for eight years. It
employs 250 hands, free labor, besides
135 convicts, leased from the state.
Among the most recent additions to
this band is Ed Hazel, the negro des
perado who was recently sentenced in
the court of this county.
From this plant the visitors went to
that of {he Pierpont Manufacturing
Company which proved one of the most
interesting of the places visited. This
plant employs 200 men the year round
in the manufacture of boxes and
crates for the shipment of fruits and
vegetables; cases for holding soap,
baking powder, candy etc., and tubs,
of which practlcblly the total output
though amounting to 1,500 a day, is
used by the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany for shipping lard compound and
other cotton seed products.
The box factory turns out 10,000 cases
and crates a day. and these are sold
not only all over the Southern states,
but even outside of this country; the
factory is now making fifty carloads to
be shipped to Jamaica.
Vt the the in leu I Work*.
The next plant visited was that of
the Virginia-Carolina Company. Here
only the furnaces of burning pyrites
was inspected, that is. of the plant it
self, though much interest was dis
played in anew system of water pro
tection for Ihe exterior of the building,
which was operated for the benefit of
the visitors by Mr. E. W. Mansfield,
superintendent of the plant.
This plant occupies a site that covers
ten acres, employs 700 men and has a
capacity, in round figures, of 80,000
tons a year. After inspecting the fur
naces and the water protection, the
visitors adjourned to the oak grove
in the yard of the old waterworks,
where refreshments hfid been arranged
under the trees. These consisted of
sandwiches and beer and had been pre
pared by Mr. L. W. Nelson of the
Thunderbolt Casino. Some fifteen or
twenty minutes \vore spent here and
then the party embarked and started
back to the city, which was reached
shortly after 6 o'clock.

possible to inspect other of the facto
ries in this locality there are a num
ber of them well worth visiting, chief
among which is that of the Southern
Cotton Oil Company. This is one of ihe
largest plants of its kind in the South,
comprising mills, refineries, hull and
seed warehouses, soap factories, lard
compound factory, etc. This refinery
uses not only the output of its own
mills, but that of mills at Atlanta,
Columbia, Montgomery and numerous
smaller mills situated throughout the
country. The plant employs 500 hands.
The Yale Royal riant.
Still another industry of large pro
portions is that of the Vale Royal
Manufacturing Company, which
handles cypress and hard woods. It
is operated ten hours a day and has a
capacity of 40,000 feet of rough sawed
lumber, 40,000 cypress shingles and 10,-
000 laths. This plant, as is the case
with practically all in this vicinity, is
fitted with the most up-to-date and ap
proved machinery. It gives employ
ment to 110 hands.
The Mutual Fertilizer Company also
has a plant in this locality, near
Schwarz avenue, on the west end of
the Ocean Steamship Company’s prop
erty. It employs between 100 and 125
hands during the busy season and hits
an annual output of ‘about 20,000 tons.
The plant is operated by a 67 horse
power electric motor.
One of the largest, as it is one of the
oldest, plants in the vicinity is that of
A. S. Bacon & Sons, which covers five
acres. The plant consists of a plan
ing mill that has an output of 100,000
feet of dressed stock a day; a sash
factory with a capacity of 500 pairs of
sashes, a door factory with a capacity
of 400 doors, and a blind factory with
a capacity of 000 blinds a day. These
various departments give employment
to between 100 and 125 men.
The Savannah Cooperage Cos., Inc.,
also has on Schwarz avenue a plant
that turns out daily between 100 and
200 six and eight-hoop tight barrels, and
thirty-two-gallon syrup barrels. The
kind first mentioned are used for pack
ing rosin oil. spirits, tar and lard. The
plant gives employment to between fif
teen and twenty men.
The Wilcox-Ives Oil Company like
wise is situated in this vicinity. One
plant is for the distilling of the by
products of light-wood and has been in
operation about three months. It has
a capacity of ninety barrels-of tar pro
ducts, consisting of tar, oil and spirits,
a week. The rosin oil plant has a ca
pacity of fifty barrels of different
grades rosin oil per day. During the
i last year the total output amounted to
20.1*00 barrels of oil.
Though not exactly on the line of the
new road other manufacturing indus
tries that will hi? benefited by the line
are the sawmill of Woledge & Phil
pot. Shatter's Works, and Armour A
Co.'s Fertilizer Works, the Woodall
Chemical Company and the plant of J.
®. Taylor. This plant, which has been
established but a few weeks, Is for the
manufacture of rosin oil out of low
grade rosin, rosin dross and rosin dust
which is secured from the railroad
yards. It is understood that its product
is shipped chiefly to Cincinnati.
Though the regular schedule will be
put in operation on the new line to
day a number of improvements are yet
to be made and right away. The pres
ent grade crossing of the Augusta road
and the electric railway over the tracks
of the Central of Georgia is to be done
..way with and anew steel viaduct
erected, providing for the electric line
and the highway to pass under the
railway tracks at the point where the
old Waterworks road now goes under
the tracks.
Anew sixty-foot road also is to be
established on the north side of the
Central's tracks and to be paved with
gravel from the old Waterworks road
to the Augusta road. The Waterworks
road is to be widened to sixty feet
from the Louisville road to Ray street
extension, and will be paVed with
gravel, while Factory road is to be
widened to sixty feet from the end of
Schwarz avenue to the end of the new
street railway extension, and paved
with gravel its entire length.

lIIS WIFE HIS SURGEON.
Mrs. Logan Performs an Operation
for Appendicitis on Her Husband,
n Missionary In Chinn.
From the New York Times.
Bethany, 111., June 29.—Advices from
China say that Dr. W. H. Logan, for
merly of this city, has entirely recov
ered from an attack of appendicitis. The
Logans have been missionaries In Chi
na for a number of years. Their station
is 800 miles from the nearest physician.
Lately Dr. Logan was attacked by
appendicitis. Realizing that recovery
lay In an operation involving the re
moval of the organ, he called his wife
and Imparted a diagnosis of his own
case.
Mrs. Logan, unassisted, but guided
by the instructions given before her
husband's relapse into unconsciousness
under anaesthetics, performed the ope
ration. Under skillful ministration of
the wife-nurße, such favorable progress
was made toward recovery In short
time that Mrs. Logan determined to re
move him where he could have the ben
efit of skilled surgeons. She. her hus
band, and a young baby undertook the
journey of 800 miles by rail and wagon,
where attention could be secured.
Dr. Tjogan had to submit only to a
superficial treatment, and was confined
in the hospital but a few days.
The same advices that tell of the
heroic work of Mrs. Logan state that
they have resumed missionary work
among the Celestials.

my back aches I know what will cure
it, Doan's Kidney Pills. They are the
best remedy I ever came across. For
months I was plagued with backache,
not sharp pains, but a dull aching all
the time, that made me feel miserable.
I got medicine on, different occasions
from doctors, and it seemed to relieve
me for the time, but it was soon as bad
as ever. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney
Pills, I took a course of the treatment.
They cured me, and the cure has been

Avondale Range.
The annual prize shoot of the Geor
gia Hussars will be held this mom—
at Avondale range. Propitious weatly
er is promised, and it is probable that
the contest will be largely attended
and greatly enjoyed. There are many
good shots among the members of the
troop and good scores are expected to
be made.
The day being a holiday, the attend
ance will be unusually large. Quite
a number of handsome gold medals and
prizes have been offered as an extra
inducement to competition. The wear
ing of the medals is a coveted honor
in a command where there are so
many good shots, and It is probable
that the competition in the medal
classes will be keen.
The troop will be divided for the
purpose of competition into two classes
which will compete on the 200, 300,
500 and 600 yard ranges. The contest
for the CunningWam medal, which is
shot only at the 600 yard range, is open

LIBERTY GUARDS
WON AT TILTING
Hinesville, Ga., July 3.—The glorious
Fourth was fittingly and elaborately
observed here to-day by the Liberty
Independent Troop and the Liberty
Guards at the parade grounds of the
former.
The forenoon was spent in mounted
drill and the members of both troops
were given all the exercise they want
ed in that line by Capts. Cassels and
Hughs, and put the boys in splendid
trim for the spread which the ladies
had well Hnd bountifully prepared for
the occasion.
The afternoon was spent in a com
petitive tilt for a medal, which is
awarded annually to a team chosen
from each company, making the high
est score. This medal creates a friend
ly rivalry between the two troops, and
each puts forth every effort to win
this medal at every annual joint con
test.
The Guards were successful to-day,
not now a member, of the troop, how
ever and it will he nip and tuck in
the contest which will determine who
shall have the medals for the ensuing
year.
The prizes in the general shoot, at
the short range, will be the troop
medal for the winner in the first
class; a silver handled pocket knife
for the second man in the first class;
a silver pocket corkscrew for the win
ner in the second class, and a highly
ornamented silver match box for the
second man in the second class.
The shoot bill begin promptly at
9:15 o’clock. The troopers will leave
the armory at 8:45 o'clock, arriving at
the range shortly after 9 o’clock. The
contest will then begin at once so
that the whole shoot, refreshments
and all may be finished by noon, a
number of the men having engage
ments for the afternoon.
The membership of the troop has
been increased considerably within
the past year. The troop will, there
fore, be about equally divided, the old
men shooting in the first class and the
new men in the second class. Refresh
ments will be served at the conclusion
of the match by Commissary Sergeant
Remler.
I making a total score of 475%, and the
Troop 453%.. Capt. Cobourn Martin of
the Guards made the highest individ
ual score of 55%, and Private M. B.
Horn, also of the Guards, came second
with a score of 55. Sergt. A. F. Winn
of the Troop, was third with a score of
54%.
Both troops acquitted themselves
splendidly in the contest, and several
other members of both teams made
good records.
