the weather
Probably fair tonight
and Thursday.
VOLUME XIX, Wo. 204.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE CARLOADS OF
TROOPS AND BAGGAGE HAVE ARRIVED IN CITY
Eleven Special Trains Came
Into the City This Morning
Over the Georgia and Central
of Georgia Railroads
OVER TWENTY CARLOADS
OF BAGGAGE BROUGHT
Camp Wheeler Was a Veritable
Bee Hive of Industry Through
out the Morning. About 2,500
Men in Camp By This After
noon.
One hundred and twenty-one cars,
loaded with troops of the National Guard
and their camp equipment, came into
Augiista over the Georgia and Central
of Georgia lines during the course of the
morning. The Street Railway Co. was
prepared to tike care of the rush and
within a short time after arrival all the
troops were on the way to Camp Wheel
er. Figures as to the exact number of
Guardsmen on the round are not avatl
able just at present hut to place the
number at 2.5f>0 would be a conservative
estimate General Walter A. Harris,
of Macon, commander of the National
Guard of Georgia, arrived during the
morning, miking the trip from Macon in
an automobile.
Baggage Transportation.
The problem of transferring the bag
gige. something over twenty carloads in
nl l . was a most difficult one to deal with
However this matter was attended to
\vitv> n ii possible dispatch. Shortly .after
midnight. Secretary Brinson, of he M. &
M. Association. began assem* ling the
motor trucks and wagons which had
been volunteered by local merchants and
ns fast as any of the baggage arrived
every effort was made to get it trans
ported to the camp site. At the hour of
going to press, practically all the bag
gage was on Gyp «lte.
Pitching Tents.
The camp was a veritable bee hive of
industry throughout the morning. The
nmn orders give only a half-dav for
pitching tents, staking off picket lines,
and getting the camp into shape for the
actual field work, and it is readily seen
that this allows no time for “loafing on
the job.” Immediately after getting its
1 aggage on the ground, every company
went to work with a vim to attend to
nl! matters of Its camp organization. Th*.

work, their camp was made compete
before noon yesterday. Shortly after
noon Gaptain George Haines, Company
U. with a detail of 2$ men from the
enmpanv. began their work of camp or
ganization. The local boys went to the
work bke veterans and in a remarkably
short time their tents were up and ready
for occupancy. Company B, Captain
Thad Jnwett commanding, began their
work a little later and were also ready
before night. Captain Woodson’s com
pany was on the field before dusk and
begn narrangements for making their
camn. Tlie local cavalry company 1s

Company H, 29th Infantry,
Had Thrills Chasing Moros
Was Organized at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, in 1901—Re
mainder of the Regiment at Fort Porter, New York.
Company H, of the Twenty-Ninth
Infantry, was organized at Fort Sher
idan, 111., in 1901. Shortly afterward
it was ordered to the Philippine-, sev
eral months being spent in the is
lands. Wnile the regiment of which
it is a member was not ordered to
Mexico, their experience in chasing
Moros was doubtless more thrillng
than any Mexican experience could
have been.
The remainder of the regiment is
stationed at Fort Porter in New York,
After the completion of their service
here. Company H will go directly to
Manassas and from there will march
two hundred miles to New York.
No Contusion at the Depot When
Special Trains Arrived Today
Big Bonfires Augmented Electric Lights and Men Stepped
From Trains and Marched to Waiting Street Cars.
When the special trains began to ar
rive at the union depot about 4 o’clock
this morning, laden with Georgia Na
tional Guardsmen and their baggage, big
confires were built on the site to be oc
cupied by the new postoffice opposite
the depot. As the soldiers came out
of the depot they boarded waiting street
cars to the number of fifteen and were
transported as rapidly as possible to
Camp Wheeler. The bonfires served to
prevent any baggage being left as it
made a brilliant light in the vicinity of
Y. M. C. A. Will Provide Soldiers
With Reading Room, Rest Room, Etc.
Secretary Walter M. Hunter Making Arrangements. Wants
Graphophone Records For Use in the Tent.
Owing to he confusion attendant
upon the work of tent erection and
the arrangement of the various de
tails of camp organiztaion, Secretary
Hunter has decided to postpone till
tomorrow the organization of the
camp Y- M. C. A. Early tomorrow
this work will be taken up and push
ed to a rapid completion.
Two tents will be used by the Y.
M. C. A., a large hospital tent and a
smaller tent. These tents will be
pitched directly across the road in
front of the regulars’ camp, imme
diately beyond the tents of the local
infantry. Those in charge will mess
with the regulars, their location be
ing more convenient to the Y. M. C.
A. tent than the officers’ club.
The idea Mr. Hunter has in mind
is to provide the soldiers with a read
ing room and rest room, a Bort of
general loafng place where the best
of good fellowship abounds. Captain
Waldron and all of the officers who
have had experience with these
camps are enthusiastic over the idea,
