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.

Hunter Making Arrangements. Wants Graphophone Records For Use in the 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.
