The Gallant Son of a Famous
Confederate
ORGANIZING A BATTERY.
Wants sons of Veterans to Join
His Command.
Atlanta, July 7.—A battery of
light artillery will be organized
in'llie south with headquarters
in Atlanta for the United States I
volunteer army. The member
ship of the battery will consist
largely of the Sons of Veterans
and a prominent member of that
organization will command the
battery.
Mr. Joseph ,Pelham, whose
distinguished ancestor was one
of the brilliant and gallant com
manders of the Artillery of the
confederacy, has been authorized
bv the war department to organ
ize the battery as soon as the
men are obtained the battery
will be supplied with guns j>nd
equipment and drilled until they
are prepared t>> go to the front.
It is said that the branch of
the army greatly needed in Cuba
is the artillery and the war de
partment is anxious to secure
more recruits for this service.
The new battery will be mobil
ized about August and for two
months will be constantly drilled
until the hot weather is practi
cally over in Cuba and then will
be sent there.
Cap*. Pelham lias received a
lar<n nun'ier of inquiries and is
rece ving applications every day
from m m outside of the state
aud also in Georgia who want
to become privates. He thinks
he will have no trouble in re
cruiting the battery and believes
the best young manhood in the
south will become members of
it.
Mr. Pelham, being the son of!
a veteran, wants .o get as many 1
of the recruits fi om the camp«i
of Sons of Veterans in the sou b I
a» possible. A large, number of j
circulars were sent out yesterday j
regarding the organization of!
the battery and little time will
be lost in filling the ranks.
A large number of the recruits
will be obtained during the re
union and it is probable that the
mobilization of the battery will
l»e begun at that time. The n en
"ill be placed in camp imme
diately and work begun.
A detail of officers and me.i
from the regular United Stages
army will be placed with the
battery to instruct the men in
the work ot handling the guns
and horses and mules will be
supplied them as soon ’as a point
of mobilization is needed by the
ward partment.
( apt. Pelham has sent the fol
lowing letter to the camps of
Sons of Veterans.
