FIRST GEORGIA
Passed in Review Before
Secretary Alger.
COL. 'LAWTON TALKS.
His Opinion Courted by The
Michigan Deserter.
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 22.
The review of the troops at Camp
Poland yesterday was a success
in the fullest sense.
Secretary of War Alger, ac
companied by Surgeon General
Sternberg and Quartermaster
General Ludington. Major Hop
kins and Captain Young arrived
here thft morning at 8 o’clock.
The review took place an hour
later and was witnessed by 20,-
000 from the city.
The First brigade, to which
the First Georgia regiment is
assigned, was the last to pass in
review. Col. Lawton led the
brigade.
As the regiment was about to
approach the reviewing stand
the band played “Dixie.” This
brought forth the first demon
stration from the assembled
throng and Secretary Alger him
self cheered. Col. Lawton and
bis men mt.de a most magnifi
cent appearance.
Every company passed there
viewing stand dressed perfectly
and in perfect step. It was com
mented upon that the First
Georgia exceeded any other reg
iment in general appearance on
review. The regiment had 900
men in its ranks, a number being
detailed to provost and other
guard duty.
At the conclusion of the re
view Secretary Alger gave a
brief talk to the officers of the
division at Gen. McKee’s head
quarters. He asked for expres
sions from the commanders rel
ative to the desirability of re
taining the regimental hospitals
Among those whose opinions
were courted was Col. Lawton,
of the First Georgia.
Col. Lawton replied that his
experience had been limited to
the four months in the volunteer
service, but he felt that he had
learned the necessity of having
a well regulated regimental hos
pital as well as a good division
hospital.
He said it was impossible to
care for the more serious pa
tients in a regimental hospital,
but it was likewise a burden to
have the transient cases all re
moved to the division hospital.
He referred the secretary to the
fact that he had but one surgeon
in his regiment, and said this
was a condition which should
not be tolerated.
He said it was a matter of
extreme impossibility for any
one man to look after the health
of 1,200 men. He said his other
surgeons had been taken from
him to go to the front with
other commands and none had
been appo’nted to succeed them.
After Col. Lawton’s pointed
talk the secretary explained that
if the command should be sent
to Cuba it would be supplied
with an adequate number of
surgeons, hospital stewards and
nurses to make a victorious bat
tle against Cuban diseare.
Secretary Alger paid the first
Georgia a tribute by stating that
it was one of the best and most
widely known regiments in the
volunteer service. He believed
the people of Georgia should
feel justly proud of Col. Lawton
and his excellent command.

The Rome Joys Went Throilgli
Tbeir Home Town
IN SPITE OF ORDERS
To Stop Off Here. Capt. Oscar
Brown “Was Sorry.’’
i
The Second Georgia regiment
passed through Rome this morn
ing at 9 o’clock en route from
Huntsville, Ala., to Atlanta.
This regiment was to have
left Huntsville at 6 yesterday
afternoon and to have arrived in
Atlanta not later than 9 this
morning—but off ceurse the mil
itary train was of schedule—it’s
a habit of railitaiy trains.
When Judge Maddox upset
“Brigadier Bill” Atkinsons’ pet
political scheme in reversing
the orde r which retained the
Second Georgia in service, Co.,
H. of the regiment was ordered
to debark from the military
train at Rome and go into camps
here for ten days. The troops
were then to have been furlough
ed for 30 days and then, if not
needed, they were to be muster
ed out.
The ladies of Rome made
elaborate preparations .for giv
ing the Rome volunteers a royal
welcome, when, for reasons
that “Brigadier Bill” might
explain, this order was changed
and the Rome boys were order
ed rushed through to Atlanta,
where, by their presence, they
would add to the imposing street
parade in the Gate City today.
This did not suit the Romans
a little bit, and Judge Maddox
made the wires hot between
Rome and Washington. This
morning, for his father who was
absent, Mr. Ed Maddox received
a telegram from the adjutant
general’s office of the war de
partment stating that the, Rome
company had been ordered to
debark at Rome as the Second
regiment passed through today.
Armed with this telegram,
Mr. Ed Maddox, Mr. W.J. Grif
fin and other prominent Romans
met the military train in East
Rome when it arrived at 9 o’clock
this morning, and, finding the
Rome troops going on through,
they presented the telegram to
Col. Oscar Brown.
Col. Brown said he “was very
sorry, indeed, but that he had
received no orders and that he
would have to take the Rome
company to Atlanta”—and
that’s what he dun.
Col. Brown says that the Sec
ond will be in camps for about
ten days in Atlanta, but that if
the war depa* lirent will permit,
he will return the Rome boys
tomorrow or in a day or two—
or in a few days—and he will
—after the Atlanta parade.
In the meantime the Romans
can hug their disappointment
and thank a fool war depart
ment and a slick governor
for the brilliant manoeuvre that
whisked the home-sick soldier
beys by their homes in order
that they, by their soldierly ap
pearance, may glorify—who?
THE MADDOX TELEGRAM.
Following is an exact copy of
the telegram sent to Judge
Maddox by the war department:
Washington, D. C., Sept. 21.
To Hon. John W. Maddox.
The following telegram has
this day been sent to Command
ing General at Huntsville, Ala.,
by direction acting secretary of
war : Co , H, Georgia fc Vojs, or
dered yesterday to proceed to
When we read of a railroad wreck in
which a hundred people are killed, we are
filled with pity and horror. There are other
danger*) in this life a thousand times greater
than that of the railroad wreck, only we do
not have them brought so forcibly to our
attention. Consumption does not kill a
hundred people at once in one train. It
does kill tens of thousands for every one
that is killed by accident.
If a sufferer will resort to the right rem
edy before it is too late, consumption can
be cured. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery cures o 8 per cent, of all cases if
taken in the earlier stages. It has main
tained this record for thirty years. Many
of those whom it has rescued front the
verge of the grave have permitted their
names, addresses, experiences and photo
graphs to be printed in Dr. Pierce's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser. This useful
book is free, and any sufferer who wishes
to investigate may procure it and write to
those who were once sufferers themselves.
For a paper covered copy send 21 one-cent
•tamps, to rover cost of mailing only, to
the World’s Dispensary Medical Associa
tion, Buffalo, N. Y. The "Golden Medical
Discovery” is the great blood-maker and
flesh-builder. It restores the lost aippetite,
corrects the impaired digestion, makes the
liver active and the blood pure. Any med
icine dealer who offers you something
else said to be "just as good ” is thinking
about hia pocketbook and not about your
health.
“I have taken Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and ' Favorite Prescription ’ with
wonderful results.' writes Mrs. Annie M. Nor
man, of Equinunk. Wayne Co.. Pa. I had
consumption . the doctors said I'd die. The
'Golden Medical Discovery ' cured uie."

at Rome, Ga., until pay day,
when they will be furloughed
