TO HAVE A Gym"
The Guards Add New Feature to
Their Armory.

Their Armory.
At meeting of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards battalion Monday night the fitting
up of a gymnasium and bath rooms was
discussed. TWAS arranged that a subscrip-
ton be started among the members at once,
and that not less than 81 coo be raised to
equip the gymnasium. The list was opened
last night and several hundred dollars were
raised.
The membership fee viii remain the same
as at present, $40 for active and t20 for pay
members. annually. 1t has been shown
that the handling of a gun merely is not
sufficient exercise TO properly develop a
man; it is believed that the addition of the
gymnasium will strengthen and develop
where the exercise with gun will not. In
medately after the subscription is raised
work on the gymnasium will begin. The
Guards hope to have it completed by Oct l.
