THE CADETS ENoAMPMENT.
The Company to Go Into Camp a
Tybee July IS.


Tybee July IS.
The Cadets will go into seven days en-
campment at Tybee July Is. The state has
provided tents for the company and they
will arrive here in few days. About fifty
Cadets will go into camp.
The company will leave the city on the
morning of July 10. under command of
Capt. Branch and Lieut.. Brooks, in heavy
military order, and upon arriving al Tybee
camp will be pitched, most probably at the
then enter upon the regular routine camp
the calls will be sounded have
not been determined, but they will
include the reveille, guard mount, policing
Of camp, inspection Of quarters, rifle prac-
tice. company drill, squad drill, instruction
of recruits, skirmish drills, and dress pa
rade. The day will always close with tattoo
and taps. The Regimental band will be in
attendance all the time.
An officer Of the Cadets informed a
MORNING NEWS reporter yesterday that
Adjt.-Gen. Kell has promised to furnish the
company with thirty tents besides the mess
hall. The company will carry its own
cooks in charge of competent commisary.
Strict discipline will be maintained during
the entire time. Every member will
be required to answer to his name
at the stated roll calls during
the day, and for tattoo, and any infraction
of the rules win be punished. A pro-
gramme will be arranged that will give the
men considerable work, building up their
physical systems, and while the discipline
will be maintained, ample opportunities
will be given for pleasure. This, however,
will be subordinate to the objects and pur-
poses of encampment. Instructions in all
the practical duties of the soldier will be
given.
A great deal of enthusiasm is manifested
among the members of the organization,
and the number of men in the encampment
will be limited only to the number who
isgl ebSyerssh s Is Tsa IF that the
movement has met with the most hearty
approval of a number of employers of the
members of the company, and the officers
have been very much gratihed by such ex-
pressions of approval. The company So
lected the second week in July for the
reason that more members will be able to
get leave of absence at that time
1t is the intention of the company to have
some interesting feature every afternoon
either in an individual prize or squad, COM
pany or skirmlsh drill, closing always with
dress parade. It is expected that all the
employers will be able to permit their
young men to take advantage of the op-
portunity to get week of wholesome out
door exercise.
As soon as a programme has been agreed
upon the information will be given the pub
lie. 1t has been intimated that some of the
other commands will visit the Cadet
during the encampment. and take part 10
the dress parades. This will prove an at
tractive feature, and, doubtless, many PEG
pie from the city will go down afternoons
to see the display. The rules, which are to
be decided upon, win govern the arrange
ment and appointment of tents, etc. This
is the first encampment of this kind ever
given by Savannah company, and it will
doubtless, prove an attractive and popular
feature of the military hereafter. The Ca
diets are going to make their time valuable,
as well as pleasant on the island.
