It VIII be Begun in This Section Of the
State n a Dav or Two.
Lieut.. c. B. Satterlee, assistant acting adj
jutant general. will arrive in Savannah to.
day to begin his inspection Of the troops In
this section Of the state.
He will probably begin with the Scriven
Troop, and the McIntosh and Liberty troops
and will commence the inspection of the Sa-
vannah companies the latter part Of the
week or the first Of next week, as announced
in the MORNING News yesterday.
The parade of the troops tomorrow and
the entertainment Of the Savannah Volun-
teer Guards as the theater Thursday night
will interfere some what with the inspec-
tion Of the Savannah troops this week.
Lieut.. Satterlee has about completed the
inspection Of all the troops In the state ex-
cept those in this immediate section. An
admirer Of Lieut. Satterlee's said the other
day, in speaking Of him, that no one
been closely associated with him,
the amount OF work that Lieut.. Satterlee is
doing. Since beginning his work he has
Travelled all over the state, inspected over
fifty companies, some of them in remote
sections of the state and difficult 20 reach
and made elaborate reports upon the oondi-
ton Of each company. His Inspections have
been no superficial affairs, but so thorough
and complete as 10 send the cold chills down
the backs of officers and men whose COM
panies were not quite up to the standard and
who feared they would be disbandei. In
addition, he has done an immense amount
OF office work in the adjutant'general's office
in Atlanta, work which there has been no
one to do heretofore and which would have
gone undone IL he had not done it.
you have no idea OF the amount OF work
of this kind there is to do,n said the cap
tain.
'In addition to this, he had made up an
official list Of all the commissioned officers
Of every military company In the state,
showing the lineal rank of every officer,
something that has been greatly needed.
The list will be published in book form for
the benefit of the commissioned officers.
With this list there will be no difficulty at
any assemblaRe of the military of the state
in ascertaiuing what officer is entitled to
command il there are several superior Off
GERS of the same rank present, and the posi-
tion in line of the various commands, ac-
cording TO precedence Of their commanding
officers.
HE is doing his work without a cent of
pay from the state and receives nothing bat
his expenses and that cut down to its lowest
figures. He is offered as expenses only
what it costs him to live in Atlanta. The
government of course would allow him to
receive no compensation for his
work from the state. Lieut.. Satter-
lee is not a native of the
state. has no interests here and is doing the
work only as a matter of choice and for
love Of his profession. He can throw up his
position at any time and return to an easier
position In Washington If he chooses. am
satisfied that if the few newspapers and the
small number Of military men who have
taken offense at Lieut.. Satterlee's methods
were only acquainted with the work that
he is doing aud the sacrifices that he is max
ing, that they would Immediately retract
anything they may have said rejecting
upon him."
Lieut. Satterlee, as is well known, is held
In the highest esteem in Savannah and will
find his task here pleasant one.
