what organization shall act as an escort to

Gov. Atkinson has been appealed to and
the matter may get to the courts. The trou-
BILE exists between the Fifth Regiment of
Georgia on the one hand and the Gate CITY
Guards on the other. Two wears ago the
latter organization refused TO re-enlist in
the State volunteer militia
The Gate CITY Guard is an old and wealthy
organization. 1t has plenty of money TO
spend. and prefers entertaining visiting
military TO going into the State encamD-
ment. Still. ii wants to carry arms on hoi-
days. The volunteer troops of the State
insist that the Guard ought not to be al
lowed guns, unless it is subject to the dis
cipline of the adiutant general and military
board.
Now the State volunteers refuse to pa
rade with the Guard if the latter bears arms
Attorney Rosser filed an argument with
Gov. Atkinson to-day against allowing the
Guard to carry guns. Whichever way the
governor decides. there will probably be
an application to the courts for an iniunc-
tion.
Both organizations are anxnns to act as
escort TO the President and his Cabinet. but
it NAV turn out that both will be prevented
by restraining orders.
