GRAY's MILITARY BILL VETOED.
The Governor Opposes the Provisions
of the Measure.

Atlanta. Ga. Dec. 17.-GOv. Atkinson to-
day vetoed the ltH introduced by Mr..
Gray OF CatOOsa, requiring that all mill
tary companies be attached to some reg
ularly organized regiment or battalion.
While the bill was general in its charac-
ter. il was supposed to be aimed especial
ly at the Gate City Guard of this city.
being designed TO require the governor TO
attach that command 10 the Fifth regi-
ment. The Guard some time ago re-en-
listed in the state service. but the COM
mand has not as yet been assigned to any
regiment or battalion.
The Guard has always been opposed TO
being made part Of the Fifth regiment
because there is no friendly feeling be
tween the two organizations Before en-
listing the Guard expressed a desire that
they would be allowed TO remain an I'M
attached command under the present
law, and 1T was thought that the governor
might grant the request before the
Gray bill was introduced and passed. Gov.
Atkinson's reason for vetOing il is that
he thinks the commander in chief should
have the discretion TO do as he deems
proper in such cases. He thought the ten
dency to strip the commander in chief
Of his authority and discretion in the
management OF the militia needed a check.
The governors action is not an indication,
however, that he will allow the Gate City
Guard to remain as an unattached com
mand as an especial favor, but on the
other hand. il is understood that he had
already decided TO attach the Guard TO
the Fifth regiment
