COL. LAwTON's FIRST ORDER.
He Assumes Command of the First
Regiment.

Col A. r. Lawton. Jr., has received his
commission as colonel of the First Regi-
ment Infantry. Georgia Volunteers, and is
now in active command Of the regiment.
He received notification Immediately upon
his commission being issued. The first or
der in his new capacity announces that by
virtue OF commission issued by the COVER
nor OF the state Of Georgia as colonel of
the First Regiment of Infantry Georgia
Volunteers, 10 rank as such from April 4,
and by virtue of the order OF the governor
and commander in chief of the state of
Georgia appointing him as colonel, and as
signing him to the command of the First
Regiment OF Infantry Georgia Volunteers,
he has taken command of the regiment.
Capt. w. S. Rockwell senior captain in
the second battalion, will act as major I'M
til an election for a successor TO Col. Law
ton Is held. 1t is looked upon as a fore
gone conclusion by the members of the
battalion generally that Capt. Rockwell
will ultimately be elected to that Office.
Several others have been mentioned in that
connection, however. but as vet there has
been very little discussion of the matter
among those interested. As Capt. Rock
well is very DESTROYS OF making the pro-
posed trip TO Richmond for the celebration
of June 80 and July il is more than likely
that he will remain in command of his
company until after that time.

CALLED TO A oHAPLAINCY.
Rev. DIR. Vass Elected Chaplain of
the University of Virginia.

Rev. L. c. Vass, d. D., whose pastorate
of the First Presbyterian church win end
next week, has been elected to the chap
laincy of the University of Virginia.
The position is one of prominence, and
while the friends of DR.. Vass in Savan-
nah regret his departure. they are graft
fled that his future work will be in
field which he is so eminently qualified to
occupy.
DIR. Nass was the unanimous choice of
the faculty of the University of Virginia
for chaplain. The university is, perhaps
the foremost institution of learning in the
south. with its many hundreds of young
men from all sections; so that the position
of chaplain opens a door of influence for
doing good to the men who are to be
leaders of thought and power in this coun-
try. The station involves service during
the university session with an ample va
cation.

Opened Tonight.


The Pastime Athletic Club will be for
nlally opened tonight The principal
event of the evening will be a ten-round
scientific boxing contest between Larry
Mcdonald and "Sheenie Joe" Ullman.
This bout ought to, and doubtless will
be an interesting exhibition. Mcdonald is

funct Savannah Athletic Club. He is a
very clever man with the gloves, is quick
and has the advantage of Ullman in
weight

city but a short while. is already well
known. He has made friends wherever he

honorable methods-something not always
seen in a boxer. Ullman knows how 10 han
die himself. and his bout with Mcdonald
Will show him to be very scientific man.
As curtain raiser there will be a short
go between kid Norton and Denny Gal
lagher. They are both pretty good men and
the sparring will be quite worth seeing
The entertainment viii begin at 9
O'Clock. Instructor Ulman promises per-
feet order as no disorderly characters will
be allowed in the club.
