1t is difficult as yet to form an estimate
of the number that will go into camp.
There will be a maximum number of $50
men allowed to the regiment This num-
Der will be distributed among the seven
companies. The average maximum at
tendance of the companies will thus be
forty men, but some will carry as MANY
as forty-fve or fifty. The Irish JASPER
Greens and the Savannah Cadets. it is
said, will take up the largest number.
The Chatham Artillery will also be al
lowed to carry forty men, and will prob
ably muster nearly that many for the
