MILITARY MATTERS.
Devoted to the Interests of Our Local Sol
diers and Sailors.

diers and Sailors.
The navy department has about COM
pleted arrangements for the annual
outing of the naval militia of North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia,
to be held at Port Royal during July.
Arrangements will be made to convey
the Brunswick naval militia by a war
vessel to Port Royal.
The lockers for the Rifemen's ar
mory are now completed and fill a
long-felt want. The work was done
by Macarthur 6 Homan.
The Naval Reserves are adding new
members to their roll at every meet
ing. The interest in this branch of
the service is on the increase. We
can we'll feel proud of the two COM
panies of Naval Reserves, and the Off
GERS deserve much credit for their
hard work and good results attained
thereby.
Now that the summer is almost here,
wouldn't it be good idea for the ofi-
GERS of the different companies to
meet and discuss the rife range? A
good location could be found near the
city and the practice would soon put
our boys in good shape to win marks
mems and sharpshooters' badges at
the next camp.
/ Next Wednesday night the Rifle
men will have their monthly prize
drill and will wear the new uniform
coats, white duck trousers and white
duck caps. 1t goes without saying
that they will put up their usual
handsome appearance. Corporal
Twomey is now the wearer of the
medal.
The Uniform Rank, knights of
Pythlas, will drill every night until
their departure for Savannah. The
boys anticipate big time, and from
all reports from Savannah they will
be treated royalty. Much interest is
being manifested in the division and
the outlook is that they will carry a
large crowd with them. Sir Knight
Captain 7. Newman is considered the
best instructor in the state.
There has been considerable discus
sion In military circles over the lack
of suitable drill ground for dress pa
rades, drills, etc. A TIMES represen-
tative in looking for a desirable place
discovered on George street, between
Carpenter and Egmon streets,
Wright square) the very location.
If the trees could be cut down and the
ground leveled off and Bermuda grass
planted it would make an ideal drill
ground. This matter should be
brought before the military and
proper steps taken to secure this loca-
tion or one equally as good.
THE TIMES will make feature of a
military column in its Sunday issues.
Anyone having matters of interest to
contribute will kindly mail or deliver
to F. A. Dunn, TIMES office.
