SECOND GEORGIA LIKELY TO MOVE
The Men Expecting an Order to GO to
Porto Rico

Porto Rico.
Tampa, Fla, July 1S.-The belief here is
strong that the Second Georgia Regiment
viii make a move somewhere this week
one report has 1t that the regiment win be
ordered aboard transports Tuesday This
rumor is strengthened by a further report
that Gen. Coppinger's corps, to which this
division is attached has been ordered to
be in readiness to move and that Porto
Rico is the objective point
An order to take transports for Porto
Rico would be welcomed by the officers and
men of the Second, They are tired of In
action and the monotony of camp life and
now that the long rainy spell has made
the camp almost uninhabitabe the desire
for a change is increased.
Among the sick from the First Battal-
ion recently sent to the Fort Mcpherson
hospital are Quartermaster Sergeant
George H. Ellis of Company L and Sergt.
Fred Mcconnell of the same company, both
of whom are well known in Savannah.
Serst Mcconnell IS said to be quite ill
with typhoid fever.
Quite a number Of men have been dis
charged from the regiment on account of
physical disability or defects which were
overlooked at the time of their physical
examination before being admitted to the
service. In fact, the new recruits hardly
equal the number of discharges in some
of the companies, one company having
lost thirteen men in this way. New re-
cruits are coming in every day, however
Seven arrived from Brooks county yes
terday for Company NJ. Among the re-
cent additions to Company are Ed Kill
lorin and Marion Lucas of Savannah.
Religious exercises were conducted at
the camp yesterday by Rev Mr.. McDou-
gal of Townsville, assisted by Chaplain
Tilley. Sunday is always a very quiet
day at the camp of the Second Regiment,
the only military exercise being the morn
ing inspection of quarters. After this the
men have the rest of the day to them
selves Those who >are not on the sick
| list can go to town, if they wish. There
! has been so much soldering in this sick
business that an order has been issued
prohibiting any man on the sick list from
| leaving his company street
Private II. L. Watterson of Company b
| is visiting friends in Savannah
Private Jack Simpson has been made
| quartermaster sergeant of Company b.
succeeding Quartermaster Sergeant
| J. l. Bond who gave uD

Fleming filed the position during the in
term and performed the duties very sat
isfactorily.

Griffin, Ga, July 1S.-There is little Of

day with no difficulties Mastering in re-

Gambler will not consent TO take any I'M
til fun consent Is given by their parents
Capt. Henry Kolshorn arrived this
morning from Savannah, bringing several
men with him. Capt. Kolshorn intends to
have an IDEAL company, and there is no
doubt of the fact that his intentions are
sure TO materialize, which will place his
command at the top of the column
Capt Gilbert of Albany has the largest
company in camp, and is confident he will
secure his fun quota of men this week
He is a born gentleman, and a man of
sterling integrity. His company is con-
Sidered to be the best drilled one in camp.

experienced.

The arrangement Of furniture is
much more formal than in the United
States. II is a very common sight to
see a splendidly furnished parlor with
row Of STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs, all
alike, with their backs against the wall
and as close together aSthey can be
placed.
Heavy single doors, such as are used
in the United States, are practically
unknown in Mexican houses, either at
entrances or between interior rooms.
All doors open in the middle and are
fastened with bolts top and bottom.
Exterior doors are always fitted with
glass panels, for they also serve as
windows. All such doors opening on
the street or open court are fitted with
solid shutters that are folded at the
sides out OF sight when not in use.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress OF the house OF worry and re-
sponsibility in a manner that is al.
most unknown in the United States
The cook is given so much day and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions fol
the day, even the staples that are
usually bought in large quantities in
other countries. On 81 a day a cook
will provide a very good table for a
family of three or four. and get enough
beans and tortillas and chile TO set
the servants table besides. They can
really do better than their mistresses,
because they can usually drive sharp
or bargains with the marketmen Of
their own class. and they have more
patience 10 haggie over the last penny.
