thobbed even to the deep heart of the
city. The sense Of the heroic in men and
women had glowed under the picture OF
the young officers bearing in battle, but
tears came when North Carolina took
knowledge of the youth and promise of
the son who had been torn asunder from
her all too soon. Then, too, the home that
had sent forth u mere youth who should
in one brief hour thrill nations's heart
was turned to with tender coincidence
by scores of loving friends. All day long
these friends called to offer their sym
pathy to those who mOurned.
Among those who came was a commit
tee appointed by Mayor Russ, composed
of Messrs. n. w. West w. S. Primrose
and r. Z. Gray.
Accompanied by the Mayor, these gen
tlemen brought the request that the
family accede to the general desire for
a military funeral. Furthermore, it was
stated by the committee, that as no
church in the city would begin to nc
commodate those who wished to attend
the funeral. that the plan had been sug-
gested to have the ceremonies in the
Capitol grounds.
Deeply touched by those expressions
on the part of their own people, the fam
lily assented to the request, and the ar
rangements will, therefore, proceed after
the manner stated.
At 10 O'clock this morning the com
mittee will meet to complete the details.

SWEEPINGS IN THE SQUARES.
Health officer LeHardy Protests
Against Them.

Health officer LeHardy Protests
Against Them.
Objection has arisen to the carrying out
Of recent permit granted the Park and
Tree Commission by the Sanitary Board
TO scatter sweepings from Drayton street
on parks and squares during the summer
months. Health officer LeHardy does not
consider it advisable to spread sweepngs
now which he believes will be detrimental
to the public health.
When the petition was up for discussion,
Dr. LeHardy seriously objected at the
time, giving his reasons and insisting that
1t would give rise to a protest from resi-
dents. The petition was granted by a
majority vote, however, and the commits
sion will probably proceed to covering the
grass plats very soon.
Speaking of the matter yesterday Health
OHlcer LeHardy raped the action of the
majority voters heavily.
Had the members of the Park and
Tree Commission knowledge of the sub
ject of manuring," he said, "they would
hardly have made such a request. Had
those who voted aye known the require
mcnts of plants or the chemical constitu-
ton of horse dung, even in a dry slate, or
had they one regard for public health,
they would hardly have sanctioned such

a different sight If we do, the other rifles
I presume will be sent back to Georgia
for the use of the home companies
Col. Garrard stated that several men
would be discharged, owing to physical
disability, ii being the intention to keep no
man who was NOT fully able to stand the
vicissitudes of a soldiers life. These are
men who have been found to have some
constitutional trouble which was not dis
covered on first examination, but which
has since been brought to Hight. Men who
are physically incompetent from any cause
win be rooted out of all the regiments of
the army their places being filled with new
recruits. Ninety days time, Col, Garrard
thought. would be required to take an abb
solutely green recruit, who was willing to
apply himself, to make a soldier of him,
one who would have learned to obey inn
plicitly and who would have reasonable
self-conrol in danger
Col. Garrard has been assigned to hold
a field officers court to hear cases against
men charged with offenses against camp
discipline or attractions of the military
laws. He does not anticipate being over
worked in that capacity. His duties are
confined to the Second Regiment. The
men have been behaving so wei that his
duties are apt to be light. Their duties
are performed cheerfully, says Col. Gar
rard, and In their leisure hours there is
considerable jollity and as much pleasure
as possible is derived out of camp life
with music, singing, wrestling and other
forms of amusement
Anybody who thinks the Georgia boys
are going around with funeral faces are
much mistaken" said he. "'They realize
the seriousness of war, but they are light
hearted and cheerful enough to get every
bit of enjoyment they can out of their
situation. The new recruits from the
country towns have taken to the new life
WELL and they and the Savannah boys are
one. There is an intensely strong feeling
of comradeship in the Savannah battalion.
Friendships are being cemented that will
last throughout life
Before Col. Garrard left Tampa it was
generally rumored in camp that several
regiments had received orders to be
ready to move at an hours notice. This
was construed to mean that an early
movement of invasion was con-
templated. Some parts of the
volunteer army are in condition 10
move to Cuba, but the great bulk of it
is not equipped or trained for such work.

THE HUNTER BALDY CASE.
Justice HarIan's Decision an Impor-
tant One.

Justice HarIan's Decision an ImpOr-
tant One.
Considerable interest was felt here
among the lawyers and others in the de-
cision of the United States Supreme Court
in the case of Mary Anne G. Badly VS..
John II. Hunter, carried UP from Chatham
county to the state Supreme Court and
then on TO Washington.
Mr.. John H. Hunter of Hunter, Pcarce
& Battey was sued as the executor of the
estate of his father, the late DR.. Hunter
of Louisville, Ca, to recover certain funds
which had been invested in Confederate
bonds by DR.. Hunter as guardiah for the
plaintiff. Messrs GarraTd Meldrim "
Newman represented Mr.. Hunter, aud
Messrs. Barrow & Osborne represented the
plaintiff. Mr.. Hunter won the case in the
lower court the Georgia Supreme Court
sustained the decision, and the case was
then taken to the United States Supreme
Court.
In one shape or another this case is said
to have been III the courts for about twen-
ty years. The decision of the Supreme
Court is regarded as important as finally
settling the validity of such investments
as were made by DR.. Hunter in good faith
during a period when the Confederate gov
ernmeni was in ful governing control ana
its bonds were OF established market
value.
The decision, which was rendered by
Justice Harlan, viii doubtless become a
recognized AUTHORITY in cases Of a char
acter similar to this one from Savannah,
when the validity of transactions under
the confederacy is called into question.
