of the causes which has brought this
change about is due to some friction be-
tween the government and the Plant Sys-
TEN, brought about by the iatter's manage
meut IN the handling of freights and
troops. Just exactly what brought about
the trouble, or where che hitch came in no
one seems 60 know, but nevertheless the
impression Is out all the same that the
government and the Plant System are not
on as good terms now as they were some
weeks ago.
Lieut. Cheatham Wilson is trying to
work up plan TO organize company of
sharp shooters from the ranks of the
Second Georgia. He has the material in
the regiment for a good company of 100
men. Recently during the target practices
held at Palmetto beach, Il has been ascer-
tanned that there are some fine shots
among the material heretofore
regarded as an unknown quantity and
Lieut. Wilson thinks that by selecting
the ten best shots out of the last of The
twelve companies of the regiment he viii
have company of 100 sharp shooters.
During the practices, scores have been
kept of the shooting, and the ten men
10 be selected viii be the ten men who
are recorded as having the best scores
on their company reports. Lieut.. Will
sons plan embraces the idea of taking
these men 10 Savannah and using the
AVondale range, which is considered the
best in the South Col. Brown and other
officers of the company heartily endorse
Lieut. Wilson's plan and hope that he
win be able to carry IL through to a sue
Cessful conclusion. But there is a big
stumbling block in the way of putting
this scheme through successfully, and
that is the uncertainty of the future move
ments of the Second Georgia. If it could
be known with any degree of certainly,
that the Second Georgia would be trans
To II in laa IN
or that the regiment would camp mere
for ten days or two weeks longer Lieut.
Wilson's plans would no doubt be tut
in operation at once He has looked into
the matter of rates for the men, and has
every detail mapped out.
Now he Is waiting TO see (which way
the cat jumps" as the saying goes, and
hopes to hear something different within
the next day or two, which viii enable
him to know what he viii be allowed 10
do. or what he will be prohibited from
doing. Your Uncle Sam is the only man
who can unite the knot and make the lieu
tenant a free man to carry out his pet
scheme With Lieut. Wilson's skill as a
shot and his willingness 10 teach others
how 10 snoot, there is no doubt but that
his plan il a owed to so through, would
furnish the government with fine com
pany of sharp shooters capable of doing
a good deal of damage to the enemy.
Company b Of the Second Georgia Is quite
proud of the record il is making in fur
nishing orderlies for regmental head
quarters. 1t is given out that this com
pany, during the period that the regiment
has been in camp here has furnished ten
more orderles than all of the other com
panies in the regiment combined. As in
telhgence and general appearance figure
prominently in the selection of men for
the position of orderlies, this record made

by the friends of the members of that
company The BIS say that they propose
to keep up this record, and if possible inn
prove upon it.
