GREAT DEMAND FOR PLACE.
Over 21,OOO Applications for Less
Than 800 Positions.

The organization of the volunteer army
made necessary the appointment from civil
life of a few less than five hundred stall
officers and second leutenants. The enor-
nous amount of work entailed upon the
President and the War Department, par
ticularly the adjutant general and his force
by these appointments can be imagined
when it is known that for the five hundred
appointments there were more than 2looo
applicants. Every one of the applications
had to be briefed, arranged and filed and
before the appointments were made many
of the applications had to be handled sew
eral times. Each one had 10 be answered.
and many of them were the subjects Of
considerable correspondence. The major
ity of the applicants had influential sup
port, and the President, The Secretary Of
War and Adjutant General Corbin were
obliged to discuss the appointments per-
sonally with the friends of the applicants.
No regret is expressed in official circles
that the task is now approaching compile
ton.

supplies. The three division ambulance

and in running order, as well as the re-
serve ambulance company. The personnel
of the hospital corps of this command
consists of about seventy-five medical Of
ficers, seventy-five hospital stewards
thirty acting hospital stewards, and IA
privates. The system of transferring on.

ST. Louis, Sept 19.AThe Republic to-
morrow will say: ...-...,.. ',.-.
at can be stated upon authority that
cannot be questioned that the deal for the
organization of the Continental Tobacco
Company is again on. this time with the
chances largely in favor of its consum-
nation. The scheme is to form a corpora
ton with a capital stock sufficiently large
to enable 1t to take in all of the plug
tobacco factories in the United States,
including the big independent plants of
bacco Companies of this city. The Amer
lean Tobacco Company is behind the deal
and it was behind the one which fell
through several weeks ago.
IF the deal goes through the fndepend-
ent plants here will become part and par
eel of the Continental Company, while
the cigarette factories, which they are OPP
Grating in order to even up with the Amer
lean company for entering the plug field,
will be merged into the American COM
pany.

co Company is in the city. He declares he

much less work to be done than they ex-
pected. ~
No work Is asked to be done on vii
mington Island. This the citizens expect
to do. They ask the county to build a
bridge over Turner's creek at the oyster
factory on Wilmington Island to connect
that island with White Marsh Island
On White Marsh Island the Confeder-
ate Military road still exists and is well
preserved, requiring only that the earth
from the bitches be thrown in the middle
Of the road, where it is worn down to the
cedar and pine roots. There would also
have to be built at either end of this
old road two short pieces of new road in
the one case to connect with the bridge
over Turner'S creek and in the other
case to extend to a point opposite fThun-
derholt as near thereto as IL could he
brought. These citizens. would operate a
ferry from Thunderbolt TO this nearest
point on White Marsh.
Having gone over most of the ground.
we found no Physical difficulties in the
way, the nature of the work being the
same as the road work done in other parts
OF the county by the convict force. With
the facilities possessed by the county, the
amount of road work would be small as
compared with that done in different por-
tons of the county. The bridge over the
creek would require more expert labor,
but much of 1t could be done by the con-
victs ~-ss ,,sa--

need of this convenience that Capt Au-

to the committee, the following help:
Thirty colored hands will give a months
work each, if the work is not done when
they are in the MIDST of their clustering
and fishing season; the landowners win

Ter viii donate the entire large lot OF
shell now at the oyster factory. and also
the output of the winter, which he will
not only donate, but viii load on lighters.

.Inasmuch as Wilmington island has de-
veloped into a summer resort, second only
10 Tybee and is capable of very much
greater development and White Marsh
Island IS equally desirable, we feel thar
this request, from a large number of in
fluental citizens, who have expended
money on these islands, should not be dis
regarded.
We, therefore, report favorably upon the
petition, and ask that the petition. with
this report, and the United States coasr
survey chart accompanying it, be trans
mitted to the County Commissioners, with
the respectful request that they have the
route surveyed and staked out and an
estimate of the cost of the work. and
that the work be done, unless the cost Is
found to be very much greater than the
amounts expended in other portions of the
county. Respectfully submitted
