Early in the morning Col. Brown had a
conference with Gen. Jacob Kline. divi-
sion commander, the result of which was
that Col. Brown at once instructed the
recruiting officers to get their details in
readiness to leave tonight for Georgia.
These details were selected several days
ago, but were not sent off as at the time
they were appointed the regiment was
under orders to get ready to leave.
Since then it has developed that the
Second will not likely leave for some days
yet and until then the details will utilize
every spare moment in securing recruits
About $50 men are wanted to fill up the
ranks of the twelve companies to 106 men
each, and for this reason for the next ten
days or two weeks recruiting offices will
be opened at Savannah, Augusta and Ma

The officers of each detail were author
lied TO act as quartermaster and copies
of instruction were delivered to each of
them.
The recruiting officers will not confine
themselves to the cities whose names are
already given, but win endeavor to re-
cruit from that section of the state ada
cent to these recruiting stations
AS fast as a squad of recruits are Sc
cured they will be forwarded to the camps
when they will be uniformed and armed.
When the time for departure arrived
the men did not know whether they want
ed to go or not. While they looked for
ward with a great deal of pleasure to
the fact that they would again meet with
their many friends at home still they
feared that something might happen
while they were away from camp that
would result in their regiment being or
dered away before they could get back
Before going they eXacted promises from
their friends here that any orders to move
would be promptly transmitted so thar
they could take the first train for Tampa.
As the details and their baggage left
camp in large army wagons, they were
heartily cheered and shoWered with good
wishes for abundant success in their work
