CHIEFS OF POLICE IN SESSION.
Heavy Rain InterGeres with VaIdOs-
fa,a Carnival.


Valdosta, Ga, July 19-The heavy rains
that fell last night and this morning
threw a damper on the first day of the
midsummer carnival, but it by no means
brought encouragement TO the committees
that have the carnival entertainment in
charge.
With the promise of fair weather to-
morrow, the committees have gotten ev-
erything In shape for the full programme
OF attractions including the industrial
and floral parades and AL the outdoor at
fractions.
The state convention of the Association
of County Officers, Chiefs of Police and
Marshals was held here to-day with Sher-
if J. T. Holder of Stewart county as
chairman, and c. A. Powell of Oglethorpe
as secretary.
The attendance was not as large as 1t
will be tomorrow, as a number of officials
only arrived this evening.
The convention was welcomed to the city
by Mayor Smith. and response was de-
livered by Chief of Police WHY Williams
of Columbus.
After the roll call and the enrolment OF
new members, President Holder delivered
strong one, coVeflng the purposes of the
organization, suggesting some reforms and
paying tribute to members Of the associa-
ton who have died during the year. He
paid a splendid tribute to Chief of Police
Connally of Atlanta who was taken
i'll the first day of the
last convention and never
recovered The Illness of Chief Connally
prevented him from being present at the
second days meeting of the convention In
Atlanta, and his dues were unpaid at the
time of his death for that reason. Pres
ident Holder recommended, in his address,
that the family of the deceased chief be
paid the amount due from the benefit
fund of the associat ion as he was sure
that sickness alone prevented the chief
from paying his dues 10 the association at
Savannah
A committee was appointed to draft res
olutions of respect to the deceased chief
and to Sheriff Harren of this county, who
has also died since the last meeting.
The association adjourned until O'Clock

DOwnpOur of Rain.


Chattanooga, Tenn, July 13-The First
battalion of the First Georgia Regiment
returned to camp from the rifle range this
morning about 9 o'clock thoroughly
dIenched. The men of the battalion had
passed the night of wind and rain under
their little shelter tents, which are a poor
enough excuse for shelter in a driving
rain, and had marched to the camp in a
shower besides They arrived at the camp
hungry wet ana chilled TO the marrow
But they had enjoyed a great shoot, and
had il not been cut short by the rain they
would have been al practice to-day.
The Second battalion goes 10 the range
Tomorrow, but in time the turn Of The
First viii come again, and every man of
them eagerly awaits it, Some excellent
scores were made yesterday. Lieut. Coles
and Capt Drummond scored the highest
OF all, making five bulls eyes in succession.
An incident of remarkable marksman-
ship was observed. A limb no larger than
a bullet oVershadOwed a point of the
range Sergt Philpot was ordered to cut
II away, and casting himself prone upon
tine ground, he did so on the second shot
the distance being little short of $50 yards
He cut the limb as smooth as IL he had
d1eu q pruning hiIc.
Cob Lawton has received for the regi-
ment from the Daughters of Liberty Of
Savannah towels and night shirts that
are greatly appreciated by the men. He
has also received his pro rata of the re-
ceipts Of the Beckmann cafe Of Savannah

SPENCE TO BE A MAJOR.
His Appointment Takes Precedence
over That of Mai. league.

Atlanta, Ga, July 13.-It is understood
that Lieut. r. E. l.. Spence of the regu-
lar service, who arrived here yesterday
among the wounded from Santiago, will,
after ALL be one of the majors of the
Third Georgia Regiment
Since the action of the war department
prohibiting more than two majors to the
regiment It was thought that Lieut.
Spences appointment by Gov. Atkinson
would be ineffective. 1t appears, how
ever, that the appointment will take pre-
cedence over that of Maj. league of Au-
gusta, who was named to fill the vacancy
caused by the refusal of Maj Shewmake
Maj. Shewmake was appointed before
Maj. Spence but Maj league was not
aud hence il Is understood, at the adiu-
tant generals Office that the latter viii
be dropped, being the junior.
Lieut.. Spence's wounds in the leg and
hand are not very serious and he Will
probably be able TO go on duty by the
time Gov Atkinson returns ana his COM
mission in the volunteer service is made
out.

GEORGIA'S THIRD REGIMENT.
The Men at Camp NOrthcn Gaining in
Proficiency Daily.

Proficiency Daily.
Griffin, Ga, July ia few moments
spent at Camp Northen will readily con-
vince one of the fact that Georgia will
soon send another regiment of her sons 10
the front in the line of battle, or they will
soon be ready for that duty
The men are now drilling from four 10
six hours each day, and when all are upon
the parade ground in squads of twelve or
twenty they show off TO a decided adVan-
tage, and one can readily see from day
to day the Improvement
Camp has been established, and Col
Gambler issues his orders for the day each
morning to the adjutant. OF course the
orders are not of the nature to command a
regiment, but are strict and enforced.
Guard mount is had each afternoon at 5:45
o'clock, when a detail from each company
is accepted 10 serve guard during the
night. Many of the men have never seen
guard duty before, and interesting end
laughable incidents are the result of their
first lessons.
A postoftice has been established upon
the ground and those writing letters to
the soldiers should direct them: Third
Regiment United States Infantry, Camp
Northern"
No complaint is heard from any source
regarding the fare, and although the men
have been on army rations for several
days they knew before hand what thew
would have to eat, and are not kicking
about it. New recruits are constantly ar
irving and il is hoped the regiment will
soon be ready for mastering in. All the
stan and field officers will soon be upon
the ground, and then things viii take a
decided change for more military ap-
pearance.

shot wound in the thigh and calf of the

ed and his right shoulder blade was clip
ped by a Spanish bullet
Mai Blair Taylor in charge of the spe-
cial, told an Associated Press reporter to-
day that Capt. Bigelow's wounds were
healing nicely, but a fever, superinduced
by malaria contracted in Cuba, was caus-
ing the gallant New Yorker some trouble.
DR.. Taylor does not consider Capt. Bige-
lows condition dangerous, but the fever
greatly retards his ultimate recovery.
Capt. A. o. Ducat. Twenty-fourth In
fantry, is improving rapidly, and has spent
the best part of the day on the piazza of
the big hospital. He was shot through the
thigh. He and his second officer. Lieut.

morrow night if their leaves of absence
are received.

end of the week. While using his glasses
during the first days fighting he was
struck by a bullet which entered his little
finger aud passing through his hand

came out at the small of his back. His
escape from death was miraculous
Hesardlng the death of Col c. A. Wick
on of the Twenty-second, whose home is
at Eaton, Pa. and TO which some doubt
was attached. Lieut. Wassel said TODAY:
| Col Wickon had been dead at least
twelve hours when found. His body was
in the dense wood, and nobody with per-
haps the exception of Bottimos "a band
man. knows just how he met MS death

second, whose home is in New York, end
who was wounded in the head, is out of
danger.
Hundreds of kilograms have been receiv-
ed during the past two days from all parts
OF dhe country making inquiries as to the
condition of the men. The hospital author

embarrassed regarding an appropriation for

interesting Statement.

"I was in good health up to about 10
years ago, when I began to suffer from
constipation and piles, and neglect of
a cold brought on catarrh, followed by
heart difficulty, and liver and kidney
troubles. My constitution fought against
them all, until my suffering drove me to
consultation with my father, who was
physician He advised me to take Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Having confidence in his
judgment began taking the medicine, to-
gether with Hoods Pills, and / ended
with them, taking no other medicines,
and the benefits have derived from them
have been great and surprising. Since
then Hoods Sarsaparilla has been to me,
