Col Gambler has already established
his quarters there, and the recruits for
the different companies are going right
along. 1t is expected, according TO the
present outlook, that the regiment Will
be ready for organization within the next
two weeks. Officers are now looking for
recruits in all parts of the state, and in
many Instances good results are reported.
Or. S. r. Harris of Carrollton, who was
appointed by Gov. Atkinson assistant sur
geon of the Third Georgia Regiment was
in the city yesterday for the purpose of
examining Capt Koshorn's men, Capt.
Kolshorn had ffty-one on the list, and of
this number tWenty-one were rejected
considerably larger percentage than was
expected Two of these were McCook and
Gay, the men who got into the quarrel
night before last, which resulted so Sc
riously. 1t is said, however, that both of
company if things turn out all right.
In speaking of his work yesterday Or.
Harris said that he rejected men princi-
pally from three causes namely, atfec-
tons Of the eyes and heart and light
weight. The first two especially are con
sidered serious. In a great many in
stances he finds men who are too light in
weight In comparison with their hight on
account of excessive bicycle riding. He
attributes quite a number of reflections TO
this one cause. He left the city last night
for Brunswick. where he goes 10 examine
recruits for another company which Will
go with the Third Georgia Regiment.
Capt. KolshOrn had hfty-one men on
his list, and IL was expected that he would
be able to carry up at least forty-five
out of these, but the reflections were more
than were looked for. DR.. Harris basis
his action on the ground weak men are
not desired in the army and saws there
have been a good many reflections in all
parts of the state.
Capt. Kolshorn did not go to Griffin
with his men, as he expected, since he has
received no orders to that effect, but was
told only to send the men. He will re-
main here for several days, therefore, and
continue to look out for recruits at the
same old stands. In this work he will be
assisted by Lieut.. w. K. Leaken, who re-
turned to the city from Tampa ierday.
AS DR.. Harris does not think he will
be able to return to Savannah for the
present, Capt. KOlshorn will make appli-
cation for the appointment of a local ply
stefan to examine other recruits who will
be taken in within the next few days. He
expects to go to Griffin himself with a
large number of men within the next
week or so.
The recruits marched down to the Cen
tra depot from the armory about
O'clock in command of the corporals. The
Regimental Band headed the parade
furnishing enlivemng music. and they
were escorted to the depot by the Ger
man Volunteers. The music attracted
quite a number OF people, ana a good
crowd gathered at the depot 20 see them
