FIRST-LIEUT. THOMAS A. SPENCER,
(Of Company b


Despite the fact that Governor Tyler has
said that the companies must be attach
ed TO one of the regiments, the officers
and men of the Blues companies are
hopeful that he can be induced to change
his mind and allow the old Independent
battalion TO be recognized as before the
war with Spain. If this Is done, Major
Sol. Cutchins will command it. There
can be no question of that.
With the reorganization of the Blues
the Armory is beginning to assume a
distinctly lively appearance. Every night
the company rooms and the old drill hall
hold members of the organization. or the
old veterans of the Blues Association.
They do not come for business, especially.
They come many If the old fellows, at
least, because they have been in the
habit of doing so for years. For years it
has been their custom to meet at the
Armory at nights and talk over war ex-
periences, the status Of the companies,
and the prospects. While the boys were
gone the veterans used TO gather at the
Armory occasionally, but the meetings
were few and were not enjoyed.
But it is different now. The boys are
back. The walls echo with their merry
laughter and will soon reverberate with

CAPTAIN WILLIAM L. DAUGHTREY.
(Of Company 81

WI (oHiPdHy D.J
He is only a few years the senior Of
Captain Daughtrey.
Sergeant Billy Jones's elevation from
the ranks was a deserved tribute TO the
popularity of one Of the best-known
young men I'm the company. The value
of the compliment is enhanced by the
fact that IL comes from those who knew
him best-the men who have spent
Georgia, and Cuba.
The election Of Klein and HAGEN was
something of a surprise, not because they
were undeserving of the honor. or lacked
in fitness in any way, but because each
had declared ii would be impossible for
him TO serve. Klein had been forced 10
resign his second licutenancy while the
was In service, owing TO the Ill
health Of his father. He did not feel
when approached and asked to accept the
first lieutenancy that he could do so.
Hazen felt that his business relations
made IL impossible for him to again enter
the company. So long as the company
was in service he stuck it out. He left
Richmond as first sergeant of the COM
pany, but when Lieutenant Klein resign
ed and Cheatwood was made first leu
tenant the first sergeant went up to the
second lieutenancy. But however exact
ing was the business of each, when they
were made TO see that the old company
really needed their services they each
sacrificed personal interest TO answer the
,all of the Blues. They have proven
themselves fine officers.
