CALL ON SECRETARY ROOT.
To Discuss Sending of Georgia Reg
iment to National Encampment.

To Discuss Sending of Georgia Reg
iment to National Encampment.
Col. c. Arthur Gordon received a
communication from Adjutant General
Robertson yesterday morning, saying
that he had laid the matter of sending
a Georgia regiment to the National
encampment at Chickamauga before
Gov. Terrell. The Adjutant General
took occasion in this letter to say that
he was heartily in favor of the plan,
and hoDed that it would meet the ap-
proval of the Secretary of War.
The Governor wilt leave in a few
days for New York, and it is expected
that he Will stop over in Washington to
lay the matter before Secretary Root.
1t is understood that he is in favor
of the plan and that he will urge it
before the War Department. While
Gov. Terrell is in favor of an encamp-
ment, it is also known that he favors
Griffin as the place.
In the event the matter is acted
faVorably upon, and that is the i'm
preston of the officers in the city, it
is not at all unlikely that the First
Regiment will be we'll represented
since 1t took the initiative in the mat
ter Since Col. Gordon's succession to
SAAS SOAOiiClN~ Tie regiment mas taken
on new life. At present it is under
going practical reorganization, and
the officers are taking Unusual interest
IN all matters of military moment. The

soon be felt. The officers of the city
have thoroughly posted themselves on
its provisions and will be prepared to
reap the benefits which it provides
tn
great throughout the state at this time,
owing to the adoption of new regu-
lat1ons and the election of officers At
the several armories in Savannah on
next Monday night this election will be
held. Quite number of the COM
panies have already held their prelimi-
nary elections, and those that have not
VIII do so between now and Monday
At the First Infantry ar1nory there will
be elections in one or two of the com
panies tonight.
The Hussars win also hold their
preliminary election tonight. Capt W.
w. Jordon, Jr., Lieut.. Isadore Silver
burg and Lieut.. w. H. Connerat, Jr..
will be reelected. The troop will hold
its regular weekly drill, which was
postponed on account of the Ogle-
thorpes Minstrel show. The First In
fantry will also have their regular drill
and, the weather permitting, will have
an extended order drill in the extern
sion, in preparation for the battle ex-
ercises. The Hussars will also drill
with the same end in view in outpost
work and extended order.
Preparations are going ahead for the
exercises. The Naval Reserves have
been asked to participate, and it is
thought that they will accept. In that
event the Hotchkiss gun will be used,
In case the Chatham Artillery decide
not to accept the invitation of the First
Regiment, the troops will be deprived
of the Calling gun. The Hotchkiss gun
will do effective rapid-fire work.
