SAVANNAH MILITARY MAY
ATTEND ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION
Movement to Be Represented at Olympic Games
Finds Favor With Governor

subject, and the officers are now more
sanguine of success than ever before.
When the matter was previously
under discussion, much depended on
the passage of the Dick bill. 1t was
then considered that the passage of
the measure would practically assure
the attendance of a regiment from
Georgia.
The Committee on Military Affairs
has informed Maj Coney that a large
encampment is assured in the vicinity
of the games. In this encampment
they report, each state will be rep
resented by at least a regiment, while
many foreign powers will send rep
resentatives to the competition.
Gov. Terrell stated to me a few
days ago. said Maj. Coney yester-
day, that he was heartily in favor of
the movement to send a provisional
regiment to participate in the joint
camp of regulars and militia. If such
n regiment is taken from Georgia it
will be chosen from the different reg
iments, pro rata. In that event two
full companies would go from Savan.
nah. The regiment which would be
sent would be a full one, up to the
army regulations, and the companies
would, therefore, have to be full ones,
even if it became necessary to detail
or transfer men from other companies.
THE prospect for such a trip should
be looked forward to with great pleas
ure by all military men," said Mai.
Coney, while the opportunity of en-
tering the Olympic games should
cause increased interest in military af-
fairs. and result in harder work of
preparation. 1 anticipate that, if we
! are ordered to the joint camp, it will
! be an easy matter to secure volun-
teers enough for two or more COM
panies. All expenses are met by the
| government and the men would have
an excellent opportunity of seeing the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at a
minimum cost"

Beaufort, S. c., Aug. 7.-Savannah
Morning News. The article upon the
Savannah automobilist's fast driving
in Beaufort extracted by your paper
from the Charleston News and Cour-
iers correspondent, and which was
given prominence in your issue of yes
terday, might have been construed as
a severe reflection upon the driver of
the machine at the time in question
The correspondent has been assured
that the automobilist referred to, was
not at undue speed nor, to blame,
upon the occasion of the killing of the
dog or of the running away of the
horses, and as the gentleman referred
to as the owner of the machine, is
we'll thought of here and quite popu-
lar a modification of the account upon
the representation of several disinter-
ested citizens, might not be out of
order.
The article from this correspondent
was intended more as a general hom-
lily upon reckless automobile driving
in other places, when human life is
not only endangered, but sacrificed
than as a reflection upon the highly
esteemed gentleman, who, we are as
sured is not only of a kindly nature.
but a very careful chauffeur Perhaps
if we were more accustomed in this
quite little village to see automobiles
upon the streets our sensibilittes might
not be so excited as to cause structures.
