Atlanta, March 16.-There will be no
encampment for state troops this year.

all hope of one, and gave a negative
reply to-day in answer to a question
as to whether there would be an en-
campment.
mo, there will be no encampment of
the troops this year." said the Gov
ernor. The state cannot pay any of
the expenses of an encampment, and
it does not appear that there will he
any appropriation from the United
States government available for the
purpose.
There is now pending in Congress
a bill to add 10000 acres more to the
government reservation at Chickamau-
ga. 1t is also presumed that mill
itary appropriation will be made by
Congress this year. When this is done
1t is proposed to have a great encamp-
ment at Chickamauga, but there is no
possibility of that before next year.
The appropriation. when made, will
not be available until July, and that
will be too late to do anything. If we
find that we can secure a part of the
appropriation after July, we may send
a regiment or two from the northern
section of the state to Waco. Ga, the
government rifle range, along with the
Regulars, but that will be the nearest
thing to an encampment that we will
have"
