In the Hospital.

Friday was quite busy day in both
the field and camp hospitals In the
latter n cook employed in one of the
company mess tents nearly cut off the
forelingers of his right hand and he
was hurried over to the hospital. where
the injury was dressed. Quite a lot OF
the men seemed to have developed sore
feet Friday and they were treated at
both hospitals. The German foot pow
der provided at the hospitals appears
to be quite a panacea, for the soldiers
use it in their shoes to keep their feet
from becoming calloused, as well as
to correct such faults a. are occasioned
by long hikes.
Major Fuller. the regimental surgeon,
delivered a very instructive lecture in
the forenoon to the members of the hos
pitaI corps. One of the men from the
ambulance was selected as a subject
and placed upon q stretcher. Major
Fuller then demonstrated with all the
necessary implements of surgery the
several methods used in dressing
wounds. setting broken bones, attend
ing to sickness and rendering tempo
rary relief to men wounded in battle
or injured while in the field. The men
displayed great interest in the demon
sessed of much technical knowledge
STATIONS and doubtless became poses
sed of much technical knowledge that
will stand them in good stead in the
future, whether they have occasion TO
use such knowledge while in the Guard
or not.
It is noticeable that the enlisted men
in the corps speedily attain proficiency
in the art of dressing wounds. When
one man was brought into the hospital
Thursday suffering from cut on his
hand the orderly in charge dressed the
wound and bandaged it in very pro-
fessional manner, and when the job
was later inspected by one Of the Off

an inspection of the regiment this
morning at which Gen. Davis will be
the inspecting officer. This inspection
is the regular semi-annual ono, the

is not anticipated that the troops will
go through any further duty save that
absolutely necessary for the proper
government and maintenance Of the
camp.
The troops will leave the grounds at
about o'clock and those destined for
stations east Of Augusta will go on Il
special train as provided by the special
order covering this matter, issued some

The khaki-clad soldiers of the I'd Reg
iment worked hard Friday. To the in
terested but casual observer Of field
drilling, it does not appear that such
drills are very firing on the men, but
those who witnessed the fine Skirmish
work of the three battalions Friday af-
terroon must have been impressed with
the military skill and precision of the
men who comprise the rank and file of
the I'd Regiment.
Each battalion was in charge of the
ma iCr commanding, and the adjutant,
and these were the only officers par
ticipatiEg in the maneuvres who were
mounted. All of the drills We're under
the supervision of Capt. w. +. Ellis.
L. S. A. who directed the movements
and attacks. and who upon the cOnclu-
sion of the days work said that he
was not only very much pleased with
the fine exhibition of training given by
tho regiment as 4 whole. but also graf
flied to know that the individual en-
thusiasm and skill displayed by the
mon had been acquired with a speed

Rifle Range Inspected.

In company with Gen. Farnham.
Col. Elliott c. Dill, inspector general
OF rife practice. inspected the recently
completed State rifle range located
about one mile from the State muster
field. The party was accompanied by
the contractor who had charge of TIL"
building Of The range and also by Civil
Engineer w. Il. Getchell of Augusta.
The range was inspected at some
length ana it was found to be built
according to the specifications and af-
ter few changes have been made
which were suggested by Col. Dill, the
range will be finally turned over to
the National Guard and it will doubt
less be q much-valued addition to the
Guard equipment, especially to asrir-
ing rifle shots. Since the annual mill
taly rifle tournaments have been held
in Wakefield, Mass, the enlisted men,
as well as the commissioned officers Of
the "a Regiment, have displayed great
enthusiasm in rifle practice and it was
this enthusiasm that encouraged Col.
Dill to effect the improvements in that
branch of the Guard that he has.

Some of the friends of Lieut.. Enright,

eft it will be well to mention
that Lieut.. Enright's hoodoo luck seems

ed wrist, but he is enjoying perfect

this year, and only on one or two occs-
siOns have there been more than two
prisoners confined in the little baStile.
The policing of the camp has been done
in a great part by men detailed from
the company, whereas in former years,
graduates Of the guardhousc performed
this duty. The term policing, by the
way. has little to do with the main
