men whom they may favor in their dis
tricts to service as supervisors of the next
census. These positions of supervisors pay
81 500 and an additional 81 for each 1000
names enumerated in each district and
are therefore looked upon as plums.
In Nebraska peculiar condition exists,
the house membership being equally di-

may recommend as supervisors of census

mated by Senators Burkett and Brown and
their suggestions will receive recognition
at the hands of President Taft. or course
as the census bill has not yet been enacted
into law, Nebraskans are not pressed for
time in making selections for supervisors,
but nevertheless there is abundant evidence
already on record in the letter files of the

MORE SOLDIERS
NOW CAMPING
ON ST. SIMON
The SECOND GEORGIA REGIMENT
ARRIVED SUNDAY WITH FOUR
HUNDRED MEN.
Soldiers Had Some Little Difficulty in
Unloading Their Baggage From
I'shter-Real Camp Life Started
Yesterday Morning.

Ihe Second regiment national
guard of Georgia, arrived in Bruns-
Wick Sunday morning at $40 o'clock.
after delay of two or three hours
OUT near the four mile crossing oc-
casloned by some misunderstanding
between the Southern and the Coast
Line, The soldiers, while in the
woods, made coffee and had a light
breakfast and when they arrived in
tae city they were ready to proceed
TO st. Simon, where they go for a
weeks encampment.
The steamer Attaquin and the
-Hessie were both kept in waiting. as
was the steamer Egmont, with large
lighter which was used to tow the
baggage of the soldiers to st. ST.
mon.
How They Unloaded.
1t was an amusing sight to watch
the soldiers unload their luggage at
the island. The large lighter was
carried as close in on the beach as
possible by the Egmont and then a
hundred men while swinging to a
rope, pulled the lighter as far as it
was possible. Still, it was ten or
twelve feet from shore and in two or
three feet of water. A half dozen
drays were in waiting, and it was
decided to unload at once and not
wait until the tide had dropped, leav-
he oh
While a majority of the members
of the regiment stood on the beach
looking on tie others, assisted by
the dray drivers, unloaded. Before
the task had progressed very far a
half dozen of the soldiers had fallen
overheard, and forgetting the work
that awaited them engaged in water
battles, while the others stood on
the 3each and on the lighter enjoying
the amusement
The drays would, invariably, stall
as they started off loaded While the
wagon was being loaded the wheels
would sinh into the beach and then
when ready to go the horses, no
doubt, thought the wagon anchored,
as they could not move it. Men in
bathing suits would rush to the res
cue and finally, after working four
A. five hours, all of the baggage was
moved to the camp ground.
Camp Life Begins.
It was late in the afternoon before
everything was settled and real camp
life begun, but yesterday everything
was working as if the soldiers had
been on the island for several days,
and the encampment promises to be
a very successful one.
Colonel Harris is in command and
he seems pleased with the camp site.
Today the first visit will be made to
the new target range and one of the
battalions will enjoy target prac-
tice.
