A bill providing for the state to pay
for the transportation Of INDECENT Con
federate veterans from their homes to
the Soldiers home in Atlanta, may be
introduced at the forthcoming session
Of the general assembly.
Capt. w. H. (Tip) Harrison, secre-
tary to the board Of trustees of the
home, stated that many of the old vet
Grams who sought admission to the
home were too poor in this worlds
goods to pay their way to Atlanta,
even after their applications had been
favorably passed upon.
An instance Of this kind came to
Captain Harrison's attention in the
application for admission to the home
by John Channel, a seventy 1ve-year-
| old and bed-ridden veteran Of Coffee
county Mr.. Channel inquiries if the
home will not furnish transportation
to Atlanta for himself and attendant.
Captain Harrison had to advise him
that there was no appropriation for
this purpose and that his friends
would have to see that he got to the
home.
MANY Of the old veterans are indi-
gent and infrm," said Captain Harri-
son. There are now forty-one of
them in the hospital at the home"

Militia Of Georgia May Mobilize.
Having already received orders from
the headquarters of the first division
of the United States army, at GovS
ernor's Island, N. ", directing him to
find a site for the mobilization Of
troops and make the necessary ar
rangements to have such a site pre-
parted for the purpose of encampment,
Adjutant General Nash is awaiting
further orders, which may call for
having the mobilization site prepared
and the actual calling out of the Ma
tional Guard Of Georgia.
While there has yet been no call for
volunteers or call for the National
Guard, these preparatory orders ans
taken as significant, and the men,
bers of the National Guard of Geor-
gta are anxiously awaiting develop
ments. 1t is understood that orders
similar to those received by Adjutang
General Nash have been received by
the adjutant generals Of other states.
The orders were receivd by Adju-
tant General Nash and read as follows:
Governors Island, N. Y-Adju.
tant General: You will immediatel
find site .obtainable for mobilization
camp and find party able to furnish
labor and material to pipe camp
grounds for water. See about fueA
Make no arrangements until further
orders. Wire results. (Signed)

Macon Wants State Camp.
Inagmuch as Macon has rather
strong backing from Adjutant General
Nash it is likely that point viii be
finally selected by the commander OF
the department Of the east for mobi-
liking Georgia troops for Mexican
service.
It is believed very strongly there
that conditions are rapidly arising in
Mexico which viii cause general
call for services in a short time from
the volunteer forces.
Therefore, a central point for bring
ing the troops together is desirable
for many reasons
