REPORT ADJUTANT.
GENE RAJ FOSTER.
ON MOBILIZATION

The report of Adjutant General
Clifford R. Foster to Governor Tram
nell, on the mobilization of the Flor
ida National Guard on June 10, in re-
Spouse to the call for troops by Pres
ident Wilson, has recently been sent
the executive, and is published in
pamphlet form.
The adjutant general states that
upon receiving the call for one regi-
ment of infantry, the Second regi-
ment was decided upon, and the sew
eral units in that command were I'M
mediately notified to assemble. Only
ten companies and band formed the
regiment, when it assembled, two
companies had been mustered out by
orders from the war department two
weeks previous, and two vacancies
existing in the regiment before.
Orders were then issued to recruit
above peace strength, and two new
companies were Immediately formed,
Arcadia and Orlando. After all were
assembled, and the national oath adj
ministered, Is men refused to sub
scribe to the new oath. Arrangements
were made by, the quartermaster for
transporting troops and supplies to
Black Point on June 81, two days
after the orders had been issued, the
regiment, with 1,062 men and 40 Off
GERS arrived at the mobilization camp,
placing Florida among the first states
| to mobilize.
In treating the equipment of the
men in camp, Gen. Foster dwells
chiefly on the lack of shoes, but states
that an order was secured from the
governor for purchasing shoes with
state money, which would have been
done had not the orders for immediate
movement to the border been counter
manded.
The orders for movement to the
border are shown by kilograms from
the department commander, the first
of which is dated June 25, asking
that troops be sent to the border the
next day. The reply was that certain
provisions must be secured, and othel
necessary details completed before the
regiment would be ready for duty.
The second telegram urged imme
date movement to the border, ant
commanding officers replied that tn
troops would move the next day. Or
ders were then received to wait TO
further statement from the war de
partment.
Commenting on the facility of tn
mobilization in Florida, the adjutan
general said:

A VENERABLE LAWYER

The Quincy, (Ills.) Herald of
Sept goth has a pleasant notice Of
Mr. L. e. Emmons of that city
whose wife is a sister of Mrs. II. G..
Cole of Marietta. Mr.. and Mrs. EN-

Cole and have many friends here.
The Herald concludes its account
of Mr.. Emmons life in Quincy:
IL. E. Emmons, Sr., has his eight
ieth birthday tomorrow and is still
in harness. He is the Oldest prac-
ticing attorney in this county and
in fact in this part of Illinois. He
is at his office every day fully en-
gagged in the details of his work
and, since recent illness, in per-
feet good health.
mir. Emmons came to Quincy
from Marietta, Ga, in 1866, just 80
years ago last May and here he has
lived ever since. He opened law
office when he got to Quincy and
has kept it open since, fifty years
Of creditable work in the Adams
county bar. In 1876 he formed a
partnership with the late Senator
Albert Wells who died In 1896.
Since then his son, Lawrence EN-
mons, Jr., has been associated with
him in his law work.
Lawrence Emmons, Sr, is wide
ly known throughout this territory

he is so years old From all his

With the crop report just made to

PORTRAIT
FOR HON. {. h. CLAY

Tender memories and highest as
plratlons We're awakened in the
heart of Hon. Herbert Clay last Sat
urday afternoon when a surprise
was given him by party of his in
Innate friends. While he was ming
ling with the usual large crowd that
gathers in Marietta on Saturday and
being congratulated on his re-elec-
ton, these loyal friends took charge
OF the Solicitors office and when all
was ready Mr.. Clay was ushered in.
AS he entered the door from his re-
ceptlon room he was met face to
face with beautiful oil portrait of |
MS distinguished father, Hon. Alex |
ander Stevens Clay 1t was both
life size and life like and the dis
tinguished son of that illustrious
Georgian was speechless before a |
| gift which he will cherish greater |
! and greater with the coming years |
But the portrait was not all that |
those thoughtful friends had in
store for the object of their devo
ton AS soon as Mr.. Clay could
find himself Col Lindley w. Camp
stepped forward and read the fol-
| lowing beautiful sentiments:
WHEREAS, Thousands of friends
in COBB COUNTY, in the BLUE
RIDGE CIRCUIT, in the STATE OF
GEORGIA, and EVERYWHERE are
DESTROYS of congratulating HER
BERT CLAY on his recent over
whelming victory, and
WHEREAS, in the past he has
always discharged his duties in
public office in a true, honest and
fearless manner, and
WHEREAS, He is a true friend
and richly deserves the honors be-
slowed upon him in the past and
it is truthfully said:
There are those who are richer in
silver and gold,
But fortune has made him amends,
In that she has lavished on him
manifold,
A host of true-blue and tried
friends!"
RESOLVED
By the friends who are deeply
interested in his future and wish
ing to show their appreciation of
him and his friendship do hereby
present this painting of his illus
trious father,
ALEXANDER STEPHENS CLAY,
One of the Nations most beloved
and distinguished sons and may the
future career and acts of HERBERT
CLAY ever be guided and patter-
