CITADEL CADETS MAY GO TO JACKSONVILLE Annual Encampment Win Probably be Heid There Next Spring. The Citar* M, Charleston, S. C., Oct 17. (Spacial.)- While no official an nouncements have been made it is to be believed that the annual encamp ment of the Citadel Cadets will be held in Florida next April. Last week Col. Hon ', superintendent of the Cita del, attended the shooting tournament held at Black Point, near Jacksonville, and while there he inspected Gie camp grounds and target ranges. As yet he has not given out any state ment regarding the probability of the encampment being held there but according to a Jackson 114(3 paper, I be expressed himself as much pleased with the appearance of the military reservation. A definite decision will probably be made when the Board of Visitors meet in December. The Florida Times-Union comments upon the matter as follows: "The coming of the cadet corps will be an event of much social interest, and will be looked forward to with much pleasure by the people of Jack sonville. The encampment will cove: a period of about two weeks and the exercises will cover close and extend ed order drillls, combat exercises, field engineering and target practice. A fea ture of the cadet military institution is the garrison work, and aiso there will be daily parades and guard mountings, and many other interest I ing ceremonies." The encampment last year was held in Orangeburg and the pleasant days spent there will always ne remember ed by the entire student body. Many social events were given.In honor of the cadets and the hospitality shown them by the entire city cannot be praised ts? highly. The time packed off quickly and as the "Citadel spe cial", pulled out of the "city on the Edisto" it could be noticed that tue happy and smiling countenances i which .had characterized .the "fair sex" during the entire week seemed to have been displaced by a sad and melancholy look. The same may be ; said of the cadets and the ' principal j conversation on the train was about |the "Girl I Left Behind me." George W*. Clements, 3t? Dr. Hall's Appointments.'
