Arnier to Lose His Decoration in Georgia Drill Scandal
As a special report from Macon Georgia on January 6 the Military Committee revoked HL Zanter Lanier s gold medal awarded for best drilled enlisted man at the Georgia state fair. Though Lanier claimed honorary Columbus company membership the committee ruled he was not a regular member and ordered the return of the medal. Sergeant Cater of the Macon Volunteers may receive the prize if Lanier s status was improper. The matter drew no public uproar among officers and remains unsettled pending formal actions in Georgia military regulations.
