Thirty First Michigan Already In
cIudeS "a Number of GeOrgians.
The Thirty-first Michigan Regiment got
itself as comfortable as it could yesterday,
considering the inclemency of the weather.
The camping ground was damp of course,
and the day was a thoroughly unpleasant
one. The Michigan men are looking for
ward with pleasure to a taste of real
Georgia weather when the sun shines and
the air is balmy.
Col. Gardener, who is recovering from
an attack of pneumonia, is stopping at
the De Soto. his doctor having advised
against his exposing himself to camp life
at this time. Lieut.. Col Fred Shubel is
in charge out at camp.
There are over thirty Georgians in the
regiment, and il is the hope of Col. Car
dener to largely increase this number lie
fore they leave Savannah. The regiment
is short probably two hundred men and it
is desired to recruit il up during the week
or two it Is in camp here AT one time.
it is stated. there were number of the
First Georgia men who contemplated
joining this regiment when the mastering
out of the First was in contemplation. but
the subsequent tank or a union OF the First

M'DERMOTTes EIGHT VOTES.
Chief of Police Had One or Two to
spare.

Chief of Police Had One or Two to
spare.
The vote for chief of police
was the first where there were op-
posing candidates. There was only one
ballot, and when Chief McDermotts re-
election was announced there was
whoop, which showed that his friends
were there. Neither the chief himself nor
Mr.. Haines were at the meeting, or at
least. they We're not inside the enclosure
After Marshal Power had collected the
ballots. they were passed to Mayor Medium
to be read. George S Haines' was first
called out, and then the votes kept coming
until McDermott had received and
Haines 4. In this contest, as in that for
superintendent of the water works, the
same alderman passed in a blank ballot
A number of those present went 10 guess
ing as to who was the non-vOtng alder
man, and in each instance, the same man
was mentioned. Owing to the fact that
Chief McDermott holds a strong political
hand, il was known that the result of his
candidacy would have more or less effect
in the coming municipal fight asld might
have had much TO do with the side he sup
ports in the coming municipal fight. 1t is
rumored there may be an interesting state
of affairs after all, which was started by
reason of the fact that many of those
known to always pull with Chief McDer-
mott, have gone slightly astray. Echoes
OF opposition have already been reported
from the First and Fourth districts, and 4
remains 10 be seen whether all the success
fun candidates win join in movement to
moisten the feathers of those who are
turning stones in an effort to pave the
way for another candidate. If the vote
for chief of police had gone differently,
1t is said the Irish vote might have been
divided to some extent but no one ven
tured an opinion whether what did happen
will solidify il.
owen F. Reilly was the only applicant
for assistant chief of police, and it was
moved that the Mayor cast the vote of
the board for him. There was some talk
of opposition to Lieut.. Reilly few weeks
ago. but il was realized he had made a
reputation with the aldermen, and that
opposition to him would be like casting
beans against an iron-clad His reputa-
ton as a gallant, faithful, conscientious

result of each contest was announced. was
enough 20 indicate conclusively tnat the
crowd was 10 accord with the proceedings.
Besides the aldermen behind the railing
were number Of city Office holders and
spectators. Things were at pretty high
tension when Mayor Medrm announced
the order of business. and at the same
time. called attention to the fact number
of credentials mad been fled with apph-
cations which he desired 10 know whether
the board wanted read in connection with
the applications. Alderman Thomas
thought it proper 20 have the letters read,
bat Alderman Guckenhemer and others
seemed to. think that inasmuch as most of
the aldermen had been approached by the
various candidates. they were doubtless
We'll acquainted with the contents of the
letters, and that reading them would mere
ly consume time unnecessarily.
Attention WAS called at the outset TO the
fact that there was only one applicant for
many OF the Offices 70 be filed, and as
a means of saving time, a motion was
offered and adopted that the Mayor in
these eases cast the vote for the board.
As this Jeff everything in readiness 20 be

Council Bailey to read the first appAca-
ton, which was the one filed by himself
for reelection to ms Old position Nj.
Bailey mOdestly received the compliment

meeting OF many congratulations from his
friends The manner in which he has con
Quoted the affairs of his Office has not
only been satisfactory 10 the aldermen,
who are Interested in having a sknlful
and accommodating clerk, but to the gen

courteous reception on business dealings
with the office. Mr.. Bailey has the adj
vantage of an excellent corps Of assist
ants, who have greatly aided him in the
proper conduct of the affairs of his office.
City Treasurer Hardee and City Marshal
John Power were put through in quick
time, the Mayor casting the vote for the
Council. They are two of the oldest off,
Gals in the city exchange, and have made
records for efficiency which are well
known. 1t has been the settled opinion
since the agitation over the election be-
gan that both these officials would be re-
elected without opposition.

THEIR JANUARY MEETING.
County Commissioners to Pass ON
Big Bills To-day.

us bAAAH
The County Commissioners will hold
their first meeting Of the year to-day. FL
nancisl matters will probably occupy the
attention of the board in the main.
The committee on account VIII report
with its approval bills for payment
amounting to about $4,000. The chief item
Of this list Is $13, 600 for the Board of Edu-
cation. The jury lists FOR the Superior
Court amount 90 $jSs and of the City Court
to &74. Solicitor General Osborne's bills
of 81, 900 for insolvent costs for the present
year Is also on the list. The Jaw allows
the solicitor general $500 insolvent costs
per annum for each court Heretofore
the $500 allowed Tor the City Court costs
have been paid by the city, but this ex-
pense now devolves upon the county with
all other expenses Of the city Court
The county's lunacy bill last month was
1921. This includes the expense Of lunacy
jury trials and sending the parties con-
victed at these trials to the stale santa
rum at Milledgeville in charge of a com
petent person. Chatham county is prob
ably put to a larger expense on this score
than any other county in the state. This
is said to be due to the fact that adjoin-
ing counties in Georgia and South Caro-
lima have a way of unloading their luna
ties on Chatham.
The question of an appropriation to the
Savannah Charitable Association may be
brought before the board. The county
expends annually for charitable purposes
the sum of 5000, of which 5000 is appro-
priated to the hospitals and homes Of the
city and $1,000 is held for general distri-
button. As the county has a charity sys-
TEN of its own some doubt is expressed as
to whether it win look with favor upon
any request to bestow its charity else
where. It is objected that the county
charity fund is distributed without extra
charge while the charitable association
finds it necessary to pay an agent to dis
pense its charity.
The request of the Board of Education
that the county place at its disposal so
900 of this years appropriation in order
that the board may pay, notes now out
standing and have a balance on hand
which will enable it TO save interest and
discounts during the year, viii be brought
before the board. As the county, now
has cash available the request may be
granted, but member of the board said
yesterday that he did not think the mat
ter would be passed upon to-day, as it
would be probable that the meeting would
not take up anything but routine business.
