is too frequently ignored or slighted
by the miitiamen, and it is expected
OF both officers and non-commisone&
officers that they give special instruc-
ton to the men under them upon
this subject, and in no better way
can they do this than by example.
1t should be borne in mind that acts
Of military courtesy involve neither
servility or degradation, and that
the intelligent appreciation Of the
responsibilities of those who wear
the uniform can best be shown by o
careful observance OF those forms
which custom and law have fixed as
the proper relations between the va
rious grades or classes In the mill

MAD Dog Scare.

Wednesday afternoon of last week
the town was thrown into a perfect
panic by the loud report of a shot
gun. Investigation proved that
Marshal Dale had shot and killed q
dog on main street. At the time OF
the shooting the dog had all the ap-
pearances of icing mad, it having
attacked and bitten FIVE dogs in the
space of o block before it was killed.
The animal was the property Of Col
Styles.
Late Sunday afternoon Marsha
Dale was called upon to kill another
dog, the animal being the property
Of L, A, Fraleigh. From all &C.
counts this animal was also mad.
1t required several shots before the
animal was killed.
Deeming the situation OF sufficient
importance to warrant his action
Mayor Smith issued his proclsma--
ton calling upon all citizens TO keep
their dogs on their premises, and we
are glad to say that the prOclama-
ton is being observed by nearly all
of the people.

Adiutant General Foster to the Sol
der Boys.

I
campment is "for business only"
Discipline of the strictest sort is to
be maintained, and the fbold soldier
boy" who thinks he is going on
picnic will find himself mistaken.
To Capital reporter Gen. Foster
said:
at is obligatory upon all mem
bers Of the Florida State Troops to
attend the encampment," said the
General, ''and we shall look to the
officers to see:.that they do. For the
information of those who think they
are going to avoid this duty, through
some trivial excuse would be pleas.
ed to have you publish General Or.
ders No. 70, which are now being
sent out, by command Of the Gov
ernor and Commander-in- chief"
The orders are as follows, and It
would be well for every member Of
the Florida State Troops TO read
them carefullys
"The encampment Of the Florida
State Troops is a military duty which
demands of all its members faithful
discharge. The oaths OF officers and
enlisted men entail positive obliga-
tions and certain unavoidable respon-
sibilities. The encampment is inten-
ded to afford opportunity for such
military exercises and instruction as
will tend to develop to the fullest
possible degree an efficient State
military force. To this end while It
is not desired to interfere with or
curtatl the proper enjoyment and re
creation Of the soldier when off duty,
mere personal pleasure must at all
times be regarded as subservient to
that military duty Of which rigid
discipline and accomplishing loyalty
should be the distinguishing elements,
Bearing these points in mind it is
expected that during the coming en-
campment every man will faith
fully and conscientiOusly strive to
meet the responsibilities which he
has voluntarily assumed, with view
to attaining increased military eff
fiency. The equipment Of both off,
GERS and men has been restricted to
only such as will meet their actual
requirements; the arrangements for
cooking and messing; the exercises,
drills, and other camp duties have
been based upon conditions of actual
service in the field, and the value of
this instruction, to which only one
week out of each year may be devo-
ted, can only be estimated by the
aptitude with which the individual
soldier learns his lesson, and the
cheerful and loyal support which he
gives those who are charged with
his training.
"For the coming encampment the
most important pre- i ninary duty is
attendance, and it is expected that
officers will resort to every practical
BILE means to secure the fullest posi-
bic attendance Of men and their COM
panies. If the men fail to attend,
and disregard orders for the encamp-
ment, prompt disciplinary means
will be adopted. The mere tender
ing OF an excuse for non attendance
will not suffice. The excuse must
have been offered by the soldier and
accepted by the proper authority
prior to the date Of leaving for the
encampment. Tae soldier who fails
to attend, except for sufficient reas-
on, acceptable to the proper authori.
ty, will be regarded as absent with.
out leave, or in desertion, as the'cir-
cumstapces Of the case may indica:e,
and will be dealt with accordingly.
