Mr.. Myers was a candidate for
Governor before the convention that
nominated Gov. W. S. Jennings. He
has also been a candidate for con-

Tor the successor of Judge Swayne,
the DuVal county attorneys feel that

Man From Georgia.

One rumor, which could not be
traced to its source yesterday, was
current to the effect that FlOridian
would not be chosen, but that a new
judge would be sent down from GeOr-
gia.
Those who were in more or less
position to know stated that the
Georgia Republicans would probably
make some move in the matter and
that, with the exceptionally cordial
relations that now exist between
President Roosevelt and prominent
Georgians of both parties, a deter
mined fight on their part might win
out.
As yet, however, nothing definite
has been learned. The movement to
secure the position for Mr.. Myers has
been started by his friends and adj
mirers here, and is being pushed as
rapidly as can be done. Working in
his behalf are some of the leaders in
legal circles here, and the distln-
guished Tallahasseean will rally to
his support. especially should he
openly declare himself for the posi-

HIS WATER BILL JUMPED.
Nutley Man Complains to Council About
His Erratic Meter.

John Barry, of Hillside avenue, Nutley,
complained to the Nutley Town Council
Wednesday night about his water bill,
amounting to $11.90 for the quarter ending
November 1; claiming that for the last
two years his water bill averaged only
about $3.50 per quarter. The water clerk,
Newton Woodruff, stated he had tested the
meter and found it registered correctly.
This was disputed by Mr.. Barry, and ex-
Councilman Lester Kierstead. Mr.. Kier-
stead said his house was as large as Mr..
Barry's, and that his water bill only
amounted to SO. The matter was referred
to the water committee for investigation.
The designations of First. Assistant Chief
Wright Suttcliffe, of the Nutley Fire De-
partment, and James Hemisly, both Of
Avondale Hose Company. were accepted.
Councilman Halsey, chairman of the fire
committee, submitted a report from e. t,
Humphrey, secretary of the Fire Depart
ment, showing the necessity of a fire
alarm box being placed at North road and
Satterthwaite avenue, and also the neces-
sity of an additional fire alarm wire from
the power house to the bell tower, as an
auxiliary in case OF a break in the present
fire alarm service wires. The matter was
referred back to the fire mmitt with
power to act.

KILLS A RABBIT WITH
GOLF BALL BY CHANCE
Donald A. wyokof's Accidental Shot
Enabled Rufus Brock to Get His
Thanksgiving Game.

When Rufus Brock, n negro. of Church
street. South Orange, went to hunt game
for his Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, the
bird of ill-omen perched upon his gun
barrel and he shot nothing, but, neverthe-
less, he came home with his Thanksgiving
dinner in the shape Of a fine fat rabbit
So that his tramp all morning was to some
avail, only his wife does not believe the
story Of how he got the rabbit.
You lazy Rufus, you never did know
hunting nohow. Lar Is no bullet holes IN
dis va rabbit!' said his wife, when he laid
the game on the table. You JUS done
bought this and stole the money
Rufus declared that he did hunt the rab-
bit, but admitted that he did not kill 1t.
~ done hunted him all morning, known
l must get him, cause l had my rabbit 8
foot with me. I blazed at him ten times
and said come eleven. just as l had taken
ma last shell out OBJ the gun.
The rabbit sat on his launches near a
bush en- the South Orange Field Club goIf
links. l was bound to shoot him dis time
and rubbed my rabbits foot on the barrel
of the gun. 1 thought the rabbits foot
had charmed him and ran up to the rabbit
when somebody hollers: Hey, you Niger,
leave that golf ball therel' l looked up and
there was a golfer coming toward me over
the hill and l says: Il don't want your
golf ball. l want dis rabbit Great Scott,
said the man, That last ball drove killed
the rabbit
THAT was the first I knows how tbs
rabbit was killed.
The golf ball which the man had driver
had hit the rabbit in the head. The golfer
who was Donald A. Wycoff, of Morristown
gave Rufus the rabbit and fifty cents fol
having chased the rabbit into a position
which enabled him to make such an ac'
! cidental crack shot in furnishing such Il
good story to tell his friends.
