CAPTAIN FORT AS
MAJOR FOR DRILL
IN CAMP HARRIS

CAMP HARRIS, Macon, Ca, Aug. A..
CAPT. James A. Fort, of the Americus
Light Infantry, acted as major of the
Third battalion of the Second yester-
day, with Lieut.. Armstrong of the AL
Dany company, as his adjutant and
drilled the battalion at the afternoon
period. Major Wilder and Lieut.. Hor-
ton watched the proceeding.
Officers of the Georgia brigade are
experiencing this week the most trying
work of their military experience in
the preparation of the various returns
and reports which must be made to the
government following the muster-in Of
tie troops.
With the muster rolls, pay rolls,
quarterly, monthly and field returns
falling on the same date, officers of
the various companies and headquar-
ters have been fairly swamped with
work. There are supposed to be no er-
rors in military work and seldom are
there any by the time the work reaches
its final approval, so a slight error IN
the method of preparing a muster roll
sends the entire roll back for correc-
tion. Correction usually means the
preparation of new set of rolls, and
since the rolls are hand written in
triplicate and contain the name, de-
scription and brief history of each
man in the company, correction
means two or three days work.
The Georgia national guard is hav-
ing now, for the first time in its his
tory, the opportunity actually to as
semble itself into a systematized and
soldierly organization. There are hum
dreds Of little things in the way of reg
ulations and Office records which have
always seemed unnecessary to guards
men, because they have never had the
occasion to use them. They are using
them now, and many a worthless"
document filed away in the company
records has proven the keystone to
some important situation. Mexico, as
a problem, has become secondary to
some of the rolls and returns called
for by the government
Four carloads of underwear, shoes,
slickers and medical supplies came by
express to Camp Harris from Philadel-
phia yesterday afternoon. The equip
ment will be issued by the mastering
officers as soon as acquisitions are
made. acquisitions were made yester-
day afternoon by the mastering officer
for equipment for the machine gun

Cat Howts, Officer
Arrests Male Singer

Although threatened by a shower
of stones that were thrown by care
less youth, Franklin street cat had
it's revenge last night when she
mewed so loudly that Constable Otto
Stahl's attention was attracted and
he arrested Franklin Male, IL, of
broadway, Bayonne.
Male was walking along Bergen
line avenue with two girls, evidently
enjoying himself. Constable Stahl
noticed that he and his friends were
noisily singing and he watched them.
Suddenly, the cat tempted fate by
flirting with Male. AS the cat fled
from the rocks, it mewed so that the
constable turned back to see what
was the matter.-Hudson Dispatch.

an explanation of the above news

Building Code Held up
The passage of the Building Code
was again held up. Councilman Cohn
asked that it be withdrawn, as he had
a substitute code embodying the
changes suggested at previous
meeting. When the new code was
read, the title was found to be in
correct and it was turned over to At
torney Agnew for revision and rein
PRODUCTION at a recess session next
Monday night.
Councilman Flood spoke of the
drowning of the two Booth chill
dren in the Thiel quarry pond
and asked what wss going to be
done to prevent similar calamities. =.
Suggestions were made in num-
bers, such as building a six foot
fence about the pond, draining it
by siphon pipes, and arresting the
owners for criminal negligence. At
torney Agnew said that the actual
ownership of the property was in
volved in litigation, but that court
proceedings instituted by the borough
might locate him. The matter was
finally turned over to the Board of
Health with the request that it COM
municate with Attorney Agnew.
George Nagel of that body was pres
ent and said it was matter that re-
quired the councils action. The Health
Board has already had the matter in
hand for sometime, but has been I'M
able to do anything. Citizens who
are greatly wrought up over Satur-
days accident were heard to say after
the meeting that they would force
action, if the authorities kept shifting
responsibility from one to the other.

Police to Get $50 Monthly

After many delays, the petition Of
the borough patrolmen for an in
crease in pay, was acted on by the
Cliffside mayor and council on Mon
day night. On and after tomorrow,
the guardians of law and order, will
receive 500 month instead of $85
as heretofore. Councilman Flood
was the only member to object; it
was his contention that grading
scale of increase should be adopted,
so that man in the service three,
four or five years, would receive more
salary than new recruit to the
ranks. Others contended that man
in the service many years, worked no
harder nor performed more duties
than one on the force only year.
Mr.. Naedler stated that the best man
on the force to-day was a new man,
and that Floods plan would recognize
his worth by paying him lower
salary than the others received.
Knox Avenue Sidewalks
The Bergen Contracting Co. was
awarded the contracts for laying a
concrete sidewalk, curb and cutters
on both sides of Knox avenue from
the cliff to Anderson avenue. Both
this company and the Standard Con-
struction Co. bid $3,6496S on the
sidewalk Improvement, but as the
local company had already been
awarded the curb and gutter contract
it was thought best to give it the
sidewalk award and avoid the con-
fusion of having two different con-
tractors working side by side on the
same street.
The bids on the curb and gutter
were: Coppollett Bros. $5,967; Edward
English $5,328.60; Bergen Contract
ing Co. $5,091.15. The three other
bidders for the sidewalk were: Ed
ward English $3,S5244; Coppoletta
Bros. $3,852.44 and Standard Con-
struction Co. $4,257.96. The success

Man Wants Rooster
For Unduly Growing

"There is one thing" said promi-
nent Palisadian this week, 81 would
like to see happen"
whats that?" he was asked.
"a darned nuisance Of an early
rising rooster that disturbs my morn
ing slumbers just when l am putting
in my beauty sleep. Say, but that
rooster is a hummer. He must be a
bantam, else his growing would not
be so shrill and piercing. My, that
rooster would wake the dead"
"Then you don't like ROSTERS ?" was
suggested.
1.-The only way l could tolerate a
rooster would be to parboil him. This
one in particular generally gives
three ripping crows close together,
then submits his case to the jury, as
it were. l wish he could hear what
l have to say some mornings"
"Does he make you swear?"
"Swear? Why, man, that rooster
would make an angel sin. Yes,
swear, and swear like samheck at
that"
Rooster owners take notice.

Whale Of A Shot For VIM. Mackay
In Beating Randolph Perkins For
State Senate Republican Nomination
Against County Machine and Lots of Ready Cash, Himself
Struggling Young Lapyer Mackay Wins BY Small Majority
of 2OO and is the Real Lion of the Campaign
ALL EFFORTS TO sTIFLE HIM FAIL.

The success of William B. Mackay,
ir., in the primary election was the
star event of the campaign. He ran
for the State Senate nomination as
Republican against Randolph
Perkins, member of the "Old Guard"
of Bergen, and one OF the most astute
politicians in New Jersey, and one
of the ablest men. Perkins had the
benefit of the machine" to back
him, and is reported to have spent
$4,000 in the fight. Who's money,
is not stated. This may not be true,
but there was lot of money spent
to put Mackay out. Several times
thew had him beaten, so they said,
and all through the campaign the re-
port went out that Mackay was
joke. -
But he was mighty serious joke
He went whirling through the county
like a whirlwind. Wherever he ap-
reared he Caught the crowd" lie
had the punch and he swung the axe.
Those who heard single Mackay
speech didn't listen to him a minute
before concluding he was 1--we WIRE,
and it sparkled and sizzled and
blazed wherever he went. 1t carried
current of thought and Illuminated
the public mind on the issues SO clear
ly that everybody could see and I'M
derstand.
"A very young man." said Enrlco
Franchi, his manager from Fort Lee
"for such signal triumph. we
worked hard for Mr.. Mackay, and ne
won on his merits. 1t was marc
fight, but l feel rejoiced that we put
it over. 1t was square deal and an
open fight. In view of the man we
had to contest against, the conquest
Il all the sweeter. tReally, the
Mackay victory is supreme. Yes, l
am all in, but we won."
Mr.. Franchi burnt up the Bergen
roads in his big Lozier, and it was
no uncommon thing for him and his
helpers to roll into Fort Lee any
where from two to four a. m. They
went to the furthermost lanes OF the
county, and hot-footed it everywhere
That Mr.. Franchi really won Mr..
Mackay's fight as a secondary aid to
the candidates own vehement, though
good-humored campaign is generally
recognized.
