JONES COUNTY CITIZENS DON'T
LIKE OUR JUNIOR SENATOR

UP THERE.

GRAY, Ga, Oct. Senator Thos
" Hardwick, of Georgia, was espec
tally singled out by the grand jury of
Jones county in their general present
ments, submitted to Superior court
yesterday, and condemned for his at
titude towards the administration. Ut
terances against the government were
condemned and the junior senator
from Georgia particularly mentioned
as not representing the views of Jones
county nor the unseltish spirit of the
state of Georgia,
The grand iurys reference to Sena-
tor Hardwick was contained in the fol-
living general presentments:
"lu view of the fact that our coun
Try is now engaged in war with az
lnscrUpulous enemy, and that our
ycm.g men and the wealth of the
country are eiyer Willingly to win this

J. r. Van Buren,, of Griswold, was
foreman of the grand jury Some Of
the members of the grand jury for

Sentiment in this county now is o.
such a nature that it is not believed
that it would be safe for Senator
Hardwick to enter the county for any
purpose whatso ever He is regarded
il the same light as Jones county pa
triots regard Germans. and whenever
his name is mentioned it brings forth
much criticism. none of mild ma

SUBMARINE NOR THE TORPEDO
WAS SEEN.

WASHINGTON d. c., Oct. 20
More details of the disaster resulting
from a German submarines first sue
cessful attack against an American
vessel in war service are anxiously
awaited here. Late today officials hao
little more news than they had last
night when it was announced that the
transport Antilles had been sent t o
the bottom by a well-directed TORPEDO
striking her amidships, sending her to
the bottom within few minutes with
a loss of about seventy lives.
There were no reports to indicate
that anyone saw the submarine,
which presumably lurked beneath the
surface to escape the patrol ships,
discharged a torpedo while sub
merged. and slipped away while the
patrols were doing rescue work.
The casualty list cannot be com
pleted until the survivors are checked
with the muster roll at the French
nert from which the Antilles sailed.
All of the army and navy officers
aboard and the ships master We're
among the 167 survivors. The MISS

civilian engineers, some enlisted men
of the navy and II and SO soldiers
returning home for various reasons,
Neither the submarine nor the TORPEDO
was seen and the transport, hit
souarely amidship, sank in five min-
utes.
All the navay officers and officers or
the army who were on board the ship
at the time were saved, as were the
officers of the ship, with the exception
of the following:
Walker, third engineer officer;
- Boyle, junior engineer officer and

apparently resented all that has been
urged upon him to this end. And
even after his now well-known "Group
Loyalty" sermon, with continued liz
difference to public opinion-to AM
erican sentiment-he brought his de-
fiance right up to the eve of the cleo
ton at which his own congregation
spoke with most decided emphasis
against him.
Now, since Mr.. Bradshaw cannot
be converted to American ideals; since
he simply will not see the war through
American spectacles-and since the
people have spoken-he should now
see his way to the only course open
to an honest man of pride and prin-
ciple. If he fails to embrace the op-
portunity we can only conclude that
he is by instinct not possessed OF
either.
So far as 'The Palisadian" is con-
cerned, it is thankful that the people
have been able to act on the evidence
and it will now turn its attention to
live subjects, content in the thought
that in the church case, as in all

The election for Trustees of the
Palisade Union Church last Tuesday
night was in the nature of a rebuke to
those members of the congregation
and of the community who were Gag
er to assert that the Rev. Marion j.
Bradshaw was enough American in
his avowals to suit them and that he
represents also the majority senti-
ment of Palisads.
There were two tickets in the field
and the Bradshaw side yielded to SUI
perior numbers as shown in the final
count. The minister's friends used
all of the articles of partisan politics
in their endeavors to secure an ex-
preston from the supporters of the
church, which may be said, also, of
the opposing side. Both factions were
eager to win and the rivalry brought
out all the strength possible to corral.
To those who have been unable to
see, or who would not see, that the
real issue in the campaign was the
war, nothing more need be said now
than that the situation is made clear.
The whole thing should never have
taken place. The minister has resist
ed every appeal to stand up for AM

Sam Corker Resigns
As Custodian of the
County Court House

Owing to a desire on the part of
the Board of Freeholders of Bergen
county to have the custodian of the
County Court House devote all his
time to the office, Samuel j. Corker
has resigned his position in order to
give more time to his own business
in New York. There was universal
regret at losing the services of Mr.
Corker, and the Freeholders did not
hesitate to express their regret at los
ing him. Mr.. Corker has made him
self very popular with the public since
he has been in Hackensack, and has
to his credit the very faithful per-
Torrance of his duty. But with his
growing business giving any more at
tention to the Court House duties was
out of the question. Everybody
wishes Mr.. Corker the best of luck.
The Freeholders hardly evened
things up for Eastern Bergen in
letting Mr.. Corker go. He is train
ed purchasing agent, and has saved
thousands where a less experienced
man will lose the county money. Men
like Sam Corker are an asset. Too
bad they let him go.
