ONLY TEN POPS
CIST VOTES
Members of Partv in Bibb
Have Returned to Demo
cratic Fold.
CONSOLIDATED RETURNS
As Made Up this Morning Show the
Smallest Vote Ever Cast in
this County,
Yesterday's state and county election in
Bibb county was probably the most unin
teresting and apathetic that has ever been
noted in the county.
The consolidated returns this morning
show -that the highest vote cast in the
county on the Democratic ticket was 425.
The highest Populist vote was 11. This
shows that the party is practically dead
an this county and that there is no activ
ity among them evfn when the Democrats
are at their weakest.
If the populists had had any intention of
keeping their party alive in this county
yesterday was the chief opportunity. The
Democratic registration A - a«s small and the
Democrats were not voting. But the Pop
ulists did not themselves take the trouble
•to turn out and it is said .that most of
those who have been idenified v»ih the
j*arty in 'the past yesterday voted -the
Dimocratic 'ticket.
If nothing else this was one good show
ing made by the returns for yesterday.
The amendments were carried by a big
majority in the County. Only 58 votes
were east against them. All of .she county
officials ran neck and neck. There was
little or no cutting done and the differ
ence in any case would no't amount to
more than five or six votes.
M.r. A. W. Lane, among .the representa
tives, got the highest vote, and between
him and the lowest on this delegation
•there were only five votes. The same
thing holds with the county officers.

Bv Associated Press.
Washington. Oct. C—The following state
ment was given out at the war department
today:
“The secretary cf war being questioned,
as to quartering of troops during the win
ter has had the matter under very careful
consideration and has determeiced for the
good of the service and the welfare of the
men that they should be in open camps, in
a climate where, during the winter, they
can drill and have* free open air exercise.”
"To put the troops in buildings in the
large cities in the North would in a meas
ure deprive them of the necessary drill
discipline and target practice essential for
fitting soldiers for active service in the
field. Moreover, the discipline cf troops
near small towns can he maintained very
much better and more effectually than
near large cities. The troops, therefore,
will be quartered in the middle southern"
states, where they can live in tents, as
provided by the plan of the quartermaster
general which gives stoves to each three
tents joined together, two sleeping rooms
and one sitting roam."
