8 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.

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."
