Troops Go on Ten Mile March.
Many Weary of Camp Life
Have Simply Deserted.
The Americas soldier boys with the
Jliinl regiment at Camp Northen may
[emam there some time yet before be-
D( ;etut to Jacksonville.
\ Griflin special says the men are
l0 w (liscussiugthe probability of going
„ Florida. All confess they are at a
Joes to understand the action of the war
department. The regiment was or
dered two weeks ago to report to Gen.
Lee at Jacksonville and since that day
numerous other orders have been is-
(0 ed, which keeps things in a constant
lt ate of uncertainty.
Thursday afternoon the regiment
reut uu a ten-mile march, and most of
the men were feeling the effects of it
yesterday, and remained within their
lents, except when duty called them
aV av. This was one of the longest
marches they have yet taken. Some
few dropped out and were pat in the
amhiihiuce wagon and carried to the
camp-
The hospital seems to be well tilled
at present. Some are confined for
slight illness, while others are of a
rii.us nature and cansing uneasiness
arnoug the attendants.
Since the regiment was paid off a
large number of the men were sent to
the hospital for 'eating unwholesome
food. Quite a number of desertions
are reported to have occurred since
last Saturday. In fact, nearly every
company in the camp has had one
. more men to desert their ranks.
Dae company had ten desertions in
two days, the most of whom arc at
large.
SPLENDID CROP PEA VINE HAY
One Samter Parmer Will Harvest
1500 Bales.
The weather just now is propitious
for the harvesting of peavine hay, and
tanners are as busy with that most im
portaut work as in cotton picking.
While a large percentage of the bay
crop was destroyed recently by contin
ued rains an immense amount will be
saved notwithstanding, as the area de
voted to hay raising is much greater
this year than ever before. Mr. N. A.
Hay, who devotes much attention to
hay raising, is harvesting this week
held of mo acres planted in peas and
from which be expects to gather at
least l.fiOO hales of the finest hay, worth
easily «ne dollar per bale. The peas
were planted in Jane, after a fine oat
crop hnd been gathered, and the cost
of raising and harvesting the hay will
be nominal only.

NAMES LEFT OFF JURY LISTS.
Mr. Heyi Aiks Several Pertinent
Questions.
TiuEs-RRcoBDEn: Time brings
many changes and some we do
not understand. I have been a grand
juror for a number of years but
it Beems I am no longer fit for one in
the opinion ol onr present jury revts*
ors. What is the matter with me now?
Am I not as competent now as when
first taken in the jury box?
It cannot be intoxication. No, for
there are men on there who become in
toxicated. It cannot be for want of
edneation; no, for there are men on
there who cannot write their names.
Is it because I do not own property?
No, for there are men on there who
pay only a poll tax. Is is because I
am in debt? No, for I would pay if I
could; bnt there are some on the list
who could pay if they would. Is it
because I have been presented to the
grand jury for some alleged violation
of the law? The records speak for
themselves. Is it kecanse I am too
old? No, for there are some very old
men on the list who are physically if
not mentally infirm. I may be that
way, but it is not cansed from extreme
old age (see list). Is it for the want
of experience? No, for there are men
on there who never served a single day
on the jnry in their lives. Is it be
cause I have not been in the county
long enough? No, for there are men
on there wbo have not been in the
county nine mouths and who are not
subject to jury duty. Is it because I
am morally uufil? I will let the public
pass ou that. Well, what is the trou
ble? Now don’t understand me to
mean that all the grand jury are as
stated above. No, far from it, for as a
whole they are good men; but the
above charges are trne, nevertheless.
Now, I would like to know what is
necessary to disqualify a citizen from
being u good juror. I believe in fair
play even in the revisement of the jnry
box. Now I have no ill will against
any one of the grand jury and respect
them all as gentlemen. Bnt consisten
cy—consistency, thou art indeed a
jewel. W. B. Heyh.
LADIES HURT IN A RUNAWAY.
Thrown From a Buggy and Painfully
Injured.
Miss Floyd Williford, of Atlanta, and
Miss Murpkey, of Hamilton, who

the buggy over, throwing them vio
lently to the ground, Miss Williford
striking a tree with considerable force.
Doctors Statliam and Field responded
to a call and rendered assistance. Both
yonng ladies were unconscious for a
considerable time. No permanent in-
