With the disbandment of the Fourth
Regiment, to which the Americus
Light Infantry Is attached as Com
pany L, that command Is to become
part of a batallton, and In this way, It
Is understood, the military organiza
tion will be maintained.
The disbandment of the Regiment,
It Is hoped, will be temporary only.
Owing to the requirements of the
Dick bill that each regiment shall
have twelve full companies, there
are not enough companies in the state
to fill up £ll the regiments.
It Is understood that the plans of
the state military authorities are to
fill the vacancies In the First, Second
and Fifth regiments with tho com
panies of the Third regiment.
This will necessitate the disband
ment- of the Third regiment, and
will leave the seven companies of
the Fourth regiment, which Is uot
enough, by five companies to meet
the requirement for a third company.

The nomination ,of Judge A. L.

and not a few congratulatory tel
egram* were sent him yesterday.
It is believed that the entire Miller
ticket of aldermen was elected, thus
has known In some time. Tho oppo
sition ticket had, to a very great
1 extent, the support of the administra
tion, many of whom had for years
held office continuously and woro
foes to be reckoned with. '
When the result-was known Judge
Miller addressed an enthusiastic au
dience, at the auditorium.
He said he wished to congratulate
the people on their victory, it bolng
no personal victory.
It meant that the real people had
decided to take the good old town In
their own hands. It was tho people's
fight, I10 said, against tho forces of
evil that ought to have been driven
out of that community.
He wished to repeat what he had
said two years ago that he did not
seek the office then, nor was It
sought, now, Mr any personal emolu
ment, but tbe highest public duty that
could bo imposed on any man in Ma-
c >n.
