TIE LIQUOR DEALERS.
They Discuss the City Tax-Letter fro
the Comptroller General.

They Discuss the City TaX-Letter from
the Comptroller General.
a special meeting oft the Liquor Dealers
Association was held last night for the
purpose of considering the license tax i'm
posed by the city for the ensuing year.
No degnite action was taken, however,
as to the tax, and it is thought that an
other special meeting will be held in a
few days.
The following letter from the COmptrol-
Ter General was received by the Ordinary
Yesterday and filed as information:
Replying to yours of the lst inst, by law
our fiscal year begins on the Isl OF January
and ends ON the 3lst of December.-l. sec.
act approved September 2Sth. 1881, section lst.
The general act Of 1882 and 1888 imposes a
tax of S25 upon all liquor dealers Tor the hscal
wears lSS}-'o4, and requires SAID dealers 10
pay the tax IN full to the Tax collectors OF
their counties at the time OF commencing 10
do business or at the beginning of the hscal
wear. BY reference to an act approved
September 18th. 1851, you Will observe
that LIQUOR dealers are also required to
register their names and places of business
with the Ordinaries of their counties on the
Isl of April. which section was amended by
an act approVed september 4, 1888. so as to
require the registration on the LIST of January
and annually thereafter. at that time, instead
OF the lsU Of April, and to pay the entire
amount OF the tax assessed against them DY
the general tax act for the fiscal year IN winch
they have registered before commencing to do
business. The payment of this tax last April
by some dealers did not, therefore give
them the privilege of doing business longer
than the 3ist of December. the end of the ifs
cal wear. To illustrate: suppose y desires
to begin the sale of liquor on the lst of Jnly,
1883, he must go to the Ordinary OF his county
and register. Then he must pay the Tax Col
lectOr SIS. which is the entire amount Of the
tax assessment against liquor dealers by the
general tax act of 1SS2 and 1888 for the fiscal
wear 1888 and 1884. and this would only give
him the right to do business until the 3lst of
December. 1888. and not to the LIST of July,
1851. In other words, when the fiscal year
expires in which the tax is paid, the right to
do business ceases until another registration
is made and the tax paid.

''PRECIOUS, kISS ME-"
The night was one Of those tender June
memories that absorbs poets and brings
melody to the artists soul.
McSweeny de Briancourt and Lulu Min
ME Mabel Larrissey leaned over the gar
den gate, forgetful of aught else but that
they were with each other, and happy in
their young and tender passions. The
CHEEKY chirp of a dyspeptic English spar
row on a neighbOring cherry bark tree
alone told of animate nature.
The delightful invitation that opens our
story was followed by a smack that
knocked the wheeling sparrow from his
perch and made him think that king
dom come had arrived by express. AS
soon as Lulu Minnie Mabel had recovered,
she remarked:
Darling, have you heard the latest~

We again announce to our many friends
and patrons that we are determined to
close out the balance of Fall and Winter
Stock which we have left at a grand sac
rifice; in fact, will sell them even at slight
loss. We do not mean to say as others,
advertise below COST and then charge
you large profit. We will give you
proof of our assertion, so that you can be
fully convinced. All we ask is for you to
give us a trial, whereby we are satisfied
we can save you at least 80 per cent. on
your purchases in Mems, Youths, Boys

this great inducement is that we are
obliged to make room for our large stock

Is 1t Fair and just ?

Editor Morning NelcS. While l am in
hearty sympathy with those who appeal
to Council, asking them not to build a
Chinese wall around the city to keep out
the commercial traveller by over taxation,
cannot but raise my voice in behalf of
our own citizens, who by the last tax
levy have had 100 per cent. added to their
special tax in taxing retail dealers $50
per annum, without reference to the
amount of business done, whether large
or small. Council did not act with that
consideration that should have been
given to so important matter.
They did not give the subject that care
that they would have done if it had been
their own business. They did not take
into consideration the fact that there are
a number of small stores in the city which
carry a stock of from 5000 to $4,000 which
cannot afford to pay a license tax of $50.
With many of them it will be hard mat
ter to raise that amount of money at one
time. Our Council in taking off the tax
on commissions and incomes must surely
think that all the interests in Savannah,
besides the real estate, is on the north side
of Bay street. / hope that at the
next meeting of Council they will remedy
this grievous wrong upon a large class of
our citizens who are trying in legitimate
way to earn livelihood for themselves.
Ihave no doubt that Council, when 1T
meets, will see how absurd it is to tax

A store on Broughton street pays $50;

to the SMALL RETAILER?

AYOUTHFUL BURGLAR.
A Thirteen Year-Old Lad Starts on a.
Cracksman's Career.

Saturday night about 80 O'Clock Mr..
Frederick KIug, a grocer on the south
west corner of Jones and Price streets,
had occasion to 90 to his safe to change
some money. Upon opening the door he
found that a pasteb0ard box in which he
was in the habit of keeping his
| silver of small denominations was
missing. He recollected that he
had been to the safe for a similar purpose
| about half an hour previous, ana thaI the
| box was then IN its place. he therefore
ouickly looked about TO see Wnere ne
! could have left the box, but tailed TO nnd
| II At this moment he discovered that a
| small iron toy bank that was kept in the
| safe was also missing, and his suspicious
| were at once aroused to the fact that he
had been robbed.
A few doors east of Price, on Jones
| street. lives a cOlOred woman who has a
| son known as Telfair Grant, quick mo-
toned little negro, supposed to be about
eighteen years of age, though his mother
| claims that he is about thirteen. Ielfalr
| has been in that neighbOrhoOd for some
| time. and was a frequent visitor to the
| store on errands. sometimes for his mother
and other people who reside in that
| vicinity. and very frequently to purchase
! drinks for himself. One day Mr.. Klug
| told the boys mother that he could
| not sell liquor to such boy,
| when his mother said: "Well, he is
my boy. You sell him all he wants; if
/ YOU do not he will 90 further from home
| and get it, and | don't want him to 90
| off, A short time before the robbery
was discovered this boy was in and out
of the store, Mr.. Klug being at supper In
/ another portion of the building, while his
] clerk was busy waiting on customers.
| The safe stands in a room of the store,
| but in front of door opening from the
| latter into the former. Across this door,
| however. there is a curtain, so that put
! few people who are in the habit OF trading
! at the store have ever seen the safe. Tel
| fair. it appears, passed through the bar
| to a vacant lot on one side of the building,
whence, it is said, he climbed through
/ window and into the room
| where the safe was, hidden from the view
/ of the clerk and others. The safe had
| been left unlocked by Mr.. Klug, SO that
| Grant had no trouble to open 1t and carry
| off whatever amount of money he could
| find there. He then disappeared for a
| few minutes, and in the meantime it was
! learned that he was freely using quite a
sum of money and that he was lnt0Xl-
Gated. The lad was traced to MyersOn's
| store. on the corner of Whitaker and
BrOughtOn streets, and thence taken be-
| fore Mr.. Klug, when he took from his pocket
| $34 80 of the stolen money. He was imme-
| diately placedsunderearre by the Ponce,
| and upon the conclusion OF the eXamlna-
| ton in the Mayors Court yesterday morn
ing was turned over to the superior Court
for Indictment and trial. The amount
| which Grant is supposed to have taken
was $50 90, and he will doubtless be in
dicted for burglary and larceny, at the
next meeting of the grand jury.
