A Hotel for Ouitmnn.

QUITMAN, Feb. 1.-THE need OF first
class c0mmOdiOus hotel has been urging
Itself upon the people OF Gilman with
more and more force every day for sew
eral years past. During the past week,
the interest in this matter has become
more general, ana at last has caused a
determination among the leading citizens
TO erect and equip such hotel as would
be competent TO the demand. Lack OF
unanimity in plan and action has
heretofore characterized all such under
takings as dIreful failures, but the plan
now proposed seems to meet with apprO-
batlon from every quarter, and bids fair
to end in success. The plan now being
worked upon grew out Of proposition

citizens would contribute $4,000 he would
build hotel, of the best material, con-
sisting of eighty rooms with all modern
improvements attached. The amount
was promptly subscribed by the citizens,
ana the fact that Mr.. ROuntree is not
man to make idle propositions leaves no
room for speculation as TO the result. The
fact is that the building 10 now no longer

The HUFF Case.

At Macon Saturday the Recorder rem
dered the following decision In the Huff
ca e, full details of which appeared In the
NEWS a day or two ago;
'''rhe defendant, W. A. Huff. has been
summoned before this court charged with
violating the license ordinance, in that
being a real estate agent doing business
in the city OF Macon be has failed TO pay
the license or business tax OF $50 imposed
by the Mayor and Council upon each per-
son engaged in that business under the
license ordinance passed for the year
1886.
Under the act of the General Assem-
bly,, approved Aug. 2s, 1888, aud the ordi-
nance OF the Mayor and Council passed in
conformity thereto, each person failing TO
pay the license or business tax required
Of him by Feb. shall be summoned before
the Recorders Court, aud upon proof OF
these facts shall be fined m the discretion
OF the court within its Jurisdiction as pre-
scribed by law.
"In this case the defendant admits that
be Is subject 20 the pay ment OF license
or business tax, ana pr0claims bis will
lingness 10 pay the same, but contends
that the city Of Macon 10 prohibited by
law from collecting more than $4,000 per
annum as license and business tax; that
it has levied or assessed this tax at about
y25, 900, and that this defendant can only
be required 10 pay an amount which bears
the same ratio to $50 as $4,000 bears 10
$780, 600, or whatever may prove 10 be the
exact amount levied and collected.
''rhe city admits the facts as stated by
defendant, but denies that the law limits
the aggregate amount OF this tax 70 S15,-
600. The simple question then is, does the
law prohibit the city OF Macon from col
Letting more than $4,000 per annum as
license and business tax, or does IL nOtiv
The court finds in favor of the city and
says:
"Hence, the city had the right 20 re-
quire the defendant 10 pay the $50 license
tax, and he having failed 10 pay in tue
manner prescribed by law, Is adjudged
guilty OF the Onense for which he Is sum
moned before this court. The defendant
appearing 10 have been actuated not by
any Intention 20 violate the law, but sim
ply by the desire 20 ascertain the law, the
sentence OF this court is suspended until
Monday, Feb. 10, In order TO give the de-
fendant an opportunity OF paying his
license II he 80 desires"
IL Is understood that Mr.. Hut will not
pay the tax, but will give bond for his
license and oertiOrari the case 10 the SUI
periOr Court. The matter Is exciting con-
Ctderable interest In Macon.

First-That compensation be paid the

tion to the prices received for product
Second-A proper organization of the
men of every works to be made, by which
the natural leaders, the best men, will
eventually come to the front and confer
freely with the employers.
Third-Peaceful arbitration to be in
all cases resorted to for the settlement of

Fourth-No interruption ever to occur
to the operations of tho establishment,
since the decision of the arbitrator shall

II these measures were adopted by an
