GEORGIA SOUTH sRN's CHARTER.
The Question as to It's Validity Raised
in the Interest OF Delay.

The Question as to It's Validity Raised
in the Interest OF Delay.
MACON, GA, Dec. GA question of the
validity of the charter of the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad has been
raised. Il seems that shortly before the
charter for the railroad was issued the legis-
lature passed law that all railroad ohar-
ters should be issued by the governor, SEQ
rotary OF state and controller general. The
application was filed when charters were
obtained directly from the legislature, but
five days after the passage OF the law. which
transferred the power to the governor, SEQ
retary Of state and controller general, the
legislature issued the charter to the Georgia,
Southern and Florida railroad. Could they
do this and legallyi is the question
that has arisen and has proved a
bombshell 10 the parties litigant. Yester-
day S25,0 900 worth of Georgia Southern and
Florida bonds were sold in Macon, the price
paid being ". They were purchased by
parties In New York and their sale was In
fluenced by the possibility Of the proposed
sale of the road hanging fire, which would
compel the holder to wait an Indefinite
period for the money invested. 1t is a
fight between the construction company
and the bondholders simply to delay the
sale OF the road. which. II it takes place, will
take nearly all the assets OF the construction n
company. The Georgia Southern is bonded
for nearly $4,000 900.

TAX BILL OF THE STATE.
THE HOUSE FIXES TIE RATR AT
az MILLS.

A Reduction of 23-1oo as Compared
With the Present Rate-An Effort to
Increase the State Liquor License
From 500 to $500 Decentralization
No Longer Punishable by Death.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 9.-The general tax
bill passed the House to-day. Under its
provisions the tax rate for next year will bs
3 lilo mills. This is reduction of 23-l00
During the consideration of the bill Mr..
Fleming OF Richmond offered an amend
ment striking out the prohibitive CLAUSE
preventing counties aud municipalities from
imposing an additional tax upon lawyers
and doctors besides that imposed by the
state. He said be offered the Amendments
at the request Of the cities OF Augusta,
Savannah, Macon, Rome and other places.
Mr.. Guerard Of Chatham supported the
amendment, but Mr.. Doolan of Chatham
defeated 1t by using the powerful weapon OF
ridicule. His amendment to Mr.. Fleming's
amendment provided that while the state
was IN the tax business, every body working
for a living, no matter in what calling,
either professional, mechanical or labor, be
held liable to city and county tax. The
members laughed heartily at his point aud

down.
An effort was also made to increase ths
liquor tax from 500 to $500 per year. Mr..
Wilson Of Ware was the author of the
amendment.
Mr.. Hopkins of DarIen went for the
amendment in vigorous style. He said he
believed the liquor trade was under bur-
dens enough already and he was opposed TO
fanaticsl legislation against one class OF cit-
liens simply because some people could not
control their appetites or we're against ths
trade from bigotry and prejudice.
MessrA Osborne and Doolan Of Chatham
also fought the amendment, and 10 was
overwhelmingly defeated. So the liquor
licenses will still remain at 800 per annum
for two years at least.
The penal code was revised to-day. Arson
is no longer a capital offense In Georgia
Many crimes which heretofore we're fol.
onious, have been changed TO misdemeanors
and judges are given power in certain cases
TO punish certain felonies under the misde-
meanor section OF the code.

ago he had advocated the passage OF the
