Like all things earthly, and pass away,
We know we are in the right

Can we keep our armour bright.

WAS 1T LEGALP
A Question to Be Raised About the
Resolution by the Turpentine Opera

A Question to Be Raised About the
Resolution by the Turpentine Opera
tors.
At the annual meeting of the turpen-
tine operators to be held next Wednesday
it is understood the question as to the
propriety of the resolution passed by the
association at its meeting in August will
be raised. According to the bylaws of
the association it would seem that the
resolution was illegal
Article section 2 of the bylaws of the
Turpentine Operators Association says:
1t requires four-ffths vote of the general
association to pass any>law or rule which NAV
affect the financial interest OF any of the
members of the general association or sub
associations.
Under that section and article it may
be contended that the vote on the resolu-
tion passed stopping the cutting of old
boxes after Aug. 26 was not sufficient to
authorize its becoming law of the asso-
citation, and that it affected too large an
industry and too large number of men
to have been passed by so small number
of men.
If for any reason it is shown
that that article does not ap-
ply, another of the bylaws will
be brought up to show that the reso-
luton was an improper one, considering
the manner in which it was passed. The
other section on that line reads as fol.
lows:
Article 1, Section g. That any law or reso-
luton affecting the financial interests of any
member of this association shall be presented
by a sub-association to this general associa-
ton, the notice of its adoption shall be given
to all suD-associotions, after which it must be
adopted by the general association before it
becomes a law.
AS this method was not pursued with
the resolution in question there may be
some doubt about its legality under the
bylaws of the association. This resolu-
ton was adopted by the association and
declared operative without reporting it to
the sub-associations and then adopting it
again. The fact that this matter will be
brought to the attention of the association
at its meeting next week may make the
session a very lively and interesting one.
Inferences as to the result of the resolu-
tion being declared illegal can readily be

TO SHOOT 100 BIRDS.
Gun Club Men to Eat Supper on the
Result.

this week will be match shoot of 100
birds between President Kieffer of the
Forest City Gun Club and Capt. John
Juchter for an oyster supper for the club.
The match will take place Thursday af-
ternoon at the grounds of the club on
Estill avenue
President Kieffer has been worrying
Capt Juchter a good deal about the de-
feats which the latter's team has suffered
at the hands of the team headed by the
president. Capt. Juchter has gotten
tired of being bantered and proposes to
make the president demonstrate the skill
of which he boasts or pay the penalty
The match will be divided up into four
rounds of % shots each, each round con-
sisting of 10 shots at known birds in
known traps, 10 shots at known birds in
unknown traps and 5 shots at unknown
birds in unknown traps.
All the members of the club are invited
to be present, as there will be opportun-
ity for general match shooting while the
champions are resting. Ten-bore guns
will be used, that being Capt Juchter's
favorite.
Both President Kieffer and Captain
Juchter are fine shots, and the result of
the match will be awaited with a great
deal Of interest.

"McFee of Dublin" was written by
Charles T. Vincent and Mr.. Kelly and has
been great success in other cities. The
plot relates to the adventures of a bogus
lord and to his love affairs. Roger O'Ndara
persOnates Lord ldcFee IN order to win
the affections of a prima donna worth a
quarter of million. The prima donna
being away she is personated by her
maid; so the boetus lord courts the maid
after all, each thinking the other a per-
son of consequence; the real lord comes
along and so does the prima donna. Lord
McFee discovers the trick, but has Roger
keep it up, as he is wanted by the English
police on account of duel. The real lord
is engaged to the real prima donna and
the air is full of complications. MIR.
Kellys supporting company includes
Georgia Parker, Adelaide Randall, of
operatic fame, Harry Kelly and others.
Mr.. Kelly has a great reputation as an
impersonatOr of Irish character, he is
known as a first-class actor, and no little
amusement that he creates comes from
his applying mis- legitimate methods to his
work.

MILLER DoUBLY PUNISHED.
Fined $500 and Sent to Jail for Sixty
Days.

Herman Miller was sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 and to spend sixty days in Jail
by Mayor McDonough in the police court
yesterday.
Miller is the saloon keeper
who was fined 5000 or sixty
days in jail on two separate
charges of selling liquor on Sunday by
Mayor McDonough about a week ago,
Miller being out of the city at the time.
When he did not return to the city
Mayor McDonough ordered his stock
seized and conveyed to the barracks,
which was done.
Miller returned to the city Saturday
night week ago and was arrested by
Detective B0ssell after struggle. He
appeared before Mayor McDonough in the

habeas corpus was taken out by
Miller's attorney, Mr. 7. S. Morgan,
on which he was brought before the ordi-
nary on Friday. His honor, Judge
Ferrill dicbarged Miller on the grounds
that his trial and sentence while absent
were Illegal.
Miller was Immediately rearrested by
order of Mayor McDonough and yester-
day morning he was retired on the same
charges which had been made against
him at the former trial. Mayor McDon-
ough's sentence of 500 and sixty days
additional was somewhat of a surprise to
Miller and his attorney, who had no an
ticipaIiop that the former sentence would
be increased.
The case will be appealed to council.

TO BUILD MORE rANNERrBs.
The One at NARROW to Increase It.
Capacity.

Capacity.
The tsnnery at MARROW, which has been
now In operation for six months, tanning
leather with palmetto, is paying hand
somely.
The works have been much enlarged.
The l5-horse power boiler has been re-
placed by a 5O-horse power one and new
fiber machine grinding five tons Of pal
metto a day is now in operation. Ten
tanks, holding upward of 10000 gallons.
are now in use, and a number OF other
machines for preparing and spinning the
fiber after the fannie acid has been ex-
tracted are running steadily
The capacity of the tannery has been
increased to about $50 sides of leather
per week, turning out an excellent quail
ity of harness leather equal to the best
oak tannage which sells readily at fair
and remunerative prices. An order for
five sets of dopelt harness has been just
finished by Mr.. McGlashan, made en-
tirely from Palmetto tanned leather for
a prominent cotton house here.
There are plenty of orders ahead for
fiber, which is unsurpassed as a bedding
material, as regards elasticity, cleanli-
ness and durability This is the product
of the leaves, The stems are made into
plastering and spinning fiber, and bring
much better prices.
With flint hides costing cents per
pound, the labor will cost about 5 cents
per pound, the palmetto about 1 cent,
to produce one pound of leather, regard
less of the refuse, which is manufactured
at good profit for 10 cents, actual cost
to produce one pound of finished leather,
which is worth from 20 to 30 cents.
There is ample room for many more
such establishments, which will soon be
followed by shoe and harness factories,
which will create a market for the
leather in Savannah, giving at the same
time employment to hundreds of skilled
white mechanics.
