K1NsEY WON THE RACE.
wheelmen Make Good Time on the
White Bluff Road.

The Savannah Wheelmen's annual ten
mile handicap road race was run yester-
day on the White Bluff road. 1t was won
by Tug" Kinsey in 81 minutes
80 seconds. There were six en-
tries, two scratch men, Tug" Kinsey
and NJ Ed Wilson, G. II. Leopold and
S. n Harris, with 2:05 time handicap,
and o. w Jackson, Jr., handicapped at
$3.50. VIII Kinsey started with LIS
handicap, but was attacked with cramps
and did not finish.
The race was pretty one, and taking
into consideration the condition of the
road and the fact that there was strong
wind, the time was excellent.
Kinsey's 81 ;32 was within % seconds
of Farmers winning time last year, which
was the best road time for ten miles ever
ridden in this part of the south. Kinsey's
time last year was 1906.
The weather was threatening and the
numb Der of people who went out to the
would otherwise have been. The
start was from the two mile post just
beyond the second toll gate, and was to
the seven mile post and return. The first
mile was over a good road, but after that
the road was muddy in spots. All the
men got off in fine trim, and in, spite of
the wind made the first two miles in ex-

looked at the start as though
the scratch men had a poor show, but the
finish showed that they were made Of
good stuff. Kinsey came in with a rush,
and apparently as fresh as at the start.
Wilson was in hard luck, however. Near
the turning point at the seven mile post
he and Kinsey, while ''changing places, 4"
collided. Wilson was thrown from his
wheel and somewhat bruised. In spite
of his fall and the time lost, he finished
third in 81 81, which was second fast time.
Leopold was second man in, and rode a
fine race.

order of their finish:

THE TAX RETURNS.
A Decrease of Personal Property
Without Increase in Real Estate.

A Decrease of Personal Property
Without Increase in Real Estate.
The tax digest closed yesterday at 2
O'Clock, at which hour several of the
large taxpayers of the city had failed to
make any returns. They will probably
send in their returns later and appeal to
the county commissioners to relieve them
of the double tax.
1t is not known yet how the tax returns
will show up. There is a very large poll
tax return which is the result of the diff
ferent political clubs of the city and
county, preaching to their members the
necessity TO return their polls in order to
be relieved from the double tax.
At almost all of the recent
meetings of the political clubs this
doctrine has been drilled into the
members with the result that the return
of polls has been larger than it has be-
fore in some years. Merchants have
sent in large lists of their employees for
poll tax returns, and everybody seems
anxious to get the other fellow on the
list. II all of them prove as anxious to
pay their poll tax in the fall the educa-
tional fund will have large increase.
1t is impossible to tell as yet how the
returns will foot up, but il is believed
they will be as large as last year, as a
wonderfully large number of small tax
payers and holders of small properties
have given in their names. The outlook
is for a decided decrease in the amount of
personal property, without, however, a
corresponding increase in real estate
The books, however, are not sufficiently
advanced yet to give any figures.

Scholastic Work It Is Doing.
The next session of this noted boarding
and day. school for young ladies, com
mences on Sept. 5, next.
Already applications for catalogues are
being received. and the promise is of an
other prosperous year.
The past year has been one of wide
spread financial depression but notwith-
standing this fact, the institute has had a
prosperous year.
No school in the south has enjoyed more
| constant and brilliant success than the
Agnes Scott, and the causes of this sue
cess are evident.
l. Its location in North Georgia is I'M
rlValed the local surroundings are ideal,
Decatur having long been noted for its re-
fined, educated and religious society
2. A large and accomplished corps Of
trained and experienced teachers, each
member of the faculty having been Sc
lected for his or her character and special
qualifications for the chair occupied
3. Thorough work The utmost effort
Is made to do thorough teaching, and no
careless or antiquated methods are used.
| None of the officers or teachers have any
| financial interest In the management of
the institute, and each teacher is able to
give her or his entire time and undivided
and disinterested attention to the work of
instructing. Pupils not making satisfac-
tory progress, or not improving their
time, are not allowed to waste the money
OF parents by further attendance.
The curriculum is already high. It is
rigidly pursued, and is being steadily ad-
vanced as the school grows in years. 1t
is the desire and aim of trustees and fac
ulty to place the Agnes Scott as the
leader in elevating the standard of te-
male education in the south.
The special departments, as music and
art, are we'll equipped and under charge
of skilled specialists, are fully abreast of
the times and the best schools.
4. The low scale of fees, these having
been fixed, not with the view of money
making, but simply to cover current ex-
penses, repairs and equipment
D. The superb buildings were con-
structed especially for school purposes,
after the best approved plans They are

A Pretty Wedding at tn o First Pres
byterian Church.
Few weddings can be prettier than that
of Mr.. Robert Van Wagenen and Miss
Sadie Greene Vass, which took place last
night at 8 10 o'clock at the First Presby-
terrain church. The church was very
prettily decorated for the occasion. Back
of the pulpit was beautiful bank of red
and white roses, and gracefully arranged
on all sides were large palms and ferns,
which added much to the beauty of the
scene. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. DIR. L. G. Vass, father of the bride.
Messrs. j. Ferris Cam, j. ID. Carswell,
Harry Van Wagenen and Edward G. Vass
acted as ushers. Miss Lillian Hamilton
was maid of honor and Mr.. Henry Drane
best man. The page, little Francis Dasher,
entered the church first, followed by the
bride with her brother, Mr. l.. G. Vass,
Jr. They were met at the altar by the
groom and his best man, where the cere-
mony was performed. The bride
wore white organdie over white
satin and the maid Of honor
mousseline de sole. AT ter the cere-
mony the bridal party went to the resi-
dence of DIR. Vass, where a reception to
the intimate friends and relatives was
held. Mr. and Mrs. Van Wagenen left
last night on the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad for Washington and
New York. Before returning they will
visit Montreal and Quebec.
The bride is a daughter of Rev. DR..
Lochlan c. Vass, and has large circle of
friends in the city. Mr. Van Wagenen is
son of Mr.. Frederick Van Wagenen, and
holds responsible position with Messrs.
Hunter, Pearce & Battey He is a well
known and able young business man.

THE oITY's EXPENSES.
A Good Showing Made for the First
Half Of the Year.

A report of the city's expenditures for
the six months ending June 30, as COM
pared with the budget appropriations for
the year was submitted, to city council
last night by Clerk Rebarer
The report makes a very good showing
when it is considered that it includes
$4,000 paid for bills due at the beginning
of the year and the cost of the Jeffer-
son street pavement. With no unex-
pected demands upon the treasury the
city's expenses can easily be kept within
the budget this year. While something
over one-half the budget appropriation
has been expended it must be remem-
bered that only five months expenses re-
main to be drawn from the budget, as the
bills for December do not fall due until
the first of the following year.

BAKING POWDER.

is asked by the committee is such an ad-
iLstment of rates as will put the ports OF
the South Atlantic on an equal footing
with those of Virginia. They dlsclalmed
any intention of asking any advantage.
In regard to fertilizers the committee
stated that the Virginia cities claim, and
are allowed, large differential in their
favor against the very South Atlantic
cities. which are denied an equal footing.
Charleston is the center of the fertlllzer
business in the south, yet the tariff on
fertilizers is so arranged as to shut
Charleston out of most of North Carolina,
and entirely out of Virginia.
THE FERTILIZER RATES.
Then follows list of tables showing
that the differential on fertilizers TO non
competing points varies all the way from
60 cents TO 50 against Charleston and in
favor of Richmond and other Virginia
cities. To few competing points which
are nearer Charleston than Richmond
the rate is the same from both
points. The committee goes on to
state that many of these cities
are open TO Virginia fertilizers, while
those of Charleston and South Atlantic
ports are practically shut out by the dis
eliminating rates. Other tables furnish
comparative rates on other products,
showing that there is an advantage in
favor of the Virginia cities, all of which
goes to show, as was stated by railroad
man here some days ago, that distance
had little or nothing to do with making
railroad rates.
In the back part of the memorial is q
number of tables of rates on different
products showing how determinations
are made against the ports of the South
Atlantic in favor of those of Virginia.
The argument is one of the strongest
against rate determinations against the
South Atlantic ports that has yet been
made. 1t covers almost every port
claimed by the railroads There is no doubt
that it will have its weight with the as
