day he put on II collar a half size too

County Treasurer Laakard states
that the county had over 100000 on
deposit to its credit on June LIST, the
day after the last day for paying the
real estate taxes of 1896. This amount
was $l5,O 900 more than the county had
on the same day year before, and
the year before was larger than the
year prior to that. OF the amount re-
ceived about $4,000 was paid in for
State lands and for interest on money
for lands purchased of the State on
the contract system. This amount
has already been turned over to the
State. Last year the amount paid in
was about $4,000. This year it was
about $4,000 and the taxes on the
Davidson lands, which were paid last
year, were not paid this year. They
amount to about $1,000. The tax rate
for 1895 was much higher than for
1896, consequently the taxes for 1896
were paid up great deal better than
on the preceding year.
A bus load of passengers had
narrow escape from death at North

was hitched and the lines were tied to

being nearly full of passengers. They
ran against freight car, tearing the
canvas from the bus, and then across

The street Railways.

Il is semi officially stated that the con-
solidated street railway company will re-
arrange its tracks so as to reduce the
amount Of trackage. and yet at the same
time give as good II not a better service
than is now afforded. 1t can readily be
conceived now this can be done when It
is understood that there are now seven
east and west. street railway lines, and
nine north and south lines, in an area
of a mile and a quarter-one way and, two
miles the other. several of the lines be-
ing within 800 to 40 feet of each other.
1t has been asserted. and there is hardly
a doubt as to the accuracy of the state
ment, that in proportion TO its area Sa-
vannah has more street railway trackage
than any city in the world The rail-
ways are to a great extent under the
jurisdiction of the municipality, and upon
the action of the city authorities much of
the proposed improvement in street rail
way matters viii depend. 1t is said that
among the other good things that are to
come out of the consolidation is to be a
liberal system of transfers by which a
passenger can ride to any part of the city
for one fare If this is a fact, then the
city authorities, representing the people
who ride on the cars, should be equally
liberal in dealing with the consolidated
company, and allow it to rearrange its
tracks so as to run its cars to the very
best advantage.
On this line, while the consolidated com
pany is making changes would it not be
well for it to consider the advantages
which would accrue to itself and its pa
irons from the abandonment of the Whit
aker street line and making a belt of the
Barnard and Abercorn lines? OF course
the railway company would not like to
take up its rails in a street like Whitaker
to have some other company build through
the street at future day But that is
matter which could be arranged by the
city authorities. The people have always
objected to a railway through Drayton
street on account of the narrowness of
that thoroughfare. The same objection
holds good of Whitaker street. One of the
companys proposed changes, it is under
street line owing to the narrowness of
the street and its contiguity to Haber-
sham street. Similar argument may be
used with regard to the Whitaker street
line.
There will, no doubt, be a plenty of
kickers against any and every proposed
change in the tracks, lines and belts, but
when the whole scheme of the company
has been set forth it will without doubt
receive the hearty endorsement of the
masses. The people want good street
railway facilities, but at the same time
they are willing to give the railways every
reasonable opportunity to earn profits for
their owners.

Divorced But Not Separated.

A San Diego man who has just been
granted divorce was surprised when he
went home to find the woman still holding
the fort, says the Chicago Chronicle. For
months they had cooked for themselves
and eaten alone although under the same
roof and few words had passed between
them. The man was still more surprised
on entering the dining-room to observe
that the table was set for two and that
his ex-wife was singing merrily as in the
good old days of their early wedlock.
Come" she said, "dt lner is ready and
tioning these two people-both away over
jO-sat down together and enjoyed a hearty
meal.
When the dishes were washed and put
away the wife that was came up to the
eX-husband and said:
wei, how do you like the new arrange
ment?''
First rate" he replied; but can't I'M
derstand it,"
"Oh. that's all right" said she, 1--WE can
live this way in contentment. The other
way we quarrel. Now, then, suppose you
retain me as housekeeper? Twenty dollars
per month and board is all l ask"
This struck the eX-husband favorably,
and the bargain was closed on the spot.
The couple have not had a sign OF trouble
since, although they were in hot water for
thirty-two years fretting under the marital
yoke. They dare not quarrel much now
for fear one viii leave the other in the
lurch. He must have his meals cooked
and she must have a place to stay. To-
gether they are happy now, as separate
as If they had never married. The bargain
promises to last TO the end

A ChangedHOiidav

According to the original intention.
Memorial day was to be holiday of tears.
and mourning and exercises in honor of
the departed soldiers. Its features were
to be parades to muf1led music, orations
upon the valorous deeds and noble pur-
poses of the slain, and garlands ana
wreaths Of flowers deposited upon graves
and monuments. To some extent the order
OF exercises has been retained, but exceDt
in isolated instances Memorial dav has
become more a holiday of festivities than
OF remembrance of the slain of the war.
This morning there appear in the news
columns of the newspapers in all sections
of the country reports of horse races. and
boat races, and bicycle races: and of out
ing parties, and picnics, and bowling and
shooting contests. There are also. of
course, reports of the exercises at the mon
uments and in the cemeteries But they
will not be the most eagerly read reports
in the papers. Probably seven-tenths of
the number of readers will scan the head
lines of the reports of memorial exercises
and then turn the paper over and devour
the whole story of the running of the
Brooklyn handicap, and the other sporting
events of the day. In most cities of the
north tonight the relative merits of the
horses which ran in the handicap. and
not the relative merits of the generals who
fought in the war will be the topics of
discussion.
Probably it is just as well, after all. that
human nature is so constituted that il
turns quickly to the lighter and brighter
side of life If it were otherwise. this
would be world of woe, and constant
weeping and wailing. Old animosities
would never be forgotten, and feudalsm
and sectionalism would prevail The peo-
pie of the present day do not observe
Memorial day as they did twenty wears
ago, not because they are less apprecia-
tive of the men who lost their lives in the
great struggle, but because time has soft
tened SORROWS and effaced bitter memories
and they are happy in the peace and pros
perity which has come to the reunited
country. The memory of the men of the
war Is revered In the minds of the people
now as much as It ever was. but the peo-
pie are less demonstrative in this partic-
ular matter now than formerly. The OBJ
servations are applicable to the north
and the south alike. with the qualification.
however, than in this section the memorial
day Is observed more nearly upon the old
lines.
