ORIGINAL PACKAGE DEAL
ERs FREE TRADERS.
But Can Citizen of the State Sell
Liquor as An Agent?

Editor The Item You, qaery in the issus
of the j 9th, about Judge Simonton's decision
and the revenue from ''orieinal package
stores,'' suggests another question:. more
practical-much more important-Whicb,
with your generous cooperation, is offered
through yoar columns for consideration ol
whom it may concern. But before proceed
ing to that point, take liberty to frame,
what conceive, an answer 10 your two ques-
ticns referred to.
Judge Siwonton does not subject original
package dealers 10 any conditions excep'
those expressed in his decision. Ga the con.
trary, be removes restrictions and conditions
1t seems they are, by virtue of his will, free
traders and free hooters, and may have all
they can get. They sail under ''letters OF
maruue and 1ecrisal'' Neither Go we think
that the restriction of the State Constitution
can apply to these cases for, if we remember
Alright, il is ''wbeDever the Legislature" may
authorize issue of license for sale OF liquors,
then the restrictions apply. Judge Slnon-
tons breach of our autonomy is of tremen-
dous and far-reachipg scope, involving not
the controi of liquor, only, but all that the
founders of this free country fought for.
And ssthe town or city where original
package establishments are opened" cannot
''require dealers to conduct business in The
same manner," or any manoer, because they
are nowhere given authority, but are forbid
den to do 60 And they caonos enter into

amount Of sales." because the town or city
is no, foreigner (forsootn y, but are amen
able to State law, which fors,ds everything
of this KIDD And they could rot make the
original package man account if they were
aurhosized 10 do so So the only way for
town or city and county to get their share OF
income is TO trr 10 poforce whatever remains
of State Law. passed by egsI legislature
and cave il to foreigners, who are interested,
against our interests, 10 ecforce laws enacted
by Judge Simonton. And this brings us 10
the question that we spoke of:
Judge Slmonton has decided the dispeo-
sary law constitutional one time 10 his
later decisioss he very clearly signifies that
citizens Of The Safe are lawfully prooioited,
oy that law, from selling liquors; therefore
when citizen becomes the ageot Of !. for

The Savannah. Thunderbolt and Isle Of
Hope railway has altered the gauge of
the Barnard street line to conform to the
gauge Of the lines formerly known as the
Parsons lines. This gauge is several
inches wider than that of the Electric
railway lines, which were recently com
bined with the Parsons system. All of
these lines will gradually be changed to
conform to the wide gauge

in order TO interfere with traffic as little
as possible. This work does not involve
upturning the soil to the extent forbidden
by the ordinance. and permission for the
work was given by council several weeks
ago AS the Barnard street line will be
operated in connection with the other par
allel lines on Whitaker Abercorn and
Habersham streets when the system is re-
constructed this fail, it was desirable to
make the change in grade as early as pos

The street and lane committee of council
is now waiting upon the street railway
authorities before reporting upon the plan
submitted by the street railway people sew
eTal months ago. This plan includes a
general revision of all the street railway
lines in the city, 1t being proposed to
abandon a considerable portion of the
present trackage and to lay a large amount
of new track in order to bring about d
system which can be more economically
operated and will at the same time afford
better facilities.
Director J. ". Hartman of the street

Chairman Dixon Says Much work
UnprOvidcd For Has Been Done,
Chairman Dixon of the water works
commission says that in asking the city
council for an appropriation of $3.50 to lay
a main on Tenth street the commission
is only asking for what it is entitled to-
I'VE have plenty of money with which
TO complete the year and are in no danger
of overrunnlng our budget Chairman Dix
on said. 'sWe have incurred during the
year, however, expenditures amounting TO
about 81 $50, which were not provided for
in the budget and which We're made at the
instance of council with, the understand
ing that If we should need the money at
any time the amount would be re-
funded TO us. A considerable amount of
work was done for private parties the ex-
pense of which was borne by us, but the
payments for the work went into the city
treasury and not to the credit of the wa
ter commission.
"A water main is greatly needed on
Tenth street, from Whitaker to Lincoln
Our appropriation for new mains has been
expended, however, and as we cannot take
the money to lay new main out of the
appropriation for the running expenses of
the department, the only way in which
we can lay a main on Tenth street is for
council to give US back a portion of the
money which has been expended at its
instance for other purposes
For instance, MIR Johnston, the Chi
cago engineer, came here at the instance
of the mayor and not of the com mission,
but the expense of his two visits was
borne by our budget, though no such ex-
pense was contemplated when The budget
was made up. A number of houses have
been built on Tenth street and the main
is greatly needed and I trust council will
see fit to put US in way of providing it."

That is settled" said a welI-known
republican yesterday. you can announce
it as a positive fact, as l know that the

The announcement may be regarded as
ex cathedra, as the gentleman who made
it is known to be on the inside and has
always been found to be good authority in
such matters.
You can also state as a positive fact"
he said, that Postmaster Haines win be
allowed to complete his term. That is as
certain as that Mr. Blum will succeed Mr..
Haines. 1t is true that there was an in
vesigation here of Postmaster Haines'
conduct of the Office not very long ago
but the charges have been dropped or
pigeonholed. Unless something untoward
should occur, Mr.. Haines will certainly
serve out his term"
What about the collectorship?"

successful and well patronized affair. A
strong and faithful effort has been made
by those having the show in charge to
get up a refined and pleasing entertain
ment, and the applause which greeted
every performer, without exception told
of the appreciation with which the show

tons were well arranged, and an ovation
was rendered each performer.
Characteristic among the jokes were
those which had a local application and
therefore provoked much mirth. The fire
commissioners were remembered, and
another local touch-up was, behave your
selves there! You are worse than the
county commissioners

Sammy Brown, in his sparkling special
ties. He caught the favor of the entire
audience in his song. who Stole the

encores. Though young in years and
small in stature, Master Sammy has the
stage bearing of al adept.

for the entertainment is attributable to
him and Mr.. Harry Raskin, under whose
direction the musical nArt was arrnnend
