HoIIin,s institute. virginia.

Iollins Institute, six miles from the city
of Roanoke is one Of the educational insti-
tutions that have made Virginia famous in
the field of learning 1t was founded in 1912
and has steadily grown in capacity, scope
and reputation. To-day It ranks with those
schools for young women which command
the entire confidence Of parents. Since 1870
the school has grown too large to be linn
tied to Virginia patronage, so that all parts
of the Union are now represented by pu-
pills Besides the thorough educational
work accomplished by means of ten
courses from which the student chooses, the
institute has unusual natural and acquired
advantages. 1t is in the valley of Virginia
a region possessing a climate unexcelled
for healthfGness, and mineral springs Of

Mr.. George II. Ellis and Miss Flor
ence A. Roche Married.

There was a quiet but pretty wedding
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. p. c. Roche.
at Henry and Abercorn streets, yesterday
when their daughter Miss Florence a.
Roche became the bride of Quartermaster
Sergeant George II. Ellis, OF Company L.
Second Georgia Regiment of the United
States Volunteers. This was formerly
Company D, of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
]. l.. Scully in The presence of the family
and few intimate friends The parlors
were pretHly decorated with La France
roses, ferns and palms. The wedding
march was played by Mrs. Haupt. Dur
ing the afternoon and evening many
friends called to extend their best wishes
and congratulations.
Mr. Ellis is home on a furolugh which
requires his departure for Tampa again to-
day unless kilograms requesting an OK
tension of a day or two are successful.
His marriage with Miss Roche was orig.
irally set for November next, but as ne

THEY MUST ALL REGISTER.
But Bankers and Brokers Have Not
Been Told Where TO Do 1t.

Bat Bankers and Brokers Have Not
Been Told Where TO Do It,
II is doubtful whether all or nearly all,
of the banks brokers, pawnbrokers and
commercial brokers of Savannah are not
doing business to-day without having pro-
vided themselves with the certificates
showing that they have complied with the
law requiring them to take out speciF
licenses from the Federal government for
the privilege of doing business.
Notices have been posted here for some
days directing attention to these special
features of the war tax bill, and direct
ing that returns for the same shall be
made without further notice to Collector
Rucker at Atlanta. The notices direct
that all such persons han be registered,
but do not specify where the registering
is to be done, leaving it TO the individual
interested to find out whether he makes a
return to the deputy here or puts himself
on record at Atlanta at the time he sends
for his certificate.
They have gone about this matter In
very unbusiness like way said a broker
yesterday. Everybody is left In the dark
as to where he is to register. The depu-
ties here know nothing about it, and no
effort appears to have been made to get
the situation Strengthened out so that
men can intelligently comply with the
law. Ignorance may be no excuse but
some steps ought certainly to have been
taken to let those who will have TO pay
this license tax know exactly where they
are to enter themselves and get their GER
tihcates. The whole thing seems TO have
been badly managed"

ALDERMAN THOMAS SWORN IN.
Assigned to Committees of Which
Aid. Hamilton was Member.

What action Alderman Davis will take
in regard to mis- verbal resignation from
Council is not yet known, though he was
engaged at his regular duties as alder
man yesterday. Since the Mayor aeld
there was no resignation of which the
board would take cognizance unless Alder
man Davis had abandoned his work and
was not attending meetings, the assump-
ton is from his being at his post that lie
will not tender a written resignation.
Alderman Davis was asked by Morn
ing News representative if he had come
to any decision as TO what he intended to
do about resigning. He simply replied
there was nothing new, without quahfy-
ing it one way or the other. To those
acquainted with the situation, however,
il is well known that the alderman has
been strongly urged not TO carry out MS
intentions of resignlng. They want him
to stay because he is a valuable man,
and it as certain the aldermen individually
will make il a point to urge him TO let
the matter drop.
Mr.. D. r. Thomas was sworn in by
Mayor Meldrim at l o'clock as the sue
cessor of Mr.. Hull 1t was thought he
would serve on the same committees as
Mr. Hull but this is a matter so.ely for
the Mayor to decide, and he determined
that Alderman Thomas should take the
place of Mr.. Hamilton on all committees.
He viii, therefore, be chairman Of the
finance committee. one of the most i'm
portant in Council.
u do not think there will be anything
but the best of feeling" Mr.. Thomas said,
among all members of Council l am
sure that will be the case with me, and as
for Alderman Davis, l entertain no antip-
athy whatever toward him. If he thought
I would not make a reliable alderman be-
cause with the electric light company, it
was his privilege to object.

There was a case in Judge H. L. Fer

who lives near the corner Of Broughton

1t was claimed she had been cruelty
treated by the parties in whose custody
she has been, and night before last it is
said a large mob of negroes gathered
around Mrs. Bells house, and might had
been violent, had it not been for the pres
ence of the police.
When the matter came up before Judge
Ferrill yesterday he decided to give the
girl to Rev. VIM. A. Dawson of the Mt.
Bethel Baptist Church. He told the girl
If she was ever treated cruelty to come
