The German Volunteers and the Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry will go to war after
all.
Capt. Henry Kolshorn of the former
company received a telegram yesterday
from Col. John S. Gambler of the Third
Georgia Regiment, stating that he would
be designated TO the Governor for appoint
ment as captain in his regiment. It is
stated that Capt. T. S. Lucas of the Ogle-

effect.
Each of these officers will have from
forty to fifty men from their respective
commands as a nucleus for the formation
of the full companies for the Third Regi-
ment AS LOG men are required for a com
pany under the second call, it is possible
that officers In other companies here that

necessary number, when il is probable
that they will be sent to Griffin to be

TAX ON BILLS OF LADING.

transportation COmDany's Undecid-
ed Whether They VIII Pay 1t.
The railroads and express companies
have not yet decided whether they will pay
the stamp tax on bills of lading or re-
duire their patrons to defray this addi-
tional expense.
Inquiries at the offices in Savannah yes
terday showed that no instructions had
been issued, and that it may be several
days yet before a decision is reached. A
meeting of representatives of all the rail-
road systems is to be held North, and it
will then be decided whether the burden
shall fall upon the corporations or the
shippers.
While the amount to the average ship
per would not be great, the aggregate to
the railroad or express company would
run away up in the thousands of dollars.
A number a interesting questions are
likely 10 arrive from the enforcement of
the new stamp tax. The counsels of the
various transportation companies win have
new matters continually presented to them
until the law is in thorough working con-
dition II Is probable that the Attorney
General will decide all questions presented
as quickly as possible, and the rulings
thus made will be subsequently incorpor-
ated in general directions. If the war con-
tinues over any long period the stamp tax
will doubtless be an annoying feature Of
business life for several years to come.

OPPOSED TO THE CANTEEN.
Savannah Ministers Think 1t bad
Institution.

Savannah Ministers Think 1t BAD
Institution.
In common with their fellow clergy of
Atlanta and other cities the ministers of
Savannah probably all regard the regi-
mental canteens with disfavor and would
welcome their adjustment. No concerted
movement has been made here, though,
toward expressing their condemnation of
the canteen system, and 1t is hardly prob
able that there viii be any.
Rev. James Y. Fair of the Independent
Presbyterian Church, in discussing the ac-
ton of the Atlanta ministers, said yester-
day that 1t meets with his approval st do
not believe that the temptation to drink
should be created within the army or be
permitted to exist near the camps when
they are so located that the matter can be
controlled. The fact that a man can get
drink at the regimental canteen instead
of going perhaps some distance to town
for it is an inducement for him to drink
AS I view it, the tendency of those in
charge should be to limit and lessen the
temptations the young men comprising the
army are subjected to. Then l do not be-
lieve that liquor of any kind Is beneficial
to the soldiers Experience has demonstra-
ted the falsity of the theory that whisky
strengthens soldiers aud increases their
ability to Withstand hardships and danger
The reverse is the case 1 look on the can
teen system as wrong on the same
ground that I am opposed to the sale Of
liquor generally. 1t will do the soldiers
no good, and it may do them much harm
Rev. ]. H. Scruggs Of Trinity Methodist
Church Is also opposed to the canteen
system, and believes 1t should be broken
up. AS he views 1t. the fact that liquors
are for sale in camp will be temptation,
not only to those who already drink, but
to the many young men gathered into the
army from city and country who have not
acquired the drinking habit. The principle
he believes to be wrong, and the results,
he fears, will be the decentralization of
many boys, for the first time removed
from wholesome restraints and rendered
peculiarly susceptible to temptation in any
form In which 1t may present itself. The
regimental eanteen at one part Of the camp
and the Young Mems Christian Association
tent at another will be fighting for su-
premacy, and the good influence set afoat
by the latter may be more than offset ty
the pernicious activities of the canteen.

Fields killed sam Robinson eolbred con-
stable for Justice Cleary, LAST February.
4H2oblnson was sent out to serve some pa
Spers by Justice Cleary and fields went
along with him. On the WY out the
"a .ouisvllle road they had a quarrel, which
#seems to have grown out of lome dispute
with regard to RObinsons VIE.
Just what the quarrel was about the
4evidence did not bring out. At any rate
*during the dispute Fields ept Robinson's
#pistol- away from him and hot him three
Nmes, from the effects of which he died
Ia short time afterwards. ~
a Fields claimed that Robinson attacked
him with a knife, and hat he did the
b hOoting in self-defense. Robinson made
u n ante-mortem statement, in which he
5denied this, and put the killing down as
"a coldblooded one. Most of the statement
HAS admitted in evidencg but one portion
IL il, which charged thadFields had killed
smother man and committed several 9th ar
Ecrimes, was ruled out Robinson stated
That Fields took his pistN from him, shot
&fim, and then after he had fallen. fired
Etwo more shots into hin. He also said
II hat Fields stated he was going to a store
fto reload the pistol and was coming back
10 do him up. Fields is said to have told
Rlm while standing oVeHhis PROSTATE form
1that he was sorry he had not killed him
outright .4
The case was ably conducted for the de-
PENDANT by Judge Fl. D. Twiggs, Messrs
paul e. Seabrook and W. F. Slater. while
Solicitor General Osborne appeared for the
|state, and made out a pretty strong case
gIhe jury, however, gave the prisoner the
Benefit of the doubt. The charge of the
court was concluded al II 30 o'clock last
night, and within ten minutes the jury
returned with its verdict of voluntary
|hnansaughter Judge Falligant at once
sentenced the defendant TO a term of fif-
been years in the pen,tentiary.
