Savannah, Ca, People Don't Care
for the President.
CITY COUNCILS BOLD POSITION
Declines Twice to Endorse or Vote
ley VIII VISIT Lee.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-For the second
time in few weeks the City Council
of Savannah declined to extend an in
yitation to President Mckinley to visit
this city and review the Seventh Army
Corps. This action was taken each
time after elaboration
A few weeks ago an Alderman
thought TO compliment the President
by inviting him to Savannah. He in
PRODUCED a resolution inviting the
To his surprise the eleven other Alder
men voted against the resolution.
This matter was passed over, but it
came to the surface again in new
form. The Mayor Of the city adj
dressed a letter to Maj. Gen. FitZhugh
Lee, telling him he would bring to the
attention of the Council the advisa-
bility of inviting the President to Sa-
vannah to review the Seventh Army
Corps.
The Mayor was out of the city upon
the occasion of the former slight to
the Chief Executive. He brought up
the question in caucus again today,
and the Abdomen frowned upon it as
on the former occasion.
The Mayor was surprised. The Aid
ermen who opposed asking Mr.. McKin-
ley to come here say they are opposed
to his Southern policy, and they hold
him responsible for the race riots that
have occurred in the Southern States
recently. His political gifts to the
negroes have had a bad effect, they
say, and to invite the President here
would, in measure, sanction his ac-
ton. Savannah has a colored Collector
of Customs, and this has not ben for
gotten by some of the citizens.
Mayor p W. Medium said tonight
that if the President should come to
Savannah of his own accord or at the
invitation of Gen. Lee he would be re-
ceived cordially by a body of private
citizens, but that the Council would
not ask him officially to come. The
Mayor says it is a matter with which
the Council has nothing to do.

This has been hay season beyond all
memory. The crop is wonderful In this
section. 1t is from third to half above
the average. The weather has been just
right for growing ii. For the past two
weeks there has been some excellent
weather for gathering it. One of our farm
ers reports that he secured 1856 loads, weigh
ing about 1875 tons, and only the last load
got wet. There is some complaint because
the price of hay promises to be low, but
farmers should remember that none are
so we'll able to stand hard times as those
who have their barns full. 1t Is possible
that other sections have not been so well
favored, and the market may be better
than some predict. Times ought to inn
prove in the state, for hay is Vermont's
best crOD.

Obituary..

The funeral services OF II. A. Powers
were held at his late residence Thursday
July 7th, at 2 D. m. Twas indeed nota-
BILE occasion. To Look upon the large con-
course gathered within the beautiful home
be reared upon the site OF the one burned
few years ago, one might well have con-
cluded that the last rites were being cele-
brated in behalf Of some great public dig
nitary rather than one who had lived
mainly within the limits OF his own quiet
town.
Braintree has recognized the sterling
qualities OF Mr.. Powers by bestowing up
on him every honor In its gift and send
ing him to the state legislature as repre-
sentative; and the farewell words spoken
above his bier testified that he has lived
among this people great In just those traits
which win and hold people-frank kindli-
ness, helpful service In their behalf,a gen.
erous optimism that sees the best side Of
human nature and believes in the final
triumph OF good over evil.
Therefore when their genial neighbor
and steadfast friend and trusted fellow
citizen OF so macy years was to be buried,
It is not strange that the whole country
side was present to pay their tribute OF
profound respect and honor.
The services were conducted by the Rev.
Mr.. Hardy, Rev. MIR. Morrow assisting.
Friendship and friendliness was the theme
OF Mr.. Hardy's sympathetic tribute. He
laid special stress upon the fact that real
friendliness governed in the life just closed
the friendliness of a nature In which
seemingly antagonistic elements were min
gled in rare ombination-ruggedi ntegri-
~, and the ability to accommodate him.
self to surrounding circumstances; frank
ness that savored at times OF severity, and
an almost morbid sensitiveness for other
peoples feelings; a passionate contempt
Tor every kind OF hypocrisy and sham, and
a charity that wonld throw mantle over
a multitude OF other peoples sins.
He was conscious up to the last moment
Of his life, himself arranging calmly all
things that bore upon the future OF bis
home and loved ones, also for the details
OF his own funeral. He leaves a widow

There seems to be considerable difference
OF opinion as to who should pay the stamp
taxes imposed under the new revenue law
on certain things. The express companies
and telegraph company compel their pa
irons to pay it. Whenever a package is
sent or telegraph message filed the COM
pany collects cent or whatever the tax
may be. In this way the express and tel
egraph companies are out nothing and the
tax falls on the people. The Central YER
mont Railroad company and the New
England Telephone company, on the 9TH
er hand, pay the tax themselves and do
not collect Of their patrons. Government
officials have rendered an opinion that the
common carriers should pay the tax in all
cases instead of the people, 1t being the
purpose OF the law to make the rich corpo-
rations contribute. In Boston the mer-
chants are taking concerted action to
bring the express and telegraph compa-
MES to time.
For the convenience of those who are
interested in the war tax only as 1t affects
them in the ordinary transaction OF busi-
ness, we give the following
You must put two cent revenue stamp
on every check or sight draft.
Put two cent stamp on every inland
bill of exchange, time draft, promissory
note or money order for each 800.
Pay one cent extra on each telegraph
message sent
Pay 10 cents on physicians certificate of
a death.
Pay 25 cents on each year lease, so cents
on lease between one and three years,
and 81 on a lease exceeding three years.
Pay % cents on each mortgage between
81 900 and 81 800 and 25 cents on each
$500 additional.
Pay a tax ranging from rs cents to SIS
per 500 on legacies above $4,000, accord
ing to the total value.
Pay so cents tax on a surety bond.
Pay % cents on each protested note.
PAY one cent on every shipmens OF ex-
press or freight. THE C.V.R.R. pays this.
Manufacturers OF proprietary medi-
cines, and all local druggists come under
this bead, must sffix to each package or
bottle sold stamp varying In value ac-
corcing to the price of the article.
Banks, trust companies and any one
who may wish to handle internal revenue
stamps can buy of the government,
through internal revenue collectors, who
will make one per cent discount on all
orders Of 800. The government appoints
no agents.
The state treasurer's checks, the orders
OF the state auditor, the soldiers orders
for the 81 per month extra state pay and
other vouchers OF payment usual TO the
treasury do not require stamp. Neither
do checks drawn by the treasurers OF
counties, towns, incorporated villages
and school districts vequire stamps when
drawn only for purposes strictly belong
ing to them in their ordinary govern
mental or municipal capacity. Orders
drawn by the selectmen, road commits
sioners and school directors of towns,
trustees OF incorporated villages and pru-
dental committees of incorporated school
districts or their respective treasurers are
also exempt from stamp duty.
