A Word of Advice.

Our readers are cautioned to make
their arrangement for tickets to points
beyond St. Paul and Minneapolis with
their home Agent of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis r. r. thereby saving in nearly
all cases not less than $3.50 in the cost

to if you pay local fare to these cities.
All rate disturbances have ceased and
you cannot hope to get ticket in the
Twin Cities at less than full tariff rates.
Always consult the nearest Minneapolis

able to obtain full information about
routes, lowest rates, etc. and can sell
tickets and check baggage through to
destination, avoiding all trouble or care
after you start.
We have found that the Minneapolis

RECRUITING FoR THE CAVALRY.
Lieut.. Forsyth of the Famous sixth
Regiment in savannah.


A cavalry recruiting office has been es-
tablished in Savannah for the enlistment
of recruits for the Sixth Regular Cav
airy OF the United States army. Lieut..
w. W. Forsyth Of the Sixth is in charge
of the recruiting station. He believes Sa-
vannah viii prove a good place for his
work and il he receives sufficient encour-
agement in the way of recruits will re
manned here some time.
Lieut. Forsyth is at the Pulaski. but his
headquarters are al the Planters, where
he will receive recruits from 9 a. m. to
! p. m. from to p. m, and
from to 10 p. m. Lieut.. For
syth is a Georgian and his regiment, the
Sixth Cavalry, Is one Of the most famous
in the service. All the men recruited by
him viii be put into this regiment.
When seen by Morning News reporter,
he said he thought this should prove a
good location for cavalry recruiting.
No demand has been made upon Geor-
gia for cavalry" he said, land as there
are doubtless a good many cavalrymen
who would like TO take a hand in the
Cuban affair, perhaps they might like TO
do so with the regulars. Good materiaf
for cavalry is plen<ful in Georgia, and
shall be disappointed if 1 do not secure a
number of recruits here"
Lieut.. Forsythe said he thought that
some OF the members of the First Cavalry
Georgia Volunteers would like to volun-
teer. He will call upon Col. Gordon in refer
ence to this matter on the latters return
10 Savannah next week. The recent army
bill, providing for increasing the strength
OF the regular army viii almost double the
strength of the cavalry regiments, Lieut..
Forsyth stated. From a strength of about
t0O they will be increased to 1900 The
sixth Regiment has room for about 600
men. Savannah is the only recruiting sta
ton for the regiment in the South.
Ihere Will be no red tape about Lieut..
Forsyth's enlistment. He will receive, ex-
anime and muster in the men himself and
wren the recruit gets out of his hands he
will be already a member of the United
States army. The recruits will be furnished
with transportation and forwarded to
Chiekamauga where the regiment is now
located
The requirements of the cavalry service
differ somewhat from those for the infan-
try branch. No man will be accepted of less
than feet / inches or more than 5 feet
10 inches in hight. Weight must be in pro-
portion TO hight and not less than 100 nor
more than 165 pounds Lieut.. Forsyth is
authorized to interpret the re-
quirements literally, however, and
small variations from, .
required measurement will not count
against man who is otherwise in good
condition physically. Young men under IS
years of age, who can pass the examina-
ton, VIII be taken with the consent of
their parents or guardians. Married men
viii also be accepted by the officer, though
this is not usually done without the con-
sent Of the regimental commander.

Propeller Towboat Company's feet bad a
close call.a day or two ago. 1t isn't every
tug that can tear up a big dynamite mine
from the bottom Of river and then go off
unframed, but this is what the McCauley
did.
The steamer was coming up the river
Thursday with a small brig in tow. There
was a good breeze and as the brig had her
sails set she was coming along practical
ly under her own power, leaving the tow
rope slack.
The captain of the McCauley
seemed to regard it as his duty to keep the
rope taut, and as he came by Fort Pulaski
he got on an extra squirt. This was a very
serious break for him to make, as the river
is full of mines, recently planted in that
neighborhood. and a good blow from
ships propeller would be likely to explode
the 800 or more pounds of dynamite con-
tanned in each mine.
The mines rest upon the bot
tom, but a floating buoy is attach
ed to each mine, the buoy being sub
merged. Passing ships which strike this
buoy cause an electric alarm to be rung
in the mining casemate of the fort, which
gives notice that a ship is just over the
mine announced by the Indicator, If it be
an enemy's ship then it Is the time to
touch off the mine.
The mines do not explode sim
ply by contact with passing YES
sells, otherwise the Savannah river chan
mel would be practically impossible by this
time but a good blow, such as might be
administered by a ships propeller would
be sufficient to explode the mine.
What the McCauley did was TO catch tho
floating buoy over one of the mines. yank
1t loose and drag lot of cable along with
it, After the steamer had passed the buoy
was noticed floating on the surface. This
caused an examination to be made, and it
was found to have been carried some 200
feet out of its place
The practice now followed by the steam
ers In passing the fort is to get up suft1-
cient momentum before reaching the mine
district to get past without usipg the pro-
pellers.

Ryals. An Inspector will be sent out to-
day TO look into the matter
Clerk j. w. MeIntire of the County
Commissioners also wrote the health
officer inclosing a copy of a letter from
President j. J. McDonough of the Geor~
gia Car and Manufacturing Works. to
Chairman Dale. calling his attention to
the overfiowed condition of the lands i'm
mediately west of the compa-
ny's works. Much complaint
has been made by the tenants
occupying this land. the letter states on
account of the nuisance which is largely
caused by the overfiow~ of waste water
from the company's artesian wen. Mr.
McDonough suggests that if a proper ditch
be dug through the swamp the water
would flow off into other main bitches or
canals, and would not overflow the land
and, besides, the ditch would have a ZEN
dency to drain the entire lowlands in that
vicinity, which very much need attention
1t is probable that as result of these
letters, a conference will be held between
the sanitary authorities of the city and
the drainage committee of tee County
Commissioners for the purpose of agree
ing upon plan to be carried out in fur

MUST RETURN BICYCLES.
Those who Do Not Are Liable to BE
Double Taxed on Their Value.

Double Taxed on Their Value.
The returns of property for taxation
have been coming in fairly well recently
and yet not so rapidly as the tax collec-
tor would like to see them.
The tax return books have been open
now a month, and yet less than one-third
of the property owners have made their
returns AS usual, it appears that so to
60 per cent. are waiting until the last
day, feeling that they have plenty, of time
and that there is no need to be in a hurry
about it.
The return books will close about June
/, and all the returns must be made by
that time Parties who have moi made
their returns then will be liable to double
tax. So far only three banks have made
their returns, and very few of the large
property owners. The class which is most
behind is the retail dealers, very few of
whom have made their returns, but real
estate owners are doing very we'll.
Tax Receiver Dillon says very few owners
of bicycles have returned them for taxa
ton. So far there are not more than fifty
on the list. He Is making a systematic
effort to locate all owners of bicycles, and
those who fail TO return them will be re-
ported for double taxation on the full
value of. the wheels. The state tax re-
turn sheets mention bicycles specifically,
this being the first time they have ever
done so. There are. Ii is said, about 5000
wheels in Savannah, and the tax receiver
does not like the idea of having only fifty
of them returned. Owners of wheels may,
therefore, look out If they do not want
TO be double taxed.
The values of the property returned are
about the same as they have been for the
last two years In fact, these values have
run very much the same since 1893. when
the tax list was revised. There is one
exception this year, however, and that
is stocks in trade, which are being re-
turned at very much lower values. 1t is
believed that smaller stocks are being held
on account of the war scare.
The county budget this year will prob
ably be something less than IL, was last
year. but In order to make the tax rate
less the property values will have to keep
UP to The same figure or go above 1t. If
the total property valuation should fail
considerably below what IL was last year.
then the tex rate might possibly go high
er. The tax rate depends on the ratio
between the county budget and the valua-
ton of the property in the county
