1sr cAvALRY's NEW LIEUT. COL
Major MeIdrim's Election Assured
by a Large Majority.

Major MeIdrim's Election Assured
by "a Large Majority.
A lieutenant colonel of the First Regi-
ment of Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers, was
elected yesterday, and no doubt is felt
that Maj. p. w. Meldrim. of the First
Squadron, was chosen. 1t was reported
that Maj. ]. J. Brewer of the Second
Squadron was also in the race, though he
received no votes here. All of the Georgia
Hussars and Capt. J. C. Posten inspector
Of rife practice for the regiment, voted for
Maj. Meldrim.
The vote of the local officers of the regi-
ment was taken last night at the quarters
of the Hussars. The election was man
aged by Capt. w. w. Williamson and
Capt. ]. J. Gaudry. Capt. Postell and the
captain and two lieutenants of
the Hussars voted for Maj. Meidrim.
All of the line officers and the inspector
of rifle practice of the regiment are en-
titled 10 votes in the election of a field
officer. The eight troops of the regiment
all held their elections during the day,
as Col. Miller had so ordered. 1t is not
known just how the vote resulted, but
it is thought Maj. Meldrim must have been
elected by a considerable majority. Two
or three of the country troops probably
voted for Mai. Brewer but it is said
nearly all were for Maj. Meldrim, whose
popularity as well as his being the rank
ing major made him the favorite
Maj Brewer will doubtless receive the
promotion to the command of the First
Squadron. This will leave a vacant ma
jorship. Capt Beirne Gordon of the Hus-
sars is the ranking captain, and he is
pretty certain to take the step up. In
that case Lieut.. Henry McAlpin of the
Hussars will probably be elected cap
tain, Lieut.. c. A. L. Cunningham will
go to the first lieutenancy, and there will
be an election for second lieutenant of
the troop.
Col. Miller will probably order further
elections after Maj. Meldrim has stood his
examination. This will be within a few
days. as he has said he did not care for
the thirty days that are allowed an Off
cer-elect in which to prepare himself for
the examination.

TAX COLLECTIONS BEHIND.
Only Three Weeks for the Tax Pay
ers to Get in Line.


The taxpayers of Chatham county are
way behind in the payment of their taxes
to Capt. J. J. MCGOWAN, tax collector, and
he is very DESTROYS of getting his accounts
in shape as rapidly as possible
Not only are the general taxpayers be-
hind, but the, poll taxes are way behind
as compared with the same time last
year. There would seem to be no reason
for this de.ay, as business is so much
better this year than it was last. There
are only three weeks more in which taxes
can be paid, and if everybody puts the
matter off to the last moment there Will
be such a rush that people will have to
wait in line for Two or three hours in
order to get into the tax collectors office.
Capt. MCGOWAN, in his special notice.
calls special attention to the fact thar
the poll tax must be paid by ali male res.
idents of the county between q and 60
years old, whether they are citizens or
not. This tax goes into the educational
fund, and executions are issued for its
collection just as in the case Of general
taxes.

BRICK CLOSELY INSPECTED.
Mr.. William Sargent to Assist In
the House Drainage Work.

AAC " OEks
Mr.. William Sargent. connected with the
firm of Waring, Chapman & Farquhar.
arrived from New York yesterday, and
will be identified with the house drainage
work here. Besides experimenting the
construction of the brick sewers, he will
also inspect all brick used in the work.
AS has been stated in the Morning News,
there are now three gangs at work on
the system. One gang is putting down
an S-inch pipe on East Broad street from
Liberty north, another is a work on East
Boundary from Perry street lane north,
while the third is in Perry street lane,
working from Randolph street west. Just
how far they will carry this work before
commencing on the outlets is not vet
known. 1t was expected to have begun
the outlets this week, but as the start
has not yet been made, it is probable the
contractors will put it off until next week
According to the present programme the
western outlet will be started first This
work will be more tedious than any other
and for that reason the contractors are
anxious to finish il as soon as possible
The method of laying the outlet pipe has
not yet been decided upon, but it is prob
able the bitches will be "planked" as they
are dug, instead of going TO the
expense and trouble of cofferdams
E This plan has been found quite
successful in other places where it has
been adopted, the point in its favor being
the minimum expense.
Supervising Engineer Chapman is per-
sonally directing the work. The progress
thus far has been satisfactory to him. I'm
less the contractors are delayed by some
unforeseen hindrance there is little doubt
but the work mapped out for the first year
will be completed.
