, would seek to divide the party in This dis
trict contribute to a hack Of harmony or
inject confusion in the workings of the
regularly constituted organization, i'm
pressing the administration with the mis-
taken idea that there is. or has been, any
lack of interest or zeal In the party SER
vice of this committee"
A resolution, introduced by ID. b. Rig
don, was adopted, congratulating the
country on the era of progress which had
succeeded the return to power IN the coun-
ellis of the nation of the Republican party,
enumerating some of the benedcent re-
suits of the Mckinley regime indorsing
President Mckinley for second term and
pledging the efforts of the committee, col
lectively and individually, 10 send a dele
cation from Georgia to the next national
convention pledged to vote for the renom-
ination of President Mckinley. The reso-
luton also refererd TO the recent death of
Vice President Hobart. All the resolu-
tons were neatly typewritteu and showed
evidences of careful preparation.
On motion, the following committee was
appointed by the chair to call the dis
triet convention after the call of the Ma
tional Convention by the National Execu-
tive Committee: ]. r. Delegal S. b,
Morse, H. Maxwell, F. r. Sims, M. J..
Doyle, r. X. Love, j. II. Kinckle. The
committee was instructed TO endeavor TO
arrange for reduced rates to delegates
The Peasants committee has been
called to meet tonight at the Duffy Street
Hall, and in all probability there will he
some warm remarks upon the action of
the Delegal committee. The Republican
politicians evidently have both eyes open
to the fact that next year is presidential
year, and that with McKlnleys renomi-
nation and election certain, as they be-
lieve, it behooves them 10 swear unfalter-
ing allegiance to the man in the White
House and to get in the game early with
the idea that there may be some redis-
tribution of the spoils as the result of the
next election

MUST CUT sLITs IN STAMPS.
Now Way of CanceIIing Internal
Revenue Ten Centers.

New Way of CanceIIing Internal
Revenue Ten Centers.
A new wrinkle in cancelling internal
revenue stamps has been provided by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
Existing regulations providing for the
cancellation of adhesive revenue stamps
by writing or stamping thereon, with ink,
the initials Of the name and the date when
attached, or by cutting and cancelling the
stamp with a machine or punch which
will affiX the Initials and date aud the
cancellation of imprinted stamps on
checks, drafts, or other. instruments by
filling out the dates and blank lines in
struments in the usual manner of draw
ing checks and drafts, or by perforating
through the stamp and paper to which ii
is attached the amount in figures for
which said instrument was drawn, having
proved inadequate to prevent frauds on
the revenue which have been, and now
are, extensively practiced, the regulations
nave been amended by providing that
in all cases where a documentary
stamp of the denomination of 10 cents or
any larger denominatiou'- shall be used
for denoting any tax imposed by the act
of June 13, 1898, the person using or afix-
ing the same shall, in addition to writing
or stamping thereon, with ink, the initials
of his name and the date when affixed,
mutilate said stamp by cutting three par
allel incisions lengthwise through the
stamp, beginning not more than one
fourth of an inch from one end thereof,
and extending TO within one-fourth of an
inch Of the other end. Where
such stamp is cancelled by cut
ting or parfoi ating in any manner author
lied by existing regulations, as aforesa d,
the mutilation herein provided will not
be required"
The provision will go into effect next

SPENCER ON THE NEW ROUTE.
southern's President Gives Informal
ton About 1t.

In speaking day or two ago of the Off
cial announcement that the Savannah ex-
tension of the Southern Railway would be
opened for tram" to-day, Samuel Spen-
Ger, president of the Southern Railway,
was quoted as follows: THE determine
ton of the Southern Railway Company
to extend its lines to Savannah was reach
ed in March last, when the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular was sold to a syndi-
cate allied with the Seeboard System, as
the Southern could no longer expect
that the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular would be operated, as
heretofore, as preferential connection
of its lines. The most logical alliance
for the Southern to seek was, of course,
the Plant System, as that system has no
interests north of Charleston. and it would
therefore be neutral in its relations with
the Southern, as compared with its other
Northern connection, the Atlantic Coast
Line Such neutrality could not have been
expected from the Florida Central and
Peninsular. The line win be opened at
the time originally fixed last spring, and
it is fully prepared to do the Florida bust
ness of the Southern as well or better
than 1t has ever been done. We bought
about fifty miles of line, which has been
put In good condition, and built thirty
miles of new railroad Immediately south
from Columbia. For the remainder of the
distance to Savannah. trackage rights for
Southern trains have been leased over the
Charleston and Western Carolina and che
Plant System tracks, including the use
of Plant System terminals in Savannah,
until the new union station in that city
shall be completed, a year hence. The
total fixed charges of the Southern for
the entire line from Columbia to Savan-
nah, including interest on cost of property
purchased or built, and rentals for track
age rights and terminals, will be S69, 600
per annum, which represents the interest
at per cent. on less than $1,000 per mile
of road This makes the extension a very
cheap, and beyond doubt, q profitable one.
BY means of it the Southern reaches the
important city of Savannah and there con-
meets most advantageously for all points
in Florida and the West Indies with the
Plant System, and through that system,
with thee Florida East Coast Company at
Jacksonville"
