recent decision Of the Supreme Court in
the matter of The taxation Of covporati ions

go to attend a conference called by Con-
troller General Wright to discuss this SUD

Those in the party are County Attorney
j. r. Saussy, representing the county:
MIR. B. A. Denmark, representing the rail
roads; Mr.. George w. Tiedeman. repre-
senting the building and loan associations
and Mr.. Horace A. Crane, repress nting the
banks. With the exception of the street
railways, almost every local interest af-
fected by the Supreme Courts decision
is represented by one or the other of
these gentlemen. some of whom, indeed,
are interested in several of the enterprises
whose profits would be seriously curtailed
should they be required TO pay back taxes.
The meeting of The County Commission
ers OF the state, to consider this question
of back taxes. that the Supreme Court has
virtually decided are due and co..ectioie,
was called some time ago. The letter Of
the Controller General stated that it was
expected that ways and means Of collect
ing these taxes would be discussed and
that it was hoped that some arrangement
could be made that would simplify and
expedite matters q great deal and not
make separate suits against the many cor
porations in the various cities and coun-
ties of the state an essential. These suits
would be very numerous. should il be
found necessary to bring them. and II is
earnestly hoped that this prospect of ,ong,

The gentlemen representing the Savan-

Atlanta by 81 milarly constituted corporate
representatives from the other cities and
towns of the state, and win appear before
the meeting of the commissioners. over

Attorney General Terrell will also De pres

BATTALION PARADED.
Had a street Parade and Battalion
Drill and Parade.

The principal military feature of the
day was the parade of the First Battalion
of the First Regiment Infantry. Many
witnessed ii from all along the line of
march, and, on the whole, it was judged
very successful.
The battalion assembled at the armory
at S:45 O'Clock under command of Capt.
p. F. Gleason of the Irish Jasper Greens.
In ranks were the Oglethorpe Light In
fantry, the Savannah Cadets, the Republi-
can Blues. the Irish Jasper Greens and
the German Volunteers The Oglethorpes
were commanded by Capt. G. A. Gordon
the Blues by Capt. w. L. Graysoh. the
Cadets by Capt. j. T. West, the Greens
by Lieut.. T.. A. Leonard and the Germans
by Capt. c. II. Konemann
Before 4 O'Clock the column was on the
march, each of the companies having turn
ed out very fair crowds. The Blues and
the oglethorpes led in The number OF men.
each having more than sixty. Had the
weather been better there would probably
have been even more out for the parade.
The march, with the band leading, was
on Abercorn street to CASTOR, to Drayton,
to Congress, TO Barnard. TO BrOugh ton,
TO Bull to Castor, to Draytoh. to the Park
Extension. The pavement were lined with
spectators, and the general comments were
of praise, the appearance of the men and
their movements winning kind words. A
comparison of the parade with one a year
ago, before the commands had been re-
organized, would have been highly favor
able TO that of yesterday.
on reaching Inc Park Extension a short
battalion drill was had. The crowds had
followed the troop to the grounds, and
the efforts OF the detail OF police were
necessary to keep the masses pressed back
to admit of sufficient room for che ma
neuvers. Several of the more simple
were executed very creditab.y. the drill
OF last Monday night having familiarizod
officers and men with their duties.
Battalion parade followed the drill. This
is an interesting ceremony that was OBJ
served for the frst time by Savannah
fans since the departure of tho troops tina,
were here in the United States service.
The parade Is held so seldom that the bat
talon IS a triGe green in il, yet IL was
executed without serious fault Upon its
conclusion the companies were marched
by their first sergennts to their quarters,
where some were served with refresh,
ments.

HUSsARS WENT MOUNTED.
To Cook Their Own RatiOns at Mr.
SiIverberg's Place.


The Georgia Hussars spent the day in
the saddle. The troop was formed at the
armory in sufficient time to get away ut
10 o'clock, when the march was taken I'D
for Trooper Silverberg's place, near Bur-
roughs eight miles away.
The troop was divided into three de-
tachments for the trip. One was under
command of Capt. Henry McAlpin.
another under command of Lieut. c. A.
l.. Cunningham and the third under COM
maDd of Lieut.. w. w Gordon, Jr Each
detachment took a different route 10 unite
al point not far distant from the destin-
alton. The union was effected as pre-ar-
ranged, Capt McAlpin then taking COM
mand of the troop.
On the march various troop movements
were executed. The opportunity was a
fair one for the perfection of the men in
certain details, and Capt McAlpin. upon
the return to the armory. found occa ion
TO compliment them upon the improve
ment they had shown.
When their destination was reached the
horses were picketed, and the Hussars
were issued rations that they were to pre-
pare for themselves. Each squad had
mess and the cooking proceeded in fine
style. The results were not equal to what
might be expected of Delmonfco's chef,
yet most of the men, with the aDpe lite
given by their long ride through the
sharp air, were able TO dispose of their
share.
Two or three hours We're spent at Mr.
Silverberg's, and the troop then made its
way home On arriving in the drill yard.
the troopers unsaddled their own horses
and cared for their equipment, an inno-
walton that Capt. McAlpin has insisted

spend the day an recreation or any of the
forms agreed upon as commemorative of
Washington, were able to do so without
discomfort by clothing themselves
warmly.
The banks and public Institutions gave
their employees holiday. Many business
houses either closed for the entire day
or for the forenoon, thereby giving their
employees opportunity to participate In the
military observances or to spend their
time as they might choose. The schools
were also closed and the children We're

No railroad in the United States offers
as fine an opportunity for study of the
