THE GUARDS GOOD SHOWING.
battalion Made IA Fine Appearance
in Wednesdays Parade.

The splendid appearance made by the
Savannah Volunteer Guards in the parade
of Wednesday was the occasion of COM
ment and applause all along the line
Everywhere this favorite corps of Savan-
nah's military was received with a Clap
ping of hands and fervent cheers thai de-
noted its popularity.
Not since before the Spanish-American
war have the Guards turned out such a
force as was shown on Wednesday. The
gray uniforms were the suDjec. of con-
slant CONNIE ndation and the applause that
they occasioned was sufficient to still the
objections of those officers Of the battalion
who have hitherto opposed them and been
in favor of a change. All of these officers
confessed. when the subject was preached
by CapS. Stephens after the parade, that
to change would be a mistake that the re-
suits would not warrant and that would
do the battalion much more harm than
good.
There Is no doubt about the fact that
the Guards received as much, if nor more
applause than did any other command In
the parade. 1t came from club veraudas
as well as from the sidewalks, and was
confined TO no class of the people. 1t was
an evidence of the fact that the entire
population of the city is taking an inter-
est in the regeneration OF the battalion
and that ere long II will have achieved
ks Old position among the military OF Sa-
vannah a position that it lost through
the response of so many of its members
to the cali of their country for volunteers
ih the last war.

WANTS DurIEs MAINTAINED.
Coll CIinch VIII Call a Meeting of
the Rice Association.

IL is probable that protest will be reg
istered by the Rice Association Of Geoc-
gia against the lowering of import duties
on products from Porto Rico, that are
raised by Southern planters. A NEE ting
of the association will be called to-day by
Col. j. II. NJ. Clinch, president. for 90
morrow at noon.
Col. Clinch considers that the farming
industries of the South and other sections
are threatene by the tariff bill pending
in Congress. He is anxious that a pro-
test be made in order that it mly lend
its weight to that carried by number
Of other agricultural Organizations and
associations that have memorialiEed Con-
gress.
In a neatly bound volume, Handsomely
Illustrated, the joint work of a dozen or
more prominent associa tons of those en-
gagged in the cultivation of rice, sugar
beets, sugar cane, tobacco and fruits, Col.
Clinch has arguments, facts and figures
that are set forth by those who seek TO
protect American industries from the com
petition of other countries, or remote and
disconnected sections like Porto Rico or
Hawaii that conditions make il impossd-
bic for them to meet. As president of the
Rice Association of Georgia, Col Clinchs s
name appears among those who have 81 gl-
ed the memorial, which is addressed to
Congress.
Col. Chnch insists that Porto Rico has
advantages that will admit of its produc-
ing tobacco, rice and sugar st a cost
American planters would find impossible
The interests of the latter, therefore, are
Involved in the settlement of the duties
by Congress. Enumerating some of the
advantages Porto Rico or other semi
tropical land has, Col Clinch dweilt espe-
cially upon the cheapness of labor. which,
he has understood, may be secured for )
cents a day. Then. too. the soil and ell
mate are such as to produce more than
one crop a year.
The attitude of Democratic congressman
and senator's, Col CHnch recognizes, Is
against a protective tariff and rather fav-
ors free trade with Porto Rico. He be-
lieves they are wrong and thinks the IN
fiuence of the Rice Association should be
exerted to prevent injury TO its interests.

but who pretended not to recognize him,
passed by without looking in Mr.. Starr
direction the man remarked in an ordi-
nary tone of voice, as if speaking 90
companion:
WHO would a though il. the great Ad-
miral of the United States navy, knocked
out by the commodore of a fleet of tubs
with one ball."
Mr.. Starr doesn't believe in keeping
good thing 90 himself, even though the
joke be at his expense.
While the crowds in town from the sur
rounding country were not large, the mer-
chants report a very good trade during
Tuesday and Wednesday. Many of the
visitors remained over to finish UP their
trading yesterday, though che streets were
rather quiet ip comparison with the pre-
vious day.
The members of the committee, which
took charge of the AdmiraPs entertain
ment last fall, when he was first invited,
and remained in charge until his depart
ure from the city express themselves as
very well satisfied with the success which
attended their efforts. Only those who
have served upon similar committees are
aware of the amount of detail and worry
to be gone through with in matters of
this kind and the members of the COM
mittee are deserving of the thanks of the
people of the city generally for the cred
liable manner in which they discharged
their selt-imposed duties. Mayor Myers
has given almost his entire time for the
last week to his duties as chairman of
the committee while Capt. D. G. Purse,
the vice chairman, it is we'll known, has
been interchangeable In his efforts for the
success of the affair. A great deal of
work also fell to the share of the other
members of the Executive Committee,
Treasurer James NJ. Dixon and Chairman
1. G. Haas of the Invitation Committee
having rendered especially valuable ser
vices. Financially the committee finds
Itself in a very fair way. Most of the
subscriptions have already been paid and
the subscribers to the guarantee fund are
not likely to be heavily taxed for their
public spirit.

OFFICERS AND MEN PLEASED.
Well Satisfied with the Military End
of the Celebration

The visiting military that took part in
the parade day before yesterday in honor
of Admiral Dewey have all left the city
for their homes. All were greatly pleased
with their stay, which was enlivened by
many pleasant events. The boys came
determined to have a good time, and the
observation of most Savannahians was
that they appeared to have it.
Not a single arrest was made by the
police, the soldiers looking out for the
regulations of their commands and being
careful to do nothing that might detract
from their records. The commanding
officers of the companies must have been
gratitied by the way their men behaved.
1t is often the case that such an occasion
is followed by carousal of the visiting
military that lands not a few a the bar
racks The expectations of any who had
looked for anyth ng of that kind were not
realized.
Local officers and men were talking
yesterday of the parade and review, which
had gone off without hitch or disorder
of any kind. Col. A. r. Lawton of the
First Regiment regarded the military end
of the celebration as well conceived and
well carried out other officers concur
red, and their pride in the local com
mands and admiration Of the visitors

the display.
The appearance OF all the troops was
good. There were some commands that
were not able to turn out as many men
as Others but these were not the COM
panes of the First Battalion. Many COM
mented upon the number each company
had in line Not a one of the five had
less than fifty, and two or three ran
above the sixty mark. Their drilling. too,
was excellent, and the Admiral comment
ed favorably upon the appearance of the
commands as they passed the reviewing
stand.
In the lead of the local naval militia was
The Naval Battalion Drum and Buge
Corps, made up of boys They met with
greet acclame ton along the line of march.
The boys had new bugles and cords, ana
their appearance and performances upon
their first parade were so entirely salts
factory that they will always be counted
upon as feature of future displays.

No Decision Yet Rendered In the
Case Against Messrs. Enrich.

United States Commi ssioner j. F. Lewis
heard argument yesterday afternoon in
the preliminary hearing granted to
Messrs. Ambrose, NJ. q. and Benjamin
Ehrlich, charged with violating the fed
eral oct to regulate commerce. No de-
cision was rendered.
The arguments before the commissioner
were made by Assistant District Attorney
Marion Erwin and Col. William Garrard
The contentious of the defendants, as OUT
lined in the argument of their counsel
were those already given in the Morning
News. It is asserted by them that there
was no criminal intent, and that when
the goods We're shipped as seed oats, there
was no real intention to disguise the fact
that they were bitters. The shipment with
this mark on the package, 1t is said, was "a
mistake of the shipping clerk, for which
the members of the firm were in no way
resDOnsihIe.

Mr.. W. W Mackali, secretary of the
board of directors of the Georgia and Ala

the terminals will be ready for use By
July !. In fact the company expects to
begin their operation by that time. The
entire system will not of course, be com

expects to have it far enough advanced

sent on with the steel work by the COM
pany that constructed 1t seem to know
1ust what they are to do, and it will not
be long before means of crossing the Sa-

have finished up the slips. There remains
some work to be done in reducing the ISL

stream, the company desiring the same
depth, twenty-six feet in the channel as
in the slips.
With warehouses going up on the island
ii will not be long before the entire view
on that side of the river will be altered.
Savannahians will miss with satisfaction
the unbroken waste that has always met
the eye in its sweep northward from the
south bluff.

Richmond where he expects to meet
President John Shelton Williams of the

TAX COLLECTORS LAST NOTICE.
Specific Taxes Must BE Paid to Avoid
Prosecution.

Specific Taxes Must BE Paid to Avoid
Prosecution.
Collector MCGOWAN publishes, as a last
notice, in to-day's Morning News, a list
of the occupations or businesses for which
the parties engaged therein, are liable TO
state special taxes for 1900.
Under the law any person engaging in
any business liable to special tax, must
register with the ordinary and pay the
tax to the tax collector before commence
ing to do business. If he fails to register,
or to pay the tax, it does not matter for
how brief a period he may have been en-
gagged in the business, he is liable to pros
ecution under the law making such omis-
sion a misdemeanor.
On looking over his list of parties liable
to these taxes, Collector MCGOWAN finds
that there are still a number in default,
in spite of the fact that nearly three
months of the year have gone by.
The tax collector does not wish to be
hard upon those who have not yet paid
their taxes, and therefore gives this last
notice, before issuing executions against
the delinquents, notifying the Controller
General and reporting their names to the
solicitor general for prosecution. The
law leaves the tax collector no option in
this matter Besides regular dealers in
spirituOus and malt liquors, all druggists
who sell intoxicating btters, are liable
to the liquor tax as are also all persons
who sell brandy-fruits.
Among the other occupations taxed are
dealers in futures" of all kinds, includ-
ing stocks and bonds for future delivery
agents or firms negotiating loans and
dealers in cigarettes, the tax on whom
was only introduced last year.
