AMERICUS TAXES
PROHIBITION TEA.
Council Imposes Tax on Milder
Beverages.
DEALERS PAY FIFTY DOLLARS
ALEXANDER Shops or Places Selling
Other Stuff Containing Hops or
Malt Tonic Must Pay $50 For
Privilege.

Early this morning the proprietors
of all hoffenweis and amber shops, or
other places in Americas where such
mild liquids are dispensed, will go to
the city hall and secure a special city
license for doing business and pay over
fifty bright dollars therefor.
For council hath willed that these
places must be taxed.
At the meeting of the city council
last night Alderman Bolton, for the or
dinance committee to which the ques-
had been referred, reported in favor of
a 800. special tax.
His ordinance made it unlawful for
anyone TO sell any liqaid known as am
Der, hoffenweis, or containing hops;
also malt tonic or preparation of malt
used as beverage not in conflict with
state or United States laws, without
taking out license as prescribed in
code.
The ordinance was discussed at
some length by the solons.
Several seemed to think a special
tax of 800 too high, and when $50 twas
suggested Alderman Bolton readily
consented to the change.
The rules were then suspended and
the'ordiuauce again read and put upon
final passage. Wits this was done
there was not a dissenting vote, and
consequently the three or four places
here that sell prohibition tea" must
take out license today.
All of these places, it is said, pay a
government license of $40, but hereto
fore, for some reason, the city has new
or imposed a special tax.

THINK DECLINE WILL CONTINUE
Opinion of Well Posted Cotton Man
Here.

While some of those in the local cot
ton trade hope for an advance in the
market, and give good reasons, SEEM
ingly, therefor, others in Americas be-
Geve the price will gradually settle to
six cents basis by the time the new
crop moves. This latter opinion was
that of prominent cotton factor,
resident of one of the great Southern
cotton centres, here yesterday on bust
ness. He says ne would not be sur.
prised if the new crop touched five
cents. Only day or two ago twenty
of the largest mills in the East closed
down, throwing 100000 employees out
of work, The fight of the mills for
cheaper cotton, coupled with tho pros
pect of very large crop this year, is
having tendency to keep the market
away down.

Mr.. Rockefeller's company will pay
special license tax of $500 to do bust

for more equitable tax, in keeping
with those imposed on other dealers,
wholesale and retail, but the tax of
500 stands.
