TAXES BEING PAID SLOWLY.
Tax Collector Urging DeIinuuents

Tax Collector Urging Delinquents
to Get i'm the Game in Time.
The taxpayers of the county are not
paying their taxes with the alacrity
that Tax Collector Thomson had been
led to expect. For some reason they
have been exceedingly slow in paying
their taxes. and the tax receipts have
been very short on this account.
The state and county taxes for this
year are larger than they have been
for number of years past, and II is
for this reason possibly that the pay
ment OF taxes has been slow. There
are only two weeks longer allowed by
law for the payment of taxes, and
those who do not pay up within this
time will probably be assessed double
taxes for their delinquency. The tax
collector has been making every eff
fort to hasten the collection of taxes.
and II they are not paid in time II

WIPED OUT BY FIRE
SAVANNAH BOX AND BASKET
WORKS TOTALLY DESTROYED.
PLANT A TOTAL WRECK.
FIREMEN MANAGED TO SAVE Sew
ERAL CARLOADS OF SYRUP.

HIaze in Engine Room Developed
Into a CONFEDERATION That Swept
Into Oblivion Everything in
SiEht-Time Wasted in Efforts to
Quench Fire with Buckets OF
WATER and Nothing Could BE Done
to Save Buildings After Depart
ment Reached the Scene-SOme
Lumber and Syrup Rescued From
FIames-I.oss Estimated at From
$4,000 to $4,000.
The Savannah Box and Basket Fac
tory was completely destroyed by fire
last night The fire broke out in the
engine room of the factory and before
the fire department could reach the
scene of the conflagration had Destroy
ed practically everything in sight.
The factory was located on the Louis
Vile road, about a mile from the city
limits Though situated beyond the
limits of fire protection, the depart
ment responded to a telephone alarm,
and though nothing could be done to
quench the flames within the limits
of the factory proper, much lumber
that was stacked about the buildings
and about 200 barrels of syrup were
saved,
The fire broke out about o'oock.
The Waterman at the factory, looking
towards the engine room, discovered
that the room was ablaze and rushing
to the spot where the fire wa< raging
endeavored during the first few min
utes to extinguish the blaze with buck
cts of water This effort was entirely
Intellectual and consumed besides much
valuable time The Waterman wasted
other time in an effort to communicate
by telephone with the owners of the
property and on this account the fire
had been suffered to get under good
Roadway before an alarm was trans
mitted to the headquarters Of the de-
partment.
Chief Mcguire CHANGED to be at fire
headquarters and he ordered out at
once two companies of the depar tment.
A fast run was made to the blazing
mills, but by the time the apparatus
reached the scene every building was
ablaze and to save any one of them
was a matter of total impossibility.
They were light frame structures, all
of them and they burned like finder.
There was never a chance of prevent
ing total destruction after the flames
crept between the walls of the build
ings and began to spread. From this
time on the destruction of everything
in the immediate vicinity was a fore
gone conclusion.
The firemen turned their attention to
the lumber that was piled UP about
the buildings, to the cars loaded with
syrup that were near at hand and to
other buildings in the near vicinity
These the f1remen managed to save
but it was stiff. hard work to rescue
even this part of the property in sight
from the devouring onslaught of the
| flames.
The machinery at the factory, valued
at some hing like $1,000 or S. 900, and
the buildings in which the work OF
manufacture was carried on were en-
tirely consumed 1t is estimated that
the total loss approximates $4,000 OF
100000 Besides the buildings and ma
chinery, large amount of lumber was
consumed by the flames.

THE DECAY or our POPULAR HOUSE.

The senate and house at Washington are again II.
Illustrating the wide difference between the methods of
procedure in those bodies. and again demonstrating
that the house. supposed to be the chief popular
rer. sentative and deiberntive branch OF congress,
has come machine in the hands OF the ma
jority, Vile the senate, theoretically removed from
the people. is, in fact, the chamber in which all
shades of popular opinion find expression and in
which free and full discussion is retained
The rules Of the house reduce the minority to alb
solute heplessness Even flibustering is to i'm
possible and the speaker is parliamentary car. But
brutal the action of the majority may be most
occasions in the house. and all powerful the speaker
may be, the assumption Of the right by latter to
exercise censorship the Congressional Record
is carrying the tyranny of the popular branch" Of
congress to the extreme limit
The solldy, too with which the republican ma
jority has sustained the speaker in his hghhanded
effort to keep speech by member out of the Rec
ord until it had been reviewed and possibly "pruned"
by another member is but another illustration of the
lamentable decay of the fairness of methods and in
dependence of the house in these latter days Most
parliamentary bodies exceedingly Jealous of their
privileges and quickly resent encroachments upon
their prerogatyes by either the presiding officer or
any other branch of government, but our American
commons has become singularly Indifferent of its
own dignity rights and has degeneraed into mere
voting machine manipulated by its chief director
1t Is not the size of the house that is responsible
FOR this but the rules which it has its own motion
adopted. Much larger bodies in Europe yet remain
delberatve bodies the presiding officers nerfor,
merely perfunctory duties
The senate may carry its Senatorial courtesy" to
excess and proceed at times with exasperating slow
ness, but 1t is the only branch of congress left In
which we can now hope to see a full and fair discus.
sion of public questions and in which the minority
nave any recognition or rights, which jealousy
guards its own independence. If the senate were as
servie as the house congress would indeed become
but blind instrument for promptly carrying into ef
feet the will of the executive
