ANTI-CIGARETTE LAW.
Mayor Myers Tells why He Is OPP
posed to Such a Measure.

Mayor Myers Tells why He Is OPP
posed to Such a Measure.
The passage by the lower house of
the Legislature of an anti-cigarette
law, making it unlawful to sell or give
away cigarettes in Georgia, caused
considerable talk in Savannah yester-
day. But little intimation that there
was to be such law passed had been
given, and the surprise was natural.
Mayor Myers was asked what he
thought of the measure. He replied
that he is opposed to all sumptuary
laws. THE passage of one such law
will be followed by another, until
there can be no telling where the pro-
cess will end. l consider that the old
countries of Europe afford an excel
lent example that America might fol-
low in all things appertaining to in
dulgenceS and to appetite. l know of
not single one of the important coun-
tries of Europe where there is a law
against selling liquors or tobacco, and
have never observe that those coun-
tries are any the worse for the free
dom they allow their people. On the
contrary, l will venture to say that
drunkenness and other excuses are
carried to no such extremes as in
America.
"Sumpturary laws are difficult of en-
forcement. They make error. however,
in their purpose, for those indulgences
and the appetites they seek to curb
shc'td be corrected by education. Home
influences should be such as to prevent
young people in forming a taste for
those things that some think laws ara
necessary to put down. If those gen.
tlemen in the Legislature who advocate
such measures as that for the proven
ton of the sale of cigarettes in Geor-
gia, would devote their efforts to the
improvement of those with whom they
come in contact in their particular
spheres at home, they would be far
more successful in their pursuit of the
purity they seek than they can ever be
through the passage of such laws
Such law will not stop the traffic
at which it is aimed. 1t will but serve
to train boys to the violation of the
law. 1t Will furnish them and some not
too scrupulous dealers an incentive for
the evasion of the law, and that rather
than abstinence, will be encouraged"
The Mayor said it is not as a dealer
in cigarettes that he objects to the law,
for, since the manufacture of cigarettes
has fallen to the trusts, the profits
from their sale are not such as to
make dealing in them at all attractive
to the Jobbers. AS a wholesale dealer.
the Mayor said he really would not
care If the bill should be come a law.
Supt Otis Ashmore of the public
schools has always been an avowed
and busy enemy of such dealers as
violate the state law by selling cigar
cites to minors. He has prosecuted a
number of men for the offense, and
declared yesterday that he will do so
whenever cases come to his knowledge
wherein sales have been made to
schoolboys. He did not express perfect
sympathy with the bill. however, say
ing that he thought that it was we'll
enough to have it unlawful to sell 10
minors, but that the liberties of men
might still be permitted. He is OPP
posed to the use of tobacco, but does
not consider it a habit that, in adults,
should demand legislation.

VIII So Report.
A meeting of the special committee
appointed by the City Council for the
consideration of the question Of COM
pensation for the lands secured by the
city from the Oglethorpe Investment
Company for streets and lanes in Col
linsville was held yesterday at the City
Exchange. The members of the Coun-
ell present were Mayor Myers and
Aldermen Dixon, Watson and Fripp.
Mr.. 5. B. Adams, city attorney, and
Col. w. ]. Winn, city engineer, were
also at the conference. while the Ogle-
thorpe Investment Company was rep
resented by Mr.. J. S. Collins and Mr.
Hugh Logan.
After quite a long discussion Of the
matter, it was decided that the for
mer report that was made to Council
should be amended. When that report
was made it was recommended that
$1,000 be paid the Oglethorpe Invest
ment Company by the city for the
lands, provided certain encroachments
were removed. 1t was later found that
the company could not deliver the en-
croachments, and special committee
of Council was appointed for the fur
Their consideration of the matter.
1t was agreed that the estimated
value of the entertainments the COM
pany could not deliver should be de-
Quoted from the amount, $4,000, former
ly reported, leaving $4,000 as the COM
pensation it should receive from the
city. The company agreed further to
deliver to the city $4,000 feet of land in
Collinsville that had not been bargain
ed for before.
This will be the substance of the re-
port the committee will make to Coun-
Gil. and it is probable that the matter
will be closed.

CLUB WANTS QUARTERS.
University Men Name a Committee
to Make investigation.

to Make Investigation.
The quarterly meeting of the Uni
versity Club was held last night at the
Offices of Adams, Freeman, Denmark
and Adams, Col. p. W. Meldrim, pres
ident, was in the chair.
A committee, consisting of Mr.. John
r. Young. Hon. Pope Barrow and Mr..
w. w. Gordon, Jr., was appointed to
look into the matter of securing rooms
building. Some time ago, when the
rooms in the Hussars' Club, that are
used by the Hibernian Society and the
st. Andrews Society, jointly, were fit
ted up. an effort was made to include
the University Club in the arrange
ment. but this was given up. The
plan has now been revived, however,
and a consultation with the officers of
the Hibernian and st. Andrews socie-
ties will be held by the University Club
Committee, with the view of ascertain
ing the terms upon which the latter
organization may be admitted to the
joint use of the rooms.
Meetings of the University Club have
been held for a number of years at the
offices of the law firm, the late Hon.
Brantley A. Denmark having always
manifested the deepest interest IN the
organization. Every member of the
firm is a member of the CLUB, so that
the university men have always felt
assured of their welcome. They have
thought that it would not be we'll to
wear it out. however, and there is the
further consideration of the more CEN
trail location of the Hussars' Club,
which, if d meeting place for the Unl-
versity Club, would doubtless result in
larger attendance upon it's meetings.
Seven members were elected, most
of them being alumni of the university
who have come to Savannah recently.
Mr. Walter T. Johnson was to have
read paper but was not present at
the meeting.
The Savannah morning news., 1901-10-26

This is only the second time that Moran
has been knocked out, and he took
his defeat so much 10
heart. that he wept over it
when he was taken to his dressing
room. His defeat, as his trainer told
him, was due to no fault of his. but
to the fact that he had met a better
man.
The bout was the first that has been
held in the new quarters of the Sa-
vannah Athletic Club and was seen
by quite a fair-sized audience, many of
whom congratulated the management
on its enterprise in securing a home
of it's own.
The main bout was preceded by a
preliminary in which Pete Mamie and
Walter Heron took part Mamie was
much the cleverer, so much so that
Heron quit after four rounds. Kid
Davis was to have been Manzie's OPP
ponent, but refused to go on. Referee
Zeigler announced from the ring that,
though the Kid was in the house, he
had "fiunked" and would not go on.

three bouts scheduled for November:

lahan and Lenny, for the 18th. and

John Kelly who opposed Capt. Hen

PIG votes. gave notice yesterday that
he will contest the election. Kelly
stated last night that he will consult
his counsel this morning and will i'm
mediately notify the Governor of the

of room for a contest and that he will
at least keep the Democratic victor
out of the office for little while. Kelly
is particularly anxious to have it
known that Mr.. Hartridge was in no
manner connected with his candidacy.
Kelly stated that he only saw Mr..
Hartridge after he had announced and
that he advised him to withdraw Kel-
ly's contest talk is looked at in about
the same light as was his candidacy.
The returns of the election. duly
signed by the managers, went to At
lanta yesterday and the commission
will be sent from Atlanta at the ex-
piration of the customary five days
in which time notice of any contest
