PENALTY FOR DISCHARGE.
May BE Imposed Upon Soldiers Dis
hOnOrabIy Dismissed.

hOnOrabIy Dismissed.
Maj. w. L. Grayson left last night
for Atlanta, where he will attend a
meeting to-day of the committee APP
pointed by the Governor to draft a bill
for the revision of the military laws
of the state. Maj. Grayson said that
there have been so many modifica-
tons, changes and amendments in the
bill that it is scarcely recognizable as
that which was introduced in the Leg
islature last session.
There will doubtless be further sug-
gestions and some changes at the meet
ing in Atlanta" said Maj. Grayson II
believe the bill is an excellent one and
that, if it is adopted, it will operate
to the benefit of the military estab-
lishment of the state"
In view of the fact that the COM
mittee has not yet submitted the bill
to the Governor, Maj. Grayson did not
feel inclined to discuss any of it's pro-
visions. 1t was learned, however, that
very drastic change over the present
law that is contemplated is to render
dishonOrable discharge from the
military service of the state an i'm
pediment to occupancy of a public Of
flee or position on the police or fire
department of any city. Some wanted
such a discharge to bear with it the
penalty of disfranchisement, but that
was regarded as severe, as in view of
the fact that captain of a company
might have a man dishonorably dis
charged for some offense regarded as
insufficient for the imposition of such
penalty. AS it is, this clause in the
bill will doubtless cause considerable
discussion.
Under the present law a dishonor-
able discharge carries no penalty with
it. A man so discharged from the serv-
ice cannot re-enlist in any comamnd
in the state.

MERELY IN ABEYANCE.

Plan for n ChRmbey of Commerce
Has Not Been Abandoned.
The Organization of a chamber of
Commerce has not, by any means, been
given up by the gentlemen who have
been identified with the plan. They
expect to push it to a successful con-
clusion. The matter is now in abey-
ance, having given way to the inn
mediate need for the cigar factory that
the American Cigar Company is ready
to esta blish at Savannah. There have
been about 100 favorable replies receiv-
ed from those who received invitations
to unite in a chamber of commerce.

many additions to these il the matter
We're pushed. 1t win be taken up again.

the Mutual Fidelity Company Of this
state. Jones and several others filed
a complaint some time ago, alleging
that the company was fraudulent and
asking that receiver he appointed
and efforts made to save money paid
in to the certificate holders.
The anidayits fled yesterday in
cluded an additional one from the
complainants in the suit declaring
that they had purchased certificates
of the company on representation OF
its officers and with the belief that it
was all right.

requires them TO be flied. Percy c.

dayit sets forth that he had invested
in the company with the belief that
it was all right, but that he had seen
a letter written by a clerk IN the en-
ploy Of the company, in which 1t was
stated that "Storrs is pockcting every
thing" and this "is the-7-, biggest
steal that ever happened"
Caruthers Ewing, IAN attorney of
Memphis, filed an AFFIDAVIT in which
he said that he jhad conferred with
Storrs, who is an officer of the com.
pany, and was told by S,olrs that If
a person paid in for fourteen months
and then gave notice OF the maturity
Of the certificate, he was entitled TO
tho share of the reserve fund, which
was twenty per cent. Of the amount
paid in less the first payment, and
that if a person did not do this he
was rot entitled to anything,
The company had claimed that
you could get diamonds to the value
of the full amount paid in after
fourteen months. Storrs did not ap-
pear to know how a person could be
able to get back all the money which
was paid in on a certificate.
