NO MORE ENLISTMENTS.
Capt. w. b. stephens May Suggest
New system TO Advisory Board.

NApN- w. II. NIGDnens muX SuEEekt
New system to Advisory Board.
A telegram was received from Ad-
jutant General Robertson by Capt. w.
b. stephens of Company B of the Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards yesterday,
announcing his appointment as a men,
Der of the military advisory board.
Capt. Warren Grice of Hawkinsville,
who is now representing Pulaski Coun-
~ in the Legislature, was also ap-
pointed to fill a vacancy on the board.
Capt. SteDhens was notified that
there would be a meeting of the ad-
visory board in Atlanta this morning
at 10 O'Clock. He was requested to at
tend.
on meeting several officers yesterday
Capt. Stephens discussed with them
certain changes that may be made in
the laws governing the mill
tary establishment. One is very
decided, and the officers who
discussed it with Capt. Stephens
gathered that it had his approval and
would receive his support.
This is the adjustment of the enlist
ment system. Under the present law
all men. other than officers, in the SER
vice enlist for a period of two years,
faithfully discharge duties and orders.
Formerly there were no enlistment rolls
at all, but merely company rolls. upon
which men would sign their names.
Upon an esprit de corps and interest
and enthusiasm engendered by associa-
ton this system was based, and in
some instances it undoubtedly operated
to great advantage. Capt. Stephens
was understood to favor Il reversion to
the old system. 1t was understood
from one of the officers with whom he
talked that it was his purpose to pro-
pose the change at the meeting of the
advisory board.
Three of the company commanders
were asked for their views upon this
question. Not one of them conceded
with Capt. Stephens. 1t is undoubted-
ly the case that some men are de-
TERED from joining the military by the
thought of two-years' enlistment but
it is argued that this is the sole OBJ
lection that might be urged against the
present system. while there are many
facts in it's favor.

WILL NOT BE TAXED.
That Is the View of Attorney Gem
erals Bond Opinion.

That Is the View of Attorney Gem
erals Bond Opinion.
The taxation of state, county and
municipal bonds. which, according to
the opinion of Attorney General Boy
kin Wright, is lawful, will not prove
popular. In fact. it is probable that an
act will be passed by the Legislature,
specially exempting such bonds That
is the view taken by city officials with
whom the matter was discussed yes
terday. They do not know that the
Legislature has the power to modify
the law, or to do it at this session, but
they think it should be done, and that
it will be eventually.
1t is improbable, they think, that
any demand for taxes upon bonds of
either state, county or city will be
made. Such bonds have not been taxed
in Savannah. They have not been re-
turned for city or state or county tax
alton.
II do not think that the bonds
should be taxable" said Mayor Myers
If they were taxed, it would simply
mean that they would have to bear
greater interest, ana that would be
taking the money out of one pocket
and putting it in the other Public
utility bonds should not be liable for
taxation, for no obstacle in the way of
floating them should be interposed.
Upon widows and orphans the hard
ship would fall, for it is so often the
case that bonds are bought by estates.
Business men prefer to back their
Judgment and invest in enterprises that
offer prospect of higher interest than
bonds usually pay"
Another city official said that the
adoption of such a course as the de-
cision of the attorney general leaves
open would mean that bonds would not
be bought in the state. The state, a
county or a city issuing bonds would
have to seek buyers for them outside
of Georgia.
Bonds, stocks and debentures are re-
turned to the board of city tax as
SCISSORS for taxation, but state, county
and municipal bonds are not includ-
ed. There is no way it is said, by
which the ownership of such bonds can
be established, save the sworn returns
of their holders. Upon men who make
conscientious returns. therefore, a
hardship would be wrought, while those
desirous of escaping payment of taxes
on their bonds could easily do so.

Do Business Men Think of This.

The money that you spend away from
home "never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of it's citizens?
1t saves little, if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys-
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
harm to your fellow citizens who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay, and other charges to meet
This applies to all lines of business.
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here, able to do much more
work than they are doing if they had
it to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people. as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses.
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and. indeed
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And it will do it as we'll and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah a home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find its way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it?

Jail in default of bail.
He is charged with assaulting a man
at the county farm and with attempt
ing to rescue a prisoner. 1t is alleged
that Johnson went to the farm with
several friends and endeavored to res
cue a woman prisoner. While he did
not manage to take the woman away
with him he is alleged to have raised
considerable disturbance and to have
made it uncomfortable for a while for
those who were in charge. All in all
johnson has a rather unsaVory reputa-

SAYS IT is MURDER
IMPORTANT WITNESS FOUND To
KILLING OF GEORGE POWELL.
EYES" TO BE BROUGHT BACK.
DETECTIVE CHARLTON CHARGES
MAN IN PHILADELPHIA WITH
CRIME.

County officer Bases Warrant on
Amdnvit Made by Buddy McGraNv.
New Witness Saw the Homicide of
More Than Two Years AgO-Swears
That Powell Was Not Armed
when Jesup Fields, known
Eyes" Hurled the Fatal Brick.
Believed to he Louis White, An
other Murderer, eyes" Was Re-
Gently Arrested in Philadelphia.
RequisitiOn Papers Asked for.
The discovery of an important wit
ness prompted County Detective D.
]. Charlton to swear out warrant yes
terday morning charging Jesup Fields,
alias Eyes" with the murder of
George Powell. another negro in Au-
gust, 1900.
Eyes" is under arrest in Philadel-
phia where he was picked up as Louis
White, another murderer badly want
ed in this city. The warrant sworn
to by the county Detective was for
warded to the Governor yesterday with
a request that requisition papers be
asked for. When requisition papers
have been secured for the murderer
and for Edward Regain, white man
under arrest in the same city for lar
ceny after trust, Chief Deputy Sheriff
Sweeney will leave for Philadelphia.
For killing George Powell.
The crime for which the negro Eyes
will be brought back was committed
on Harrison and West Broad streets.
Powelrs slayer made his escape and
a negro known as Toes was arrest
ed for the crime. Toes showed that
he had not thrown the brick that kill
ed Powell and was released. He told
a story too, that saved Eyes being
indicted by the grand jury that inves-
tigated the homicide. Toes declared
that Powell was armed with a knife
and was advancing on Eyes when that
individual hurled a brick at the head
of the man who had the knife.
This story is a fabrication pure and
simple, according to the witness who
has been unearthed by the officers.
Buddy McGraw, negro, says that he
was present when Powell was killed
and that the trouble occurred in no
manner like Toes related.
Struck without warning.
According to McGraw, Eyes
and Powell had difficulty
on Congress street, but no
blows were passed. Just what the dis
pute was about McGraw was never in
formed. Later he was standing on the
corner of Harrison and West Broad
streets with Powell and Toes when
Eyes came up. According to the new
witness Eyes said nothing, but threw
the brick at Powell's head. McGraw
says that Powell had not even turned
and had nothing in his hand at the
time. The new witness claims that he
ran to the side of the dead man and
that if Powell had had a knife or any
other weapon he would have seen it.
Upon the strength of an affidavit re-
lating these facts Detective Charlton
swore out the warrant that will bring
Eyes back to Savannah. The county
officers say that McGraw is a negro
worthy of belief.

AGAINST CONVICT LABOR.
Resolutions VIII he Submitted to
City Council Tonight.

The meeting of the City Council
which will be held tonight, does not
promise a great array of business.
The indications are that little time
will be taken for it's transaction.
1t is possible that the question of
the employment of convict labor will
be preached Anti-convict labor reso-
lutions are looked for from the Retail
Merchants Association and from the
mass meeting of colored people, held
some days ago. There will also be such
resolutions from the Savannah Trades
and Labor Assembly.
Resolutions opposing the employment
of convicts within two or three miles
of the city limits, by other than the
city or county authorities, will prob
ably be adopted by Council tonight
or at some subsequent meeting. 1t is
not improbable that Council will eau
upon the Legislature to enact a law
making it illegal for such labor to be
employed within a prescribed distance
from the limits of cities of $4,000 popu-
lation or more.

MINNESOTA SHOULD
HAVE 100000 COWS
Dairy Commissioner Predicts Imnnedi.
ate Increased Demand for
Butter.

There are at present in Minnesota over
100000 cows in Minnesota, which seems
ike a very large number, but Dairy
Commissioner Mcconnell saws there
should be twice that number, and until
there are Minnesota's dairy record,
however fine it appears, will be no.
where near what it should be-
He thinks dairy farmers are afraid
that there is danger of OVERRIDING the
dairy business, and as a result
they are overlooking great possibili-
ties. He figures that of this number
about 100000 are absolutely worthless,
not paying for their keep, and these he
would have killed off and replaced by
good stock. He says the increase in
the consumption of butter owing to the
oleomargarine bill will be about 1OO,-
100000 pounds, which, at the advance
In price of 5 cents per pound, means
$25,O00,OO0 annually to the farmers Of
the country. He would have Mime
sofa get its share Of this amount. He
agrees with Prof. Shaw that the prod
uct of the cows could be doubled.
THE rapid increase in population,
the vast wave of emigration now COM
ing to our Shores" says the commits
sioner, will add materially to the de-
mand for good butter, and the better
the product the greater will be the de-
mand for it.
'In 1850 we had seventy cows to
every 1000 inhabitants, and in 1900 we
had but fifty-seven to every 1000 in
habitants. This would indicate that
either the COW or the farmer is not
making the most of the opportunity.
II do not believe there is any danger
of OVERRIDING this business. Besides
the increased population we must con-
slider the constantly increasing demand
for our dairy product in foreign fields.
eve are, however, confronted by a
condition which we must meet. While
there is large and increasing demand
for dairy products, there is also an in
crease in the expense of production.
When we consider that 100000 cows in
Minnesota produce on an average less
than $50 pounds of butter when it
is possible to make them produce twice
as much, we realize that we have not
yet got down to business. I believe
that the dairymen of Minnesota can
keep twice as many cows as they are
now keeping and do it economically.
We can just as well receive $50, 000, 600
annually as one-third that amount"

PRESSED HARD.
coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring they
are glad to lend their testimony for the
benefit of others.
Mr.. G. G. Wright, superintendent Of
public schools in North Carolina, says:
my mother, since her early childhood,
had been troubled with her heart for
a number of years and complained of
that weak all-over' feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago I was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l noticed a
somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee,
and asked him concerning it, He re-
piled that it was Postum Food Coffee.
1 was so pleased with it that after the
meal was over / bought a package to
carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for, the next meal; the
whole family were so well pleased with
it that we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
had really been at times very anx-
ious concerning my mothers condition,
but we noticed that after using Postum
for a short time she felt so much bet
ter than she did prior to it's use, and
had little trouble with her heart and
no sick stomach; that the headaches
were not so frequent and her general
condition much improved. This con-
tinued until she was as we'll and hearty
as the rest of US.
/ know Postum has benefited myself
and the other members of the family
but not in so marked a degree as in
the case of my mother, as she was q
victim of long standing"

CANDIDATES TO SHOW coLoRs.
If They Are Not Committed to Clapp,
Trouble Awaits Them,

The interest of the practical Re-
publican politicians in the election of
the state ticket and the intricacies of
the state platform has been engulfed
in the anxiety of the Clapp men to
insure against the defeat Of their man
in 1905.
The senate elected this fall viii
help elect Clapp's successor. Senator
Clapp wants to succeed himself, and
his campaign is now we'll under way.
Under the primary election law 1t is
no longer easy for United States SEN
ators to make and unmake at will
candidates for the legislature as they
were enabled to do under the conven-
ton system.
Under the primary law any elector
may run for legislative Office if he is
willing and able to put up the filing
fee. A ringer candidate opposed to
the senatorial candidate might secure
nomination oyer the senator's choice
by putting in a couple of more candi-
dates and at comparatively small
cost. And the expense might be borne
by an unannounced capitalist looking
after seat in the United States SEN
ate.
The Clapp people are not overlook
ing any bets, and the situation
throughout the state is rapidly APP
preaching the stage existing year
anu d nall ago, Wnen no Two OF three
Republican legislators meeting to-
gether dared depart without falling
upon their knees and again "indors-
ing Knute.'
Every candidate for the state SEN
ate is now put to the test of loyalty
to Clapp. If he is not ready to COM
nit himself in unqualified terms, three
years in advance of the election, he
is off color, a proper object of suspi-
cion, and strange stories about him
begin to creep around his district.
The latest suspect is G. d. Belden, of
Austin, who is a candidate to succeed
Senator Sam Sweningson. Belden has
not declared himself to suit the Clapp
men, and now he is heralded as the
man selected by Sweningson to help
lay our Davis successor.
