1t is possible that, after the matter

WILL TAKE ACTIVE WORK
To Carry Election for. Reformatory
for Juvenile Criminals.

To Carry Election for. Reformatory
for Juvenile Criminals.
Considerable opposition to the estab-
lishment of a reformatory in Chatham
county has developed and the spokes-
men of this opposition are making
themselves heard. They are very much
active. in fact, than those who think
the reformatory should be established.
The inadeGuacy of the present law
governing the establishment and con-
duct of reformatories, to provide for
an institution capable of accomplishing
all the good intended for it,, the large
additional expense to the taxpayers the
members of the opposition de-
clare the reformatory would prove
to be. and the further fact that the
beneficiaries of the system would be
almost solely negro boys, are the OBJ
jections that are being most strenu-
ously urged.
The opponents of the reformatory
say that the little negroes who for the
most part would become the inmates
of the reformatory, are so thoroughly
STEPPED in the atmosphere OF vice and
crime in which they are. born and pass
their boyhood, that no reformatory on
earth could so change their natures as
to prevent their going to the devil.
To this they add the argument based
on the fact that under the present law
there can be no sentence to 'iGnprison-
ment in the reformatory for a longer
term than twelve months. They say
that the youthful criminal would spend
this space of time, not in efforts to re-
form, but in devising new mischief and
new crimes to commit when he is
finally released.
They say further that taxes in Chat
ham county are already too high. They
declare that such a reformatory as can
be established under the present law
cannot possibly do good and will be
only worthless expense.
Those who advocate the reformatory
heartily for the most part are not do
ing any very active work for it. The
result it the present indications point
to the defeat of the measure and this
will be the result unless those who
favor the reformatory bestir Them
selves actively in it's interest.
a mass meeting of colored citizens
will be held Friday night at Duffy
Street Hall to indorse the reformatory

FOR ATTEMPTED ARSON.
John Weaver WINS Held and Mrs.
BevilIe Was Dismissed.


BevilIe Was Dismissed.
Under his own statement guilty or
an attempt to commit arson, the pun
ishment for which is twenty years in
the penitentiary, John ]. Weaver was
yesterday remanded for trial in the
Superior Court by Recorder Myrick.
In admitting his guilt of the crime
charged against him, Weaver reaf-
firmed that he had BEEN employed by
Mrs. Beville to burn the house and that
he was to have received $25 for his
work, Mrs. Bevill to have been bene-
fitted by the collection of $500 insur-
ance. Mrs. Beville has since her arrest
protested her innocence of the charge,
and attributed Weaver's conduct to
animosity. She explained, and proved,
that he had endeavored to get money
from her, and that when she refused
he became angry.
The officers were unable to furnish
any evidence to corroborate Weaver's
statement and the case against Mrs.
Beville was dismissed. An effort was
made by counsel for Mrs. BeviEle to
have the officers state how they learn
ed that the house was to have been
burned, but they refused to say how
the Information came into their pos
session. Weaver, in his statement,
claimed that after he had poured the
oil on the house he changed his mind
about committing the deed and aban-
doned his purpose. This was denied
by the officers.

DOG OWNERS FINED.
Recorder DOuble-Tnxed DeIinquents
and VIII Increase Fine.


Because they were slow in paying a
special tax of 81, in the neighborhood
of fifty dog owners were fined an extra
dollar by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court yesterday.
The canine owners who were back
ward in getting badges were rather
surprised when an additional dollar
was charged for being late, but the re-
corder was firm. Not only did he in
sist that the extra dollar be paid but
made an announcement for the benefit
of those who have not yet been before
him. Those who heed the warning
Will save a dollar. while those who
are dtlatory will have to pay SO for
each dog owned during any part of
1902, even though it was only a day.
Annually many dog owners wait I'M
til they have been placed on the in
formation docket before paying the
special tax required by ordinance. In
the past these delinquents have not
been fined for their neglect, and the
list has grown steadily, requiring the
clerk of Council to do much extra work
and the patrolrnen to waste much time
in serving the defendants with notices
to appear in court Recorder Myrick
has recognized the evil as a growing
one, and by f1nfng the timid dog own
ers an extra dollar. has tried to i'm
press upon them the necessity of pay
ing up promptly.
The Recorder asked that the news
papers. warn those who have not yet
paid their tax, and who have not yet
been before him, to call on Clerk of
Council Bailey at the City Exchange
and pay the double tax of 81. He
states that in the event that this is
not done those who appear before him
next, probably Friday, he will impose
an extra fine of 81, making the total
rate for each dog 49, The Recorder
will continue to add a dollar to the
fine on each docket day until the list
Of several hundred cases has been
cleared. Those who have not yet paid
can escape with 81 if the amount is
turned over to Clerk Bailey before the
next docket day Recorder Myrick
proposes, and properly so, that the dog
TAX shall be paid when it falls due.

OBJECTED TO THE PLANS.
one-Story Buildings May Go Up in
Place of Apartments.

Place of Apartnde nts.
An application for a permit to erect
twelve one-story brick buildings on
the trust lot between Macon and Charl-
ton and Lincoln and Habersham streets
has been made to the city authorities
by Messrs. J. c. Postell and W. H.
Allen.
Some time ago these gentlemen de-
sired to erect two frame apartment
houses on the lot. They made appn-
cation to the Fire Committee of Coun-
ell. as the location Is within the fire
district, and special authority has to
be secured whenever there is anything
other than a brick or stone building
erected within those limits.
The committee demurred, not liking
the idea of frame houses. The petit
TONERS at once amended the ordinance
that had been drawn by a provision
that the houses be constructed with
expanded metal laths and cement pr
stucco, which is asserted to be fire
proof from the exterior. This ordi-
nance was introduced by the Fire
Committee at the last meeting of
Council. but an objection to the build
lngs, as proposed, has been made by
Mr.. David Wells. and the work on the
foundations which had begun. was
ordered stopped.
Capt. Postell and Mr. Allen saw Mr..
Wells, but were unable to explain to
his satisfaction that his property
would not be endangered by the cree
ton OF such a structure as they pro-
posed. Mr.. Wells made known his OBJ
lection to the Mayor, who notified
Capt Postell that the ordinance would
have to be held up to give those who
hold objections an opportunity to ex-
plain. Mr.. Wells was the only party
obJecting, Capt. Posteil said 1t is only
required that the protest of one neigh
boring property owner be filed to pre-
vent such buildings.
After figuring it out, Capt. Postell
said that he and Mr.. Allen had de-
cided they could not leave the prop
erty unimproved, and would put up
one-story brick buildings. The re-
turns they found would pay them bet
ter. as the small buildings will repre-
sent an investment of $1,000, while the
apartment houses would cost $4,000
They would prefer, Capt Postell said.
to build the apartment houses, but are
unable to construct them of brick.
Rather than let the property remain
unimproved, he said they are forced
to erect the small brick buildings for
which a permit has been asked.
The apartment houses would mean
an additional ornament to that section,
Capt. Postell said, and that is another
reason why he and Mr.. Allen would
prefer to build them.
