SAVANNAHIANS ARE
INTERESTED
In Effort to Have Annual Meeting of
Georgia Bar Association Here.

In Effort to Have Annual Meeting of
Georgia Bar Association Here.
The movement to have the Georgia
Bar Association hold its next annual
meeting at Tybee, a notice of which
appeared in yesterdays Morning
News, was continued yesterday. Mai
P. w. Meldrim has taken the matter
up and so soon as he returns from
Brunswick. where he was called yes
terday, he will communicate with the
Executive Board of the association
and urge upon that body Tybees
claims for the meeting. Several 9TH
er lawyers, as we'll as a number of
prominent gentlemen outside of that
profession, have interested themselves
in the effort to have the meeting held
here and will take such steps as they
think advisable to bring about the de-
sired result.
As has been stated in the Morning
News before. one of the chief reasons
for seeking to have the meeting held
at Tybee is that Judge Alvin b. Parker
of the New York Supreme Court, and
possible Democratic nominee for Pres
ident, will deliver the annual address
of the Bar Association. The meeting
will be held the third week of June.

PASSED THE MILLION
BALE MARK.

SaVannah's cotton receipts yesterday
passed the million-bale mark for the
season of 19O2-OS. The total gross to
date is 1,OOl,4OO bales. against sO7.sss
last year.
The posting of the million-bale fig
ures attracted practically no attention
on the floor of the Cotton Exchange.
AS one member put it, Savannah has
developed into cotton market of
such Dimensions that the receipts do
not attract unusual attention. The
time was when there was great ado
ABOUT the millionth bale. Now it goes
without saying that the port is to get
a million bales sure, and the interest
Is in how many more are to come.

HAVE ANOTHER DAY
TO MAKE RETURNS.
Then Every Delinquent on City Tax
VIII he Doubled Taxed

es Will be Doubled Taxed.
Those who have personal property Of
any description and who have not
made their returns to the Board of Tax
Assessors at the City Exchange, still
have another chance to make good and
prevent the imposing of a double tax.
They must show up and be prepared
to swear to-day, however.
1t has been ascertained that the ordi-
lance governing this matter stipulates
that the books in the office of the as
SCISSORS must remain open until Jan. 81,
which means that returns can be made
to-day. Believing that yesterday was
the last one upon which returns could
be made. in the neighborhOOd of 500
citizens visited the office of the tax
assessors and kept those officers busy.
There are still some 1,j00 people who
have failed TO make their returns and
who will have to suffer the conse-
quence Of their delay unless they put
in an appearance to-day. These de-
linquents can be treated only in one
way by the assessors. A double tax
viii be imposed upon each and every
defaulter and unless the tax is paid
within the specified time the city
marshal will undertake to collect it.
OF course he will have no trouble in
doing this and in the end the delini-
quent is the only one who suffers.
The members of the Board of Tax
Assessors explained yesterday that it is
by no means a pleasure for them to
have TO impose the default penalty.
There is nothing else for them to do,
however. and rich and poor will fare
alike in this respect. 1t is a hardship
that the delinquents inhict upon
themselves and the assessors are not
permitted, under the ordinance, to ac-
cept any excuses or relieve any de-
faulter of the penalty. prescribed by or
dinance. The double tax must be i'm
posed and the city marshal must COL
lect it if it is not voluntarily paid.

SONS OF REVOLUTION
WILL HAVE A SMOKER.
Committee on Arrangement Made Its
Report Yesterday Morning.

Report Yesterday Morning.
On the evening of Feb. 5, the Sons of
| the Revolution will give their annual
function, in the form of a smoker, at
the De Soto. The committee having in
charge the selection and management
of the entertainment. composed OF
Messrs. ]. F. Minis, w. ]. DeRenne
and Pope Barrow instructed the sec
rotary, Mr.. William Harden, of their
choice yesterday morning, and re-
quested that circulars letters to the
members be posted as soon as possible.
These are being prepared.
1t is proposed to give a smoker in
stead of dinner. The dinner has been
the form of entertainment in the past,
but the committee thought that an in
noVation would be pleasing, and at the
same time less expensive. The COM
mittee is anxious for the affair to be
attended by all of the members of the
society, who may discuss matters of
general interest.
The letters will be sent out to-mor-
row. All who receive them are re-
quested to inform the secretary by the
9th inst. whether they will attend,
that arrangements may be made ac-
cordtngly. Anyone who attends has the
privilege of inviting a friend, subject
to the approval of the committee, the
expense of the additional plate being
paid by the member extending the in
vitation.
The price of plates has been mate
rally reduced. and the officers of the
society expect very large representa-
ton. There are about eighty mem
bers in the city. and the number who
attend the annual function is always
large. The occasion is the twelfth an
nual entertainment of the society.
which was formed in 1891. All of the
societies in the country have a day on
which to hold such a function, it be-
ing provided for in the general con-
stltution, but each society has the right
OF choosing the date it sees fit. Feb. 5
was CHOSEN as a suitable day for the
annual gathering of the Georgia So
clety, that being the day of the month
on which the first constitution of the
state was signed in 1777.

NEW BOARD WILL
MAKE ITS CHANGES
But Present Council Might Pension
Supt. Reilly.

The last regular meeting of the pres
ent board of aldermen will be held to-
night, but no ordinance will be intro
duced touching either appointive or
elective offices. This question that has
been agitating some of the political
minds recently will be tackled by the
new board.
An alderman had stated that an or
dinance making the places of Plumbing
Inspector Campos and Chief Sanitary
Inspector Melvin, with possibly. others,
elective and not appointive would be
offered, but the plans of those behind
the move had been changed and the
matter will not come up. until the new
board goes into office. 1t was said yes
terday that the ordinance will probably
come up at the first meeting of the
new board on Monday night.
An ordinance for the paving of Perry
lane from Bull to Drayton street will
most likely be introduced tonight.
There will hardly be any discussion on
the first reading. The ordinance call
ing for the paving of East Broad street
from Jones street to Gwinnett will
probably be read for the second time
and passed. The advisability of paving
lllS portion OF East Broad street seems
to be apparent to the majority of the
members of the board. The paving
would mean great deal for the East
Side, and would be of almost inestima-
Bile value to business interests in that
section of the city. So far as is known
now no other ordinances will be offered
and only routine matters will come up.
1t is possible that a resolution or or
dinance will be passed, placing Super
intendent of Police Owen Reilly on the
pension roll at $50 a month. 1t has
practically been agreed upon that this
will be done, and the outgoing board
may do the work. The usual routine
matters will be taken up and disposed
of by Council.
