COUNTY WILL SUE
COMMISSIONERS AUTHORIZE IN
sTITUTION OF PROCEEDINGS FOR
$4,000 WORTH OF LAND
FORMERLY BOUGHT IN BY COUNTY
AT TAX SALES.

Suits Will Be Instituted in Superior
Court by County Attorney George
II. Cann-PrOperty Owners VIII
BE Called Upon to show Cause
why County Should Not Come Into
Possession of Its HOIdinRs-UnIes
Proper Showing Is Made County
VIII BE Declared the Owner.
In the next few days County Attor-
ney George T. Cam will institute pro-
ceedings for the possession of $4,000
worth of Chatham county real estate,
which has previously been bought in
has never been redeemed.
The suits will be instituted in the
Superior Court, where all litigation
concerning land is heard. There are
many persons against whom the suits
will be instituted. The law has always
allowed the procedure but the board
has not availed itself of its rights.
The petitions will be brought in the
name of the commissioners of Chat
ham county, and in them the delin-
QuCHl ldA payers Will NC NdAlSu OPOh
to show cause why their property
should not be confiscated.
Some of the property is very val
liable. 1t is probable that few of the
property owners will respond to the
suits instituted against them, since
they have all been notified time and
again of their Indebtedness. In each
case a rule nisi will be issued by Judge
Barrow calling upon the party to
show cause why his land should not
become the property of the county.
All of the land was sold prior to
Dec. 81 1901. Under the law persons
not paying their taxes within the time
prescribed are liable to double tax. If
the taxes are then not paid, fieri ia
ciases are issued, and the land is sold
at public cutlery. In the event the
county buys it at the sale, it is re-
quired, under the law, to hold 1t for
year, at the expiration of which time,
if it is not redeemed, 1t becomes the
property of the county, upon applica-
tion to the judge of the Superior
Court.
County Attorney Cam was author
lied by the County Commissioners at
their meeting yesterday to institute
the suits. 1t will perhaps be a week
or more before they are filed since,
because of their number, their prepa-
ration will entail much work 1t is
too late now to file suits for the June
term, so that the cases will be return
a BILE to the December term.

Mr.. Robert Reidel has been awarded
the contract for the erection of brick
residence for Mr.. S. P. Kehoe, on the

The first story will contain parlor,
dining room, reception hail. stair hall,
kitchen, pantry. store room and back

delegates proposed Montreal This met
with a number of seconds, but before
the motion was put, another delegate
suggested that because of the st. Louis
Fair, the convention be held in some
city near St. Louis, so that the dele
gates may attend the convention and
visit the fair on the same trip.
The whole question was finally left to
the decision of the president and the
Executive Committee. and the same
course was taken with the question of
the time for this meeting. 1t may be
several months, President Newton says,
before these matters are settled.
The meeting was closed after frater-
nalities, as a number of short addresses
from various speakers are called.
Among those who spoke were Messrs.
Bumpas, Dennison, Papy, Garner and
Bugg. After the adjournment the dele
gates all crowded around the new Of
ficers and warmly congratulated them.
Before the business session had
closed however. resolutions in memo
riam were adopted for the six former
members of the association who had
died since the meeting of 1902.
A committee also was APP
pointed to consider the matter of a
change in the voting power of the as
sociations. and the Committee on
Courtesies prepared resolutions thank
ing all persons, firms and corporations
that have extended courtesies to the
members of the association.
Tho Visit TO Tybee.
The trip to Tybee and the tour of
that island formed probably the most
enjoyable entertainment that was
given the guests during their stay.
Some 300 agents, their families and
friends left the city at $3.50 o'clock. and
returned about 11'30. The first stop
was made at Fort Screven, where.
through the courtesy of the several
officers, the visitors were taken all
over the fort and grounds and every
thing of interest connected with the
place. shown and explained to them.
The chief attraction of the island,
however. was the chance for a dip in
the surf. So great was this attrac-
ton that quite number of the pas
sengerS declined the visit to the fort
that they might the sooner get in the
ocean. The tide suited admirably,
good surf was on, a gentle breeze
made things pleasant in fact, the
conditions were ideal for the visit and
it was enjoyed accordingly.
AS the afternoon waned the surf was
deserted for the pavilion of Hotel Ty-
bee and dancing was enjoyed until sup
per time. Supper was served at Hotel
Tybee and was partaken of by 300 or
more guests. The menu was an excel
lent one and this part in the days pro-
gramme was not the least enjoyable
of it.
After supper dancing was resumed
and continued until the 900 train left
for the city. The majority of the
freight agent contingent returned on
this, though some of them remained
for the midnight train. The unanimous
opinion of the delegates and other visi-
tors is that Savannah has treated them
right royalty. and they have taken
every opportunity to say so.
