Although Hazel agrees with almost
every other statement made by the

he was first fired upon by a negro

He says that while this duel was go

AFTER REAL ESTATE AGENTS.
Tax Collector Issues Circular Re-
minding Them of Special Tax.

Tax Collector Thomson is having
some trouble with renting and real es-
tate agents who have not paid the spe-
cific tax required of them by recent
enactment of the Legislature. in or
der to remind them more forcibly of
their duty he has prepared circulars
which he is to-day sending to the vari-
Gus parties who are subject to the tax
There are a great many people, he
says, who are avoiding the payment of
the tax, but there are also many who
are not aware of the fact that they
are subject to it. 1t is a new thing,
and hard matter to get around to all
of the different parties and inform
them of their liability, especially since
there are a thousand and one other
classes of business men who are sub
ject under some part of the tax law.
The text of the section and para
graph which relates to renting and
real estate agents is:
Upon every person or firm engaged
in the business of buying or selling
real estate on commissions, or as
agents renting real estate, the sum of
ten dollars; and if such agent shall
engage in auctioneering or selling
property at auction sales, he shall be
required to pay the tax required of
auctioneers by Paragraph of this Sec

TURNED IN FALSE FIRE ALARM
For Which Somebody Will be Ar
rested, IL Found.


Fire Chief Mcguire and the men,
bers of the police force are endeavor-
ing to find the party who used a pri-
waite fire key last night about 6:45
o'clock and turned in a false alarm of
fire from box No. 212. at OFT and Gwin-
nett streets.
Who turned in the alarm is not
known though Chief Mcguire has the
key which was used and the name of
the person to whom it was issued, and
he will endeaVOr to trace the key from
the person entitled to hold 1t to the
one turning in the alarm. All fire
keys are numbered and when one is is
sued by the chief of the fire depart
ment to a citizen, the number and the
name of the person to whom it is is
sued are entered in a book so that the
key can always be traced and the
holder held responsible for its abuse
or use.
When a key is inserted in a fire
alarm box it is locked in the door and
can only be released by the chief Of
the fire department or by some one
with a release key. By this means the
authorities can always know whose
key was used. The chief has the key
used last night and will trace it from
the authorized holder to the one turn
ing in the alarm, which can easily be
done unless the key had been lost or
stolen.
The turning in Of false fire alarm
is made a serious offense in nearly
every city of the country, as such an
act not only endangers the lives CT
citizens, but that of the firemen and
horses, to say nothing of the possible
damage to apparatus and vehicles on
the street In SnCh alarm
are sent in by boys, who either find
Or steal key, Just to see the firemen
turn out and go dashing through the
streets

NAVAL RESERVES SUBSCRIBE

At meeting of the Naval Reserves,
held at their armory last night, let
ter from Miss Louise DuBose, of Athens,
asking for a subscription for the
silver service fund for the battleship
Georgia, was read. Ten dollars was
taken up in cash, with promise of
additions to the fund in the near fu-
ture.
The meeting was largely attended and
great deal of enthusiasm was man
ifested. The usual quota of new men
was enlisted in the new division, and
indications are that the Undertaking to

will be attended with even greater sue

WILL CONDEMN ROAD
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL DE-
CLARE WEST END
ROUTE is OF PUBLIC UTILITY.
TRANSFER OF sKIDAwAY ROAD TO
BE ALSO EFFECTED.

At March Meeting of County Com
missiOners This Afternoon Numer-
GUS Matters of Public Interest Will
BE Trnnsacted-COntra for
County Supplies for the Quarter
VIII BE Awarded-COmmitte on
budget VIII Present Their Esti-
mate of Expenses to the Board
Soon.
The March meeting of the County
Commissioners will be held this after
noon. There are several matters of
importance to be passed upon and it
is probable that the meeting will be
a long one.
Probably the most important mat
ter will be the decision of the board
on the opening of the new west end
route. That the proposed route will be
declared of public utility and the or
der of condemnation issued there is no
doubt. The evidence and argument was
had at a special meeting of the board
a short time ago, and the decision OF
the commissioners was reserved. The
legal objections of the abutting prop
erty owners will also be overruled.
The question of the damages result
ing to the property, as set forth in the
various petitions filed, will be taken
up later. AS the promoters of the pro-
ject are anxious to get to work as soon
as possible, it is probable that this
will not be long.
SI<idaway She'll Road.
Negotiations between the county and
the Skidaway Shell Road Company for
the transfer of the Thunderbolt shell
road will be closed at this meeting.
County Attorney Cam has examined
the title to the property and drawn up
the necessary papers. The road has al
ready been thrown open to the public,
and as soon as the transfer has been
completed, the county will turn its at
tention to repairs and improvements
on the highway.
The Committee on Budget, consist
ing of Commissioners Moore. Wylly
and Paulsen. is preparing the budget
of estimated expenses. Under the law
this must be presented to the board in
time to have it, in turn, referred to the
present grand jury The grand jury
will approve it and send it back to
the board. 1t is rarely that the grand
Jury makes any changes in the esti-
mate made by the board, except in the
case of education.
Contrast to be Awarded.
Contracts for county supplies for
three months, beginning April /, will
be awarded. The bids will be closed
at II m. to-day in the office of the
clerk Of the board Blank applications
may be had at the office. The articles
Tor which the contracts will be award
ed are salt meat and fresh meat, oats
and wood and coal for cbaingang,
Court House and Jail.
1t is not probable that the petitions
of the hospitals for increase appro-
priation will be taken up at the meet
ing this afternoon. 1t has been referred
to the Committee on Budget, and I'M
less they report, nothing will be done
in the matter
There will be other matters to come
before the board, and it is probable
that the meeting will be an interesting
one. All of the commissioners, except
Commissioner Vetsburg, who is out of
the city, will be present

Local Candidate to be Nominated
to Make the Race.
The officers and members of the Sa-
vannah Uniform Rank of knights of
Pythias are caucusing to nominate a.
candidate for the brigadier general
ship of the state to be elected at the
meeting of the Grand Lodge in Atlanta
next May to fill the office made vacant
by the death of Brigadier General r.
F. Harmon. o
A caucus of the field and line officers
in the city was held a few DAYS ago
with view of centering upon some
man but as the meeting was not fully
attended and it is desired to go into
the election with a solid front nothing
definite was done, it not being known
just what the exact wishes of every
officer was. Another caucus will be
held shortly and a candidate probably
nominated. If Savannah goes into the
race 1t is safe to say that they will
bring the office back to this city.

comment and the visiting physicians
