YACHT CLUB PLANS
TO ENTERTAIN MEMBERS
with Oyster Roast, Music, Dancing
and bowling Tonight.

OSStCE ANOtAHAs INAubACS OAhCtnB
and Bowling Tonight.
The first of what will probably be
series of entertainments will be given
by the Savannah Yacht Club tonight,
when all members of the organization,
their lady friends and lady members
of their families are invited to be pres
ent. The amusements will consist of
bowling, the four alleys of the club be-
ing open to both ladies and gentlemen;
an orchestral concert by Rosenfeld's
orchestra, and dancing. In addition
there will be an oyster roast, that
promises to be not the least enjoyable
feature of the evening.
The officers and stewards Of the club
are most anxious to maintain an in
terest in the club among its members
and to this end should the affair this
evening prove a success from the point
of attendance, similar entertainments.
will be given through the season, at
least once a month and possibly as
often as once a week. The known
ability of the organization in arrang-
ing entertainments leaves little doubt
that the one tonight will be an I'M
qualified success and, therefore, but
the forerunner of many others.

REGISTRATION BOOKS
WILL OPEN MONDAY.
Certificates of Registration for Lii
cense VIII BE Issued by Ordinary.

Certificates of Registration for Lii
cense VIII BE Issued by Ordinary.
The new rules which will govern the
registration of those who desire Ii
censes for selling whisky, cigarettes,
etc, for the coming year will not per-
nit a practice which has been general
for the past few years, and by means
of which the county and state has been
made to suffer loss in taxes and Ii
censes.
The books for registration in the or
dinary's office will open next Monday,
and according to the law all those who
desire to engage in the sale Of whisky,
cigarettes, pistols and bowie knives,
bicycles, or to engage in the conduct
of real estate, loan or pawnbroking
business, or to conduct packing
house or photograph gallery, will have
to register before licenses will be is
sued to them. These registration GER
tifcates, though issued before Jan. l,
are not supposed to be used before
then, but there have been many who
took advantage of them.
Instances have come up every year
where a person would go into the ordi-
nary's Office pay the required 81 for a
registration certificate and then enter
into the liquor business. After con-
Quoting his business for a period of
two or three months, he would return
to the ordinary's office and state that
he saw that he could not make any
money, and would have his certificate
revoked, and would pay no license.
This has caused no little amount of
confusion to the officials, as it was
necessary in each instance to enter in
to correspondence with the controller
general and have him cancel the regis
tration certificates, which were used
by him for drawing on the county for
the states part of the license money.
This year all of those who register
with the ordinary will be required to
pay their licenses, and they will not be
allowed to go into business without
duly meeting all of the requirements
of the law, under penalty of punish
ment as provided by the statute.
Last year there were 277 registered
liquor dealers in Savannah, 176 cigar
cite dealers, Is salary loan offices, IL
photograph galleries, % dealers in pis-
tolls and bowie knives, 13 pawnbrokers,
II bicycle dealers, and % real estate
offices.
The rule relating to registration for
licenses will be vigorously enforced
this year, and relief can only be had
by applying in person to the controller
general of the state.

RAW CORN WHISKY
ALMOST KILLED NEGRO.
Boosted That He Could Drink Three
Bottles without stopping.

AS the result of a boast that he could
drink three pints of whisky without
stopping, Joe Knox, negro, is at the
Georgia Infrmary in dangerous con-
dtion.
Without even a drop of water be-
tween drinks Knox managed to empty
three bottles of cheap corn whisky in
rapid succession in the Five Points, as
the corners at the Union Station are
known in police circles.
When Knox had drained the last
drop out of the third bottle he de-
clared that he could go three pints
more without the slightest trouble.
While the negroes in the place were
preparing to take up another collec-
tion for the purpose of buying the
booze Knox collapsed. The negro APP
peared to have been dead, but the po-
lice ambulance was summoned, and he
was hurried to the Georgia Infirmary
There is a chance for his recovery.
Several negroes were in the Five
Points saloon discussing drinking when
Knox made the boast that he could
empty three bottles of any sort of
whisky without any trouble. He de-
clared that he would wager his life on
the proposition, and the men in the
bar laughed at him. They declared
that he had evidently never gone up
against a bottle of Five Points booze,
and with one accord agreed to bet him
that he could not perform the task that
he had set out for himself.
But Knox was game. He didn't
finch when they recalled to him the
death of George Montgomery, police
celebrity, under similar circumstances
several weeks ago on st. Julian street.
Knox said that unfortunately he had
not been working and was without
funds with which to bet. But the ne
groes in the place were willing to stand
treat if Knox would do what he said
he could. and three bottles of the
cheapest corn whisky in the place were
purchased. Knox was expected to
gulp the raw stuff down without drop
ping to the floor. and when he had
finished, it looked as II he had been
able to estimate his capacity to fine
point. But Knox had hardly an
nounced that he could repeat the per-
Torrance when he fell to the floor in
a heap.

LESS THAN HALF TAXES
HAVE BEEN COLLECTED.
Unless There Is a Big Rush There
VIII BE Many DeIinquints.

Less than half of the $4OS,OOO that
the property owners of Chatham coun-
ty are due the state and county for
this years taxes had been paid up to
the time the books closed last night,
and the present indications now are
that there will be a large number of
fl. fas. issued this year.
Tax payers have been unusually slow
in paying up their taxes this year, and
the prospects now are that Collector
Thomson will have an unusually large
number of fl. fas. to hand over to the
sheriff for collection unless there is a
rush in the last few days to pay up,
similar to one experience in 1901 when
$4,000 was collected on the last day.
There is a little over 5000, 900 due the
county yet, and if property owners are
ready to pay up Collector Thomson
and his efficient force can accommo-
date all.
There are only five more days in
which to pay taxes, the books closing
next Saturday afternoon.

COUNCIL DIDN'T ELECT
A BUILDING INSPECTOR.
One VIII Probably he Chosen BY
Aldermen To-MOrrow Might.
.SS15.45OlS9O3. $50

While no building inspector was
elected by City Council at the meeting
last night, it seems almost certain that
one of the candidates named will be
chosen tomorrow night.
The aldermen were tired when they
finished their figuring, and none of the
candidates for building inspector were
even considered. 1t was stated, how
ever that there would be an election
at the meeting when the tax ordinance
VIII be taken up.
In this event one of the candidates
whose names were read at the meeting
wednesday night, viii be selected. OF
these applicants, Mr.. II. o. Young
appears to be the favorite and will
probably be elected.
