The Christian Church is soon to be
improved and alterations made on the
building that will add to it's convent
ences and appearance
An addition will be built to the room
facing on Howard street, and an en-
trance made from that side. The in
terror of the church is to be improved
and beautified.
The past few months have witnessed
many accessions to the church, and it's
steady growth is a source of pride to
its members. Rev. A. r. Miller has
worked zealously for its upbuilding
during his pastorate, and the results
of his labors are shown in an in
creased membership and a deep gem
eral interest in it's affairs on the Part
of members. Mr. Miller conducted the
morning and evening services yester-
day, both of which were largely at
tended.

Tax Receiver Marcus 5. Baker Satur-
day Under the law all who have not
made returns of their property are liza
BILE to the payment of double tax.
The tax receiver, however, DESTROYS
Of accommodating the delnquents,
many of whom have excuses for their
failure to make returns within the
time prescribed by law, will open
supplemental list.
1t will be opened this morning, and
will be closed on Saturday afternoon.
The tax receiver notifies all tax pay
ers who have not made returns of their
polls or properties that Saturday, the
9th inst. will be the last day of
grace.
The opening of the supplemental list
is made by the tax receiver on request
of a number of property owners. The
action is taken by him at a great sac
rifice of his time, since the work of
writing up the digest which ordinarily
occupies two months must be finished
by Aug. l, at which time it is required
by law to be in the hands of the con-
Troller general.
The preparation of the digest will be
begun to-day. Owing to the fact that
the return of property has been much
greater this year than heretofore the
work win entail more work. and the
limited time will necessitate steady
and rapid work. For this reason it is
desired that those who wish to take
advantage of the opening of the sup
elemental list, will do so at once.
The return of polls has been so
per cent. smaller than last year. When
the books closed Saturday there We're
less than 1000, out of a total of s.
900, who had made their poll return.
Despite this falling off, the closing
of the books records the high water
mark in the return of property, the
values this year aggregating in the
neighborhocd of a million dollars more
than last year. AS stated in the Morn
ing News, Mr.. Baker expects the digest
to show an increase of nearly 8 per
cent. This estimate is made from OBJ
servation and comparison.
The increase in values will have its
effect both upon the state and the
county tax rate, and if other counties
show such increases as has Chatham,
the result WIFI be a material decrease
in the state tax rate.
Both the state and county tax rates
were lowered last year. the latter now
being $3.50 per $1,000 1t is conserva-
lively estimated that the rate will he
lowed to $40. and it may go even
lower than that. The outlook is that
the state rate will be lower, so that
with a material reduction of each the
tax payer will have cause to be thank

JUMPED FROM TRACK

Boy Was Eating BIacLberries and
Didn't Hear Bell.
Walking on the tracks of the Savan-
nah Electric Company near the For
est City Gun Club and eating black
berries from a tin bucket, an unknown
white lad had a narrow escape from a
horrible death late yesterday after
noon.
But for the screams and shouts of
frightened passengers on a city bound
trolley car the boy would have been
knocked down and ground under the
wheels of the car. The cries of the
passengers attracted the attention of
the lad who jumped from the track not
a moment too soon. The changing of
the bell, and the frantic effort of the
motorman to make the boy realize
what was happening would have
counted for nothing.
The boy had been picking blackber-
rles and had his tin pail we'll filed. He
was unconscious of the danger and
seemed to be enjoying the berries that
he had gathered. The motorman sound
ed his gong and the passengers at first
thought that the lad was simply pre-
tending to be unconcerned. They saw
their mistake however, when the car
was almost upon the boy. There was
trailer attached to the large open car

SUMNER DUCKS
TO BE PROTECTED.

Local gunners are very much exer-
cised over what they claim is a wan
ton slaughter of summer ducks which
they state is daily going on.
This is the breeding season of this
fowl and it builds it's nest in this VI
cinity, and brings forth one or more
broods during the summer months
From March until September, to shoot
this bird, means the loss of a nest of
eggs or possibly brood of young
ducks. therefore the sportsmen want a
Dill passed that will protect the ducks
during the spring and summer
The matter has been agitated lately
and both Mai. j. Ferris Cam and
Mr.. K. j. Davant have Interested
themselves in the matter with the re-
suit that a bill prescribing the need
ed protection may be passed at the
coming session of the Legislature.

NEW TRAINMASTER
FOR THE CENTRAL

A change in the operation of the
third division of the Central of Geor-
gia will be made July / when a train
master will be appointed with head
quarters at Albany. He will have
charge of all trains from that point
to Sellersville. Florala and Montgom-
cry. Fl. b. Parish will be the new
trainmaster.
The third division is the longest of
the Central, extending from Macon to
Florala, some 500 miles, including the
branch roads. The large and increas-
ing traffic over the line has made the
appointment of trainmaster at Al
bany necessary, it is stated.
1t has been rumored recently that
the Central Of Georgia intends to
build connection from Florala, Ala.
TO Pensacola, Fla. President Egan
states. however, that there is no truth
in the story.
All the railroads entering Savannah
are advertising extensively their Julv
4 rate of one and one-third fare for the
round trip for all points to and from
Savannah, and this will result, Mr.. w
H. Leahy thinks, in bringing to Savan-
nah on that day between $500 and
S,OOO people.

tendent of the Central Of Georgia, with

ALL EUROPE AGAINST SULTAN.
Joint Note Demanding Certain Re
Forms in Turkey Given Indorse-
ment OF All Powers.

Paris, Feb. 20.-The Russian foreign
municated to. the French government
the fact that Russia. received Wednes-
day the last of the adherences of the
European powers to the joint note to
Turkey on the subject ofreforms, thus
making the action of the powers nan
imous. He accordingly directed M. Zinc
vief, the Russian ambassador at Con-
stantinople, to proceed in company
with Baron Won Calico, the Austrian
ambassador, to the sultan, and pre-
sent the joint note Thursday. 1t was
at first intended to present the Aus
trian note first, blu this was reconsid-
cred in order to give added force to the
joint, personal presentation. It vas
also desired to III the full adher-
ence of Germany, which was some
what conditional at first. The unan-
imous action decided upon Wednesday
includes that of Germany. The note,
as finally framed, strikes out all refer
ence to Macedonia, as it was consid-
cred that the designation of one part
of the country by name would increase
the an~ti-foreign agitation which the
powers are seeking to check. The
note is generalized so as to cover the.
localities where Christians reside, the
only locality specified being three, vii
|lages in northern Turkey, in which
most of the Christians reside. The
protection of the Lives and the com
plete safeguarding of the. interests of
the Christians form the chief features
of the note.
