Liquor and Cigarette Dealers Must
Register Before New Year.

Liquor and Cigarette Dealers Must
Register Before New Year.
On Wednesday the books of the
Ordinary will open for the registering
of all liquor dealers, cigarette dealers,
and dealers in cigarette tobacco.
Under the law all such dealers must
register with the Ordinary before the
first of the year. If they fail to do so
they will be indicted under the mis-
demeanor charge of conducting a bus
mess without a license. Official notices
have been sent out to all known deal
ers by Clerk Joseph Molina.
Under the law all dealers selling CT
garette tobacco must also register,
provided cigarette papers are either
sold or given away with the tobacco.
The fact that the papers are given
away and not sold does not relieve
the dealer from registering. Judge
McAlpin will see to it that the law is
rigidly enforced and indictments will
be asked against all who do not reg
lister before the first of the year.

a question of clinging to the prestige

SALVATION ARMY
DINNERS ARE READY
One Hundred and Three Baskets to
BE Distributed TO Poor.


BE Distributed TO Poor.
One hundred and three baskets, each
containing food sufficient for family
of five, will be distributed from Saliva
ton Army headquarters to-day from
IL o'clock until o'clock.0 For a month
this great work has been conducted,
and it's final accomplishment is a
source of qualification to those in
charge.
All yesterday afternoon until late
into the night the packing of the bas-
kets was carried on. The articles of
food were put into half bushel market
baskets. Each contained four quarts
of potatoes, a head of cabbage, can of
peaches, can of vegetables. can of con-
densed milk, bottle of pickles, butter,
sugar, rice, coffee, two quarts of sweet
potatoes, a pie, bread, a chicken, two
pounds of beef, oranges, apples, one
half dozen sweet cakes. Nearly all
who have been given tickets will cali
or send for their baskets, but to two
or three Capt. Hartman will have to
deliver baskets.
For the Salvation Army workers the
Mystic Shriners have provided by
sending them a ticket for a Shriner
basket. This kindness is greatly ap-
preciated by the recipients, for until
this ticket was received their Christ
mas dinner was unprovided. The day
will be observed quietly at headquar-
ters. no special services having been

THE REPAIR CONTRACTS
WILL EXPIRE NEXT MAY.
Director of Public Works VIII
Touch On Light situation.


Touch On Light situation.
In his annual report to the Mayor.
the director of public works will call
attention to the fact that the con-
tracts for the repair of all asphalt
streets in the city. with the exception
of Drayton street, will expire next
May. This will, of course. necessitate
the making of new contracts, as the
asphalt pavements wear very rapidly.
The contract for Drayton street still
has five years to run and it is be-
cause of this fact that the director Of
public works hopes to save the city
money on the new contracts that are
to be made. 1t will cost the asphalt
company almost as much TO send here
twice a year to repair Drayton street,
as it will have to do for the next five
years, as it would TO repair at the same
time all the asphalt streets. 1t is
hoped, therefore, that a cheaper rate
can be secured.
The director is also to touch on the
electric light situation in his report.
1t was his last annual report it will
be remembered. that caused so much
talk for time of municipal owner
ship. In last years report. he declared
the lights to be of the old Anticipated
pattern, the first ever used in the
United States"
He said further: They are contin-
ually going out and causing trouble
and annoyance to this department, be-
sides not giving the light guaranteed
by the contract and paid for by the
city"
This year he will merely call atten-
ton to the fact that practically the
same condition now exists as when he
made his last report

THE TWO INTERESTS
REACH NO AGREEMENT.
ThunderbOIt Trouble still Pending
in the Courts.

lHuhOcFDON AFOuDle SIIIl FenuInK
in the Courts.
The attorneys representing Mr.. Am
hos and those representing the town
of Warsaw have been unable to reach
any agreement looking toward a set
tlement of the difficulties at Thunder
bolt regarding the treasureship, and as
a result the matter remains to be
fought out in the courts. The outlined
plan of settlement suggested by Judge
Cam on Saturday last failed to bring
the two interests together.
When assured that an amicable set
tlement was impossible Judge Cam
passed on the motion to dismiss the
proceedings. This was overruIed, and
as a result the case will proceed. Mr..
Stubs, who represents Mr.. Ambos, has
yet to make his argument in response
to the action instituted by Mr.. Too
mer. Just when this will be heard
cannot now be stated. but probably
some time in the near future. The
details of the case were given a few
days ago in the Morning News.
The election of a treasurer will come
up in January next, and then it may
be that Mr.. Ambos will be officially
ousted from the position which he now
claims he holds, but which Mr.. Too
mer claims he does not. If such should
be the result, the entire case will
probably be dropped, as there will then
be no cause for action.

A QUIET CHRISTMAS
FOR COURT OFFICERS.
Government Men Will Also Make
Day One of Rest.

$1,000
Monday which will be observed I'M
der the laws of the state as the Chris
mas holiday, will be quietly spent by
the judges, clerks and other officers
of the state courts.
The day comes as a welcome respite
from the daily rush of business. the
pouring over legal documents, the writ
ing in large books of record, the list
ening to weighty arguments, and the
passing upon dry questions of law and
evidence.
Sunday which is the real Christmas,
will be quietly observed at home with
the usual holiday customs. Monday
will be strictly observed as a legal
holiday. No sessions of the courts will
be held. and the offices of the clerks
will be closed during the entire day.
Some of the officials have arranged to
spend the day hunting in nearby fields,
though the majority will spend the day
at their homes. f
At the postoffice holiday hours will
be observed in practically all of the
departments. OF all departments of
the government the postoffice has been
the hardest worked at this season of
the year, and the two days rest will
be highly appreciated, Holiday de-
liveries, with possibly one additional,
will be in effect and the usual holt
day hours will hold at the different
windows. no
The Weather Bureau will take the
morning observations and then close
for the day, unless conditions compel
the men in this department to remain
on duty. The engineering Office will
be closed for the day and business,
correspondence, map-making and sur
veys, will be LAID aside until Tuesday
morning. In all the state and govern
ment offices-in fact. the day will be
observed as a holiday. and no business,
save that which is absolutely neces-
sary, will be transacted.

WILL GO SLOWER
ON IMPROVEMENTS.
South Side Club Adopts New Policy
In Its Work.

In Its Work.
At the meeting of the South Side
Administration Club last night, the
advisory board of the club was in
structed to prepare a list of all the i'm
provements wanted by the club during
the coming year. The idea in getting
the list prepared is to determine which
Improvements are the most important,
and to fight for these first and the
others later.
The paving of Thirty-first and Thir-
ty-sixth streets to the Ogeechee road
will be insisted upon by the club lead
ers. The fight for the removal of the
Georgia Inflrmary is also to be con-
tinued. But the club realizes that with
the economical policy just started by
the CITY, as indicated in the new bud
get, it will be impossible to secure all
of the desired Improvements. For this
reason it was determined to fight for
a few at a time.
A special committee was appointed
to arrange for the big rally that the
club is to hold next Friday night. The
committee will select the speakers. and
make all the necessary advance ar
rangements.

PAMPHLET AHEAD
OF ANNUAL REPORT
MAYOR ADOPTS A NEW PLAN.
SPECIAL ATTENTION TO sTATIsTI-
CAL TABLES THIS YEAR.

In Advance of the Regular Mayors
Message, Pamphlets Containing
Shipping Statistics, Bank Clear
ings, Building Records and other
Data of Interest, VIII be Issued.
Copies Will Be Given to Trade
Bodies.
More complete than ever before will
be the statistical tables to be embodied
in Mayor Myers next annual report.
Because of this fact and because of
the advertising value to the city of
these tables, it has been decided to
have most of them published in PAM
phlet form in advance of the regular
message and department reports
Work on these tables is already we'll
advanced, so far advanced that it can
be stated positively a number of rec
ords have been broken. 1t was after
this fact was learned that Mayor Ny
ers decided to issue the tables in PAM
phlet form in advance of the regular
report. The publication of the Mayors
annual report, embracing as it does
the reports of all departments, is al
ways delayed late into the new year.
The records for year just ended
are wanted by the public in a con-
Venient form as soon after the close
of the year as it is possible to get
them, and it is for this reason that the
Mayor has decided upon the pamphlets.
Most of the tables that are to be in
Guided in the report have already been
worked up to date and will be COM
pleted within two or three days after
the year ends.
The Shipping Statistics.
The tables will he turned over to
the printer and issued as soon as pos
sible, probably by Jan. Is at the lat
est. Pamphlets will be turned over to
the Chamber of Commerce, the Board
of Trade, the Cotton Exchange and
other trade bodies for distribution, and
the city itself will issue them to the
general public.
Because of the many fine records
made during the year just ending, it
is thought the pamphlets will be of
great value to the city for advertising
purposes. Especial attention is to be
paid to the shipping statistics, both
coastwise and foreign. In the coast
wise trade, there will be an enormous
increase both in the number of YES
sells and in the amount of tonnage
handled. Though tables are not yet
complete, the number of coastwise
ships using this port this year already
exceeds the number coming here in
1903 by more than fifty.
Records Have Been Broken.
The exports in cotton, both upland
and sea island, of naval stores and of
phosphate rock will all be treated in
detail In all exports, except IN
phosphate rock, it is believed large
increases will be shown. The tables
will embrace not only the figures for
1904, but for several years back. The
bank clearings for the last ten years
will be given also.
Work on these tables has advanced
sufficiently to show that the record
for this year is far ahead of that of
any previous year. So great has the
progress been that it occurred to the
Mayor that it would be a good thing
for the city to get this information
before the public in convenient form
as soon as possible after the close of
the year.

Vessel to Visit This Port.
The new United States sship Chatta-
nooga will probably come to Savannah
early in the new year. Commander H.
S. Colding has received a letter from
Washington stating that as soon as the
ship has it's builders trial efforts will
be made to have it sent. to this port.
The builders trip is now being made, it
is thought.
Following is the letter from Con-
gresham Lester which Commander
Colding received several days ago in
regard to the matter:
your letter came to hand asking me
to request the Secretary of the Navy
to send the United States ship Chat
tanooga to Savannah on its first out
ing. The Secretary of the Navy says
it has not taken the builders trip yet
and will not be turned over to him
until it has made that trip. When the
vessel is turned over to him. he will
give the request to allow 1t to go to
Savannah consideration, and will try
and have the vessel go there"

GEORGIA CAR WORKS
ORDERED SOLD.
Private Sale 10 BE Tried First, Then
Public Auction.

The entire property of the Georgia
Car Works Company. bankrupt. have
been ordered sold by Judge A. H.
MacDoneI. referee in bankruptcy. Pri-
vate sale win be tried first and II no
bid sufficiently high is obtained the
property win be sold at public out
cry at the Court House. The order
for sale covers the eighty-one acres of
land. and all the buildings, machinery,
etc.
The matter was heard before Judge
MacDonell yesterday morning, being
brought up by the petition for sale
presented by the trustee, the Savannah
Trust Company. The trustee was rep
resented by Lawton & Cunningham.
No argument against the granting of
the petition was made by any interest,
and as a result Judge MacDonell pass
ed the order of sale
The order puts the entire business
in the hands of the trustee subject to
the approval of the referee and the
bankruptcy court. Public or private
sale is authorized. If private sale is
determined bids must be advertised for
IN at least two newspapers, and must
be in the hands of the trustee before
the first day of February. On Feb. l,
all bids will be opened and, if suffi-
GENTLY high bids have been made in
the opinion of the referee, the property
will be disposed of to the best bidder
and the result sent to the court for
approval.
If the bids are not acceptable the
property is to be offered at public out
cry at the Court House, or on the
grounds on the first Tuesday of March
of next year, and sold to the highest
bidder. The trustee is commanded to
keep an accurate account of all trans
actions, and to submit them to the
referee when called upon to do so. 1t
is probable that this order will finally
wind up the affairs of the car works,
a corporation whose existence during
the last year, has been filled with ups
and downs.
