BARBER SHOPS MAY
OPEN CAUTIOUSLY.

AS result of the recent opinion ex-
pressed by Mayor Myers to the effect
that there is no city ordinance clos
ing barber shops before II o'clock Sun
day morning, it is said that some of
the shops which have been heretofore
closed will open to-day, all of them
rather cautiously. There is a state
law to be reckoned with and the fear
of this will deter some who would
otherwise keep open.
A few barber shops have been open
all the time on Sunday morning by
a side entrance, and these, of course,
will continue to do business. The
larger shops which have been closed
will still be closed as an agreement
was reached some months ago by the
BARRIERS to the effect that shops should
stay closed.
Those who open will likely get into
trouble" said one barber last night.
There is a state law against keeping
open on Sunday, and it is likely the
aid of this statute will be invoked by
the BARRIERS who are willing to stay
closed. I hardly think any shops will
run the risk of an encounter with the
state law by keeping publicly open in
any event"

WATER MELON WAGON
CRUSADE STARTS,
Mayor and Marshal Had Conference
Yesterday About II.

NeSNeTOAy ABOUT Ats
After comforting with Mayor Myers
and Alderman Dixon, the chairman of
the Finance Committee, City Marshal
Dreeson yesterday decided to begin his
crusade against the watermelon wag-
ons Monday.
All of them that can be caught to-
morrow without licenses will be taken
in charge and carried to police head
quarters, where cases will be docketed
against them. The tax for water
melon wagon this year is 500, or $50
for half year. At least the tax on
a fruit or vegetable wagon is that.
"a watermelon wagon is certainly
either fruit or vegetable" the Mayor
told the marshal II am sure I don't
know which. But I have no authority
to reduce the tax. Go ahead and col
lect, or make cases."
Some two or three have taken out
licenses, but there are a number of
wagons being used in peddlng the
melons. The crusade will be started
tomorrow morning
1t is not the desire Of the officials
to catch anyone unawares. They want
every one to know that the tax will
be enforced. and those who cannot
pay had better stay off the streets
from now on.

The searchIight.
Look before you leap
The ditch may be deep.

Cut this out and when canvassed for
life insurance ask the agent the ques-
tions given below. If he cannot say
yes to each, his company's policy is
not as liberal as the policies issued by
the Massachusetts, Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, under which a policy
holder enjoys all the privileges that an
affirmative answer indicates.
Can the policy be surrendered for
cash on any anniversary after the sec
ond? Are the cash values for each
year written in the policy? Does the
policy, in case of failure to pay a prem
lum after three annual premiums have
been paid, become binding upon the
company as a paid-up insurance, with
out any action on the part of the in
sured? Are paid-up values for each
year written in the policy? Does the
policy participate in annual dividends?
In case policy lapses through nom
payment of premium, and becomes
pald-up for 500 or more, does it par
ticipate in dividends? Can dividends
be used each year to reduce premium
payments? Or, if desired, to buy adj
ditions to the policy? And If used to
Euy additions, can these additions be
surrendered on any Anniversary of the
policy after the second? If preferred,
can dividends be left with the company
to accumulate at compound interest?
Can the whole or any part Of the sums
so accumulated be released at any
time, and withdrawn in cash or used
in payment of premiums? Does the
policy contain an agreement to loan?
IL loans are made, may they be for as
much as 80 per cent. of the cash value?
Are all restrictions on travel and resi-
dence removed after two years? If the
lnstalllnent feature in paying losses is
offered, is the applicant given several
options to choose from? Is there a
provision for grace in payment of
premiums? Is there provision for re-
instatement of lapsed policy within
five years from date of lapse? Is ex-
tended term insurance granted in case
of lapse? If so, has such extended
term insurance a cash surrender value,
and does the policy participate in an

page S42-4, held that this act was re-
pealed, though in that case Fulton
county had paid veteran who had
lost both eyes 800 per year, for more
than fifteen years. including 1895. The
court held that the will of the people,
expressed in the organic law was para
mount, and however much the Judges
would have been pleased to ratify such
payment to this deserving veteran, the
constitution forbade it, and that ended
it.
And yet, on oct. s, 1885, the General
Assembly passed an act amending the
said act of March 3. 1875, by striking
out the words that he has not more
than $1,000 of taxable property" which
act was void and unconstitutional as
soon as passed.
Since 1877. the General Assembly has
passed number of acts, tending to re-
lieve Confederate soldiers from bust
hess taxes.
These acts permitted INDECENT or dis
abled Confederate soldiers, as well as
soldiers of Seminole. Creek, Cherokee

without paying license, and exempt, #
photographers, or those over fifty years
of age, who were travelling insurance
agents from paying business tax.

RETURNS PROBABLY
SHOW SLIGHT INCREASE.
Tax Receiver Baker Believes This
Year Better Than Last.


Despite the fact that there was an
unusually heavy increase in tax re-
turns last year over the year preced-
ing, Receiver of Tax Returns Marcus
Baker believes there will be a slight
increase again this year.
AS yet no estimate can be made as
far as figures are concerned. but in
Mr.. Bakers opinion the returns have
at least held their own with last year,
and have probably bettered the show
ing slightly.
Though I cannot give any figures
for a month at least" he said, Il be-
lieve there will be a slight increase
over last year. I have noticed nothing
to indicate a falling off, and while there
are no large increases, yet there is
apparently a general increase all
around.
Last year the heavy increase was
due to the establishment of the Sa-
vannah Trust Company and the large
manufacturing plant just outside of the
city. Then, too, the banks did large
business, and this brought the returns
up considerably.
This year we were handicapped
somewhat as far as showing is con-
cerned by the going out of business
of the Savannah Grocery Company
and several other concerns. Then, too,
there were no new large industries, or
trust companies, established to help us
out. The banks, owing to the general
tone of the markets, have also fallen
off somewhat in business. Despite
these drawbacks, however, l believe
the general increase has been steady
and consistent enough to make our
showing as good as last year and
probably a little better"

FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER

ANSO oHS nell
my Near Lincoln Park.
For assault with intent to murder,
Percy Young, the negro charged with
shooting Kolloch Helmy, was yester-
day remanded to the Superior Court
by Recorder Myrick.
Young denies that he fired the shot
and says he was in a store at the time
the shooting took place. The shooting
was in the public road near Lincoln
Park.
There were eye witnesses, however
to testify that it was Young who did
the shooting. The negro is we'll known
to the police, having been in trouble
repeatedly. He was arrested only
about month ago on similar charge
because of another shooting affair, but
he could not be convicted.
Mr.. Helmy, who was shot in the
arm, is still confined at the Park View
Sanitarium, by reason of the wound.
1t will probably be a couple of weeks
before he will be able to get out. 1t
is thought the negro can be tried with
out Mr.. Helmy being present, however,
as he does not know who it was that

The annual war on mosquitoes has

Oil is being placed in the sewers,

the mosquitoes will have greatly di-
minished in numbers.
The fight against the insects is be-

Occasionally strong winds bring mos

unusual.
If all the standing water in the vi

the city will be practically free from
the nuisances, the officials say. Only
small pool of water will breed thou
sands and thousands of the skeeters
and every little puddle has to be doc

MUST NOT DISCRIMINATE
IN LEVYING OF TAXES
City Attorney oarrard Says Council Is Bound to
obey Constitution.

Following is the opinion of Col. Will
liam Garrard. the city attorney. on
the matter of Confederate veterans
licenses:
Touching Confederate soldiers and
their widows and orphans, the legsla-
ton of Georgia has been commercially
appropriate, and liberal, taking into
consideration the financial condition of
the state.
BY the act of March 10. 1866. the
state appropriated s200,O for the pur-
chase of corn to give bread to such
widows and orphans of soldiers, and
TO disabled soldiers, as might suffer
without aid.
In the same year. at the winter ses-
sion, several acts were passed on the
same lines, viz: to provide for the
education of INDECENT and manned
soldiers of Georgia, under thirty years
of age, at the University of Georgia.
and at other Georgia colleges, to the
extent of $500 per annum for each
beneficiary; to provide for artificial
limbs or the value thereof, and pro-
Viding for free transportation of the
soldiers to and from the place where
SucH dTllutldl legs ana arms were
furnished. and to allow disabled Sold
iers TO peddle without a license lex
cepting the peddling in ardent spirits)
Another act was passed on March
3, 1875, authorizing county authorities
TO levy special tax to pay 500 per
annum to each Confederate soldier.
owning not more than $1,000 taxable
property, who had lost both eyes, or
two limbs in the service, residing in
said county.
All the foregoing legislation was
under the Constitution of 1868, and was
valid and constitutional.
What state Has Done.
When the present constitution was
adopted in 1877, provision was made
for Confederate soldiers by Paragraph
], Section /, Article Code No. 5ss2)
so as TO permit the General Assembly
10 use money raised by general taxes
TO supply these soldiers with artificial
limbs, and from the same funds to
pension such soldiers "as may have
been otherwise disabled or permanent
~ injured in such service, or who, by
reason Of age and poverty, or in
trinity and poverty, or blindness
and poverty, are unable to provide a
living for themselves, and for the wild
ows of such Confederate soldiers as
may have died in the service of the
Confederate States, or since, from
wounds received therein, or disease
contracted therein"
A number of acts have been. since
1877 passed, carrying into effect these
provisions to supply artificial limbs.
and to provide pensions, not necessary
here TO enumerate.
The act Of March 3, 1875, hereinbefore
referred to by which counties could
give 500 per year. to a soldier who
had lost both eyes OF two limbs, was
abrogated. because the constitution in
