CITY ATTORNEY
RENDERS OPINION
AS TO VETERANS LICENSES.
DECLARES ALL LAWS ExEMPTIN0
VETERANS ARE NULL AND VOID.

Opinion, which Is Sweeping One,
Was Handed to Mayor Myers Yes
terday-Maxor Instructed Marshal
to Prepare List of All Businesses
Conducted Under Veterans Licen-
ses Immediate steps Will he
Taken to StOD Those Run by
Agents, Where Party in Whose
Name License Is Issued Resides
Elsewhere.
Col. William Garrard, city attorney,
has completed and handed TO Mayor
Myers his decision in regard to the
exemption of Confederate veterans
from the payment of specific taxes.
He holds unqualified that all laws
permitting ex-Confederate soldiers, or
ex-soldiers of the Creek, Seminole,
Cherokee, Indian and Mexican wars.
to carry on and conduct business with
out paying the license or business tax
are unconstitutional.
City Council. the attorney says, hav-
ing sworn to support the state consti-
tuition, has no option in the matter,
and is in duty bound to carry out the
law
The decision is a sweeping one.
which. when put in operation, will,
of course, be carried to the Supreme
Court. II the city of Savannah in
the fight that is to be made wins the
case, the Confederate licenses through
out the state will be done away with.
The simple opinion of the city attorney
itself will undoubtedly cause bitter
discussion in every county in Geor-
gia.
VIII Get UP List.
Mayor Myers has already instructed
City Marshal Dreeson to have pre-
pared a complete list of the businesses
in Savannah being conducted under
Confederate veterans licenses He
wants the number of places, the char
acter of each, whether conducted by
the man in whose name the license
is issued, or through an agent.
The Mayor also wants specified the
cases where the man in whose maine
the license is issued resides outside
the city. There are several such cases
the marshal said, where the man in
whose name the license is issued lives
in a different part of the state alto
gether and the business is carried on
through an agent.
In these cases the Mayor will order
at once, or else close up the places
Mayor Myers told Marshal Dreeson
yesterday that this would be done.
City VIII Test Opinion.
AS to all the business places being
conducted under Confederate veterans
licenses, it is not thought any action
will be taken until the decision of Col
Garrard and the list the marshal is
preparing are submitted to Council
There is no doubt, however, that the
city will test the opinion of the city
attorney by making cases, which will,
Of course, be carried into the courts.
The decision of the city attorney is
not adverse to Confederate veterans as
at first might be supposed. 1t simply
states that the laws giving them these
privileges are unconstitutional, but
have heretofore been yielded to be-
cause of the general opinion that only
the gallant survivors of the lost
cause" were being benefited. The
laws are now productive of fraud, Col.
Garrard says.

Campaign of
Misrepresentation

This paper said all along that the
New Constitution was being made the
ssue in the Ninth, and such proved to
be the case. The fight was made on
the new election law by studied and
persistent course OF misrepresentation.
Right here. in this precinct, we are re-
liably Informed, that number OF men
cast their vote with. the positive con-
viction that II the Republican ticket
was successful the new constitution
would be repealed. AT other points Ia
the district the qualifications for vot-
ing were misrepresented by Republi-
can speakers. and illiterate voters were
made 60 believe all sorts OF stories.
Added to all this, the Democratic can
didate for congress had been
u member OF constitutional convention
which framed the so-called objection
able instrument. These conditions and
circumstances rendered the candidate
vulnerable, and gave the Republicans
IA powerful lever. They used IL for all
IL was worth, and succeeded In making
n very large number OF men believe
absolute misrepresentation TO be alb
solute verities. But, as a prominent
Republican remarked, "thls Is politics"

JOS. w. Moss
Has Moved I'm

Tazcwell has recently added TO her
already large number OF nice homes an
other new residence, which compares
favorably, In point OF convenience and
comfort with the best. Mr.. JOS. w.
Moss has recently moved into his house
In the Moss * Greever addition, and Is
snugly and comfortably situated.
The house Is story and half, with
n convenient and roomy basement. The
plan of the entire structure perhaps, as
could have been gotten. The rooms
are large, well lighted from all sides,
and connecting conveniently with each
other, and at the same time can be en-
tered from the outside separately. A
large and slightly verandah extends
nearly around the entire building.
There are eight rooms, nicely fur
nished In quartered oak and other hard
wood. The bath room Is supplied with
hot and cold water The mantles In the
lower rooms are beautiful and several
OF them costly. The CRATES are set 80
as TO make n fine appearance, costly
tiling being used. Taking II altogether
the residence is cosy aud as nice and
convenient as any one could ask.
The house was planned and con-
structed by the we'll known carpenters,
the Heldreth's which firm has 30 many
nice residences In this town bearing
their imprint The Heldreths have
been doing carpenter work In this town
for fifteen years, and have kept the
same lot,of hands nearly all the time,
and they have improved their work as
they have gained In experience. The
Moss residence was constructed entire
ly, and completed by Mr.. J. H. Hell
dreth, a member OF the firm. The i'm
preston may have been made that
Thomas Heldreth Is the chief carpen-
ter. and the only member OF the firm
that knows.how to build house, but
such is not the case. Joe Is just as
good a carpenter as his brother Tom.
The Moss residence shows for itself
Tom is no longer the only "Big Ike" of
this well known firm. While he is all
right and skillful his brother Joe Is a
sort Of "Big Ike" himself, and a fine
workman. Tom built the Painter re-
sidence and 10 the Moss residence. So
there you are. The work shows fol
itself.
The building and setting up OF new
home is an event Of far reaching con
sequences. and all parties are to be
congratulated upon the establishment
lsof another home circle in our midst.

Goodbye Van

James j. Van Allen son-in-law of Mrs Astor man of

Mr.. Van Allen has He says: 'America is
not fit for gentleman to reside in"
That depends upon the definition of gentleman It is
to be feared Mr.. Van Allen has English rather than
American conception. His idea of gentleman is one
with Independent incomes who lives without labor
who has time and money to spend upon personal cuva
ton and enjoyment who seeks the graces of and
ease that go with aristocracy.
For that kind of gentleman America is poor place
and Van does well to go hence.

of high principles, good heart, kindly impulses
