Georgia Regiment, took no part in the

Lieut.. Morrison appeared at the ar

Statesboro lynching, it was decided he
could not participate in the parade
When charges were preferred against
him, as a result of the sittings of the
court of inquiry, he was relieved of all
military duty, and in the absence of

JURIES STRIKE SEVERE
BLOW AT DIVORCE EVIL.
Erring Defendants Are Not Allowed
to Marry Again.

Erring Defendants Are Not AAAoWeo
to Marry Again.
Two verdicts in divorce cases, one
right after the other, in which the
plaintiff in divorce proceedings has
been granted the right to remarry with
no permission to the defendant is
step which it is believed will lessen
the great number of divorce cases
which monthly burden the dockets of
the courts.
In the case of Henry Leroy Hay
wood VS. Gertrude Haywood the jury
yesterday returned a verdict and
final decree was issued by the court.
The plaintiff is allowed to remarry,
but the defendant is not. In his petit
ton the plaintiff AYERS his wife left
him because he complained of her evil
associates.
There have been a number of such
verdicts returned in the courts Of
Georgia within the last few months.
and those who have been fighting the
divorce evil believe this will be the
means of abating 1t.

VETERANS WILL FIGHT
THEIR BATTLES OVER.
Novel Entertainment Provided for
Regular Meetings.

Novel Entertainment Provided for
Regular Meetings.
One of the most interesting meetings
of the Confederate Veterans Associa-
ton held in some time was the one
last night at which, by unanimous
vote, it was decided to install more of
the social feature into the meetings.
and arrange entertainments that can
not fail to interest those who attend
the meetings.
Veterans will fight their battles over
again. and on the occasion of each
meeting two or more papers of person
al "Reminiscences will be read. At the
conclusion of the regular routine bust
ness, President Young interrupted the
motion for adjournment with the
statement that he had been callel on to
suggest some entertaining features for
the meetings, and in his opinion the
most interesting thing that could be
done would be to have two or more of
"reminiscences of the war.
President Young stated that he had
a paper which had been written by his
brother, Mr.. William Gourdin Young
of Charleston, who accompanied Col.
Louis T. Wigfall to Fort Sumter
when it was first noticed that the flag
was down. The paper graphically de-
scribes the incident which prompted
Col. Wigfall to make the trip, and is
the first authentic description of how
it was first discovered that Sumter
had surrendered.
When COL Wigfall and Mr.. Young,
who was then a private in the Palmet-
TO Guards, arrived at the fort the air
of desolation was almost indescriba-
BILE. All of the incidents of that trip
were most graphically described and
the attendants on the meeting sat in
almost breathless attention through
out the reading of the paper.
Mr.. Young has been offered a hand
some sum to write the story for Nc
OluSe's Magazine, Col Wigfall's
daughter having written her fathers
account some months ago.
At the next meeting of the associa-
ton Vice President D. B. Morgan
who was at Fort Sumter at the time OF
the surrender, will read a paper relat-
ing his experience and observations.

WANT MUCH WORK
IN SOUTH SIDE
COMMITTEE HELD MEETING.
ASKS FOR NUMBER OF IMPROVE
MENTS NEXT YEAR.

Insists That Georgia Infrmary BE
Moved and That More Lights and
Trees Re Put in south Side-Pres-
ent Plan of Tree Planting by City
Is COndemned-MOre Water Mains
and Additional Paving Also
Sought.
At a meeting of the South Side Ad-
visory and Steering Committee last
night plans for the coming municipal
campaign were made and improve
ments that are to be advocated by the
club were agreed upon.
First and foremost among the
things to be worked for by the South
Side comes the removal of the Georgia
Infirmary. The club will work in ev-
cry way possible to bring this about.
The members say the infirmary has
retarded progress in it's vicinity long
enough and they are determined to
get rid of it, if hard work can accom-
plish it. The members of the club go
further and say they believe it will
be better for the institution itself if
a AlSW lOCdllOil ID SGCuEcQ.
More Lights and Trees.
The committee also insists upon the
opening of Thirty-fifth street. which
was defeated in Council, after a lively
fight, only recently. Whether the club
will be able to push this through re-
mains to be seen. There was over
whelming opposition to the plan in
Council when it was up for consid-
Grafton before.
Important improvements that are to
be worked for are more lights and
more trees. At least 500 new shade
trees are needed in the South Side, the
committee says. The members of the
committee contend the present mode of
the city in tree planting is all wrong.
They contend trees can be purchased
ready to be put out for 81 each, and
that this is less than they cost the city
by the tree nursery plan. Both trees
and lights are badly needed, the South
Siders contend. More water mains are
also wanted. There are not enough
for the proper fire protection of the
section, the committeeman contend.
| The paving of several streets is also
asked. 1t is desired to have Thirty
| sixth or Thirty-eighth street paved to
the Ogeechee road.
Planning for Campaign.
A committee of 100 will be appointed
| to work during the coming campaign.
| This committee will be appointed very
| soon and will get to work at once. The
| first big meeting of the South Side will
be held Friday night, Nov IS.
The South SiderS say they are go
ing to work this year just as though
there was opposition. Arrangements
are to be made to have a number of
speakers at all the meetings and
| things will be kept lively from now on.
The Club has a permanent Working
| Committee that keeps in touch with
| those who are out of employment. For
! those who really desire to work posi-
| tons are secured, not only with the
| city and county, but with the rail-
| roads, mills and business houses. The
| organization has an employment bu-
reau where the name, age and last oc-
| cupation of each applicant is kept.
When employment is secured by the
Working Committee the applicant is
notified by postal card.

AGAIN ESCAPE TAXATION.
Property In Extended City Limits
VIII Escape During 1905.

Property In Extended City Limits
VIII Escape During 1908.
Property owners in the extended city
limits will not have to pay any taxes
next year.
Toward the close of 1903 there was
a great deal of talk about making the
owners pay this year. but the matter
has not been brought up in Council,
and IL is safe to say the property in
the extended limits will escape at least
one more years taxes.
Mayor Myers said yesterday he did
not think Council would decide to tax
the property next year. II IL intends
20 do so. an assessment Of property
will have to be ordered at once. he
stated. Alderman Dixon, chairman of
Council. stated he did not think there
was time enough to find out the own
ers and make the assessment, even II
II should be ordered by Council at
once. He felt sure the property would
not be taxed during next year. he said.
