Solid Protest to Be Made
on Tax on Proprietary
Medicines
STATE DRUGGIST TO ACT
Committee from Atlanta, Macon, sa-
Vannah and Other cities to Visit
the General AssembIy-What
Local Druggist says.

In speaking OF the proposition of the
state legislature to tax the retail
druggists OF Georgia $2Qo on propric.
tary medicines containing alcohol to
an amount indicated by the United
States Pharmacopia. one OF the most
prominent druggists OF Brunswick yes
terday said that it was certainly a
. heavy burden on even the largest deal
ers, but that for the small druggists
it would practically mean extinction.
The retail druggists in this state
now pays $40 to carry on his business.
then for soda water privileges he pays
S. more, for tobacco he pays another
$5 and the like amount for selling
candies thus bringing the total up
to $40 or $50. There are other lines
of business that sell nearly every con-
ceivable article and yet pay a tax for
one line only, and he though it was
unjust to the drug dealers Of tue state.
1t is expected that some eoucentrat-
ed action VIII be taken by the drug
sists of the state relative 10 this mat.
ter though as YET The whole thing is
Ia allegiance.
A Macon committe representing the
druggists OF that city who viii so to
Atlanta Monday to protest against the
proposed new tax will very likely be
aided in their efforts by the Atlanta
druggists, who are also much wrought
up at the proposed new measure.
1t is said that tho druggists of Sa.I
i1dted plans for countcracting the
amendment offered in the legislature

st. Petersburg, July 23.-The army
organ evidently believes that the Jap
anese are preparing for a general ad-
vance from the east against the Rus
sian left. The paper estimates the
Japanese purpose as follows:
1.-THE probable object of the Japan
ese advance is to move into the Lao
river valley, which is north of our
position at Zanzem pass, in order to
occupy a more favorable position in
the forward movement of the main
army, which is posted along the Mo.
tien, Lakhoesta Pan passes with a
front 10 miles to the south of the Sal
matzsa-Iiao-Yany road. The adyan-
tage of the delay consists in the posi-
bility afforded yof endangeying our
communications north of Lao Yang
and the fanking Of Lieutenant Gener-
al Count Kellers army in the north"
Regarding the new advantage gain
ed by the japanese still further north
of Saimatzsa-Lia Yang road the army
organ considers that the Japanese
operation there and the superiority of
their forces at Molten pass, as shown
in the engagement of July IL, prove
that there have been great changes
in the numerical composition Of the
japanese forces and adds
Undoubtedly the newly formed re-
serve units have been sent from Japan
to strengthen the armies and some OF
the Japanese forces are being brought
north from Stu Yen. 1t is not impro-
bable that the japanese intend to
make an attempt TO occupy Lieuten-
ant General Count Keller's position
, at Zanze pass. which would render
: it much more difficult for him to take
the offensive.
But it is scarcely possible that the
Japanese intends with this column
to advance upon Liao Yang or Muk-
den. Such move would be extreme
= lily dangerous without previous vic
tory on the Lao Yang high road, and
! would call for the deployment of very
large forces, for which the Saimat'
sza- -Liao-Yang road is not suitable" I

PREPARE TO WELCOME CIRCUS
The Greatest Of All Shows Coming
Here May 2.

Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on
Earth is coming to this city in the inn
mensity which, during the past FIVE years
has staggered all Europe. This is its
fifth return to America from foreign
lands. Each time it has come back with
numerous additional features and this
time it has come back with such an ar
ray of novelties and innovations that it
win absolutely disarn those pessimists
who have been speaking of the circus as
..the same old thing" This time it must
be said that it is all new thing, and ac-
cortiing to reports in the newspapers of
New York andelsewhere. where it has
been seen since it returned, it is simply
impossible to do it justice by any attempt
at verbal description. Not only is it full
ly twice as large in respect of the num-
bers of men, beasts, tents, cars and all
other forms of paraphernalia but is pro-
portionately greater in point of merit
Mr. James A. Bailey who is the controll-
ing owner of this vast exhibition, has
been its guide and mentor for the past
quarter of a century. No other Snowman
or combination of showmen in the world
has either the capital or experience Of
Mr.. Bailey. He has determined to .cele-
brate his return to his homie country by
presenting an exhibition so vast and so
varied that it will mark an epoch in the
history of the shows of the world. 1t is
scarcely too much to say that the visit
of this great exhibition to this city ought
to be regarded as an honor, for when it
comes it will place the people of this
community upon the same plane. so far
as entertainment goes, with the people of
all the great capitals of the civilized
world, such as New York, London, Paris
Berlin, Vienna, Brussels, Munich, Buda-l
PCSts AtOttCk0dAAA A4A0 OtAAtAo VI tAtC SkSAt
metropolitan cities of civilization. Indeed,
it might be said that it will place them
above these. because the show, as it will
be seen here. will be very much greater
in every respect than it was when seen
in any of the cities of Europe.
Barnum & Bailey show day win doubt
less attract one of the greatest crowds
ever seen here, and this mention Of its
size and character is made as a sugges-
ton to the merchants of this community
that they ought to preperae for the com
ing of the great throng it will attract, by
the use Of columns of this newspaper to
let that throng know what they will also
have to provide for the entertainment of
visitors
The date Of the exhibition will be May
