MAYOR AND MARSHAL
HELD A CONFERENCE,
In Regard TO Tax Executions Which
City Holds.

Mayor Myers, City Marshal Dreeson
and Deputy Marshal Hussey had long
conference in the Mayors Office yester-
day at noon. relative TO the tax execu-
lions in the hands of the marshal
which have not been collected. The
marshal and his deputy demonstrated
to the Mayor that some of the back
taxes were being collected from time to
time.
Mr.. Myers said after the conference
that the executions for specific taxes
would not be pushed at once. AS TO
the executions on real estate, the
Mayor said he did not know what
would be done. He wanted to see the
marshals report before making up his
mind.
I'VE will try, though, to get in as
much taxes as possible this year." he
said.
on some OF fine executions. mostly
for specific taxes, monthly payments
are being made. Some of the people
can not afford to pay all at once and
the Mayor, after talking the matter
over with the marshal, said he would
not push them.
The preparation of the list of the
uncollected executions is still in prog
ress, however.

CLAIMS PILE-DRIVER
INFRINGES ON PATENT
Temporary Injunction Granted APP
pIicant by Judge Speer.

Temporary Injunction Granted APP
pIicant by Judge speer.
Yesterday morning the papers grant
ing Fred A. Won Eberstein a tenn
porary injunction restraining ]. p.
Champliss from further using a GER
tain style of pile-driver reached the Of
flee Of the United States clerk.
The injunction was granted in Ma
con by Judge Emory Speer. Deputy
Marshal Joseph F. Doyle served the
papers at once on Mr.. Champliss, who
was doing certain work for the Cen
trail of Georgia in the course of which
he was using the pile-drivers.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Won Eberstein
that he has the patent on the pile
drivers, which are so designed that
'"piles can be driven perpendicularly
and at angles without shifting the
slides and without adjustment, and
faster than it can be done in any other
way" Mr.. Champliss, he alleges, is
using this style of patented pile driv-
er.
He claims that the defendant has re-
fused to buy the pile-drivers and also
refuses to stop working with them.
By reason of these actions the petit
toners title has been clouded it is
alleged, and great injury done him
He asks that the court grant a per-
manent injunction and compel the de-
PENDANT to make an accounting for the
damage done.
The case comes up for hearing be-
fore Judge Speer in Macon this morn
ing. The petitioner is represented by

How to Enjoy an Ocean Trip.

There is a strong tendency nowadays
on the part of experienced ocean
travellers to avoid the overcrowding and
corresponding inconviences of record
breaking steamships, and to seek ac-
comodations where the voyage can be
made in perfect tranquility and free
dom from all excitement. The change is
very noticeable this season. and is
giving more than usual prominence to
the Anchor Line, which seems to be
making a distinct following of its own,
and is considered the ideal line for per-
sons seeking the most lasting benefits
of the Ocean Cure. The Anchor Line is
one of the oldest in the Atlantic pas
senger service. Its steamships are COM
modious and among the staunchest
afloat. The rule of the company is to
provide for the individual comfort OF
each passenger, so that proper enjoy
ment of the voyage is assured. The low
rates of the Anchor Line are another
great factor in it's maintained popular
ity. A beautifully illustrated book of
tours can be had free by addressing the
agents. Henderson Brothers, II and 10
