GEORGIA TROOPS
 WILL NOT ENCAMP Governor Terrell Says No Money
 Is Available
EQUIPMENT BADLY NEEDED
Georgians Get Numerous Prizes From St. Louis Exposition for Products Placed on Displty-other
 Atlanta News.

Atlanta, March 2-(Special. )-There will be no encampment of the Georgia state troops this year. This queestion has practically been definitely settled as the result of conference between the Gov ernor and the adjutant general.
 T do not see any possible chance of an encampment this year." Governor Ter rell said today. 'I do not see where the money Is to come from. There is scarce ly any hope of an increased appropria- tlon from the legislature, and the $25,OOO now appropriated annually is all taken up in the payment of armory rents and for administrative purposes.
 ''It is true that our share of the ap- propriation from the United States gov ernment through the war department will be between S25,000 and $9O,0OO, but if we hold a general encampment it would take every cent of this to pay for 1t, and we would be left without any new equip ment for the year. Now the state troops are not properly equipped. This was practically demonstrated on the occasion of the Manassas maneuvers, when two Georgia regiments went there short of the equipment they should have had.
 We have practically decided, there fore, that the best thing to do this year is to get all the equipment we can for the troops and get them in good shape. Then next year we can have an encamp- ment that will be worth the while"
 While the mal.er has not been definite ly determined, there appears to be no doubt that 1t will take this course. It may be the military advisory board will be asked to consider the question before it is finally dropped.
 The fifth regiment infantry. Colonel Clifford L. Anderson commanding, will. however, have an encampment of it's own within the limits of the state, pay ing it's own expenses It will probably go somewhere on the seacoas1.

Georaians Receive Medals.

Glascock Barrett, assistant commission CT for Georgia at the St. Louis exposi- tion, today received an important letter from John H. McGibbons. secretary of awards of the worlds fair, stating that all exhibitors to whom premiums were awarded would receive not only their diplomas, but also their medals. whether gold silver or bronze, at the expense of the exposition company. This is quite unusual with expositions, as heretofore all exhibitors have had to have the medals awarded them made at their own expense.
 Mir. Barrett likewise received from the exposition company an official list of awards made on Georgia's agricultural exhibits, in which many changes have been made since the exposition closed These awards are as follows:

AFFAIRS WELL IN HAND.
Congress May Not Have to Hold an
 AlI-Night Session.

Washington, March 2.--With one legis- lative day, which includes Friday night and the forenoon of March 4, the fifty eighth Congress has the supply bills nec- essary to be passed well in hand. All the bills have passed both Houses. and all but five have been agreed to by conferees. The bills still out are the naval and In- dian. appropriation bills. on which partial agreements have been reached; the sun dry civil. general deficiency and river and harbor.
 Conferences on all of these measures are in progress with the expectation that re- ports will be made during the day to- morrow. It is the hope of the managers that an all-night session tomorrow will not be necessary as there are no items in the bills still in conference that need cause a prctracted deadlock.

CARNIVAL PARADEs OPEN.

The ball at the French Opera house in which Momus crowned his queen in an enchanted garden, was a beautiful spectacle, with the officers of the cruiser Brooklyn part of the brilliant throng.

Is Occupation Tax Legal.

The prison commission received a re- port today to the effect that there are two cases of smallpox in the penitentiary camp conducted by Babcock Bros, lum- Der manufacturers, at Babcock, Miller county, in the southwestern part of the state. The commission promptly for warded to pr. J. H. Sessions, the phy- instruments to use every possible means to repress the disease. There are 110 convicts confined at the camp.
 State off "ials are interesting themselves in the suit instituted in Coweta superior court by Banker w. s. Witham of At lanta to prevent the collection of the $10 occupation tax charged against him as president of the bank of Senoia. President Withan, whp was president of that bank from 1899 to 1903, refused to pay the tax, and a double tax for the four years, amounting to total of S80, was assessed against him, the collection of which he has stopped by injunction.
 It appears from President Witham's s petition to the court that the law assess ing this occupation tax is attacked on the ground that it is violative of para graph 1, section 2, article of the state constitution. which provides that taxes shall be uniform on the same class of subjects. The claim Is made, therefore, that this tax Is class legislation, and therein that the equal protection of the laws assured by the constitution is de- nied.
 Now this occupation tax of s1O is as- sessed on presidents of banks, telegraph, railroad, telephone, street railway gas, electric light and similar companies, but Is not assessed against presidents of other corporations than these. So that MT Withams bill, while applying par ticularly to the bank presidents. attacks the law as 1t applies to the presidents of all these other corporations. The state collects a considerable sum in taxes from this source and the outcome will be watched with nuch intarest

Insurance Companies May Drop Out.

Fourteen regular fire and life insurance companies have up to date failed to file with Governor Terrell their regular semi annual statements as required by law. Tomorrow Is the last day upon which those statements can be filed and the law properly compiled with. It is re- quired also that these statements shall be published in a daily paper. The pen alty for failure to comply with this re- ouirement is forfeiture of license for the remainder of the year. As rule no time Is granted for the filing of these statements beyond the sixty days from January l, as is provided by the law, but occasionally there has been permit ted an extension of time where good cause is shown It is probable, however that some of these fourteen companies have decided to no longer do business In the state and will drop out. Those which are not heard from by tomorrow will have to show good cause or drop out of the field for the remainder of the year.
