Savannah To Pay Near-Beer Taxes

For the time being, it is believed
around the capitol. the prohibition row
between the state and Savannah is OF;
at least, till the January return is rem
dered by the ordinary Of Chatham coun-
ty, showing the money his Office will have
collected during the month now current.
The return for December, which was
received Monday at the offices of Comp
troller Wright, showed nothing doing"
in the near-beer taxes about the collec-
ton of which the whole state was cen
tered it's interest. -tg.-
But, it is said, the authorities of Chat

law itself.

present month. however, they will not be

DISCOVERY IN THE
COOK ROBBERY

An important discovery was made
yesterday in connection with the rob-
berry of P. a. Cook, local agent for the
Salt Lake and ogden Railway COM
pany last Sunday evening, which may
assist the local officers at work on the
ease in a solution Of the identity of
the two masked men who committed
the robbery.
An examination of the revolver be-
longing TO the station agent disclosed
that it had been tampered with at
some time previous to the robbery.
The powder had been carefully re-
moved from each Of the cartridges of
the weapon by some one and the lead
en- slugs replaced, rendering the aD-
parently loaded weapon absolutely
harmless From this discovery has
arisen the clue that the robbery was
committed by men who had full ac-
cess to the agents office where tle
weapon was kept and who were fa-
miliar with the general surroundings
of the place and the habits of the
agent. Upon this clue it is hoped that
some developments will follow.

gathering, directors conferences, top
ped off with monster mass meeting
in the auditorius, the National Edu-
cational association came to a close
tonight
DR. Henry B, Fayill, NJ D, OF Chi

pal speaker tonight His subject
was Should the public school be the
bulwark of public health" and was
Of intense interest because OF the at
tention given school hygiene and man
ual training durlns the convention.
Physical health Is the basis of men
tai and moral integrity The ques-
tion of public health IS the most vital
question connected with the social
ndam oral progress. This involves
however. an intelligent broadening Of
school activities to the point of CO.
relating through the country the
school activities OF its contingent
community
The relation Of the school to the
child during the formulation period
of It's lige (the period during which
the child is receiving It's growth,
mental and PHYSICAL puts beyond
question the obligation TO establish
this idea"
This was the argument made by
Dr. Favill I'm his contention that the
school Is the guardian Of the health
Of the child
Frank Chapman Sharp. professor
of philosophy of the University Of Wis
consin, gave an illustration from a
Wisconsin school. OF an experiment In
moral education which was beyond
question successful.
Study at home was discussed by
Miss Mary A. Cunningham Of the
Grade Teachers association Of st
Paul. Mlnn, before the afternoon ses-
sion of the round table conference.
In this she urged the women present
to make all possible use of home
study for the child as well as for
themselves. She outlined a course of
study which might be tried as an eX-
pertinent.
The session closed With the election
of officers,
The question of a meeting place for
next year occasioned some further
discussion, during the afternoon, but
it was the general opinion among
those in authority that the executive
committee will not decide finally upon
a city until the neXy meeting in Oc-
tober.

the bright outlook for the crops, that
OF corn giving promise of an unpre-
cedented yield; the cheapness OF
money; and the fact that the tariff
bill has been passed by the senate;
these are the conspicuous features
of the business situation. This main
tenance of trade revival Is all the
more remarkable because this Is the
season of crop uncertainty and mid
summer mercantile dullness.
Further advances have again been
scored In the hide market. Leather
buyers continue TO operate at adj
