ALBANY. Ga, April 26.-."The Ander-
sonville-T homasville route" is the name
selected today by the biggest of many
big good roads meetings held in this city.
1t was at first intended to hold the meet
ing in the city hall, but the crowd COM
posed of big delegations from IS counties
counties was so great that the meeting
adjourned to the Dougherty county court
house. The spacious superior court room
was filled with the good roads enthusi-
asts. The first thing in order after Hon.
II. A. Tarver, of Albany. had been made
chairman and H. 7. Mcintosh. secretary,
was to select a name for the route. AL
bany, Americas and other towns waived
any claims to have their names in the
name of the route, in order to facilitate
the work of the meeting and THE An
Jacksonville route" was put in nomlna-
ton.
Thomasville delegates, however, put up
a strong fight to have that well-known
tourist point included in the name and
won out.
Next in order was to decide which way
the route was to run, and this brought
on more talk. This decision was delayed
because so many different towns wanted
to be in the route and each had elo-
quent representatives present to fight for
what they wanted. The meeting was full
of enthusiasm and public spirit. Each OF
the II counties represented was given a

iments to be sent to Fortress Monroe
This offer was accepted.
Fifty years ago today companies of
the Massachusetts militia were pour
ing into Boston. They came from cities
and towns in the eastern and central
part of the state-shoemakers from
Lynn, boatmen and mechanics from
Marb1ehead, farmers from the towns OF
the Plymouth colony, clerks from the
cities.
The first companies to arrive in the
city were three of the Sth Massachu-
sets from. Marblehead Their orders
were to muster on Boston Common. but
a heavy storm made it expedient to or
der them to the shelter of Faneuil hall
They arrived at the historic cradle OF
liberty before in the morning, the
first troops to report for duty to their
governor, ready to march, under the
presidents call.
Other companies of their own and
other regiments followed them into the
city and to Faneuil hall, and before
night four regiments were under arms
in Boston One of these was ready to
embark by steamer for fortress Monroe
that afternoon, but in the storm raging
II was not thought wise to send it to
sea.
Nevertheless, the wait until next day
was not to deprive Massachusetts, or
the coveted honor of Icing the first
state to dispatch troops in response to
the presidents call.

foreign relations and cummins on IL
nance. Coupled with these demands was
the one that Mr. Bourne be appointed

was granted

their selections and the fight then win be

Senators OF every political shade
were active today preparing for
a struggle which may take place
on the senate floor tomorrow. Re
publican factions are at odds over the
demands made by the insurgents and re-
jected BY the committee on committees

ternoon which promises to be a stormy
affair, while the Democratic lists win be

had taken good care Of the insurgents
and that there was no chance for the
overturning OF the program so as to

commerce commission. Cummins on f.
nance and Bristow on foreign relations.
which were the points OF difference which
caused the greatest trouble.
Whether the Republican fight viii be
carried to the senate floor tomorrow will
be determined by a meeting of the in
surgents tonight after the adjournment
of the caucus

made TO the progressive Republicans by
the senate committee on committees,

IMPORTANT RULING
BY TAG COMMISSION
Owner Who Sells Personal Property
and Buys Real Can Be Held for
Taxes on Former.

OLYMPIA, May 1.-THE state tax
commission holds in written opin-
ion given the assessor of Garfield
county that if a man disposes of per
sonal property before the taxes have
been collected and acquires real prop
erty later, he can be held and made
to pay the taxes on the personal prop
erty formerly owned and holds that
merely because some act of the own
er deprived the state of it's power
to collect the tax at the time does not
take away the right to collect the tax
later
1t is held also by the state tax
commission that county assessor
has right to change the tax num-
her when property is divided; that
the law requires warehousemen to
file with the assessor lists showing
the grain in their charge and that
the right to lower the value placed
on any articles of personal property,
found to be assessed too high, is vest
ed in the board of equalization.
