WARSAW MEETING
WAS ENTHUSIASTIC
Third One Had Good Attendance IN
Spite of the Cold

WARSAW, H., Jan. To- Despite
the cold weather, the attendance OF
the third public meeting of the Mems
Forward Religion Movement last
Sunday was about forty per cent larg-
er than that of the proceeding gath
ering which would indicate that the
movement is not only in name, but
rather in fact genuine forward
movement So far as could be ascer-
tanned, those present expressed their
entire satisfaction in the discussion
as well as privately, with the course OF
the meeting as we'll as with the aim
and purpose of the movement in gen
eral
Dr. e. F. Wahrer's discourse on
Progress and Stagnation of Our Age
Was listened to with great attention.
After having given sketch of the
modern progress in industry and traf-
tic, the speaker said: The world is
always ready to erect monuments in
honor of men-killers, but backward
to honor still greater heroes, who
made their names immortal, like those
three physician who sacrificed their
lives, in the prime of manhood, to
IND out the cause of the yellow fever
for the everlasting benefit Of the hui
man race. But such deeds are hon
ored by Him, who said: Greater love
mas no man than this that he Law
down his life for his friends. "
After the singing of the mems choir,
Fear Not" very interesting and
helpful discussion followed in which
the following persons took part. -
Rev. B. II. Jagdstein, G. Kopp, Jr.
Banker Ludde, A. Derksen, Jr., r.
Fenor and DR.. Wahrer. Rev. Jagd

carpenter of Nazareth. The laws
for the protection of health and life
for instance, are but the result Of His

with the speaker, DR.. Wahrer. Mr..

PRIVILEGE TAX ID
 BE TAKEN ID COURTS
Annist0nians Believe COun- cil Exceeded Authority
 by Imposing Tax

Anniston December 13.-tSpecial)- Knox, Acker, Dixon and sterne, attor- neys for the opponents of the sanitary privilege tax, made a report to the com mittee recently appointed at a mass meet ing in the Second ward Thursday, in which they declare the tax is uneon- stitutional. which means that it will be opposed in the courts of the city.
 The attorneys state that the tax is a levy on property and, as such, is out side the city's power to impose, the coun- cil having, in their opinion, exceeded it's authority in imposing the tax. They ad- wise their clients not to pay the tax, but to pay their other taxes as usual. Act ing upon this advice, a few persons have refused to pay the tax and one has paid it under protest. Wherein they decline Tax Collector w. O. Ward has declined to accept payment fol any taxes what ever and says he will continue this course until otherwise advised.
 In the absence of Mayor Wkle City Attorney J. J. Arnold gave out a state ment in which he declares that he be- lieves the ordinance levying the tax will stand and that to the best of his knowl- edge the city will go into court to main tain it, if necessary. The citizens com mittee has said that 1t will be neces- sary.
 The action taken by the Anniston cit izens in resisting the tax is likely to be of widespread importance. as a sim liar tax is now being paid by citizens of Birmingham, Gadsder and other towns in Alabama. If the ordinance Is declared illegal and the tax unconstitutional in Anniston 1t will probably be contested at other places.
 Considerable improvements have been planned by Mayor Wikle in Anniston in view of this added revenue. and if it is defeated it will mean a loss of between 5000 and s10,000 to the town, which is embarrassed under constitutional linn itation of ia of l per cent.
