MANY AMERICUS

Every Corporation is RGquir.
ed to Register

In Americas, as elsewhere in the
state, there are many corporations
which, under the law, are required 70
register with the secretary of state
and pay the usual stipend but which
have failed to do So Amercus banks
and in fact, stock companies of every
nature that are chartered institutions,
are required to comply and pay the
customary fee.
In spite of the fact that this la Y
has been in effect several years nov,
the department annually has consij
cradle trouble in getting corporations
to comply with the law.
For instance, in Bibb county there
are total of 256 corporations, and
out of this number 100 are now deli1-
ouent in complying with the registra-
ton law. All have been notified of
failure to register, but the numb
stated, for some reason, do not -
spond.
From the records of the Office of tn
secretary of state, it is shown that -
only two counties do the corporations
comply with the law promptly an i
without a great deal of trouble and eE-
ira correspondence. These two coun.
ties are Chatham and Muscogee
Other counties with large number
of corporations, such as Fulton; Bib
and others, have to be logged up every
year in order to get the reports all
Strengthened out. Under the law, thu
secretary of state may penalize thu
delinquents in the sum of $50 after
Nov. l. He has enforced this resuln-
ton upon number of occasions, bit
is generally loath to do so.
Final warnings are being receive1
by the delinquents now, so it will Ia
wise for all of them to heed it.

SAVANNAH MAY CATCH
MACON P2OH| CAMPAIGN

Savannah, Ga, Oct 24-There is
much speculations in Savannah as 70
whether there is a movement brewing
to start prohibition campaign such
as Macon has under Roadway. Macon
is stopping the sale of liquor by in
junction under decision of the SUI
preme court, based upon some Savan,
nah cases. This is being done before
the Savannah cases are tried on their
merits
Rev. T. d. Ellis last Sunday deliver
ed prohibition sermon and called
upon the men of Savannah-the Meth
odist lawmen-to get busy and start
something. He said it was Up to the
laymen to act. So far there has been
no movement, but it is expected that .
campaign will be started at almost any
time. The Macon fight has been watch
ed with interest here by both sides ami
if the anti-liquor people ever start they
will have plenty of grounds for az

caught hold of the lads coat and
hung ON for dear life.
In the struggle to release himself

BASK IN FORTUNES SMILES
Sailors From New Zealand Port Are
Reported to Have Made Rare
Find of Ambergris.

In the old days, when the sturdy
men of New Bedford and Nantucket
put out to sea in chase of the mighty
whale, they used to dream of finding
ambergris A streak of fortune which
carried a lump of this stuff across the
bows of an old square-rigger might
make small fortune for all hands,
even to the lowest one in hundred
laymen slowed away in the forecastle.
But the streak Of fortune seldom
came
However, the sperm whale continues
to give us this concretion and the
navigators of the far-off waters some
times find it. The whaler Norvegia
comes hooting into Christchurch, New
Zealand, jubilant in the possession of
ambergris to the amount Of half ton
at least the cables to the newspa-
pers say it's half ton. Inasmuch as
ambergris has seldom been discovered
in quantities exceeding 100 pounds,
the accuracy of the scales may per-
haps be doubted.
And here's another thing The same
dispatches place the value of the am
bergris at 100000. That is lot Of
money for a crew of hard-bitten
whalemen, yet perhaps it would not
be grudged them by world always
ready TO applaud good fortune. But
armbergris is usually quoted at IS the
ounce What has caused this tremen-
dous advance? A decline would seem
more probable because the discovery
of such a quantity might easily over
stock the market.
It's a good yarn of deep-sea treas
ure Don't let's scoff at it. 1t seems
fairly sort OF a contribution to the
men of the Norvegia, and that the
men of the Norvegia are joyful there
at. And my lady's next bottle of SUI
perior perfume from Paris may con-
tain, under the name of some sum-
mer blossom, its share of the essence
which had it's origin in the bleak ant

all contributing to the rapid growth
of Canada West. Two of the largest
contingents reaching Winnipeg last
week were from Germany and Scan

The British Isles are sending out
larger contingents than ever before.
The old land newspapers are filled
with accounts of send-offs and fare
wells being given to popular towns
folk on the eve of departure for Can
ada.
Numerous editorials record the SEN
timents, bordering on despair, of the
Britons who see their towns and vii
lagos desolated by the desertion Of
favorite sons and daughters. We can
sympathize with those left behind
while felicitating the young people
who have their own way to make in
the world, on their new opportunities
in the country OF mammoth crops.
