THE QUESTION. OF THE
new SANITARY CLOSET
SYSTEM IS SETTLED
COUNCIL DECIDES TO PUT loRDI.
NANCE INTO EFFECT AT
ONCE.

AT a call meeting OF the council
held yesterday afternoon in the office
of Mayor Hopkins, it was decided to
put into effect at once the ordinance
covering a system of sanitary closets
in the district not reached by sew
erage.
While Alderman Ludwig was not
against the ordinance he and Alder
man Newman voted to withhold ac-
tion until the matter of extending
the sewerage system could be set
tied. Aldermen Cook, Nicholson
and Dart voted TO put the system In
at once and the matter carried.
Mayor Hopkins will take steps i'm
mediately looking to the starting of
the work.
There is no question but that the
open closets are menace and the
cause of much sickness, while on the
other hand this sanitary system will
do much to improve the general pub
lie health. The work should have
been started long ago.
Even though the sewerage system
of the city is extended it would take
some years and the cost to the in
dividual for these sanitary closets is
so small. $3 a year, and the benefit
so general it Dis wise move to put
them in.

TALLULAH DAM
IS COMPLETED
IMMENSE MACHINE OF 5000
HORSEPOWER WILL BE
NECESSARY.

Atlanta, June 23.-The big dam at
Tallulah Falls has been completed.
With the practical certainty in view
that the state supreme court would
affirm the decision in the recent law
suit, the Georgia Railway and Pow
er company has gone straight ahead
with the enormous development work
with the result that the tunnel will
be entirely finished within the next
few weeks, and the power house com
pleted some time in August.
While the motion for new trial
was made by the state, the action
was desired equally by the power
company because the supreme courts
affirmation Of the original verdict
will settle for all time the power
company's title to the land. This
means that actual power will be
available by the early fall. At least
one unit creating 1900 horsepower
will then be set into immediate oper
alton, and the entire five unity, ag
gregating $4,000 horsepower, will be
utilized as soon as the demand re
quires it. 1t is expected that the gen
Grafton of this power will accomplish
more than any other single influence

ELOPER IS SHOT
AND BADLY HURT
DURING CHURCH
THE CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING
WAS DUE TO FAMILY
TROUBLE.
WAS SEPARATED FROM Wife
Mason Revelis Shoots at Brother-in-
Law, John Palmer, Six Times.
Parties Well Connected and the Az
fair Is Unfortunate.

Tallahassee, June 23,-During the
services at Evan church about
6 o'clock last evening, Mason Revells
shot at John Palmer six times, three
shots taking effect, one in his stom-
ach and the theirs in his chest and
neck.
Palmer was unarmed except for a
pocket knife which he drew and
chased Revells. with the three bullet
wounds in his body, until he fell by
the roadside, overcome 'by the effect
OF the wounds.
Reyells was trying to reload his
pistol when he was overpowered by
some of the men at the church He
was brought to town and lodged in
jail
Palmer was hurried to town for
medical attention, and was operated
on at Silver Cross hospital in an en-
deavor to save his life However.
the doctors do not hold out any hope
to his grief-stricken relatives and
friends for hir recovery.
The cause of the shooting was fam

married The union was not happy
and congenial one and they were sep.
arated since then the young lady has
been living with her father

CUSTOMS SERVICE WILL BE RE-
ELED-DlsPUTED CUES
TIoNs SETTLED.
DISTRICTS ARE TO Be REDUCED
One Hundred and Thirteen CoIIec-
tors viii be Clipped of the Pay
Roll at One Time and Only Forty
Nine Districts Operated.

Washington, June 23--Secre airy
McAdoo. of the treasury department,
has settled all disputed questions in
the South over the redistricting of
the customs service, and is now prac-
tically prepared to effectuate the
sweeping customs reorganization the
country over on July /.
Jacksonville will be the headquar-
ters for the Florida district. While
some treasury officials believed Tam
pa should be the headquarters of the
district, because, it is said, the i'm
port business of that city is far
greater than that of Jacksonville. 1t
has just been decided that under the
plan of reorganization as sent to con-
gress by former President Taft. il
is imperative that Jacksonville be
designated as the headquarters of the
collector for Florida.
To meet the requirements of the
service 1t is added. however. the col
lector will spend much Of his time at
Tampa.
Trouble in Virginia.
The prolonged controversy In Vir-
ginia between Norfolk and Newport
News for the honor of possessing the
headquarters of the collector OF GUS
toms has been decided In Norfolks
favor. Treasury officials, In Craving
the reorganization plan, originally
compromised the situation by max,
ing Norfolk and Newport News the
headquarters of Virginia, empower
ing the collector to divide equally
his time between the two ports.
While there is some ambiguity in the
phraseology OF the plan as sent to
congress by former President Taft
with reference to Virginia, it is said
that undoubtedly the former presi-
dent meant Norfolk to be the head
quarters, and that cannot be legally
changed without legislation. Like the
situation in Florida, the collector. al
though his headquarters will be Nor
folk, will spend some of his time at
Newport News.
Southern Districts.
AS finally decided upon, the new
Southern districts and the ports OF
entry, continued or created, are as
follows, the nrst port mentioned in
each instance being the headquarters
Of the collector.
Virginia Except Alexandria coun-
ty): Norfolk, Newport News, Rich
mond, Petersburg, Cape Charles City,
Chincoteague and Reedyyille. =
North Carolina: Wilmington, Eliz-
abeth City, Newbern. Manteo and
Beaufort.
South Carolina Charleston, George
town and Beaufort.
Georgia Except the st. Marys riv-
er district): Savannah. Brunswick,
Darien and Atlanta.
Florida (inciuding st. Marys river,
north bank) Jacksonville, Tampa
Key West, Punta Gorda, Boca Grande

belle.
Alabama (including part Of Missis-
sippi) Mobile. Birmingham. Gulf
port and Scranton.
Louisiana (inAuding part Of Mis-
sisslppi): New Orleans and Morgan
City.
This reorganization OF the customs
service OF the entire country is the
most drastic ever attempted at one
time 1t reduces the number of dis
tries from 1G2 to 40 and abolishes
l13 collectors Of customs, including

CAMP OF THE SOLDIER BOYS
WAS FAvoRITE RESORT OF
THE VISITORS.
ROUTINE IS NOW ESTABLISHED
This is the First Coast Trip for
Many of the Boys and the Surf
Bathing Draws Them as Their
Camp Draws the Civilian.

Sunday was an ideal day and with
the exception of snort squall in
the afternoon, bad for straw hats and
summer costumes, but which served
to clear the air and after which a de-
lightfully cool breeze came in from
the Atlantic, the day was perfect
1t is estimated that from 1900 to
1000 visited the island and the beach
from the landing dock to the new St.
Simon hotel was filled with a happy
crowd, many enjoying the surf bath
ing and all thoroughly imbued with
the holiday spirit
The spacious porches at the New
st. Simon was the mecca for Bruins
wick people the management stat
ing that over 800 extra guests were
served at dinner.
Every railroad entering Bruins
wick ran excursions into the city
early Sunday morning, to enable the
surrounding country to see the Geor-
gia guardsmen.
The chief cause of such interest
on the part of the public is that this
is the first time all of the Georgia
cavalry, five troops, has camped IN
one body in years. AS fit response
to the friendly interest of the citizens
a dress parade was held Sunday
afternoon for the benefit of the Wis
ltors, after which the band gave a
concert to the delighted citizens.
The st. Simon Transit company
made several extra trips with the
Sea Gate and Atlantic, both boats be.
ing loaded to capacity during the
afternoon trips, the facilities provid-
ed were ample, however
This is the first coast trip for many
of the men and they have fallen in
love with the bathing and shouts of
delight and pleasure voice their feel
ings.
After mess Sunday morning the
men policed the camp for several
hours, Immediately after which prat-
tically all the men were given COM
plete liberty for the day. and they
left camp within few minutes, you
might say 'as one man." making for
points along the beach.
Headquarters tents were raised
Sunday morning and by 10 O'Clock
Adjt. McCollum had dictated orders
to his orderly.
Maj. Hunter, of the Third battal-
ion, issued detail orders covering ali
routine company orders, such as the
different bugle calls, hours of drilling
officers school, mess, reville, tattoo,
assembly, taps, etc. These apply te
the Second squadron.
The field piece, under command OF
Sergt. Goodwin, of the Atlanta artil-
lery, none the worse after it's plunge
into the sea Saturday while being
transferred from the lighter, doomed
salutes at desired intervals Sunday.
The First regiment, Georgia infan-
try band, will give concerts daily, i'll
addition to the regular music re-
auired.
A holiday spirit pervades the camp
and some of the boys have beess made
33d degree soldiers via the blanket
route" one going into the branches
of tree 80 feet from the ground
Baseball is being talked and several
games will probably be arranged. The
camp looks very inviting and if the
crowds Sunday are a criterion, St
Simon is sure to break all records
this summer as a Georgia coast re-
sort.
