CLUB LICENSES
STILL II PROBLEM
FOR THE COUNCIL
One of the first Important matters to
come before the newr council will be
the proposition to regulate and license
all club rooms.
This matter has been up befort the
present coutacil In several . forms for
many months, but nothing definite has
been done. The tax committee did
recommend that clubs selling spirit
uaus liquors be required to pay a li
cense of 3300 a year, but If It ever got
any further, no one scents to know It.
It Is highly probable that License
Inspector Kwlng will recommend
council. In his annual report, that all
clubs that deal In whisky or beer In
any form he forced to petition council
for the privilege to exist, and that
license be required of all such clubs.
He I* of the opinion that this license
should be at least $250, but probably
will not recommend any fixed sum.
"The county, the state and the gov
ernment/’ he says, "can collect licenses
from these clubs, and I see no reason
why thd city should not do likewise.
"There are a number of objectionable
clubs In the city. If they tmd to- get
permission from council and had to pay
a license, these could be done away
with, nr at least could be regulated.
"These clubs can afford to pay the
license, too. I know of one that made
$7,000 last year."

United States forest service of Wash
ington of the cut of lumber In America
during 1*05. This report has Just been
completed and Is published for the first
time In the Silver Anniversary edition
of The Southern Lumberman. The'
statistics were gathered direct frdtn the
manufacturers of lumber In all parts
of the country and embraced : the re
ports of 11,000 mills. This report will
contain many surprising tabulations
and comparisons'for the lumber manu
facturers themselves, and will be a ba
sis for guiding the making of lumber
next year.
The Silver Anniversary of. The
Southern Lumberman, which Is pub

made the vehicle for the presentation
of the rlaims and values of every com

growing (south of the Ohio and Poto
mac that can be made into .lumber Is
written upon from both the technical'
and commercial sides. There, are mips
showing the geographical distribution
of the tree growth with explanations
of the distribution of the lumber prod
uct, hundreds of Illustrations showing
trees, growth In groups and the effect
of climatic Conditions. Hera the ac
cumulated, work done by forest service

written by R. S. Kellogg, H. H. Hale,
Treadwell (Cleveland, Jr., and Thomas

articles showing why the prices of
lumber arc what they are today, and
demonstrates that the diminishing sup

Savannah. Ua., Dec. 29.—Savannah
Is In the throes of a hot political cam
paign. Fortunately for the public It
was started late, and It was not until
ten days before election that formidable
opposition developed. But the fight
from now until January 8 promises to
be very hot Indeed.
On thut date a mayor and board of
aldermen will be chosen, and they. In
turn, will choose.the other city officials.
The Citizens' Club Is still in power and
will make a desperate fight to prevent
the People's Democratic League from
wresting the city governmental affairs
from them.
Last night there were two rallies of
the contending factions. At one of
these Colonel Wi Him v» Garrard, the
present city attorney, formally accept
ed the nomination of the Collins-My-
ers-Osborne faction for mayor. At the
other George W. Tledeman, nominee of
the Democratic League, made an ad
dress. Both were largely attended and
some hot shots were tired.
The Garrard followers arc somewhat
disappointed in the announcement that
General P. W. Meldrlm, Colonel Gar
rard’s law partner, would not take a
personal part In the campaign. It hud
been announced that Oeneral Meldrlm
would speak at the Garrard rally, but a
letter of Indorsement was read from
him, in which he strongly urged his
election, but stated that he would take
no active part in tho campaign. A
recent bereavement In General Mel-
drim's family Is the cause for this de
termination.

Egg Problem will be printed in Tho

PUZZLE EDITOR.
, Just as Jones was leaving his house
In Peachtree street yesterday, his wife
called after him: “Don't forget to drop
in at the corner and ordef some eggs
sent up to the house right away. You
know, the Smiths are coming over to
dinner this evening, and I've really got
to bake some cake. Every piece of
cake baked for Christmas has been
devoured.”
•'All right" answered Jones, and
mindful of his promise he stepped into
the grocery.
"Hello,” said Jenks, the grocer.
"Don't often see you. What can I do
for you this morning?"
“How myeli are your best eggs?"
asked Jones.
"Well," said Jenks, “two more than
I am now selling for twenty-four cents
would make them two cents per dozen
less than they now are.”
"All right." said Jones. “Send twen
ty-four cents worth over to the house
right away. My wife Is waiting for
them.” ,
How many eggs did ho buy? After
he reached the office he started to fig
ure It out. and before he get through
he was nearly crazy. Then he gave
the problem to his bookkeeper, who
also came to grief over It.
If you think you can solve It send the

In reply to your article In Tho At

would like to say that Mr. Jones re
ceived 16 eggs for 24 cents, making the
price of the eggs 18 cents per dozen,

condition of your problem.

Inclosed on separate sheet I send
you solution of puzzle in your issue of
even date. How many eggn did Jones
buy? Jones.bought 16 eggs
cents; that Is. he paid 18 cents per
dozen for them. If he had received 2
more for 24 rents, he would have got
ten 18 eggs for 24 cents, which would
make eggs 16 cents per dozen.
MISS OLLIE MAE TAYLOR.
33 Stewart avenue.
Puzzle Editor The Georgian:
I have solved the "egg problem” i
this afternoon’s Georgian. For the 24
cents left by Mr. Jones, the grocer
should have sent Mrs. Jones 16 eggs.
This would make the eggs cost 18 cents
a dozen. But if eggs had been selling
at 2 cents per dozen less than they
now are, then he should have sent Mrs.
Jones 48 eggs, as the price would then
be 16 cents per dozen. Yours truly.

Sixteen eggs were bought for 24

Special to Tin* Georgian.
Brunswick, Ga., Dec. 29.—It looks
as If there will bo a strike among the
longshordhien In Brunswick. The
union men have demanded a minimum
wuge of 20 cents per hour for truckers
and handlers on the dock, with a pro
portionate raise for workers on the in
side of vessels. This means about a
33 1-3 per cent Increase In wages, and
several of the largest operators ulonp
the water front have stated positively
that they will refuse to pay the higher
wages demanded by the union.
Whether the stevedore* will agree to
accept the new scale proposed by the
i union hus not yet been definitely deter*
mined. In case the demand* of the
union are refused by the lumbermen
and stevedores. It Is probable that the
longshoremen will go out on u strike
January 1.
The rate of wages for outside men
was voluntarily ndvunccd last summer
from 14 to 15 cents per hour by the
local lumber dealers and stevedores.

Augusta, Ga., Dee. 20.—One of the
most important iiucatlons that was
discussed at the union mectlnF of the
Hephxlbah Baptist Association,, held
at the Wocdlawn Baptist church, of
this city, was: "Has the, Opportune
Time Arrived for the Division of the
Hopxibah Association?"
The discussion of the question
aroused much opposition amonF the
local Baptists, and It Is expected that
no division of the association will be
made In the near future. The ques
tion of dlvidlUF the Heptptlhaii Associ
ation is of vital Intereat to a large
number of Baptists In this section of
the state. >
