thi impirmnt que-tlon as well as a state
nn of the amount of money that each
ehur' ft or mis- :*>u would raise for the sup
po; of the separate diocese. The matter
of a proper support f<fr the two dioceses
into ahieh it was proposed to divide Geor
wus equally as important as obtaining the
, UJ port of a majority of the churches for
the division itself.

COAST GUNS
Are Rapidly Being Turned
Out bv the Government.
Philadelphia. Sept. 13.—1 n a very few
montiit. this country will possess quite an
important addition to its resources for
home defense. The first one of the fifty im
prov, d. liiorouglily up-to-date, rapid-fire
guns, now tn course of construction at the
Diamond Drill works. Birdsborough. Pa.,
will be iu.jsned in a week or two, ami the
vompletioii of the others w-ill quickly fol
low.
Ih.se guns aie intend..! for coast de
fense vxelmively. The contract for. them
was aw anil I only « few months ago. at a
.une when the end of the war with Spain
seom.d near at hand, and this demon
strates the fact that the government has
no intention to discontinue war prepara
tions. even with no more war in sight.
Since August I projectiles aggregating
in value $21*1.000 have been made at the
< arpenter plant, and the work goes on
with new contracts also in sight.
lac fifty coast defense guns now being
made at Birdsborough are to cost the gov
ernment naif a million dollars, or an ever
age of SIO,OOO each. To facilitate their
rapid completion the Diamond Drill Com
pany put up, in a very short time, a large
budding especially designed for gun mak
ing. and at a cost of many thousands of
dolkirs equipped the structure with the
most modren machinery. Twenty-five of
these rapid fire guns are to be of five inch
bare, and of them are of six
inch. All oi them are to be of 45-calibre i
—that is. forty-five times as long as the
diameter of the bore, a proposit on in gun
making which, the inventor of these guns
said, is the greateet favor with experts to
day. and assures the greatest destructive
results.

A SICK SOLDIER
Comes From the Shadows of Death Back to

He was one of the volunteers returning
, from the disease infested camps of Tampa.
He had dwindled down from ISO pounds to
a skeleton of 100. Malignant fevers had
done thehir work and the drawn features
of rhe soldier as he lay on the hospital
train bunk showed that hope had fled.
"Oh. if I could get my strength iback,'
he said.
A lady passing through the car heard the
exclamation and was touche! with syspa-
Chy.
She had a bottle of Acme Malt Tonic in
her hands and she gave it to the soldier,
telling him to drink it on the way to Fort
McPherson. A few days later an order for
a dozen bottles came from the same
source, and the soldier attributes his re
storation to health and strength exclu
sively to the great liquid food which was so
kindly introduced to his notice by the
sympathizing lady.
The Acme Brewing Campany will ship a
crate of two dozen bottlese of the tonic to
any address for $3.
OPPOSITION TO
VACCINATION
As a Compulsory Precedent to
Entrance to the Schools
Found Little Support.
COL. NISBETT'S STATEMENT
On the Snbject of the Hatcher Inci
dent—He Assumed the Entire
Responsibility for His Action.
The Board of Education met last night
for the first time since July. Twelve mem
bers of the fifteen were present. The board
first took up the matter of vaccination. A
resolution was introduced which was to
abolish vaccination until the city was
again threatened with smallpox. The res
olution stated that it was unnecessary to
vaccinate the school children at this time
but it also stated that when the time came
for vaccination the board would rigidly
enforce the rule. The resolution was voted
down by the board and the superintendent
was ordered to get a fresh supply of vacine
points.
The teachers’ committee reported that
Elizabeth Johnson had resigned her place
in the Turpin street colored school. Hattie
was appointed to fill her place.
A petition from the Carnival Association
was read asking that the children be given
a holiday during the Carnival and it was
referred to a special committee to look
into the matter.
A motion was introduced to -teach book
keeping in the High School was introduced
but no action was taken op the matter as
it was referred to the committee on text
books.
President Nisbet then read the following
communication to the board regarding the
Hatcher incident which took place in June:
"Before the regular work of the evening
is taken up, I desire to make a statement
to the board regarding my action in re
fusing to permit Sidney Hatcher to deliver
Judge Speer's 'Battle Abbey’ address at
the closing exercises pf our High school
in June of this year.
“As is well known, the relations exist
ing between Judge Speer and myself are
unpleasant; and as young Hatcher had al
ready delivered the same speech at the
High school celebration of General Lee’s
birthday, only a short time before, I felt,
and still feel, that he should have appre
ciated my position as presiding officer at
the commencement exercises, and deliver
ed, as he was asked to do. some other se
lection; the more especially as he admit
ted that he was equally prepared with an
other speech which was quite as suitable
to the occasion.
Therefore, when this young man, after
learning these facts and my objections,
and even after advising with his friends,
still insisted on delivering the speech, I
conceived that there was a deliberate pur
pose to modify me and for this reason and
acting upon my individual responsibility,
I forbade its delivery.
“I did not intend nor desire in the in
terview published at the time in the Con
stitution to commit this board either as a
body or individually, to an endorsement of
my course in the matter; for I acted on
my own motion and without consideration
with any member.
"Recognizing that I have friends on this
board who are also friends of Judge Speer,
and recalling to mind the fact that as your
president, I am discharging a high public
trust, I now, after having time for ma
turer consideration, regret' that I did not
even in the very brief space then allowed
me, submit to the decision of this board
the question as to whether my personal
feelings should be considered in determin
ing the matter.”
The board commended Hie position taken
by Mr. Nisbet and his statement was ap
proved.
THIRD GEORGIA
Will Probably Leave for Jacksonville by End
of Week.
Griffin, Ga., September 13.-—The Third
Georgia regiment. which the secre
tary of war has decided to retain in
service in preference to the First and the
Second, will probably receive orders to
move from its present encampment at
Giffin before the last of the week.
No information as to the disposition of
teh Third Georgia has reached the depart
ment of the gulf, but several of the officers
who were in the city yesterday stated that
they had received information that the
Third Georgia would be sent to Jackson
ville Wednesday or Thursday.
Whether this movement of the regiment
will interfere with the plan of Governor
Atkinson, which has been accepted by the
war department, to allow all the soldiers
in the regiment left in the service to be
discharged while those men in the other
two regiments who wish to remain in the
field, to be transferred to the Third, is not
known. It is probable it will not.
This was the understanding had by Gov
ernor Atkinson while in Washington, but
it seems to be the intention of the secre
tary of war to put the men in camp with
General Lee’s corps as early as possible,
so they can be prepared in ease they are
ordered to Cuba in the near future.
Part of the Third ‘Georgia has not been
equipped, according to the statement of
some of the officers of the command, and
some time will be required to give the men
full equipment. It has been the custom of
the officials of the war department in
handling the recruits to give to detach
ments complete equipment before sending
them to the recruit camp, and in this way
the troops have been enabled to form com
panies and get down to drilling without
any delay
One of the officers in the city yesterday
stated that he was in Griffin at the time
the order for the Third to remain in the
service was received.
“You never saw such a jubilation.” said
he. "among a regiment of men before in
your life. The great percentage of the men
were anxious to remain in the field and
were terribly disappointed when it was an
nounced the first time that the Second
Georgia had been selected to remain in
stead of the Third.
“From what has been received from
Washington I believe that the regiment
will be sent to Jacksonville Wednesday to
be attached to General Lee’s corps at
■Camp Cuba Libre.”
The frequent change of orders from
Washington in regard to the Georgia regi- I
ments has not only excited comment in '
this state, but also in the North, and the I
men of the regiments and the public gen
erally are glad that the final disposition i
has been made.
The rule established by the secretary of I
war that the regiment first mustered" in ■
will be the first mustered out. has been
arried out with the volunteer regiments '
so far, and the men of the Third Georgia
are delighted that the rule has applied
with the same force in Georgia as it has in
other states.
Transportation to Jacksonville will be '
furnished the Third Georgia regiment
through Colonel Simpson, assistant quar
termaster of the department of the gulf,
and it is probable that officer will get or
ders from Washington to that effect before
the last of the week.

The money which was left over after the
reunion, and which mounts to something
like $3,800, has been turned over to the
board of trustees appointed by the asso
ciation, and if the legislature sees fit to
open the Soldiers’ Home and to appropriate
an amount for the running of the institu
tion, this fund of $3,800 will be turned over
to the home.
It will be the duty of the committee to
appear before the legislature and request
that, the home be opened, and this fund in
the custody of the trustees will be offered
at that time.
If, however, the state takes no action
in the matter, this money will be used for
the purpose of relieving the sufferings of
the veterans in Fulton county, and for
furnishing them with medicines and other
necessities during life and paying their bu
rial expenses at death.

FOR REBUILDING
OF CATHEDRAL.
The Plans Are All Ready and
Bids Will Be Opened
this Month.
I
Savannah, Sept. 13. —The plans and the
specifications for rebuilding and remodel
ing the Cathedral have been ready for
some time, and they are now in the bands
! of the contractors, who will bid on the
1 work. The bids must all be in the hands
of the committee on September 24th, and
i thehy will be opened and passed upon Sep
; tamber 25th.
Among the changes and modifications
proposed by the committee in charge will
be the opening up of the vestibule clear
across the church by putting arches in the
towers, so as to give free access between
■the north and south aisles without the ne
cessity of going inside the church. The
baptistry in the northert nower will be re
moved, and the stairways to the basement
and to the choir gallery will be located
there. The depth of the choir gallery will
be considerably reduced, a light and more
modern gallery being substituted, the ap
proach to which will be through narrow
galleries.
The towers will be reinforced by brick
interior facings, and tied by heavy steel jar
iron rods, sixteen to each tower, to make
them absolutely secure. The late storm
seems to have tested their strength to the
saticfaction of every one. The towers will
also be made fireproof by the use of hol
low brick floors resting on steel beams
The main floor of the cathedral will be
made of hollow fireproof brick, resting on
steel "I” beams and iron columns The
■principal aisles will he floored with tiling.
The window sills will be lowered and cap
ped with stone, and the metal sash frames
will be so adjusted as to improve and in
crease the ventilation of the building. The
wainscoting around the of the build
ing will be of colored marble, instead of
wood, as heretofore.
The roof and aisle roofs will be of steel
or iron framing, and absolutely fire proof.
The only extensive addition to the build
ing will be the Sacred Heart chapel on the
northeast corner p.f the building, in place
of the present altar. This chapel will ex
tend back about forty feet, ending in a half
octagon, in which will be located the altar,
and the ceiling 'here will be the same
height and style as the groined arch ceil
ing of the side aisles.
The altar, on the south side of the main
altar, will 'be recessed back about fifteen
feet, and the ceiling will fee of the same
height and style as in the north chapel.
The triforium galleries will be removed on
account of the increased height of the
ceilings of these two chapels,
The main altar will he brought forward
into the sanctuary about eight feet. These
changese in this part of the church will
require some considerable changes in the
altar railing, and will also add much tu
the beauty of that part of the church. The
outside of the cathedral will be cemented
over in a manner similar to the old build
ing.
For the present the windows will be of
plain frosted glass, until some of the lib
eral members of the congregation are in
cited to restore the handsome stained glass
windows that formerly adorned the church.
The successful bidder will be expected
to begin work at once and will be rejuired
to complete the building by December 1,
1899. This work does not include pews,
organs, altars, pulpit, confessional of any
of the interior furnishings or paraphernalia
of the church.
Pay third installment of
city tax by September 15 and
save tax execution.
TAX RETURNS.
Consolidation of the Taxes as Made Up by
the Corr ptroller.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13. —Captain Tip Har
rison, of the comptroller general’s office,
has completed the aggregate tax returns of
the state for the year 1898, aud these show
a falling off of $916,509. But for the fact
that the list of defaulters is unusually
large, and that these are double taxed, the
returns this year would have been consid
erably less than last year.
The aggregate returns for 1898 are $369,-
118,403, as compared to $370,034,912 in 1897.
The single value of the property of the de
faulters this year is $2,862,603, as compared
to $1,336,201 last year. It will be seen that
the value of the property of defaulters this
year is almost double what it was last
year. This property is double taxed, and
owing to its increase, the difference in. the
returns between 1897 and 1898 is made con
sider ably less.
The property on which the tax is cofiec
ted and the amount is as follows:
Aggregate value of land, $119,119,787; ag
gregate value of city or town property,
$116,948,535; bicyclese, $99,236; value of
$116,948,535; bicycles, $99,236; value of
shares in national and state banks in the
state, $12,566,366; building and loan asso
ciations, $776,910; amount of money and
solvent debts of all kinds, $3,044,704; mer
chandise of every kind, $18,993,393; capital
in shipping and tonnage, $721,453; stocks
and bonds, $4,255,304; manufactories, SB,-
463,878; iron works, foundries, etc., $871,-
595; capital invested in mining, $76,242;
value of household and kitchen furniture,
$15,539,575; watches, silver plate and jew
elery, $1,164,835; live stock, $20,954,187;
plantation and mechanical tools, law and
other libraries, $4,879,523; crops and pro
visions held for sale April Ist, $954,601;
value of other property not before enumer
ated, $7,724,632; value of property of de
faulters, not doubled, $2,862,603; aggregate
value of whole property, $369,118,403;
amount of tax on professions, $48,000;
amount of tax on polls, $322,555.
The only new item on the completed di
' gest is that of bicycles. The professional
returns are as follows:
