Sept. 13.—1 n a very few montiit. this country will possess quite an important addition to its resources for home defense.

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.

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.

General Evans Has Appointed a Committee to Take Action. Atlanta, Sept. 13. —General Clement A. Evans, president of the Confederate Re union Association, has appointed a com mitttee of twenty-five to go before the leg islature and request that the money which was left after the reunion be used for the purpose of opening the Soldiers’ Home. The members of this committee are re quested to meet Monday afternoon, Sep tember 19th, at 4 o’clock in room 301, Kiser building, to formulate plans for the work. The committee consists of fourteen mem bers from the city and eleven members from the state at large. The following are the members appointed by General Evans: From Atlanta—W. L. Calhoun, chair man: C. A. Collier, F. P. Rice, Hoke Smith, R. D. Spalding, Porter King, W. J. Mallard, Jr., Clark Howell, T. B. Neal, J. C. Hendrix, W. D. Ellis, C. I. Branan, W. A. Hemphill and E.

Prince, Dahlonega; H. G. j Turner, Quitman; W. F. Jenkins, Eaton -1 ton; M. I. Branch, Berzelia, and W. S. I Coleman, Cpdartown. 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. Pay third installment of city tax by September 15 and save tax execution. 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.
