A Committee Appointed to Consoli
date and Equalize the Pension Laws.
The Speaker Classes Dogs as Prop
erty by Casting His Vote to Settle
a Tie—Farm Products as Futures.
Atlanta, GA.,July 21.—Lectured Craw
ford had the floor when the House was ready
for business this morning. It was an unu
sual sight to see a negro making an elab
orate argument of this kind. He was
listened to with attention. There was
nothing offensive about it, but his speech
was rambling and disconnected. “My
grandfather was a white man,” said
he, in a burst of eloquence, "and
why should 1 not wish to be at peace
with my white neiehbor? My father was a
white man, and why should my hand be
against his people?” The speech was in
opposition to the bill of Mr. Johnson of
Appling, to provide separate cars for white
and black passengers.
ADVOCATED BY ITS AUTHOR.
Following after Crawford, the author of
the bill spoke briefly in favor of it.
Mr. Fleming of Richmond opposed it.
Mr. Hartridge of Chatham favored it.
Mr. Huff of Bibb opposed it a dangerous
and hasty legislation. Dealing "ith race
prejudice was unjust to the railroads, in
making them responsible for the mistakes
of the conductor, who is required to sepa
rate the two classes of passengers. "An un
written law is what we need, said he, "and
that we have already."
The bill was recommitted to the commit
twso railroads.
This is the House committee, announced
to day “to consolidate and equalize the
pension laws of this state as to disabled
soldiers’ and widows'pensions: ’Mr. Berner,
chairman, and Messrs. Phillips of Haber
sham, Hardeman, Huff, Maxwell, Cults and
Bharp of Carroll.
DOGS AS PROPERTY.
An important bill on its third reading to
day was a bill by Mr. Fleming of Rich
mond, to make dogs "property” in Georgia,
affected with all the rights and liabilities of
other personal property. It provoked a
lengthy discussion, and the House had lots
of fun over it. The bill had 78 votes, which
gave the speaker a vote and this passed it.
Among the bills passed were the following:
To amend section 3777 of the code by ad
ding after subdivision the words "or for
any other reason the clerk is disqualified
from testifying.’
To prohibit the buying or selling of farm
products, sugar, coffee, cotton, salt and
meat for future delivery. This is to break
up gambling in futures and does not apply
to the taking of orders for actual and bona
fide delivery.
A bill drawn by Controller General
Wright to amecd an act to provide for
keeping a record in each county of this state
of wild sands lying and being therein, by
inserting after the word “act” in the second
line of the fourth section these words: “The
sheriff shall, within thirty days from the
date of said sale, make sworn statements,
one to the state treasurer and one to the
controller general, showing what lauds
were sold by number and district: and, see
ond, the amount of the purchase money,
the amount of tne legal costs and advertis
ing, the amount of the tax and the surplus,
and pay to the state treasurer the state tax
surplus and pay to the county treasurer the
county tax. Should said sheriff fail or refuse
to make this statement, as required by this
act, or fail to remit amounts
above referred to, the title
to said lords thus sold shall bo null and
void, and the sheriff shall bo liable, or his
bond to the purohasers of said land for all
damages they may sustain by reason of
such failure, and strike out ‘ ‘sheriff” in the
eleventh line and insert "state treasurer,”
and by striking out all of said section after
“sale” in the eleventh line.
Among the visitors extended the cour
tesies of the House to-day, was James L.
Gaines, now of Nashville, for many years a
prominent business mau and popular citizen
of Savannah.
SESSION OP THE SENATE.
Senator Ellington Replies to tbe Attack
of Representative Fleming.
Atlanta, Ga., July 21, —Before to-day’s
session of the Senato began it was generally
known that Senator Ellington would
answer the attack made by Mr. Fleming in
the House yesterday. No one would have
been surprised if ho had been much more
biiter than he was. An opportunity did
not present itself until 11:30 o’clock, when
the senator arose and said-
Mr. President— l rise to a question of per
sonal privilege. On yesterday an attack was
made on me in the House by one of the rapre
eentatires from Richmond which calls for a
reply from me. When I first heard of the at
tack, 1 was indignant and thought I would an
swer in no measured terms, but I have changed
my mind. [When he went into a discussion of
his reasons for opposing the House bill to
reapportion the senatorial districts He
said that the gentleman from Richmond
was very smart, but others had
brains besides him and the Senate was not to
be governed by any S'ich.l He seems to me to
be a fit illustration of Joues’ dog it s the hit
dog that yells. I don't mean to insinuate that
the gentleman has selfish ends which ho w ishes
to gratify by the passage of this bill, hut it cer
tainly seems so to me. Mr. President with
these remarks. I leave the gentleman to the con
tempt be deserves.
THE STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONERBIIIP.
The bill providing that the office of
the state sehool commissioner be made
elective by changing the constitution
so as to permit it, was taken
up and read a second time. This bill
has been before the judiciary committee
aud was reported unfavorably, but, on mo
tion, the report was disagreed to. Mr. Cab
aniss, a member of the judiciary commit
tee. wanted it returned to the committee.
Senator E. B. Smith wanted it sent to the
agricultural committee, of which he was a
member. He made some remarks that Mr.
Oabaniss understood as a reflection on the
fairness of his committee, and Mr. Cabaniss
made a very warm rejoinder. Mr. Smith
said he intended no reflection. Both of the
gentlemen wanted a chauce at the bill in the
committee rooms. One wanted to kill it
and the other wanted to pass it. It went to
the judiciary committee.
President Mitchell appointed a commit
tee to investigate the freight and passenger
charges of the railroads in the state as fol
lows: G. W. Warren of the Eighteenth, J.
M. Terrell of the Thirty-sixth and W. C.
Gill of the Tenth. These are to act with the
House committee.
DRUGGISTS’ LICENSES.
There was quite a lively discussion in the
Senate this morning directly after the
reading of the journal. Mr. O’Neal of the
Eighth district moved to reconsider the pas
sage of the bill restricting the issuance of
licenses by the state board of pharmacy. It
was soon seen that both sides would make a
hard fight. Mr. O’Neal lead for reconsider
ation. and Mr. Cabaniss and Mr-Beck led
the opposition. The bill changes- the law
in one respect only—physicians must be
examined the same as all other applicants
for license to sell drugs. The vote stood

GROUND KENT LOT TAXES
TFXT OF THE DECISION AGAINST
J. D. WEED.
Tne City's Contract With the Pur
chasers Held to Constitute th© Latter
the Virtual Owners of the Property.
The City in the Same Position as a
Man Giving a Bond for Title.
Atlanta. Ga., July 21.—The supreme
court has handed down a decision in the
ease of Weed et al. vs. the mayor and
aldermen of the city of Savannah. The
judges say: "Some cases task the anxious
diligence of the court, not by their diffi
culty, but thfir simplicity. This is ODe of
them. Because the case seeemed too plain
for controversy, we have had some appre
hension that we might decide it incorrectly.
Impressed always by the ability and learn
ing, the wide research and earnest advocacy
of the distinguished counsel for the plain-
tiffs, we have experienced a vague
dread that we might stumble over
legal obstacles which, if they exist,
a treacherous darkness conceals. In order to
examine the eround thoroughly we have
held up the case for months, read authori
ties, cited and not cited, perused books be
fore unknown to us,deliberated, meditated,
considered and reconsidered. But to the
last hour we have discovered nothing
debatable in the controversy raised for our
decision, fringed though it certainly is with
technical niceties of great de. cacy and
much interest. To which side the artificial
logic of these nioeties would incline the
scale is immaterial, for the solid practical
subject of taxation must be dealt with on
broader principles. The value of the
property consists in its use, and he who
owns the use forever, though it be on
condition subsequent, is the true owner of
the property for the time being. This holds
equally of a city lot, or of all the land in
the world.
OBJECT OF TAXATION.
“Where taxation is ad valorum, values
are the ultimate object of taxation,and they
to whom the values belong should pay the
taxes. Land sold by a contract of bargain
and sale,or demised forever subject to a per
petual rent, is taxable as corporeal proper
ty: and in private hands the rent also is
taxable as an incorporeal heridi lament. The
tax on the former is chargeable to the pur
chaser or perpetual tenant, and on the lat
ter to the owner of the rent. The corporeal
property in such a case is at the
direct risk of the purchaser. He alone
sustains the losses of depreciation in
value and be alone takes the benefit of ap
preciation. The vender risks only the fixed
rent, or the fixed purchase money, and
neither of these will ever beoome more or
less by anything which may happen to the
premises, only his security, not his prop
erty, will be affected thereby.
"It is to be assumed that the whole con
tract between parties will be observed, not
broken, and their true relation to the prop
erty is to be determined on that assump
tion.
CONSTITUTES OWNERSHIP.
The possession of real estate attended with
an indefeasible right to occupy In perpet
uity and also with an indefeasible right to
be clothed with the fee upon the voluntary
payment of a fixed sum as
purchase money, will constitute
the purchaser the substantial owner of the
property so long as his possession, supple
mented with these rights continues. Ho is
not a mere lessee, but a purchaser admitted
into possession ou tho faith of his contract
of purchase. Such were the contracts in
volved in the present case, and under them
tho purchasers have the aotual possession
and the use of the premises, with tho right
to hold forever, on condition of paying up
the purchase money whenever they please,
and until that time an actual ground rent,
due by quarterly installments, the amount
of which is fixed by the contract, and is the
equivalent of interest at a moderate rate
per annum on the unpaid purchase money.
In all respects, so far as liability for taxes
is concerned, these purchasers are in the posi
tion of ordinary purchasers in possession
under a bond for title, and those last are
chargeable with accruing taxes on the land
so held.
I THE CITY NOT A BENEFICIARY.
‘Not an lota of beneficial ownership in the
city lots now in question abides in the mu
nicipality. The city but retained a quali
fied and wholly unproduotive title as secu
rity for the purchase money, and until that
shall be paid, as security also for
the annually accruing compensa
tion under the name of ground rents
in lieu of interest on that money. If the
municipal government held all the values
in the city as trustee* for the owners, or as
security for purchase money, these values
would be none the leas taxable for that
reason. The constitution of the state re
quires that taros on property shall be ad
valorem, and that when any part is taxed
all shall be taxed, which is subject for the
time being to the taxing power in
tho given locality. This rule is without ex
ception. It prevails in Savannah, mayor
and aldermen of Savannati vs. Weed, 84
Georgia, 683. The property iu question is
situated iu that city, and, as already said,
its beneficial ownership is not in the mu
nicipality, but in those who long ago pur
chased it from the city, or who hold under
suoh purchases by succession of their title.
Relative to the question of taxation, it
makes no substantial difference whether the
estate or property of beneficial owners be
classed as realty or personalty. Whatever
property of either kind belongs to them is
taxable ad valorem.
PROPEHTY OF THE PURCHASERS.
“That the so-called ground rent lots, ns
long as the conditions of sale are unbroken,
are the property of tbe purchasers follows
from what was decided by this court in Law
rence vs. the mayor, 71 Georgia, 392; and
that case shows that even after the condi
tion was broken the limit of the city’s rights
would generally be to have all arrearages
cleared and discharged, the surplus pro
ceeds realized by a sale of the property be
ing payable to tho real owners. Our reason
for the conclusion at which we have arrived
need not be further elaborated.
The constitution is imperative that
property is to lie taxed ad valorum. The
foundation principally of such a system is
that those who own and enjoy the values
are to pay the taxes. The real owners of
the money which these lots would now sell
for on the market are the persons whom we
have designated as owners, and it is upon
the cash market value that the taxes are
assessable. If that value Is any less on ac
count of the subjection of tbe property to
ground rents or unpaid purchase money,
than it otherwise would be, that fact would
no doubt be taken into consideration in
making the assessment. The market value,
whatever that may be, is the proper basis.
"There was no error either of practice
or decision iu denying tho injunction.
Whatever the expectation of the purchasers,
or the unbroken practice of the city hith
erto may have been, the mandate of the
constitution of 1876 is to tax all property,
save that expressly exempted by the legis
lature under constitutional authority, if
any is taxed. That this mandate may have
heietofore been disregarded is no reason
why it should not be obeyed now. The
judgment is affirmed.”
LOSS OF THE CIRCE.
The Captain and Five of Her Crew
Drowned.
Montreal, July 21.— The agents of the
Donaldson line steamer Circe, ashore at
East Cape, Island of Anticosta, to-day re
ceived dispatches which show that the
wreck is much worse than at first supposed.
Capt. Jenr.iugs and five of tho crew have

pletely wrecked.

GEN. ANDERSON’S BRIGADE IS
The Veterans Hold a Reunion at
Marietta.
Marietta, Ga., July 21.—Sometime ago
Gen. Anderson issued the following call:
My Old Comrades It is proposed to have
a reunion of nay old brigade at Marietta, Ga.,
July 21. 1891, at which time I hope to meet you
all once more. Come, it may be the last time
we shall meet before we cross over the river.
Come, and let us enjoy ourselves in recounting
the glories and the Hardships of the past In
the past at the word ''attention." you were
always ready. I now. perhaps, fo* the last time
give the order. "Attention." Win you heed the
command?
THE REUNION.
Each one of these old comrades that
could respond did so. The reunion was
held to-day in the Glover grove. The
crowd was estimated at 5,000. The city
and county turned out en masse. Gen.
Anderson was the honored hero of the day.
His tall, manly form shows the stoop of
age, but still the full vigor of perfected
manhood is his. He could again head such
a brigade, and go through another four
years’ campaign.
the address of welcome.
The address of welcome was made by
Capt. W. J. Hudson of the Seventh Georgia.
Capt. Hudson met the expectations of his
friends and the demands of the hour. In the
absence of Judge George Hillyer, who was
to make the response, Capt. VV. J. Jones of
the Ninth Georgia, made the address in re
oly. The speech of the occasion was made
oy Col. Jones of the First Kentucky regi
mout, who followed Capt. W. J. Jones of
Georgia. His wit and humor, and his
pathos and tenderness are inimitable. He
captured the crowd, not only by his words,
facts, etc., but by the manner of his
utterance.
EX-GOV. m’daniel’s speech.
Ex-Gov. McDaniel was the next speaker.
His remarks were timely pointed and well
received.
Capt. Milledge of the First Qeorgia regu
lars made a telling speech. He referred in
a tender way to the absentees, not to those
who had died or been prevented from com
ing through health and strength, but to
the wounded and penniless veterans in the
home in Atlanta. He enthused the vast
crowd by calling upon the legislature to
adopt that home and provide for its mainte
nance.
CHEEP.S FOR GEN. ANDERSON.
Other speeches were made, and then In
answer to a loud call Gen. Anderson came
to the front amidst the shouts of thousands.
He made only a short speech, but it satis
fied bis friends. The very sight of the old
veteran seemed to enthuse the people. He
was the hero of the hour.
Long rows of tables were standing on the
beautiful grove burdened with good things.
In soldier-form and regular step the vet
erans were led by the general to the charge
and sad havoc was made, loaving but a
meager sight of the enemy.
Part of the afternoon was given to busi
ness meetings, and then the session was
over. It was a pleasant and profitable oc
casion. But little was said or thought of
politics. Sad memories and pleasant ones
were stirred up. Strong men, not given to
melting words, were moved to tears. It
was an hour that brought good and not
evil.
HYDROPHOBIA AMONG FOXES.
People Afraid to Pass Through the
Woods Around Plneopolle.
Charleston, 8. C., July 21.—Last fall
the conntry around Pineopolis, a suburb of
this city, was demoralized by reports of the
ravages of mad foxes. The startling news
was received to-day that the disease among
foxes has spread through the country, and
that it has become dangerous to travel
through the woods. A planer from Ten
Mile Hill reports that tbe woods in that sec
tion are full of mad foxes, and that a sori
ous state of affairs exists there. The negro
population, which is very dense around the
phosphate mines, is in an utter state of
panic. Many persons have been attacked
by rabid foxes within the past few days,
and thut far thirteen persons have been
severely bitten.
A NEGRO ATTACKED.
To-day a negro named William Frazer
had a desperate onconnter with one of the
animals. The fox rushed at him and a
lively fight ensued, the man being
unarmed. His clothes were torn into
shreads, but ha finally succeeded in beating
tbe beast off without suffering any serious
injury. Two of these mad foxes have been
tbuß far killed, but tho entire
population is now up in arms,
and an effort will be made
to clear the animals out. None
of the persons bitten by the foxes have as
yet shown symptoms of hydrophobia. The
theory is advanced that the disease is caused
by the drought. That section of the country
was formerly swampy but it is said that
since tbe earthquake of 1886 the water
basinß in the forests have become dry, the
rain water seeming to pass into the bowels
of tbe earth almost as soon as it falls.
BALM ACE DA’S IRON RULE.

London, July 21.—The new steel
American steamer Charles W. Wetmore,
Capt. Saunders, which sailed from Duluth,
Minn., auring the latter part of June, ar
rived at Liverpool to-day. The Wetmore
is an inland built steamer and her cargo,
which consists of 95,000 bushels of grain is
the first grain cargo shipped from
a lake port direct to Liverpool
without being rehandled. Her route was
down the lakes from Duluth, through the
Welland csnal. and thence down the St.
Lawrence river and across the Atlantic
ocean. The success of this voyage is eVi
detice that the proposition to establish di
rect communication between European and
other ports and the port of Chicago is
entirely feasible.
DISTRESS AT BUENOS AYRES.
Men Forced By Hunger to Seek Food
from the Offal Beeps.
London, July 21.—A special from Buenos
Ayres says: “Intense distress p:evails here
among the poor. Prices are advancing
rapidly. A barrel of flour has within a
month risou from $lB in paper
to S2B 50. Man are frequently seen
picking food from offal heaps.
Business people blame English bankers for
their policy of propping up the Barings
and thus causing the crisis. Public feeling
is bitter against the English, and British
flags displayed in honor of national fetes
are torn down.”
