TIED TEAMS TO PLAY.
Guards and CSintlinms at Indoor nail
To-nlglit.
The game of indoor ball between the
Savannah Volunteer Guards and Chatham
Artillery teams to-night promises to lie
the hardest struggle that has yet been
engaged in by the teams of the Military
League.
The teams are now tied for first place,
and the result of the game will be await
ed anxiously by the admirers of both. The
friends of the Chathams are jubilant on
account of their successive victories over
the Guards and Cadets, and feel confident
that the game will place them in the lead.
The Guards have put in some hard prac
tice since their last game, and promise to
set the Artillerymen a hot pace. It is safe
to say, however, that neither team will
have a walkover, and the winners will
have to play ball.
The game will be called at 9 o’clock, and
the line-up of the teams will probably
be as follows;
Chathams. Guards.

CONCORD LODGE’S CONCERT.
Entertained Its Friends at Odd Fel
lows Hall.
Odd Fellow's hall was filled last night
with the members and friends of Concord
Lodge No. 17. The programme, which had
been arranged, proved a very enjoyable
one. Past Grand AI tster A. N.- Manucy
discoursed on Odd Fellowship as he well
knows how to do from long experience.
A vocal duet, “Drifting With the Tide,”
was rendered by Mr. Alanucy's little
daughters, Misses Lillian and 6tella.
A recitation by Miss Tassie Oliver, "The
College Oil Can,” won hearty applause.
Aliss Virgie Ashley played the “March
From Tanhauser” as a piano solo, and, in
response to applause, “Schuloff’s Waltz.”
Air. John Catlierwood distinguished him
self by his recitation of “The Hero En
gineer."
'The castanet dance by Alisa Alabel Ware
pleased the audience so well that it had to
be repeated.
The reading of the "Bicycle Story,” by
Miss ’Lionnle Brockway was one of the best
things of the evening. Aliss Brockway re
sponded to a recall with a recitation of
“Bill Smith.”
The vocal solo “Burst Ye Apple Buds,”
by Mrs. C. D. .Mize, was very much en
joyed. Mrs. Mize responded to the encore
with “Robin Adair.”
The programme closed with a short ad
dress by Rev. W. C. Schaeffer of the
Lutheran Church of the Ascension.
Refreshments were served, followed by
dancing and some time was spent very en
joyably.

TO DEVELOP MANUFACTURES.
COL. GORDON’S POSITION ON THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
He Believes That Eaeli Community
Should Decide the Question for
Itself—He Is, Therefore, Opposed to
State Exemption, Rut in Fnvor ot
County and Municipal Exemption
at the Option of Eaeli Community.
His Idea That Factories W ill Tend
Greatly to Relieve the Cotton
Grower.
Col. W. W. Gordon, who was one of the
representatives of the Cotton Exchange at
the recent convention in Atlanta to urge
a constitutional amendment to permit
municipalities and counties to exempt new
manufacturing industries from .taxation
for a limited time, made one of the strong
est speeches upon this subject of any de
livered at the convention.
Col. Gordon was upon the programme to
respond to the address of welcome, but
when the time came for this he suggested
that It would be best to take up business
first, and continue the speech makjng later,
which suggestion was adopted. As chair
man of the committee on resolutions, Col.
Gordon submitted the resolution calling
upon the legislature to pass an act sub
mitting to the voters of the state an
amendment to the constitution authorizing
such exemptions from taxations on manu
facturing enterprises as will enable the
state to keep pace with the inducements
offered by other states.
Col. Gordon opposed the part of the reso
lution favoring exemption from state taxes
and in doing so spoke as follows:
"I want to say something about the res
olution and explain why I am interested
in this movement. I am not a manufactur
er nor am I interested in manufactures. I
am and have been a merchant all my life.
But in connection with my mercantile bus
iness I come in contact with and am in
terested in the welfare of many hundreds
of farmers each year, and it is in their
behalf that I have come to this convention,
and I ask you to consider the status of the
cotton farmer of Georgia. Upon the broad
foundation of their prosperity rests the
success and even the existence of our cities
and all other branches of industry and the
farmer in the Atlantie’ctates cannot pros
per with cotton netting him only 4 to 4%
cents, as it has done during the past sea
son.
“The rice culture of the Carolinas and
Georgia has been crippled and well-nigh
destroyed by rice culture in Louisiana,
where a generation ago little or no rice
was raised.
“The Mississippi valley and the states
west of the Mississippi are crippling and
will eventually destroy cotton culture in
the Atlantic states unless some remedy Is
applied and applied quickly.
“If cbtton continues at present prices
for a few years longer there will be such
an emigration from Georgia and the At
lantic states as will not only rob them
of the bone and sinew of their population,
but will leave so much land vacant that
the value of all land will decline in the
country and all real estate in the cities.
From such a calamity there would be no
recuperation until after a time the cheap-
land attracted other settlers.
“It is useless to talk about reduction
in acreage, because so many farmers make
their crops with borrowed money, or with
provisions bought on credit that they
must plant cotton, for it is almost thejonly
cotton crop.
"Besides, this reduced acreage (even if
it were possible) would only be a tempo
rary relief, because higher prices due to
“mqller crops would simply stimulate pro
duction in competing countries. Necessity
is driving the farmer in the direction of di
versifying his crops and raising his pro
visions, but it will require years to ac
complish tills change of crops, and mean
while the farmer must get sufficient re
turns from his land and his labor to sup
port himself and family or he will move
to where more fertile land will afford bet-
ter nay for his labor,
“What we are proposing now is to give
inducements for factories and thus create
home buyers who can afford to pay for
cotton more than the distant spinner, who
has to pay freight and other expenses.
“The expenses between the plantation
and the Northern mill will average more
than one cent per pound, to the European
mill two cents per pound. If there were
factories in every neighborhood of Geor
gia sufficient to consume its cotton, the
spinner could and would pay the furrier
more than our exporters could pay. Even
if he did not pay on average of one cent
mare he would certainly pay not less than
one-quarter of a cent and more likely half
-i cent per pound. On the Georgia crop
of 1,000,000 bales this would be $2,300,000
which would go Into the poolcets of the
farmers.
‘The experience of Savannah shows how
the farmer is benefited by reducing or
eliminating freight charges. The ocean
bar at the inoulh of the Savannah river
has a depth of twenty-six feet at high
tide. Owing to obstructions placed in the
river during the war. the channel had
shoaled until the usual high water draft
for vessels to and from the city was about
fourteen and one-half feet.
“In 1873 the United States Government
appropriated sums of money to improve
the navigation of the river, but the
amounts were small and not sufficient for
continuous work, and In the intervals of
work the river rapidly shoaled again.
“In 1890 Congress appropriated $350,f>00
and in 1892 authorized the work to be enr
ried on under a cont nuous contract sys
tem, looking to the attainment of twenty
six feet from the wharves to the ocean.
“The Government has expended less than
$5,000,000 on this work and :wcn
ty-four feet of water has already become
on assured fact, and when the engineer’s
plans are fully carried out the twenty-six
feet will be obtained
“In 1872 the export* and Imports of Sa
vannah by water amounted to $72,000,000:
now they are $130,000,000 annually. This
was a gain for Savannah, but the greatest

gain was for the farmers of Georgia and
the neighboring states. The greater depth
of water enabled the employment of large
vessels at lower freights. In cotton the
saving has been equal to 1 cent per pound,
ns European freights are now half a pen.
ny or one cent lower than they were in
1372. So that with a million of bales of
cotton passing annually through the port
of Savannah there has been a saving in
freight equal to $5,000,000 annually. Every
dollar of this saving goes to the cotton
farmer, because the price on the planta
tion is always the price at the mill minus
the expense of the transfer from the farm
to the factory.
"This illustrates the effect which a
home market created by the buying of
neighborhood factories would have upon
the price the farmers would receive for
their cotton, because as the home spin
ners pay less freight or none at all they
can afford to pay more for their cotton.
“The constitution of Georgia forbids
any discrimination in taxation and it will
require an amendment to the constitution
to permit exemption. Can anyone object
to such a constitutional amendment? No
taxpayer is interested except those in the
county or municipality desirous of secur
ing manufactories. If the taxpayer there
decides that the establishment of the fac
tory will help his county or town suffi
ciently to warrant granting the exemption
he will favor it. If not, he will oppose
it. The decision will be made by local
option and that is the essence of democ
racy.
“It may be class legislation and opposed
to the theory upon which taxation is bas
ed but if no one can receive any pecuniary
harm except the taxpayer in> the county
or municipality and he consents and if the
state taxes are benefited by ( the new cap
ital to tax and if the municipality is ben
efited by employment given to its citizens
and those who, attracted by the factory,
become its citzens and is benefited by the
wages of these employes spent in the
county or the city and if the neighborhood
is benefited by more ednsumers of its food
products and if the country is benefited
by a home market for Us cotton, why
should legislators hesitate to give an op
portunity to the voters of the state to act
upon such an amendment? I am opposed
to the amendment to include exemption
from state taxes, because it strikes’ at the
root of one of the ideas involved in the
resolution, which is that exemption from,
taxes should only be conferred by the
localities where manufactories are to be
established. This idea ia the reverse of
the principal of a protective tariff.
"The protective tariff levies a contri
bution from all consutners for the profit
of the manufacturer and those who supply
his raw material. The exemption by a
county or a municipality takes nothing
from any one without tlieir consent, and
those who consent do so because they ex
pect to get more indirectly than they give.
In addition to those locally Interested the
producers of cotton near, but not imme
diately at the factory, share in the in
creased price paid for their cotton, al
though they may be outside of the town
or the county granting the exemption, and
who thus contribute nothing directly or
indirectly to the ecoiomy of running the
factory."

The committee, which has had charge of
the organization of the new band for f’-a

It was decided after some consideration
to give a concert complimentary to the
band, probably at tho theater at an early
date. The date has not been selected be
cause it has not been learned just when
the theater can be secured. The commit
