••Why?" stareM the reporter.
•"Simply because there are objeodons
which can never be met. They have
aftways prevented the Huocras of such
aetecnpti*. and they are Ju»t ae Strong
now am over, I, for one, will oppose
annemtlon to the teat. Three elections
have already been bad on t!hle name
qivstloo. In one the vote stood 99 to 0
against annexation. In another the
count alhowed 20 to 5 against tt. The
row man who were «o anxious to be
brouRbt Into Macon for political rea
r'd! thought up a different plan for
tlie next e'.eotlon. A secret meeting
was be'rf, about WWt<h Kite pronounced
opposition was kept as Ignorant a* pos-
alble, The reau'Jt of the vote at thla
secret meeting 'm-i* only one majority
against. Thla la ample evidence that
tide pcdplo «f Vlnovllle don't want to
get Into 'Macon. Why, whist do we
want to bocome a pint of Macon for?”
"How are you going to get sowers?”
naked the Te>grnph man.
"The county wIK build them for ua.
The chalognmg will do-the work.”
“But, how do you know the county
will consent to do that?"
••For Che reason that VlnoviEe pay*
more taxes than any Itwo dlatrtats In
Bthb oounty and haa loss road a to work
tlnm any other district In the county.
Wo (tin, therefore, show the commla-
alonera wherein It 1* but Juat that we
Khould have the work done by the
county. The cxccrs of taxes paid by
the Vlnovllle dlatrlot over other dis
tricts during the past warrant* the
t oilet that t1»' oomnilsslonerM will grant
the request, even If wo soy nothing
htoilt the 'tuxes for the future."
"Don’t you need pollen protection?
That, you know, ban been urged an a
good rear m why VH'.cvl lb- should bo
annexed?" the reporter suggested.
"Well. If we did we wouldn't get It.
Macon’s police protection la u plurpnr-
fcot farce and a source of unmeectwnry
expenses, so far tihe the residence oor-
tlons are concerned. Didn't the To’.o-
graph publish an article about two
yevrs ago showing that toutglury hid
been oomnxIOteil on Midisuu erect sim
ply toeoatns there were «> polk* in that
pert pt the city? If Madison street la
neglected, -where would VhlovMCe be?
Before the d'ut’h of ,1,-lhn Cl. Gresham,
one of llho best mo no fCila time, he told
me that he hold never but oneo aeon a
poVlcnmnn near bit bouse on College
street, -and that ’was nit 12 o’clock In
the day. No, iwe won't ask Macon to
ride ua 1n her putrid wagons. She Inns
already spread her fair tmm«'Mvrough-
out the contxtiry am having a big negro
as HUM eO’.e eustodtan of a residence
portion of the city, extending from
College street to the branch a.nd from
ttys oeimeWrtea to Mercer. This great
bulwark has now been deposed hi spite
of the- prospect for adding Vlnevlllo
to bis territory."
"What about the oVrtm rirat Vltie-
vine's imrwrty waDues drill be en
hanced?”
’•Now. I'll Just make tbit so plain
old July George could understand It.”
wns the quick reply. “aupoose the
ettv'a Itno were to be run through the
Kvmtre of my lot. and leave me a half
acre Inside of Mnooti «i.nd a half out-
aide. You come ulopg and want to buy.
I xell you that Oat No. 1 Is within the
limits. The tax-on It Is 1-4 or 1-2 per
oent. for ltd* elty and tihe state anil
oounty tax Is 1 1-4, making 2 1-2 or
1 >-4 per cent. In total. The o«her lot
la out of the city and la taxed only by
the state and county, wltldh amounts
to 1 1-4 per cent., or 1 1-6, as the else
mnv be. 1 offer you your ohoVcc for
*1,000. Which would you take? Oould
I afford to sell one for less than the
Other? Are they not both equally de-
■Jnatilr? If not, why not? Then, If I
preferred to get rid of one rather than
the other. Which one would It be? Cer
tainty I couldn’t afford to bold the elty
property, because the rate of taxation
on It would be too high, and I would
otter It at u lower prlct*. Then, coming
Into the cliy -will decrease 'the ViOue of
our qitcpenty. We couMn’t afford' to
own our magnificent homes If Macon’a
government were allowed n iwhack ot
ua. In live (Inst place. M we could stand
the rate we couldn't stand their method
of assessing raOucs. If a man In Ma
con gives In Ms prrmerty wt 11.000 the
asaaasora go around oral raise It to
*2.000. I know of aeverol tnxtances
where men Kuve In their property at
exactly the tlgurea for whtoh the same
protWHy was purohaaed. Although the
new owners male no Improvements the
assessors raised the valu.vton several
Hundred dollar*. It’s a system of rub
bery to mtolrth Vtoevlfc people are not
anxious to he subjected."
"But If all your tax money Is de
voted to Vtnevttk* tUTOrov(lmewta for
*en years, "wouldn’t that satisfy the
property ladders?"
"Not by any means. Why Should vra
be In a hurry to get In surth a muddle
os Macon nrter Ante beraelf? Wc don’t
care to have great gulUcs dug through
our thorraurtsfares and dirt hanked up
as high as a man's head all sfong the
streets, white the (retractors and elty
engines rare wrangling In ahe courts.
Ikvfidra, the rratdeocra of VlnevLV are
so scattered that wr couldn't afford to
pay tor the sewer connections. People
with small pieces of property and lo
cated right at the street who arc una
ble to have private adware mould glad
ly turn Mm nxKtrr over go the city, but
fortunstsly some other people have a
light to vote on the question.”
"Suppose the s.uatl- property bolder*
are tn the majority?" Mm nuwapaper
man waked.
"Well, vrs lira under » democratic
fora at government, and will respect
the voice of Mm majority, but your

FRYE’S RESOLUTION CAME UP.
The Hawaiian Minister Was Tb«r«, bnt
Failed to 8«i ill* Wrangle That

Not Aired In the House.
•Washington, Janl( 21.—The senate to
day entered promptly upon the discus
sion of 1610 Hama! Ian question, rite
minister from tihe young republic oc
cupying one of tihe front seats In the
diplomatic gallerlea anil being one of
the mast Interested listeners. The di
ousSKin was openej on a resolution
offered toy iMr. Lodge (Republican) of
M'issaobusa-.ts, approving the dispatch
of a Ship of war to the Islands last
Saturday amd expressing the opinion
that one should too kept there for the
present, favoring the construallon of a
sutarlnc telegraph cable from Sun
Francisco to Honolulu and declaring
"that steps should be taken to secure
possession of the Sandwich Islands by
their annexation no .the United States."
This rcsofutlon ivvus objected toon the
Democratic side the Chamber and
went over under the rule until tomor
row. But Chen the same resolution
which Mr. Frye (RopubMoao) of Maine
had offered on Saturday was taken up
and was the text for an Important, de
bate, which lasted till the dose of the
morning 'hour. When .the matter again
went over. In Shis debate the president
of .the United States and the course
purxued’by the admUnlstratlon in con
nection wlith the Hawaiian islands
found an advocate ana defender In
Mr. Gray, who assented that the atti
tude of 'the administration toad been In
exact ocoordunce Wloh the time-hon
ored precedents at the United States for
100 years, and that tihe president had
amid much clamor and detraction
maintained .the toonor unit tome of tlie
country. The opposite side of tihe
question was represented by Senators
Frye, Lodge and Hawley. Mr. Frye
made an effort to have a vote Itaken
on tots resoC'Utlon, tout objection was
made 'by 'Mr. Mills. The subject, how
ever, will come up again tomorrow.
The conference report jm .the urgency
deficiency bill was also debated ‘at
length, amd finally the senu.te voted fo
recede from its amendments on the
subject of the Income tax and to leave

on the contention that the present
building was not unsafe and intade-
quatc as to apace as oharged by the
eommttitee on public buildings and
grounds and tha* a new building could
not be completed within the time fixed
by the toKfi. Several amendments, ac
cepted 'by the commllllee on puhllo
