many persons looking to dispensaries
to supply a part of the state's revenue.
The dlspen*arles now pay $200 a year
tax, the same as bar rooms. The su
preme court holds that the stocks of
goods and buildings owned and used by
dispensaries are public property anil
not taxable. The house amended the
tax act *o as to make the dlspen:
property liable to ad valorem tax. The
ten per cent, tax proposed by Mr. Mo*
Scs would have made three tuxes im
posed by the state.
Another featuro of the day’s work
xvas the adoption of an amendment
placing a tax of $50 on dealers In med-
lclnes that will .produce Intoxication.
This Is nln.cd at Peruna.
There was a spirited little fight In
the house for tho establishment of a
dispensary at Arlington. The bill was
! defeated.
Tho senate by 20 to 16 passed a res-
'tolutlon asking the governor to pardon
Mamie Decris.
Part of the time of the senate was
devoted to a discussion of the depart
ment of Immigration bill. The debate
fjHrill be resumed tomorrow.
Debate on Tax Bill.
The first debate on tho tax net was
■ caused by an amendment offered by
Mr. Richardson of Houston, putting a
tax of $50 on dealers In domestic wines
who maintain a public place of busi
ness.
Mr. Wilson opposed the amendment
find Mr. Kelley spoke In It* fav
Mr. Mitcham of Clayton said three
thousand gallon* of wine was made In
bis county every year and It
great deal of drunkenness.
Mr. Gross offered an amendment to
Include medicines that produce Intojc
lcation.
“In McDuffie county,” said Mr. Gross,
•'beerlne 1* sold and men got beastly
drunk on Peruna.”
Mr. 1 *.-i11i**I snld thnt In Mtnanwd
County more harm was done by tho
pale of Peruna than would be done by
open bar rooms.
Mr. Tlgner opposed the amendment
paying nleohol was necessary to pre
serve certain medicines and the
pmendment would work a hardship.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. Adams offered on amendment j
taxing the stocks and buildings of dis
pensaries.
Mr. Hull called attention to the de
cision of the supreme rourt that this
could not be done. He did not favor
taxing dispensaries. Tho only way they
could be taxed was on their net or
gross receipts nnd he did not favor the
State going Into the bar room business.
Mr. Grice favored putting dispensa
ries on the same plane with bar rooms.
Mr. McHenry spoke of the Rome dis
pensary and snld Rome was willing to
pay the nd valorem tax. He opposed
the suggestion of taking a percentage
of the net or gross receipts.
Mr. Held said the supreme court had
held that the legislature had not put
an ad valorem tax on dispensary prop
erty but it could do so.
The amendment of Mr. Adams of
Putnam was adopted.
Mr. Moses offered an amendment
taxing dispensaries 10 per cent, of the
net profits.
Mr. Moses spoke In support of his
amendment, saying Rome and Floyd
county made $37,000 profit nnd nil the
state got was $200. Other counties
paid more to the state nnd that
amounted to robbery of the school
fund. Mr. Moses said he thanked God
Newnan had not gone Into the dlspen
aary business. He called the dlspensa
rles “hot beds of hell.”
Mr. Shackelford of Clarke said Mr.
Moses was inconsistent in asking for a
part of the profit of the “hot beds of
hell."
Mr. Hall asked If Mr. Shackelford
did not think the sale of liquor in Ath
ena ought to be atopped entirely. Mr.
Bhackelford said “No.”
”We send our boys there,” said Mr.
HslL
"Any man who will come to Athenr
said Mr. Bhackelford. “will admit th
we have solved the whiskY problem."
"Do you think liquor ought to be
at Athens at *11?" asked Mr. Hall
"Do you think It ought to bo . M m
Macon?" was the reply.
"Yes." sa'd Mr. Hall.
"Yes." said Mr. Bhackelford, “that Is
the point.”
Mr. Bhackelford snld he was oppose
to making any profit. He wanted rut-
liquors sold at a price very near cost
"Isn't It a fact that the A the
pe rotary I* noted for selling popskull
llouor?" asked Mr. Preston of Jackson.
"Not that I know of,” said Mr.
, 6hackelford.
Mr. Hall offered an amendment strik
ing out ths special taxes.
Mr. Bower said he regarded Mr.
Moses’ amendment aa a blow at pro
hi bit Ion and local option, and ho op
the purposes of the bill. This being so,
he said he would make a motion to dis
place the special order nnd get the
friends of the bill togethoi *i *1 •••• if i
bill could not he framed that would be
satisfactory to all of the friends of the
measure. Borne of them, he said, fa
vored the bill as It was drawn^ while
others wanted to substitute a state
commission. His motion to discon
tinue the further consideration of the
bill was adopted.
The bill of Mr. Johnson of Clinch
passed by the house at Its last session,
prohibiting any one from carrying a
pistol, rifle or gmi, within the state
without taking out a license to carry
the same and giving bond, came up
with a favorable report of the commu
te
callty.
Mr. Steed of Coweta said the bill
had been before the committee, both
sides had been heard and it had been
shown that the county had gone dry.
Mr. Buchanan said Mr. Steed mis
represented what had been brought out
before t^e rotnmlttee.
Mr. Steed turned fiercely upon him
and said:

In reply Judge Pnrker said:
"Senator Llnson and gentlemen or

Friendship Is nol n plant of rapid

We sorrowed together when dear

great good came to the life or lives of
some of our friends.
“During those years we formed re

Aa nn Illustration of It we find thnt

to Ht. Louis through the heat to say
something kindly of one of their

so many years, and I kne\v very well
that they have not told the whole truth
at St. Louis. There Is something about
these friends whom l have known so
well thnt In talking to the several
delegations there they failed to recol

ST. PETERSBURG. July 16. (2:15
a. m.)*—The people of St. Petersburg
retired last night in a happy frame of
mind. The absence of a dispatch from
Lluet. Gen. Stoessel, commander of
the military forces at Port Arthur, re
garding the reported disaster to the
Japanese last Sundny night Is gen
erally attributed to the delay in com
municating official news, owing to the
absence of the emperor.
Private dispatches received in St.
Petersburg from Russlun sources in
the For East confirm the reports from
Mukden nnd Che Foo. According to
a usually reliable source, the Jnpai
losses wore 2,800 und tho Russian
losses 1,800.
The city remains in a ferment of
exeltement und extrns ore eagerly
iought up In the hope of finding the
long expected dispatch from Gen.
Stoessel. It wan only late tonight thnt
llspatch arrived which, had It ho
ne generally known, would have
tended somewhat to dampen the en
thusiasm. This was a dispatch from
rn Tche Klao, communicating nn un-
Inted dispatch from Port Arthur re
ceived there July 13. It did not men
tion the assault or the repulse, but
It Is quite possible that the dispatch
ns sent from Port Arthur earlier
an July 10 so thnt It cannot be fairly
garded ns contradictory evidence.
It is quite certain up to this date
that there Is no disposition In any
luhrter In St. Petersburg to question
the truth of the news. There Is n
general conviction thnt If Viceroy
Alexleff decided to commullcnto the
port to tho general stuff It must be
