MR8. WALTER LAMAR ISSUES CIR
CULAR LETTER TO THE GEOR
GIA DIVISION ANENT THE
8AVANNAH LETTER.
Following the letter dated December
16, signed by Mrs. Harrison and others,
asking that the action of the Savannah
convention bo sustained, Mr*. W. D. I*a*
mar, second vice president of the Geor
gia division, and chairman of the Wire
monument Inscription committee, Issue*
tho following;
Macon. On., Dee. 17. 1908.
To the Qeovgla Division, U. n. o.:
When shown Nov. 14 tho petition about
to be circulated and now before tho U.
D. C. chapters of the atnte asking for a
reconsideration of tho Wlrx monument
location, Mr. Taylor, representative nt
tha Atlanta convention of the Richmond
veterans, said: "I thoroughly understand
your position In this matter, ladles, but
nsk that you defer action until after wo
have offered a site, because we do not
wish to appear to disapprove of the ob
jects for which this shaft has been con
structed, and aro ready to do whatever
the Georgia IT. D. C. wishes us to do in
tho matter."
In deference to this request, wo watt*

was offered her.
If, prior to the Savannah convention,
Richmond had teen any reason for plac
ing a Georgia monument In another state
And had offered a site In that city, then—
the Georgia division might have gladly
settled Its differences by unanimously
presenting the Win monument to the
Confederate capital. When the cry "A
Richmond tn the field" Is heard, one
looks to see a knight full panoplied, eager
for the fray, who springs Invincible to
the combat—Instead of that blindfold,

THE BADGE TO BE A CERTIFICATE
OF THE DOG HAVING BEEN
VACCINATED.
A suggestion that may have some
gum in it Is now made to the mayor
and council, that In making up the
license and tax ordinance for the new
year In reference to the tax on dogs,
u new und novel tax b«* imposed.
The present tax per dog la one dol
lar. and this Includes the badge, ard
this badge Is worth some few cents,
which really makes the tax less than
one dollar. The most vicious dog In
the city in thus allowed to roam the
streets of the city for that amount.
The lives of the people are at stake,
and at the mercy of any dog that may
go mad.
As a matter of expense to the city.
It should be remembered that the city
pays the dog-catcher fifteen cents for
every dog he kills. As he kills sev
eral hundred in the course of a' year
this Item alone Is considerable. Tho
report of the chief sanitary Inspector
reports 917 dead dogs removed to the
crematory last year.
Here's where the suggestion comes
In. Instead of the present Issuing of
badges to show that tho tax has been
paid, every dog should be required to
be vaccinated. It has been discovered
that to vaccinate a dog will prevent
him from going mad, or, if he goes
mad. It will he a mild case of the
rabies.
To carry, out this suggestion, it
would bo necessary to pass an ordi
nance making the vasclnatlon compul
sory as to dogs, for which one or two
dollars will bfe paid By tho owner,and
the badge will beetle certificate of vac
cination. Every dog running at large
without this badge to certify that It
has been duly vaccinated will bo shot.
The man who makes this suggestion
Is modest, but he wants# the city au
thorities to consider It, and he believes
that the more the suggestion Is studied
the morp It will strike the authorities
as being the safest and sanest end
most humane method of nettling the
dog proposition. He says that if they
will consider that the present badge
signifies nothing more than that the
owner of tho dog has paid one dollar
for it; that there were hundreds of
people bitten during the past year by
mad dotfs, and that they were put to
considerable expense In going to tho
Pasteur Institute, and it will be the
same old thing tho coming year, then
he thinks they will realize that tho
only way In which lives may be saved
as welb as dollars is to try the vacci
nation plan.
At any rate, ho wants tho suggestion
looked upon as a serious one, and not
as a Joke as It may bo treated by some.

Tho orchestra and glee club of
tho Tech school will give an enter
tainment In ilils city on Tuesday even
ing, the twenty-second. ThU announce
ment will at onco arouse Interest in
musical and social circles. Tech has
many friends In Macon and many
alumni who will be glad to see and
hear what the Glee Club can do. This
school has an enviable record for high
achievement In educational and athle
tic fields; the musical field is a new
one, but tho same high standard will
JotthUtu be maintained here as else
where. *
This la the first year the Tech club
has made a tour. Last year tho suc
cess of the performance in Atlanta
was so great as to insure a perman
ent musical organisation at thp Tech.
The Initial performance on tho 19th
was (or, promises to be) moro suc
cessful still, and the club starts on Its
tour .with every assurance of success.
Entertainments will bo given in Ma

able that a longer trip will be taken

1 lam Arnand, organist nnd choir aired*'
tor of All Saints’ Church, and under

ing. There will be selections of the
orchestra and by the banjo and man
dolin club; solos both vocal and instru
mental. and chorus work In which
forty members of the club take part.
Several novel features will be Intro
duced, and the entertainment promises
to be anything but one of the stereo
typed variety. The boys put them
selves Into the music, and the enter
tainment goes oft with the dash and
enthusiasm of a spirited athletic con
test.
For the past week friends and
alumni of Tech have been busy making

dally anxious that an enthusiastic we]
corns be accorded the boys on thetr
ftrat appearance here* Parties arc be
ing formed to attend tho entertain

BE CAREFUL TO WRAP
XMAS GIFTS SECURELY
THEY HAD READ OF THE DISTRI-
BUTION OF MEAL TICKET8
AND WANTED THEM.
Yesterday was the day designated
by the county commissioners on which
to distribute the usual tickets to the
paupers of the county.
The regular day falls on Christmas
day. but in order that the unfortunates
might have something in advance, it
was decided to issue tho tickets yes
terday, one week ahead of time. In
addition to this, it was decided to Is
sue two instead of one ticket to those
entitled to them.
But in some way all the poor of the
city thought the distribution of the
charity would be general, and they as
sembled at the court house In droves
yesterday. There are Just one hun
dred names on the county's list of
paupers, but yesterday the number of
applicants for the tickets went into
the hundreds. *
Clerk Bowdre, one of the most char
itable of men. was In a stew. It was
his suggestion (hat two tickets be
given In place of one. and he was
so anxious that the poor creatures
should be provided, that he had the
announcement made that the bene
ficiaries should come yesterday. But
bo did not bargain for the coming of
all the unfortunate creatures in Macon
who are too proud to go to Roff Home,
or for other reasons prefer to keep
away from the commissioners by whom
they could be provided for, and they
flocked to the court house in crowds.
There was nothing to do but to ex
plain that-he had authority to Issue
tickets only to those whose names
were on the regular pauper list, and
turn them away.
"It certainly showed how widely read
The Telegraph Is," said Mr. Bowdle
yesterday, "and what a success It Is
as an advertising medium."

quire 1 cent for every four ounces, or

5. Any writing In theao packages
subjects them to first class posldg*,
and renders the party liable to a fine.
