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.

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.

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.

You'll see 8SI 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. Marked for Doath. "Three years ago I was marked for death. A graveyard cough was tear ing my lungs to pieces. Doctors fail ed to help me, and hope lmd fled, when my husband got Dr. King’s New Discovery," says Mrs. A. C. Williams, of Bac, Ky.

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." "Have you tried ClinohfieM.
