It Is expected that .tho llrst of January will witness a decrease In the number of licensed near-beer saloons In Macon. For tlio reason tiiut taxes aggregating $400 will probably be exacted of each dealer, it Is believed Hint u number of tho smaller places will retire from busi ness. The persons operating them now say that, with nil other expenses, n small near-beer saloon cannot make any money if $400 must i>e paid out for li censes. Thu tnt of $200 for the state will ho only recently collected the tux for tho present‘year,- the money having been held up by injunction, • Tlio likelihood ! of fflfi Impofc'tlpn of A lax of $200 by tlio city eoilliell Is tho chief hmtter .of..concern tq^tlie dealers now. it Is expected thnt tlio license will Ihi fixed nt this figure by council tonight, and If such is done tlio near-beer deal ers will thou have to pay out $400 in licenses. It Is hardly probablo that the drug stores of tho oily will continue tho sale of near-beer after tlx#* first. Those now operating soda water fountains have li censes to sell near-beer, but there Is such u small demand far tlio beverage at their places that tlio proprietors are loath to piy four hundred dollars for the privllegs of keeping it on tap.
