Amended.
The removal of the war revenue taxes
on July-1 will mean that Savannah will
be relieved of contributions to the gov
ernment lhat amount to more than 175,000
a year. The amount is large, but it is,
nevertheless, the aggregate of money
that is paid out for the stamps on checks,
promissory notes, express shipments,
money orders and telegraph messages and
other things.
Though the burden of the taxes has not
fallen heavily upon any on© person, it i
has affected all the citizens of Savannah
and has been a decided drain upon the
financial resources of the city. The with
drawal of many of the taxes at the end
of the fiscal year will be eagerly welcom
ed by all classes.
The war revenue act was passed June
IJ, 1898, and became operative on July 1.
It provided for tlie taxation of sixty-two
articles. The act was so amended by Con-
gress a few days ago a* to repeal the
tax upon many of the articles. Others
were reduced, while a considerable num
ber are to be retained. The following is
a statement of the articles upon which
taxes were imposed by the act and of the
eifect of the amendment upon each:

scription, various rates; mixed flour, 4
cents per barrel, retained; manufactur
ers of mixed Hour, sl2 per annum, re
tained; tea, custom duty of 10 cents per
pound, retained.
The withdrawal of the taxes will mean
relief, not only from the necessity of
paying heavily for the conduct of war
In the Philippines, but from great In
convenience. The banks, telegraph, tel
ephone, express and railroad companies,
and, In short, all who are affected by the
taxes now, will not have to open num
erous extra accounts because of stamps,
personal unpleasantness, too, will be
avoided by the withdrawal of the tax, as
many clerks who oome In contact with
the public and Its prejudice and pecultar-
TlTes will testify.
For those articles taxed by the act for
which stamp* can be secured In Savan
nah. In this city there has been expended
anually an average of $150,0(10 since the
passage of the law. By the removal of
the taxes from the articles shown In the
statement, the amount will be reduced to
about $70,000. When no war taxes are on,
the usual Internal revenue collections in
Savannah are about $40,000 a year.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1901.
FACTIONS J.INED UP.
(Continued from Tenth Page.)
the books will probably feel sore when
they learn of what has happened.
The ballot boxes have been taken out of
the Court House cellar and the voting
stands were Jn place during the afternoon.
Tables, chairs and writing material were
also placed In the offices that are to be
used as voting places, and everything will
be in readiness when the polls open this
morning.
The streets will be flooded with circu
lars this morning shouting the praises of
the various candidates. One of the most
interesting circulars that has come to
light thus far bears the caption, "We
Know That the Temptation is Great.” The
circular Is an appeal from someone for
Maj. Screven, and among other things,
says:
"Maj. Screven has tendered his services
for the protection of the citizens of Sa
vannah. on all occasions, and has always
been ready to follow the ttag of his coun
try. He has always proven to his friends
a good warrior. Nothing can be said about
him excepting that he Is always ready to
serve his friends, let the call be where
it may. If it is to the Legislature, he Is
ready; if it is to be an alderman of the
city of Savannah, he is ready; if it is to
be superintendent of the police force, he
is ready; and in other words a good citi
zen.
"He is ready—on all occasions where
his services are required to protect all
good citizens, and we are satisfied that
Maj. Screven is the gentleman for Or
>7lnary, and we hope on the day of the
15th instant, every voter will rally to the
polls with that precious ballot, signed
Thomas Screven for Ordinary, because a
good man meke3 a good government.”
Xnughtin May He Chief.
Many of those who are on the inside
hazard the prediction that if Maj. Screven
is elected Magistrate Michael Xaughtin
will be made superintendent of police.
Justice Naughtln is an avowed candidate
for the office, in the event that Maj.
Screven is successful, and he has a strong
following. Last May at a meeting of the
romip I Mr* cr rv*rr*r* r-9 _
tlon party Justice Naughtln was a can
didate against Mr. J. J. Horrigan for
sheriff of the City Court. A majority of
the committee favored Mr. Horrigan and
Justice Xaughtin suggested that the nom
ination bo made -unanimous. His attitude
on that occasion is still remembered by
the leaders in his party and there arc
many who believe that he will be super
intendent of police if Maj. Screven wins
to-day. Ex-Chief of Police Frank Mc-
Dermott has been mentioned as a prob
able candidate for the same office as has
W. T. Hussey. Both of these are strong
administration men and have many friends
who are among those in control at this
time. If to-day’s electfon turns as many
believe it will there w(YI be an intersting
and exciting race for superintendent of po
lice.
ELKS’ SOCIAL SESSION.
Their Lady Friend* Given an Even
ing of Fan.
The Elks gave a ladies’ social session
last night at their hall, at Broughton and
Whitaker streets, and as is the case with
all their social affairs, It was a most
pronounced success. ,
Besides the families of the members of
the lodge, there were a number of Invited
guests, among them being four gentle
men and four ladies of the “Phil and Net
tie Peters Comedy Company,” and, later
in the evening, after their performance
at the theater, a number of the Gorton
Minstrels.
All of the visitors, as well as the home
talent, took part In the programme, which
was of a most enjoyable character. There
was nothing classic about that programme
—it was a free-and-easy, go-as-your-please
programme. Intended to amuse, not In
struct; also, It filled the bill.
The first number was a vocal solo by
Mrs. Franz Hubner, with violin obligato
by Prof. Hubner. Then came Mr. C. D.
McCardle who sang the “New Kingdom,”
by Tours. Mr. W. W. Starr, who presided
with all the dignity and grace that he
usually displays on such occasions then
ordered "policeman” Sam Reynolds to ar
rest and bring to the platform Dr. Coch
ran and Mr. W. F. Blois. They were duly
carried before the tribunal and ordered
to sing the “Larboard Watch" or submit
to a fine for disobedience. They sang.
Dr. Cochran then sang a parody on
"Same Otd Story, Nothing New.” In which
well known members of the lodge were
made the butts of his wit. His song
scored a distinct success and he was
warmly applauded.
Then the programme was taken up by
the members of the Peters Company who
sang solos, medleys, and took part in
skits. The members of the Gorton Mins
trels then arrived and entertained the
gathering until Mr. Starr decided to show
them what he called the “real thing,”
which is the Elks' Band of Yamacraw
cake-walkers and singers, who were got
ten up In the most unique garment* and
with a most elaborate expenditure of
black and red grease paint. Refreshments,
belli solid and liquid, were served during
and greatly enjoyed by the
large audience that was present.

A FACTIONAL FIGHT.
Continued from Tenth Page.
In. When Mr. Saussv called on his au
dience to give the administration a stab
he asked that an administration that ini
met with the approval of at least two
thirds of the people be stabbed; an ad
ministration that even a man with a
barrel had not dared to oppose. He said
that the Iron fingers at the people’s
throat are on the hands of men who were
released several years ago, and who will
remain out for some time to come. When
the contest was made one of factions it
stamped the seal of defeat on the opposi
tion candidates. He said that with such
a bunch as spoke at the McAlpin meet
ing the enemy could only find aid and
comfort In their words. As usual it will
be an open ticket, he said, and he would
not fold it for $Kd.
Mr. F. McD. Oliver said that he had
been deputized by his partner. Judge
Twiggs, to sound the trumpet for Screven.
Keilbach ami Wells. Judge Twiggs Is ill.
but his heart is with the administration
followers and those of Screven and Wells.
He spoke of the ability of party candi
dates. nnd said that with a clerk like
Keilbach. who has the work of the ofHce
at his finger tips, .Maj. Screven would
make an ideal ordinary. He asked what
motive had induced Capt. McAlpin to turn
loose a barrel for a judgeship. If that is
all that he desires, the speaker said, he
was ready to sign a contract with every
other member of the bar to tip his hat to
Capt. McAlpin and call him judge. 'Mr.
Oliver advised his audience to vote the
straight ticket like their "matchless lead
er.” Osborne.
Col. A. R. Lawton said lhat he had been
taken completely by surprise. He was al
ways ready and glad to express his pref
erence of candidates when called on, he
said, but he took an entirely different
view of the situation. He did not stand
on the same platform with his friend Os
borne, and felt out of place. He was not
a party man, he said, and would vote a
straight ticket for the first time in his
life to-day. His reason for doing so is
that one party has happened to select
two men that are by far the best in the
Contest. He has known the candidates
for ordinary since they were in dresses
and thought that by odds Screven is the
better man for the office. He did not re
member when Mr. Wells ran about in
skirts, but he had known him a long time,
and felt that he Is qualified, in every way,
to fill the office he is seeking.
Mr. Shelby- My rick said that to follow
such a list of speakers was like eating
dry bread after desert. He indorsed
Screven and Wells, end spoke of the part
the "Disunited" club has played in the
campaign. He commented on the barrels
that had been tapped by the opposition,
but was confident that the success of the
candidates in whose interest he spoke
was assured. They are backed by ne
conservative class of citizens, which is
the backbone of the community. At the
conclusion of Mr. Myrick's speech the
meeting adjourned.
FLOWERS FOR THE PARK.
Park Bed* Will Be Ablaze With
Blossoms Next Ntonth.
The Park and the squares, which all
winter long have been almost bare of
flowers, will soon bloom again with all
the myriad tints that spring flowers, va
riegated colias and other brilliant-hued
plants can give.
Mr. Henry Wilby, who is In charge of
the floral department of the Park and
Tree Commission, is at work planting
flowers, and expects by April 10 to have
most of the spring plants set out, and
many of the summer plants. Already he
has set out fo#h large beds of pansies In
the Park. The plants are just beginning
to bud. but withih ttpirb weeks, unless some
unforeseen bad weather occurs, the beds
will be flaring patches of variegated col
or. Daisies, too, are being planted In
profusion, and. later, will follow between
1,500 and 2,000 astor plants of every Im
aginable hue. Then will come the non
flowering but still ornamental plants,
such as the hyblscus. stroblanthus and
kindred plants. The beds of Indian shoot,
which In the late summer make gorgeous
with mingled red and yellow the Park
corners, will be set out later in the sea
son.
Already In the park the plants have felt
the wooing breath of spring. The
branches of the red-bud trees are aglow
with their lilac blossoms, the peach and
plum trees are just bursting Into flower,
while the fluer de its give every indica
tion of opening within the next few days.
The japonlca bushes were never more pro
lific, while the Jonquil beds are already
showing as golden patches.
After the park has been supplied with
flowers the Bull street squares will re
ceive the attention of Mr. Wilby, and, last
of all, Colonial Park. Mr. Wilby has
recently built an annex to the green
house on Barnard street, where he keeps
his supplies of stock plants, and, through
the winter, harbors his other shrubs. The
annex Is 100x10 feet and contains over 5.000
stock plants. Mr. Wilby said yesterday
that his present stock of plants and flow
ers of all kinds was much larger than
It has ever been before, and that the park
and squares would be better provided this
season than ever before.
Though its floral beauty may be in
creased the Park is nevertheless losing
much of the natural beauty that has
characterized It since it was set apart for
its present purpose. So many of the pines
have been destroyed by cyclones, or died
from other causes that there are only
seven left standing.

AT THE THEATER.
Gorton's Minstrels played to a small au
dience last night, but the house was as
large as could be expected on the night
preceding a heated election and several
political meetings playing as counter at
tractions.
The show is not a pretentious one, and
there is no splendor of first part, but the
programme contains some things of worth.
Probably the vocal and instrumental
numbers were among the most enjoyable
features of the programme.
