CROWD RUSHED
TO PAY TAXES
until late last night
CLERKS ll* COLLECTOR'S OFFICE
BUSY WITH FIUVRES.
Look Line of Tax Fa.ver* Formed In
Corridor Ont*lde Collector'* Of
fice— Money Received Will Proba
bly Aggregate SIOO,OOO, or May
Exceed That Sum—Will Be Fewer
Executions This Year Than Ever
Before, Say* Collector Thomson.
Yesterday was the last day on which
state and county taxes could be paid,
and there was a scramble among the
delinquents to get their money down
before the books closed.
When Tax Collector Thomas F.
Thomson appeared at his office in the
morning he found gathered there to
meet him all sorts and conditions of
men and women, with all sorts and
conditions of money in their pockets.
There were at least a half hundred
waiting, and when the collector opened
the door to the office there immedi
ately ensued a pushing and rushing for
position in line. Nature was reversed,
and instead of the time-honored ten
dency for every man to keep his
money in his pocket, there was a wild
desire to plank money down on the
table.
The clerks in the collector's office
opened the little wicker windows and
began reaching out for money, and it
came rapidly. There were silver dol
lars and paper money for the small
amounts and handsome checks for the
large amounts. Men paid anything,
rather than turn from the windows
without the little paper across the face
of which had .been stamped the magic
word “Paid.”
Jeuloii* of Position*.
Each minute brought more and
more people to the office and the line
stretched entirely across the hall,
and then doubled and stretched down
the side of the main corridor of the
Court House. The people stood close
together, so close that the convict
system of locked-steps was necessa
rily used whenever the long line mov
ed forward.
Men struggled to maintain their po
sitions in the line. The chance visitors
to the Court House and those whose
business carried them before any of
the courts found efforts to pierce the
line unavailing, until they had ex
plained they were not attempting to
obtain a more advanced position, but
simply wished to pass down the cor
ridor.
Later in the morning announcement,
was made that the office would close
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and this
rule was adhered to strictly. The
door to the office was locked and the
force of clerks went quickly to work
footing up accounts.
At 6 o’clock their work was not
nearly completed, and after a short
adjournment for supper, they return
ed and resumed their duties. At 11
o’clock they were still puzzling over
the figures and finally the office
closed with the great volume of bus
iness not yet entirely footed up.
Will Be FeW Execution*.
When Tax Collector Thomson left
the office last night he was unable to
state just how much money had been
t'aken in, but it is probable it will run
pretty close to SIOO,OOO, or may even
exceed that sum. The varying sizes
of the amounts taken in made it im
possible to make an estimate that
would be reasonably accurate, and
only guess work placed the figures at
the sum given above.
Tax Collector Thomson said, when
asked about the faxes late last night:
“It is impossible to make anything
like an accurate estimate, but it seems
certain that we will exceed other years
in the percentage of taxes colleoted.
I am certain there will be fewer execu
tions necessary this year than ever
before, and X am well satisfied with the
showing made. The last twb days
have been heavy ones and have brought
the total up wonderfully. It will prob
ably be a week or more before accu
rate figures Can be obtained and the
exact amount collected announced.”
Under the laws of the state'the books
had to be closed yesterday, and as a
result no extension of time could be
allowed.
THE CATHEDRAL CHOIR
GIVEN ANNUAL DINNER.
Last Dinner In Which Ladle* Fig
ured a* Choir Member*.
The annual dinner to the choir of
the Cathedral of St. John the Bap
tist was tendered last night at the
residence of Rt. Rev. Bishop Keiley.
The dinner was a most enjoyable one,
and the hospitality of the host made
the occasion one that will be long re
membered.
The dining room had been prettily
decorated with Christmas greenery and
cut flowers, appropriately placed, add
ed the brighter colorings to the scene.
While the menu was being served
humorous anecdotes, wit and repartee
made the hours speed rapidly. When
full justice had been done the menu,
impromptu toasts were responded to
and short addresses made.
The dinner w*as particularly of note
because of the fact it was the last at
which the ladies will appear as mem
bers of the choir, all the Cathedral
music hereafter being rendered by male
choirs.

of the choir and their friends, were: Rt.
Rev. Bishop Kelley. Rev. Father Ken

In the offices of Drs. Lattimore &
White. His subject was “Problems in
Gynecology Twenty Tears Ago and To
day.”
The tone of the paper was conserva

note a plea for the preservative in
gynecological surgery. The treatise
was an excellent one. and in the dis
cussion following every doctor present

tions.

for more than a quarter of n century, with an ever-in
creasing Circle of cured patients and friends. Among
these he numbers hundreds of women, many of them
well known throughout the state, and they in turn have
recommended others to him. Dr. Hathaway Is a special
-Ist In female disease*, and is in possession of methods
whereby these diseases can be overcome without In the

LAST INSTRUCTIONS
OF MISSION SERVICE.
Celebration of Communion Will
Close Mission This Morning.
With the celebration of holy com
munion at 6:45 o’clock this morning,
the mission services that have been
in progress at St. Paul's Episcopal
Church for the last ten days will
close.
Rev. Father Huntington is especial
ly desirous that all members of the
parish, and all who have attended
the mission services, be present at
this last service. This request was
emphasized at the meeting last night.
At the last children's service yes
terday afternoon many of the older
people were present to see what had
been accomplished with the little ones.
The quick answers to the questions
propounded showed that the instruc
tions had given the children a good
understanding of the basic principles
of the faith of the church and of the
doctrines taught by the church.
The last sermon and instructions,
conducted by Rev. Fathers Huntington
and Hughson, were held at the usual
hour last night. There was a large
attendance and the greatest interest
was shown in the work. The sermons
and instructions both supplied a fit
ting close to the series, a review of
the great principles laid down, and an
earnest, forceful plea for their adop
tion by all into their daily lives.
After the early service this morning
Rev. Father Huntington will leave for
Sewanee. Rev. Father Hughson will
return to the home of the Order of
the Holy Cross at West Park, N. Y.
HAT COMPANY’WILL MOVE
INTO LARGER QUARTERS.
The Southern Hat Company has pur
chased the buildings, Nos. 121 and 123
Congress street, west, from Lattimore
& Bond. The company is at present
occupying the building across the
street, but owing to its increase In
business since incorporation on Oct. 1
it has been found advisable to move
to larger quarters.
The rapid growth of the company
speaks well for the growing importance
of Savannah as a jobbing point, for
although it has been in business only
three months, it has traveling men in
Georgia, Florida, South Carol.na, North
Carolina and Alabama. The company
will occupy its new building about Jan.
1, but before moving into it, it will
be thoroughly repaired, and put in
modern shape, lighted by electricity
and steam heated.
The lower floor of the building will
be used as offices and sample rooms,
and it is the intention of Mr. J. J.
Lewis, the president, to make his sam
ple rooms as well appointed and com
modious as those of the large Eastern
manufacturers. The company has been
handicapped for want of space, but as
the new building will be considerably
larger than the old one. the concern
will add a line of trunks, valises and
umbrellas to its line of merchandise.
Mr. Lewis intends to make it the larg
est house of its kind south of Balti
more, he says.
At the close of the meeting last
night, a motion to make Dr. Chambers
an honorary member of the Chatham
County Medical Society was passed,
and he accepted the compliment In ‘a
graceful speech. He thanked the mem
bers for the reception tendered him
while in the city. A lumdi was served
at the conclusion of theTneetlng. In
Introducing Dr. Chambers to the mem
bers of the society. Dr. G. R. White
paid him a high compliment, setting
forth his achievements in the profes
sion.
Dr. Chambers is from Alabama, where
his family is quite prominent. He went
to New York thirty years ago under
the tutelage of Drs. Marlon Sims and
T. G. Thomas. These members of the
medical profession were perhaps the
most celebrated surgeons In America
at that time. Dr. Sims was a native
of Alabanfa, while Dr. Thomas came
from South Carolina. They were as
sociated in building the Woman’s Hos
pital, and by their labors made the
Institution one of the most celebrated
In the world.
Dr. Chambers was an intimate •as
sociate and careful student In the
work of his two preceptors, profiting
In skill and knowledge. Now that his
Instructors have passed from the
stage of activity he is regarded as
the logical successor to their honors
and labors. The institution has out
grown its old quarters and has moved
up town, near the Episcopal Cathedral
into a million dollar home. Dr. Cham
bers is the surgeon in this splendidly
equipped retreat.
A brother of Dr. Chambers was a
member of the Cleveland administra
tion Samoan commission, and is at
present serving on the commission ap
pointed to adjust claims growing out
of the Spanish-Amerlean War. While
in the city Dr. Chambers is the guest
of Drs. Ralston Lattimore and George
R. White.

WITH THE SECRET ORDERS.
Two lodges have applied to Grand
Secretary Tyson of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, for dispensation
for an Initiation to be held under the
“ten club rule.'' This rule is so ar
ranged that when a club of ten or more
enter a lodge, ‘the initiation fee Is con
siderably reduced. Dalton Lodge No.
72, of Dalton, will initiate fourteen and
Greensboro Lodge No. 165 will take In
ten, If the dispensation is granted by
the Grand Master.
At a recent meeting of Deborah
Lodge No. 10, Daughters of Rebekah,
it was decided to give a ball the early
part of February. The Daughters are
already hard at work and have ap
pointed a committee of eleven to look
after the details. Mrs. B. Gasque was
appointed chairman of the committee.
This lodge Is only a year old, but Is
fast becoming one of the strongest or
ganizations of its kind, and the mem
bers have not held a meeting without
Initiating from one to five candidates.
The. drill team is constantly practicing
and entertains great hope of capturing
the prize when the Grand Lodge con
venes here in May.
Col. W. L. Grayson will be Instru

MOON PASSED BETWEEN
EARTH AND ALDEBARAN
Occultation of Scientific Importance Last
Night.
An astronomical occultatlon took
place last night when the moon passed
between the earth and the star Alde
baran. The star disappeared from sight
at 8:14 o'clock, and did not become
gradually Invisible as was expected,
but snapped out of sight In an Instant,
when apparently some distance from
the moon.
While the star Is very large. It la so
far distant from the earth that there is
no perceptible disk around it. If there
were. It would gradually disappear and
not move from sight instantaneously.
The fact that It went out of sight
while apparently soma distance from
the moon, was cauaed by the moon not
being entirely full. The dark portion
not lighted by the sun passed over the
star first, hiding It from sight before It
reached the light portion of the moon,
which appeared to be th rim.
The star remained behind the moon

the summons and rushed at the offi

It is of a brilliant red: In fact, one
of the reddest stars in the heavens,
and forms the eye of the bull of an
cient mythology. This bright, red star
has a small companion which re
volves around It, but cannot be seen
except through a large telescope. It Is
a fixed star and of the first magnitude.
There are some stars larger, but they
are few in number. It often lies In
the path of the moon and hence is fre
quently oecultated by it. The redness
Is probably due to the fact that it is
not as hot as those of a white color.
There are several practical uses
which are applied to the occultatlon
and one Is. for a mariner to determine
his exact location at sea by the time
It disappears. This Is not often prac
• iced hy the seamen of th# prearnt
day, however, us there are many more
simple means by which he can deter
mine his location. Th# scientific us* Is
to determine the exact position of the
