George, one of the. best-known officers of the United States army In Atlanta, and for a long time recruiting officer In this city, has been retired from service with ths rank of major. The retirement was effective October 20 last, and the orders have Just been published. The retirement came oftor an exam ination for promotion by a board of of fleers. The decision ot the board was to tho effect that Captain George was found to be physically disabled for the duties of major of Infantry by reason ot disabilities Incident to his service. Captain George was retired upon the eve of his promotion to a majorshlp by seniority had he been found quali fied. He has been In bad health for some time past, and will proceed to his home upon being relieved from further treatment at the Army and Navy Gen eral Hospital at Hot Springs, Ark.

A. hall depends whether or not Atlanta will have a prohibition election, and when. Two distinctive features will hare great bearing on the action of the League. One will be the announcement of the result of the Investigation made by Dr. J. E. White, pastor of the Sec ond Baptist church, who has the opin ions of 250 leading church members. The other will be the result of the pe tition circulated .by the Antl-Ssloon League for the purpose of getting ex pressions from the people. 'It Is safe to predict” that the meet ing will be a lively one. The Anti- Saloon League will call for a prohi bition election. The only question Is, will it be now or next spring? under tho direction of Francis J. Hen ry. Ball was fixed at $10,000. The Indictment Is Jointly returned upon five counts. All of them concern the cases of the so-called French res taurants, the charge being practically that the restaurant keepers paid largo sums to Rueff to Induce him to force the administration to grant them 11 censes, which would otherwise be de nled them on the ground that the places were Immoral.

Because wholesale liquor dealers throughout the country hare made It a practice to clip revenue stamps off original packages received from the distillers or rectifiers and substituting therefor stamps Issued under their own name, the commissioner of revenue has notified revenue officials throughout the country that on and after January 1, 1907, they will decline to Issue a whole sale liquor dealers’ stamp for use on any package not filled on the premises of the wholesaler. An abnormal Increase In the number of wholesale revenue stamp* sold caused an Investigation on the part of United States Revenue Commissioner John W. Yerkes. "it* was discovered that the stamps of the rectifiers and distillers were clipped from the pack ages * by the dealer* who exchanged them at the offices of revenue collectors for original stamps authorizing the sale of the whisky under the name of the wholesale dealer. Instructions have been received by Internal Revenue Col lector Rucker. To avoid future abuse revenue col lector* will not Issue wholesalers’ stamps for any packages not filled on the premises of the wholesale dealer or for use on any unbroken packages bearing the marks, stamps and brands required by law. This new departure Is of a great deal Importance to whole sale whisky dealers, who will be forced In future to refill packages In order to be able, to use their original stamp*. MOUNT yERNON.

Industrious and law-abiding, polite and deferential to his white friends and possessed of a good fund of common sense, he was well liked by people whose friendship Is worth while.

Since the war Bentley has been Democrat and although for a time he lost the friendship of His own race for allying himself with the white people, the confidence of the negroes was soon regained. For year* he was captain of the Georgia Cadets, a negro military company, nnd served with courage dur ing the Garfield riots.
