CLUB LICENSES ,
STILL A PROBLEM
FOR THE COUNCIL
DEPARTMENT STORE
GETS NEW QUARTERS
Special to Tile Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Dec. 29.—The Burden-
8m!th Compuny have Just signed ,\
ten-year lease for the building on Third
street, between Mulberry and Cherry,
now occupied by John W. Hhlnholser.
The ffrm will take possession In a few
days nnd will flt up one of the hand
somest department stores in the^entlre
South. Mr. Hhlnholser will probably
cell out his buggy, wagon nnd enrriage
business and will move his automobile
business to the new garage which ho
recently built on Third street.
This announcement will be received
with great interest In Macon and also
throughout the entire state. HI nee
the disastrous tire several weeks ago ii
has been a puzzle to the Burden-Smith
Company where to locate. The firm
has been occupying the upper stories
of the building for several weeks with
the salvage of the fire, and since then
a deal has been made for the building
for a period of ten years.
The building Is one of the hnndsom-
One of the first Important matters to
come before the new council will be*
the proposition to regulate and license
all club rooms.
This matter has been up before the
present council In several forms for
many months, but nothing definite has
been done. The tax committee did
recommend that clubs selling spirit
uous liquors be required to pay a li
cense of 9300 a year, but If It ever got
any further, no one seems to know* it.
It Is highly probable that License
Inspector Ewing will recoirtmend to
council. In Ids annual report, that all
clubs that deal In whisky or beer In
any form be forced to petition council
for the privilege to exist, and that a
license be required of all such clubs.
He Is of the opinion that this license
should be at least 9250, but probably
will not recommend any fixed sum.
“The county, the state and the gov
ernment,** he says, "can collect licenses
from these clubs, and I see no reason
why the city should not do likewise.
“There are a number of objectionable
clubs In the city. If they had to get
permission from council and had lo-pny
a license, these could be done away
with, or at least could be regulated.
“These dubs can afford to pay the
license, too. I know' of one that made
97.000 last year."

Of immediate and vital Interest
every lumberman In the United States
the first complete report of the
United States forest service of Wash
Ington of the cut of lumber in America
during 1905. This report has just been
completed and is published for the first
time In the Silver Anniversary edition
of The Southern Lumberman. J *Tho
statistics were gathered direct from the
manufacture!* of lumber In all parts
of the country and embraced the re
ports of 11,000 mills. This report will
contain many surprising tabulations
and comparisons for the lumber, manu
facturers themselves, and will be a ba
sis for guiding the making of lumber
next year.
The Silver Anniversary of The
Southern Lumberman, which Is pub
lished nt Nashville, Tenn., was also
made thn vehicle for the presentation
of the claims and values of every com
mercial wood of the South as they .have
never before been presented In any pa
per. book or periodical. Every wood
growing south of the Ohjiv npd Poto
mac that Van be made Into lumber Is
written upon from both the technical
and commercial sides. There are maps
showing the geographical distribution
or the tree growth With explanations
of the»distribution of the lumber prod
uct, hundreds of illustrations showing
the characteristics of the Individual
trees, growth In groups and the effect
of climatic conditions. Here the ac
cumulated u’orlc done by forest service
during the past ten years 1s fully pre
sented. and some of the articles were
written by It. 8. Kellogg. H. H. Hale.
Treadwell Uleveland, Jr., and Thomas
Elmer Hill, of (he forest department
of the government..
The paper also contains illustrated
articles showing why thri prices of
lumber are what they are today, and
demonstrates that the diminishing sup
ply of timber makes still a higher price
Inevitable for the future.

Savannah, Ga., Dec. 29.—Savannah
Is In the throe* of a hot political cam
paign. Fortunately for the public It
was started late, and it was not until
ten days before election that formidable
opposition developed. But the fight
from now until January 8 promises to
be very hot Indeed.
On that date a mayor and board of
aldermen will be chosen, and they. In
turn, will choose the other city officials.
The Citizens' Club Is still In power and
will muke a desperate light to prevent
the People's Democratic League from
wresting the city governmental affairs
from them.
Last nlgln there were two rallies of
the contending factions. At one of
these Colonel William Garrard, the
present city attorney, formnlly accept
ed the nomination of the Collins. My
ers-Osborne faction for mayor. At the
other George W. Tledcman, nominee of
the Democratic League, made an ad
dress. Both were hugely attended and
some hot shots were fired.
The Garrard followers are somewhat
disappointed In the announcement tliAt
General P. W. Meldtim, Colonel Gar-
rnrd’s law partner, would not take a
personal part in the campaign. It had
been announced that General Meldrlm
would speuk nt the Garrard rally, butu
letter of Indorsement was read from
him, In which he strongly urged his
election, but stated lhut he would take
no active part in the campaign. A
recent bereavement In General Mel
drlm’* family Is the cause for this de
termination.

Puzzle Editor The Georgian:
I have solved the “egg problem” In
this afternoon's Georgian. For the 24
cents left by Mr. Jones, the grocer
should have sent Mrs. Jones 16 eggs.
This would make the eggs cost 18 cents
a dozen. But If eggs had been selling
at 2 cents per dozen less than they
now are. then he should have sent Mrs.
Jones 18 eggs, as the price would then
be 16 cents per dozen. Yours truly.
