sion was successful ifrom the stand

Is considerably more than at this

popular courses tills year are those
of science, law and agriculture.
There, is an exigency for new dor
mitories, and' an enlargement of the
Denmark dining hall. Old College,
the dormitory which was condemned
a few years ago, received from the
state legislature this summer $lO,
000 for repairs. The contract has
been let to Captain J. W. Harnett,
city engineer of Athens, and worn
will commence as soon as plans can
be drawn up. The handsome new
agriculture building is nearing com
pletion and will be ready for occu
pancy In a short time.
The two literary societies, Dcmas

10 PAY UNDER
PROTEST
State Tax of Two Hundred
Dollars to be Paid With
Understanding That it
Will he Refunded if Law
Does Not Stand.
j According to a statement from Mr.
J- C. C. Black, solicitor of the city
court, it is quite probable that some
forty or fifty near-beer dealers will
pay over S2OO each for license Mon
day. The tax has been due since Sep
i tember 5, but on account of the test
case now pending no enforcement of
the law has been made here.
Mr. C. E. Dunbar represents the
majority of near-beer dealers here,
but Friday afternoon Mr. W. J. Croake
applied for the first license and paid
S2OO over to Ordinary Waiton. The
total near-beer tax in Richmond coun
ty will hardly reach SIO,OOO, accord
ing to the best estimates obtainable.
This will enable yll dealers to con
tinue operation throughout the re
nuiinder of the year and next season
council will probably add a similar tax
to the business.
Solicitor Black and Ordinary Wal
ton are getting a iine-up on the situa-
I tion and are pretty well prepared to
I handle Ihe collection of the taxes. It
|is understood that the tax will be
I paid under protest and if the final re
sult of Ihe case now pending sustains
the tax the payment will hold, but in
the event it does not stand the amount
will be refunded.
