NO RIGHT TO TAX
BUSINESS MEN
Exprees Company Should Pay
for the Stamps It
Uses.
STRONG LEGAL OPINIONS.
Test Case Will be Made of the Rule
Laid Down by the Com
pany,
Savannah, July B.—A test case will be
made here at onee to determine the right
of the Southern Express Companj- to com
pel shipers to pay the war tax of 1 cent
imposed on every bill of lading issude by
it.
Some member of the board of trade will
send a pack .ge to the office of the com
pany here for transportation and will re
fuse to affix the 1 cent stamp or pay that
amount extra to the company. If the
agent of the express company declines to
forward the package, action will then be
begun against it as a common carrier for
violation of its duties under its charter,
or a direct appeal will ffrst be made to the
commissioner of internal revenue for a rul
ing, it to be followed by an action in the
courts if the company persists in holding
the public liable for the tax.
Several well known lawyers here are un
derstood to have advised their clients that
the express company is liable under the
law for the tax and that it has no legal
right to throw the burden on shippers. The
board of trade has secured an opinion on
the point from Emile Newman, of Garrard,
■Meldrim & Newman, who writes as fol
lows :
Captain D. G. Purse, President Savannah
Hoard of Trade. —Dear Sir: Since meeting
you this morning I have looked into the
war revenue law, approved on June 13,
1898, in respect to the duty of a common
carrier to stamp bills of lading. This par
ticular tax is embraced in schedule A,
page 13, of the act before me, and it says:
that:
“That it shall be the duty of every rail
road or steamboat company, carrier, ex
press company, or corporation or person,
whose occupation is to act as such, to
issue to the shipper or consignor, or his
agent or person from whom any goods are
accepted for transportation, a bill of la
ding, manifest or other evidence of receipt
and forwarding for each shipment re
ceived for carriage and transportation,
whether in bulk or boxes, bales, packages,
bundles, or not so inclosed or included;
and there shall be duly attached and can
celled, as in 'this act provided, to each of
said bills of lading, manifest or other
memorandum, and to each duplicate there
of, a stamp of the value of 1 cent, provi
ded that but one bill of lading shall be re
quired of bundles or packages of news
papers when Inclosed in one general bun
dle at the time of shipment. Any failure
to issue such bill of lading, manifest or
other memorandum, as herein provided,
shall subject such railroad or steamboat
company, carrier, express company, or
corporation or person, to a penalty of SSO
for each offense, and no such bill of lad
ing. manifest or other memorandum shall
be used in evidence unless it shall be duly
stamped as aforesaid.
The difty is imperative on the carrier to
■affix the stamp, and failing to affix the
stamp it is liable to a penalty. I fail 'to
see how the express company can rexjuife a
•shipper to affix that stamp. It appears to
me that the duty is solely upon the com
mon carrier and that such carrier can be
compelled to affix the stamp at its Own
cost.”
As stated, other opinions have been ren
dered to the same effect, and the feeling
among business men, as a result, is very
strong against paying the tax.
The right of the 'telegraph company to
compel the public to pay the war tax on
telegraphic messages may also be tested in
the courts. An opinion is expected on this
point soon. This morning President Purse
ami Vice President Dixon, of the board of
trade, called at the telegraph offices
read over the instructions issued by the
companies to their agents. The result of
the action of the Cincinnati board of trade
on this question will be awaited with much
interest here.

Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. “Was taken with
a bad cold which settled on "tuy lungs;
cough set in and finally terminated in
consumption. Four doctors gave me up,
saying I could only live a short time. I
gave myself up to my savior, determined

TH ANKS OF THE REGIMENTAL OHAP
LAIN.
To the Editor of The News; Please give
me space in your valuable paper to thank
the benevolent spirited people of this city
for their help in supplying our regiment
with religious services, literature, etc. The
Epworth League and the First Baptist
church are splendid examples. The Y. M.
C. A. are, as is characteristic of them, on
the ground with pure literature, writing
■tables and stationery—all free. Their
quarters are resorted to for reading,
writing, and for such amusements as they
furnish. Some two hundred letters were
wj-Itten in their quarters on yesterday,
while probably five hundred visits were
made there. I hope there will be com
bined action in furnishing literature, and
especially to supply ample paper and en
velopes for the use of the boys. Contri
butions for these purposes may be de
livered at the Y. M. C. A. rooms here in
camp, or at' their rooms in the city. Of
ficers and men express themselves grati
fied at the work of the patriotic people of
Macon. Respectfully, O. H. Parker.
Chaplain.

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 8 189 b.
FULL OF YEARS
AND GOOD DEEDS.
Death of Miss Sara Bivens
Occurred this Morning at
Third Street Home.
MACON'S OLDISI NtSIDENT.
She Had Lived Here for Seventy-
Seven Years and Was Beloved
By Everyone.
Miss Sarah Bivins died this morning at
11 o’clock at her home on Third street.
Miss Bivins had been ill for some time
past and her death was not unexpected.
At the time of her death 'Miss Bivins was
probably the oldest resident of the city.
Miss Bivins was born in Macon in 1821,
two years before Macon was founded and
has resided here ever since. She was 77
years of age at the time of her death.
Miss Bivins was loved and respected by
all who knew her and it will be sad news
to her many friends to learn of her death.
Miss Bivins had a great fondness for
children and was always happy among
them.
She was a consistent member of Christ
church and up 'till her late illness was
always seen at all church services.
The deceased had lived’ a peaceful, quiet
life carrying the. love and respect of a very
large circle of friends. She was especially
beloved in the neighborhood in which she
liv&d and was looked upon almost as a
member of several families.
It would be hard to find a finer example
of a good Christian woman whose well
spent life from its morning to its evening
is a beautiful example for others to follow.
And in the evening of that life she passed
away full profound faith in the future
mourned sincerity by young and old. A
perfect woman whose joys have been
shared with others and whose sorrows were
undeserved.
The gloom that has fallen upon the fam
ilies among which she spent her life'is
very great and the sorrow of all is as the
sorrow of those who have lost one close
of kin.
The funeral services will be held tomor
row afternoon at 5:30 o’clock from Christ
church. Rev. Mr. Reese will officiate. No
pallbearers have yet been selected.

During the long drought the grass and

are choked so as to prevent the water from
running off in the heavy rains. This was
particularly noticeable on the corner of

SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
(For The Macon News.)
Hear ye! the trumpets stirring call
From Shafter’s army brave,
Who onward rush in serried ranks,
Fair Cuba’s sons t-o save,
The tyrant foe with venomed hate,
And, hopeless courage bold,
Will strive from hill top, and, from bay,
Their cruel grasp to hold.
And, ere we wrest from Spanish hands,
The pearl they’d crush to keep,
Full many of our comrades brave,
Will sleep their last long sleep;
With each report from Cuba now
Sorrow, and, joy will blend,
Each message as it flashes home,
Some loving heart will rend.
It may be some ones brother dear,
A sweetheart, or a son,
Who fell_ in heat of battle, and,
In death promotion won,
It may be one, whose fair wife waits
At home her soldier brave,
Who sought for glory 'neath the stars
But found a soldier’s grave.
But hark! the boom of Sampson’s guns
Give signal for the fray
Santiago lies before them now
And, freedom points the way
Now blended with the sullen boom
Os the great guns on the bay
The sharp crack of the rifles ring
And, Shafter leads the way.
Up! up through clouds of eulpherous
smoke
Our gallant soldiers go
Tho' crimson lines their pathway mark,
hey drive the stuborn foe,
Soon proud beside the statrs and stripes
The flag of Cuba waves.

Thanks God we’re no more slaves.
