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. A Narrow .Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S.

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. Camp Price. Macon. Ga.. July 7. CZLSTOTTIA,.

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. OA.STOZFLT.Zk..

CASTOTIIA., Bears the Kind You Have Always Bought 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. “Cuba Libre” patriots cry Thanks God we’re no more slaves.
