4 EXPERIENCES ATJSANTIAGO Macon Lady Writes of Her Experiences Since She Left for the Island. FIRST IMPRESSIONS THERE, As She Found Affairs When She Landed With Colonel Ray’s Regiment There. TIU' following i c an extract from a letter revived from a Macon lady now on a visit to <ut>a, and written from Santiago: "I wrote you from Nassau stating that we would spend one day there as a part of our <argo was to be disk barged at that i.iace The captain gave permission to the Sadie* to go ashore, and we of course, were glad to do so, as we knew it would be quite a treat to visit the island. • In -the evening the taplaln received a <•ai.le.gram informing him that a terrible etorm was blowing off Cuba and to wait at \‘.i - nt for instructions. it was not long before the sea was fearful, and th* lighters could not ‘get to the ship, we were com pelled to remain on the island much longer than we expeeted. Our steamer changed Ju position ami put into Southwest bay lor safely, and we were compelled to drive < Igbteen miles across the island and be carried to the steamer in a life boat. If you hav< never driven behind a Nassau horse then Is still something in the list <>f tills world's miseries in store for you. You can form -otm id, a of thorn when I tell you they are a cross between a balk ing mill- and a Hying beetle. Now you go, and now you don't. At the end of the ride n>e alighted at a little thacked shed, and after waiting about one hour and a half •we saw the Santiago (our steamer) coming Into the bay and soon we saw the lite boat dowered to come after tie. It was dark When we left the island, the sea very rough smd ilie - pray drenched us, but we finally reached the ship. She was running at an chor and in swinging around she came very near striking our little boat, and if *h, had that would have been the last of your humble servant. We finally got aboard mid were perfectly content without any more boat rides We remained In the bay (four blessed day- t’efore the seq was quiet enough for lie to continue our trip to Cuba, (but at last we started, and I was happy Nassau i- an old English town and quite a winter resort and a quaint old place, «l<an and beautiful. The houses are of etone with tiled floors, and we enjoyed our stay there very much, but were rather Um asy about making the return trip to our s»teamer. Lemons and all kinds of nuts grow wild mid there are Century plants ns tall as 1 am. The water is a beautiful (blue and <dear as crystal. You can see the fish at a great depth swimming around in the water. It is amusing to see little naked children dive for money. We had a very rough voyage mid while I was not exactly ria sick. I felt uneasy two days. On the steamer we had elegant fare and excellent attention, and the captain was kind and act ommod.iting to all. The Irish steward ess interested me from the first, she in sisted that I should take ten grains of quinine and some other mild doses before each breakfast. “We arrived al Santiago at 6 o’clock a. an. Monday morning the 6th of November. 'We soon entered the h.lrbor. It is long, narrow and torturous, and I noticed a number of block houses all along. The scenery is grand, it is impossible to im agine anything more beautiful, and it is glorious to see the sun rise over old EVlorro. You can see the camps of the lAmerican troops on the hills around the oily, and the city itself. Straggling away over the bills in every direction. We were met on the wharf by a crowd of Cuban Ipatriots, mid some reeoneentrado’s, at least 1 judged so from their fat stomachs siml thin legs, or they may have been illrownies. What pleased my eye most was a very American looking red mail box. just like those art home, attached to the lamp jHist. It reminded me so much of iiome that 1 wanted to embrace it. “Immediately on landing we wore met iliy Colonel Ray with a bright smile on his face as IM ns. Ray was on board, also Lieu tenant Colonel Wylly, wearing the silver leaf very gracefully. They are both look ing splendidly. Colonel Ray was exceed ingly kind to me and made all ‘arrange ments for me to go to Barricoa to join my husband, as he does not <now that I am H oming, would like to have a snap shot of blm when he sees me. Santiago, like Nas sau. is a very quaint old town with narrow streets, all the houses have tiled roofs and Hours, and the sides all windows and doors. A\ e went to the Cathedral to mass. It Is lovely and the music and paintings are •trand. We have been receiving callers all •lay. All the military officers from Gen eral Wood down have called on us. and a . -Mies Brooks, daughter of a wealthy Amer ican sugar planter and a lovely girl also, •■ailed. We are going to visit the battle fields tomorrow. General Wood spoke in the highest terms of Colonel Ray’s regi ment and the very fact that you belong to the Third regiment United States Volun teer Immunes is an open sesame to the hear s of the people. 1 will reach Barrack Saturday, the 12th of November. Oh happy •lay! I hear that the health of the regiment is greatly improved. most of the men (being now on duty and ready for any ser s ice that they may be called to perform.” PANSY CIRCLE Held a Meeting at the Public Library this Morning, The Pansy Circle meeting held this morm.ng in the parlor of the Public Li brary was decidedly the most encouraging meeting of f.he Circle |ip to this time.

A large number of people will attend and the dance will doubtless be a-swell affair. OUR STATE’S FINANCES (Continued from first page.) duly 1. The total estimated receipts to July 1, Including the increased revenue named, is $5,446,958.47. .Deducting it from the estimated expenditures, which is $2,- 905J29.26, would leave >n«tbe treasury a net balance of 1541,829.21 at the close of the second quarter, July 1, 1S!h8. “What would you suggest?” “Since the miscarriage of one piece of legislation in the interest of the schools has been the chief cause of the tJreeent trouble, and wince the only very large in crease made for any purpose has been in the interest of the schools, I think they should submit to some temporary neduc titgi which cannot seriously affect them, but one w'hich will result in ultimately putting them on a sounder basis. .1 do not advise that the amount .raised for the school purpoe.ee be reduced, but that the amount available for payments in 1899 be reduced. The question of income and rev enue xs settled if the school fund for 1899 from direct tax be placet! at SBOO,OOO, w'hich in view of its increased income from the penitentiary of $60,000 .would only be a decrease of $140,000, leaving the net income of the schools from ail source*; one and one-half million—just $140,000 Jews than in 1898. In order then to put the schools on a better basis for 1900, I think that the income from property in excess of 412,000,000 in 1899 should be aildej. to the school fund to the amount of $200,000; which should not be paid out in 1899, but carried over to 1900, to be added to tjje $800.0*8) appropriated for that year. ■Under I iris plan we would probably raise as much money in 1899 as 1898 for the schools, although $200,000 of it would not be expended until the next year. In ma king this concession the friends of the school and pension appropriations should demand that no appropriations for any purjMse be made until a bill for tax re form has been enacted which will war rant the conclusion that enough of the property of tax dodgers will be placed upon the tax digest to Increase the school revenue for 1900 from the tax on property in excess of $412,000,000. If the tax re form bill is not acted upon until after the friends of these appropriations have per mitted the reductions sugested, its chances of passage, which is essential to the raising of the $200,000 for use in 1900, ■which is to be deducted from the million dollar appropriation for 1899 will be large ly decreased.” "Do you think it practicable to mate rially increase the amount of property now returned for taxes?” “I do. By proper legislation I am cer tain that we can increase this amount to an extent that will not only enable us to raise the aditional $200,00 to cover the reduction of that amount from the school fund, but to authorize a reduction of the present tax rate. “If a bill is passed on the line of that introduced by Hon. R. W. Freeman, chair man of the ways and’ means committee of the house, to require all property sub ject to taxation to be placed on the tax digest and bear its share of the burden of taxation, there will be a large increase In tax values and a large revenue from property which it purposed to be raised in 1897, which now bears no part of the public burden. 1 have for years urged the gen eral assembly to do 'this, and am glad to believe that there is now a reasonable probability of seeing such a law enacted. There is in my opinion nearly $200,000,000 of personal and other property in this state which escapes taxation. If $50,000,- 000 of this can be placed on the rtax books it will yield a revenue of $300,000. From this source alone the state can raise more than enough money to raise the $200,000 for the school fund, and be enabled when the time arrives for the governor and comptroller-general to fix the tax rates to fix one lower than the rate for this year. “To this there could be added a consid erab.c increase in revenue by a tax on inheritances and requiring telegraph and telephone companies to pay an ad valorem tax. The property of the Western Union Telegraph company alone has been valued by a reputable authority at $128,000,000.' A fair valuation of that portion of the property lying in this state would largely increase the amount now paid by that company and would affect other companies the same way. The amount now paid by the Southern Express company is $3,500. When we consider the volume of business done by express companies in Georgia and the value of their franchises it can bo readily understood that justice de mands that there be a large increase of revenue from this source. These addition al sources of revenue would materially aid in reducing the tax rate. 1 cannot con ceive that any representative would prefer to attack old veterans and school chil dren to making all property bear its just Share of the public burden. In requiring property of telegraph and telephone com panies to pay an ad valorem tax, as other property is taxed, instead of the tax it now pays, an additional advantage gained would be that it would require of tin m also a tax for county and municipal pur poses, which, in my judgment would be entirely just.” “What is the cause of this determined effort to reduce pensions and cut the school appropriation ’to $600,000?” “Much of this comes. I believe, from the tax dodgers who are anxious to divert at tention from the effort to make them pay on property which now escapes taxation. The pension list Should not be disturbed, beyond purging it of those not entitled to receive pensions under the letter and spirit of th law, as it now exists, if Uiere be such on the pension rolls. I am op posed to reducing the school fund $400,- 000 and hope the general assembly will do nothing to impair the efficiency of the schools of Georgia. There should be no backward step in our school interests. The money spent for this object goes back among the people, improves society and benefits all. Those who have children to educate will find the cheapest way to edu cate them is by aiding the state in main taining the efficient' common school sys tem. Those who have property and po. children ought not to object to a proper school tax because it is the advantage of the country and of society, and having no children they are the better able to pay the tax than those who have. There is no danger of our statei impoverishing itself or its citizens by raising a tax for school purposes, which is again sent into circula tion among the people, not one dollar of which is spent outside of the state. I hope that the general, assembly will un derstand that to seriously impair the com mon schools of the state is a blow at the rural districts and at the country people. The cities and towns will adjust their tax rate to a nine months school and give to their children the best advantages that can be had, unaffected by any reduction of the school fund by the general assem bly. The blow which the members of the general assembly is asked to Strike at the common schools will fall alone upon the rural population, decrease their advan tages and the opportunities of their chil dren, while every advantage now enjoyed by town and city children is continued in force. This blow ought not to be struck, and I do not believe it will be.” “Do you think the assault upon the school and pension appropriations will succeed ?” "I feel sure that it will not. Following close upon a campaign in, which every candidate for governor proclaimed him self the friend of these appropriations, its success would be remarkable, if not start ling. Under the circumstances it would be an extraordinarily surprising victory should the tax dodger prevail against the interest of the honest tax payer who gives in all of hTs property at a fair valu ation, against the interest of the Confed erate pensioner whose right to a pension is now challenged by the tax dodger and against the interest of the children upon the development of whose minds depends the material and intellectual progress of the state.” LAWS FOR HAWAII Will Be Passed at the Next Session of Con gress.
