There were severs 1 returned

The people of Covington did
their best to entertain the visitors,
nothsug was left undone that could
be done. The committee consist¬

The resolution passed on the

INHERITANCE TAX.
The following extract from an
editorial in the Fail River Globe

cumu!ated ^ f e ° r . , ! m lies the i tbatare United bei,, States S ac in '
tllRse later years, and the relatively
9raall ^o»“tof legitimate taxes
collected on them during the life
time of tJ * ir lessors, has caused
; the public to look with favor on
| the inheritance tax idea. At pre
sent all bnt 13 of the states and
territories have enacted laws pro¬
vising for the collection of such a
tax, although there is considerable
difference in the scope and appli
cation of the same in many of the
states.
The general scheme is to deduct
a certain percentage of the inherit
ed estate before it passes to the
heirs. In this way a portion, at
least, of the money, that should
have perhaps, rightfully gone into
the public treasury had said estate
borne equitable share of the public
bnrden is recovered. The operat¬
ions of this tax in many of the
states where it has been establish
ed are producing a considerable
revenue. New York is naturally
at the head of the* list, inasmuch
a3 it is to that city that the posses¬
sors of these swollen fortunes, gen¬
erally gravitate to enjoy the same
if they have not already made
their money in that abode and
Mecca of the disciples of Mammon
A bulletin recently issued by the
Massachusetts bureau of statistics,
gives the income from this source
in New York, as $4,005,735 in i908
$5,792,830 in 1904, while for 1965
with the tax on some estates yet
unadjusted, the amount exceeded
$5,000,000 in a total of 5,431
deaths, or an average of about
$1,000 each. Pennsylvania, Mass¬
achusetts and Illinois corns next
in order among the revenue gath
erers from thir tax. Pennsylvania
collected 11,800,83-1 iu 1003; $1,
080,578 in 1904, and $1,077,185 in
190o, the latter sum having been
assessed upon 3,000 estates.
Roberts-Ross.
One of the pretty home wed¬
dings of the week was that of Miss
Helen Roberts and Mr. Thomas
Ross, of Macon, which took place
Thursday evening at the home of
the bride’s parents on Houston st.
Dr. T. W. Lee performed the im¬
pressive ceremony in the presence
of a large number of friends.
Mrs. Stewart Roberts was ma
tron of honor. The maids were
Mies Gladys Tilly of Conyers, Miss
Alice \Y illiams of Haddocks, Miss
Lillian Solomon of Macon, Miss
Dessa Hayes of Covington and Miss
Ilene Roberts.
Mrs. Roberts wore a gown of
white silk and the bridesmaids
were also in white, wearing soft
mull frocks and short tulle veils.
They carried bouquets of white
roses.
Mr. C'ay Murphy of Macon was
best man, and Mrs. Charles Robers
and Mr. Gabriel Solomon of Ma¬
con, Mr. Cullen Branan and Mr.
Walter Ross of Pretoria, and Mr.
Donald Davis of Albany were
groomsmen.
The bride was never fairer thhn
in her wedding gown of chiffon
cloth, fashioned princess, and
trimmed in lace. Her bouquet
was ot bridemaid roses, showered
with swansonia.
Mr. Ross is a prominent young
business man of Pretoria, and af¬
ter an extensive trip north he will
take his bride there, where they
will make their home.

show comes highly reccomended.
One Boston paper, speaking of
the theatrical profession on a com¬
mercial basis, says: The success¬
ful shows of the past three seasons
have been those in the farce com¬
edy line, owing to the fact that
that times have evolutionized and
come back to the old days of farce
comedy pure and simple. The
people of to-day are not paying to
see the dark side of life, the evil
traits of one man or the good of
another; they see and read of them
every day. Whit they want is
something that will divert their
mind from every-day. And that
something is the farce comedy
actress or actor, that is gifted
with the power to make us forget
the trouble of every day, in laugh¬
ter. And if they can do this for
two hours or more, for a price in
reach of all, they place their pro¬
fession on a commercial basis, as
manufacturers of laughter, a sure
antidote for sorrow.
This will be at the Music Hal]
next Monday night Sept., 24th.

BRYAN’S WELCOME.
The welcome accorded W. J.
Bryan on his return from a year’s
voyage abroad was the greatest
honor ever paid to a private citi¬
zen. That Bryan holds first place
in the hearts of liis countrymen
cannot be doubted.
Mr. Bryan made a magnificent
speech. He to a certain extent
outlined the issues on which the
next democratic fight would be
made. He ou lined the issues;
the people make them .
From some quarters ho is criti¬
cised for saying anything of Gov¬
ernment ownership of the rail¬
roads. Bryan never keeps any¬
thing from the people; That’s
his success. That he is not a pol¬
itician in the usual acceptance of
the word is known by all. He
knows nothing of schemes; he has
convictions and the courage to ex¬
press them.
But candidly if government ow-

GET THE AGRICULT
TURAL COLLEGE!
We Must let not let This Chance
To Enrich Onr Town and
County slip by—Citizens
let’s get the College.
Covington citizens should bestir
themselves a3 to the Agricultural
col ege. Newton is undoubtedly tLt
fading agricultural county in this
district and for that reason should
have first chance to secure the col¬
lege.
wo. can certainly get it if we only
make the proper effort. We will
not get it if we do not mako the
effort. There are other counties
in the district who have an eye on
the college and we want it we will
have to do something and do it
quick.
It would be of great benefit to
us. The six thousand dollars
brought into the county every year
would put a neat sum into circul¬
ation in tins county.
Let some of our enterprising cit¬
izens take the lead in this matter.

nership of the roads is right, ought
not the populists get a good share
of the credit for the education of
the masses? Did they not “dis¬
cover” it was right first? Have
they not forced the Democratic
party to accept many of their doc¬
trines? Let us give honor unto
whom honor is due.
As for us we are for Bryan and
Watson in 1908; let us put forth
the ticket in 1908 that ought to
have been put forth in 1896.
