A- Tax Law Introduced.
Speaker Little of the Georgia
House of Representatives introduced
a comprehensive tax bill last week
Its purpose is to bring to the di
gests and taxation all property in
the state, and thereby make equal in
ratio the burden of taxation. In
speaking of this bill, the Atlanta
correspondent of the Macon Tele
graph says:
“It is proposed to create in each
county of this state a board of tax
assessors consisting of two compe
tent persons besides the tax receiv
er, who is by virtue of his office a
member of the board. To this board
all property of every character sub
ject to taxation is to be listed be
tween April 1 and June 1 of each
year, and by them assessed at its
true value; and returns made by
such board to the tax collector, or
dinary and state board of tax com
missioners provided for -in the bill,
at the time such returns are now
made by the tax receivers in the re
spective coimties.
‘Provision is made for an appeal
from the assessment of any county
board of tax assessors to the state
board of tax commissioners, and for
the prompt hearing and disposition
of such appeals by the state board.
“The state board of tax commis
sioners is to consist of two proper
and competent persons, together
with the comptroller-general, who,
by virtue of his office, is to be a
member of such state board. To a
large extent the duties of the comp
troller-general, as now prescribed by
law, in so far as they relate to the
enforcement of the revenue laws of
the state, will in future be performed
by the state board of tax commis
sioners, especially with reference to
the assessment of the property of all
corporations or persons who are now
by law or will be by the provisions
of this bill required to make returns
for taxation to the comptroller-gen
eral.
‘The state board shall also in ad
dition to the hearing of appeals and
assessing the property of all corpo
rations and persons now required to
make returns to the county boards,
provide all proper books, blanks, in
structions, etc., and prescribe neces
sary rules and regulations for the
proper carrying out of the provisions
of the revenue laws of the state.
‘Under the provisions of this bill,
all corporations of every character
existing under the laws of Georgia
and doing business here are required
to make returns of their capital
stock and of all bonds, debentures,
certificates and other evidences of
indebtedness issued by them, and
provision is made for the enforce
ment of taxation against such bonds,
debentures, certificates or other evi
dences of indebtedness, as well as
stock, by the creation of a lien upon
dividends, interest or returns of any
character, due or horeafter to be
come due, in the other.
“Provision is also made for taxa
tion of express, telegraph, telephone,
sleeping car and dining or chair car
companies doing business in this
state, on the same basis and in the
same manner as the property of rail
road ^companies is now being taxed.
That is to say, such companies shall
pay a tax upon the proportion of all
of their assets of every character
whatever which their'lines in Geor
gia or in each county may bear to
the length of their lines every
where.”
Capitalists could greatly benefit
farmers and themselves by establish
ing industries in the south that
would increase the demand for
Georgia farm products. The estab
lishment that would buy hogs and
cattle all seasons of • the year would
mean millions to Georgia farmers,
and therefore much profit to all.
Under protest the Spanish peace
commissioners have agreed to accept
the terms of peace submitted by the
United States commissioners. The
Philippines will become a colony of
the United States, and Spain will
receive $20,000,000. Reports from
Paris say the treaty, of peace will be
completed and signed within ten
days.
A terrific storm prevailed along
the New England coast last Satur
day and Sunday, resulting in much
damage to shipping and other inter
ests. It is reported that more than
seventy lives were lost, and about
one hundred vessels of all sorts
wrecked. It is reported as the most
disastrous storm on record for many
years.
Thebe is much speculation through
out Georgia concerning “hidden
wealth,” in connection with the uni
versal desire to reduce taxation and
at the same time secure enough to
pay the expenses of government.
The hope prevails that the legisla
ture will provide the means of find
ing that hidden wealth. The tax on
it is needed by the state and the
people who have no wealth at all.
Post-Office Business.
The annual report of Postmaster
General Smith, issued last week,
gives some remarkable evidence of
growing business throughout the
country, or at least in letter writing.
He says, in part:
“The rapid and amazihg growth
of the postal business in all its
branches is its most striking feature.
In 1880 the gross revenue of the de
partment was $83,315,479 and the
gross expenditure was $36,542,804;
the number of postoffices was 43,-
000, and the tosal number-of post
age stamps, stamped envelopes and
wrappers, and postal cards issued
was 1,367,397,047. In the fiscal-year
1898 the gross revenue was $89,-
012,618 and the gross expenditure
was $98,033,523; the number of
postoffices was 73,000 and the'total
issue of postage stamps, stamped
envelopes and wrappers, and postal
cards was 4,614,090,000.
“Tne estimated income for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, is
$100,958,111.55 and the estimated
expenditure $105,224,000, leaving an
estimated deficit of $4,265,888.45.”
The St-.. Petersburg correspondent
of the Berliner Tageblatt says: “A
Russian diplomatist in the course of
an interview, has declared that Rus
sia will not stir a finger to prevent
the United States- from occupying
the Philippines, but he said he was
unable to conceal his conviction that
the injustice of the American atti
tude presaged the termination of the
friendship which has hitherto exist
ed between Russia and the United
States.”
In 1896 the city digests of Atlan
ta, Augusta and Macon showed an
aggregate valuation of property of
$68,486,866, while the same proper
ty was on the county digests for
$51,780,853. The difference in favor
of tiie cities amounted to $16,705,-
013. They say practically the same
condition exists this year. Why is
it that city property is worth more
for city taxation than for county
taxation? Along this line there is
much room for tax reform.
The new battleship Wisconsin was
launched at San Francisco- last Sat
urday.
Don’t Break the Whistle.
The regular passenger train on
the Southwestern-railroad, due to
reach Macon at about 4 o’clock p.
m., was delayed over two hours last
Friday, afternoon.
When that train reached Fort
Valley this writer asked. a member
of of the train crew what caused the
delay.
“The wistie broke,” he replied.
We smiled audibly.
“Ton needn’t laugh,” said he, ’‘we
can’t do much without the whistle.”
He then explained that the whistle
in large measure is responsible as
a governor of and-safety vale for the
engine. The broken whistle allow
ed steam to escape from the boiler,
and the power of the engine was
weakened. That’s exactly what the
trouble was.
That broken whistle not only was
a serious injury to that engine, but
it caused annoyance and disappoint
ment to every person connected with
that train iny any degree whatever.
This incident brings up the thought
that the locomotive is not the only
engine that is benefitted by the use
of a whistle. The human engine is
in a measure answerable to the res
trictions of such an attachment.
The whistle is a safety valve to
boy and man.. The boy who whis
tles can be depended upon. His
temper is in good shape, and wheth
er at play or at work, he is not reck
lessly going on the wrong track.
As with the boy, so with the man.
He who whistles is under correct
control; the safety valve of temper
and appetite is performing its func
tions properly, and the power and
inclination to go forward in good
shape is unimpaired. The man whose
whistle is in good shape is in good
humor, and in the exercise of good
judgment is not allowing his ener
gies to go to waste.
The human as well as the mechan
ical engine needs the whistle, and its
proper use guards against danger
and insures the proper performance
of duty.
Don’t break the whistle.
When Stephen Crane wrote “The
Red Badge of Courage” he had nev
er been in a field of battle and knew
nothing of military affairs. His work
excited great admiration. But later
on he went to Cuba and was in the
front at San Juan Hill, and in the
December Cosmopolitan we have an
other st?ry, this time from a real
field of battle, entitled “The Woof
of Thin Red Threads.” It will be
interasting for those ivho are famil
iar with his previous work to com
pare the two—the imaginary and
the real. Apropos of the name Cos
mopolitan it is rather curious to note
that the. December issue of that
magazine contains one article hav
ing to do with Spain, another with
India, another with-Japan, another
with Cuba; another with Jamaica,
another with England, another with
Rome, and still another with France.
This is a pretty wide range.
—The lo>v price of cotion has
given H )us;on farmers “the blues”
this fall, and with most of them
money is exceedingly scarce.
Though feeling sorely their inabil
ity to meet all their obligations,
they do not propose to give up but
will “cut and come ag-uu.” They
are now busy closing up the bar
vest and plowing in grain. Those
who are uuab'e to pay their debts
now hav % no idea of repudiation,
bat will make plentiful supplies of
all food products next year, and
have for sal Q a few other thiugs
than cotton. Tney have the intel
ligence, energy and persevereuce
that commaud success.
A negro soldier, Private Lindsay,
has been tried by conrtmartial for
murder, at Huntsville, Ala., and is
now under sentence to be hung,
when President McKinley signs the
death warrant and sets the day.
The condemned man killed a mess
mate in a drunken brawl ten days
prior to the trial. This is the first
death sentence passed upon an en
listed man since the beginning of
the war with Spain.

Onr town moves swiftly anyway,
cotton or no cotton, though the El

wise but full? '
Thanksgiving day was appropri
ately observed. Rev. Wesley Lane
held services at the Methodist
church, with a large audience. All
the stores were closed, and many
shots were fired, but few of the
feathery tribe were hurt. Mr. C. E.
Eubanks can kill 2 .out of 7 if they
are perfectly still and he has rest.
Mi - . J. N. Bnff is successful in shoot
ing “Mollie Cotton Tail” if she is in
a hollow log and -it not much larger
than the game, and log straight, so
he shoots down the hollow.
Much grain is being sown in this
section—oats, wheat and rye—and if
as much cotton is planted another
year, it will be done by planting the
stubble land. More syrup than ever
before known was made in this sec
tion, and generally of the best qual
ity.
Our school, under the manage

experienced educators, you can say
that the public is invited to attend
an entertainment on December 23rd.

Pound, was principal of our school.
Mr. W. F. Bragg, of Brownwood,
pleases his friends occasionally now
by his visits to Elko. Mr. Bragg is
truly a wide-awake fanner—hog,
hominy and all eatables in abund
ance. He raises more than enough
meat for the labor required on his
12-mule farm; in fact he sells enough
meat and lard to nearly furnish the
farm. In addition to this, he raises
cotton—from 10 to 15 bales to the
mule. He expects to kill in the
neighborhood if not quite 12,000
pounds meat this year. If the ma
jority of farmers would do this the
present price of cotton would not be
so near unbearable. Let’s try it.
The stealing of hogs has begun.
Three negroes were tried Saturday
before Justice W. L. Means for this
offense, all for the same bog, which
was surely hard to catch, and his
hair must have been long and plen
tiful. The stolen hog was the prop
erty of their fellow color, Charles
Varnadoe.

A startling incident of which
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by
him as follows: “I was in a most
dreadful condition. My skin was

coated, pain continually in back

growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. For

joy and surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for thrpp weeks
and am now a well man. I know
