A New York paper notes that

yer says “nothing neA is

Said. The whole discussion is futile
and gets neither the church' a| a boifj
nor the communicants anywhere
While it is true society, as ijt pres
ent constituted, rejects the idea o'
absolute “obedience” on the part oi
the wife, there is no argument fo
the elimination of this clause of th
ceremony that cannot be advance;
against all the purely religion
clauses of the ceremonial itself.-” Th<
paper goes on to stay:
Marriage is either a civil con¬
tract and nothing more or it is ol
religious significance so solemn
■ that any sort of phraseology that
< adds to its binding effect is per¬
missible.
j The bride promises to “obey,”
, the bridegroom endows the bride
with all his “worldly goods.”
As a matter of truth, in most
cases brides do not “obey” and
j the bridegroom holds on to his
“worldly goods.” A purely civil
marriage should satisfy those
who are afraid of ancient forms
i and those who cling to traditions
should be permitted the satisfac¬
tion of going through the cere¬
mony prescribed by the church.
Where love abounds in the one fo
the other there is little or no though
of the word “obey,” or of the endow
mont by the bridegroom of the bride
with his “worldly goods.’’ ' In their

CONFEDERATE STRENGTH

Hite, a Confederate veteran, hold-,
that A. B. Castleman’s calculation o
1,200,000 officers and men in the Jan

ecssive, and supports his own view
by quoting a letter in the New Yorl
Tribune of June 28, 1807, attribute!
to While-law Reid, as follows:
Among the documents which
fell into our hands at the down¬
fall of the Confederacy are the
returns, very jjparly complete, of
the Confederate armies from

of 1801 down to the spring of

carefully analyzed and I am en
ablcd to furnish returns in every
department and for almost every
month from these official sources.
We judge in all 600,000 men were
in the Confederate ranks during
the war.”

Brunswick’s future was nevei

It’s delightful to be “far from the

Brunswick next week.

In summing ijp jkhi> situation
Wpk«r declares- that the
the tax situation lied ip fording! inyjfe
ible property to pay its just propor¬
tion of taxes. This conclusion justi¬
fies the argument heretofore made by
he Tribune-Herald, which was prac¬
tically to the same effect.
Why shouldhnot invisible property
,pajr taxes ? . Invisible property con¬
sists of money, notes and accounts,
chattels,- not always visible to the
naked eye, but which actually exist:
nevertheless. Money is property just
as much . as realty or visible personal ,
property. It is worth just as much a:
tangible property, and just because
a man has turned his property into
money furnishes no reason why he
diould not pay taxes on it.
Having leacacd the root of the
matter, the solution is easy enough.
It is perfectly plain and logical, it is
ri together a question of the method
to be applied. Mr. Walker suggest:
an income tax such as now exists in
North Carolina. Such a tax is ad¬
mittedly unpopular among certain
classes, but all taxes are unpopular.
An income tax would not fully cover
the situation; taxes should be paid on
money or evidences of indebtedness
whether any income is -.derived from
them_or not. There is a good idea of
tangible property from which no in¬
come is derived, but it must pay taxes
nevertheless.
An income tax would help some, but
the thing most needed is some device
or machinery to be used in ferreting
out and discovering intangible prop¬
erty and forcing to pay its just pro
portion of taxes. If the legislature af
its next session will devise and ostab
lish such a method there will be lie
more trouble in Georgia in regard to
'.axation and no more difficulty in re¬
gard to the state’s income. There
will be plenty of in . the treas
money
ury to meet all necessary obligation:
besides furnishing sufficient funds
for properly taking care of and de
veloping- the state’s educational -and
other institutions.
Mr. Walker has struck the root of
the matter in the tax situation in
Georgia, and really it was easy
enough. In a nutshell it is, make the !
invisible property in Georgia pay its
just proportion of taxes, mid estab- !
1 ish a method of forcing that. Then
the whole situation will be settled.
