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 lore ti ey forget ihe petty and Jiv< fw . the hig]lej . an ,j „ obIcr things! of ^r c ] lave bu t one life to live u-no this earth, and we shall be far bettei off and far happier if wo shall let lovr ru j R r .,j j 101 . t} )an selfishness, and til sticklors for form can but be selfish am ^ being selfish, they are unhappy.

Castleman’s calculation o 1,200,000 officers and men in the Jan uary number was preposterously ex 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 j j their organization in the summer of 1801 down to the spring of j 1865. These returns have been carefully analyzed and I am en ablcd to furnish returns in every department and for almost every month from these official sources.

And it is growing brighter all the time. That is authentic. The supreme court of the United States holds that the three-mile limit is .the limit.

New York has repealed its “dry law,” the general assembly making | the act void. But it so lrrppens that! New York -s not the United States —and we shall see what we shall see in regard to this prohibition law. It’s delightful to be “far from the madding throng,” and live down here in God's country in peace. There are thousands who are harking the call of the “sad sea waves,” and “it’s grand and glorious feeling” to be among the St. Simon contingent. Macon and Brunswick are decided¬ ly in the limelight this week and next. Macon is holding the Georgia, Incor¬ porated, conference and her centen¬ nial celebration this week, while the great Altamaha System of Rivers convention will hold the boards in Brunswick next week. A man never knows what he car, accomplish till he tries, and a town is Ihe same way.

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.
