THE STAMP TAX
The war revenue bill goes into
effect on July I, and it would be
well for the readers of The Record
to familiarize themselves with the
stamp tax before it becomes oper¬
ative, as there are penalties at¬
tached for failure to affix the
proper stamp to papers and docu¬
ments which are to be taxed under
the new law.
Remember cnch Lank check or
draft must bear a stamp. Also
every bill of lading, mortgage, con
veyance, leases, power of attorney,
warehouse receipts, telegraph mes
sages and , express packages. , , In
every instance the stamp must be
affixed and the person affixing it
must across
its face his initials and tho dale.
The tax act provides that if any
instrument or document specified
as subject to* a tax stamp is ieft
unstamped “with intent to evade
the provisions of this act,” the of¬
fender shall bo deemed guiltv of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall bo fined not exceeding $50,
or imprisoned not exceeding six
months, or both.
Here is another provision of the
law: “Such instrument, document
or paper not being stamped ac¬
cording to law shall bo deemed in¬
valid and of no effect.” This pro¬
vision is especially important in
real estate transactions. A deed
to real estate for which the con¬
sideration exceeds $100 and does
not exceed $500, must bear a fifty
cent stamp, and there must bo a
similar stamp for oaeh additional
$500. Failure to affix the proper
number of stamps will invalidate
the deed.
Each promissory note for more
than $100 must bear a fifty cent
stamp, and without it there might
be some difficulty in collection.
It will prove a hard matter to
convince a judge and jury that the
stamp was omitted with intent to
defraud, and we predict that many
complications will arise through
a misconstruction of the law.
TRANKS, MR. BLOUNT.
Tho Record wishes to return its
heartfelt thanks to Mr. II. P.
Blount, of Atlanta, a life-long
friend of former Editor White, for
his many acts of kindness during
his last illness and death, and for
the generous spirit shown m coin¬
ing all tho way from Atlanta to
Wrightsville to personally attend
to tho editorial duties and look
after business matters pertaining
to the paper, slighting his own
business affairs et home.
Mr. Blount is a genial, whole
souled gentleman, popular with
the masses, and widely known in
the south as one of the most force¬
ful writers on economic problems
in the country.
The Record will gladly give
space to contributions from Mr.
Blount’s pen, and they will ap¬
pear at frequent intervals.
THEY KNEW AND LOVED HIM
Below are given a few clippings
taken from the pros* on tho death
of former Editor White of The
Record. Words of sympathy for
his wife and family and the high
esteem in which he was held as a
mini and as an advocate of politi¬
cal reform are too numerous to
be given spaco this week:
Editor Walter J. White, of The
Record, Wrightsville, Ga., died on
Thursday Dr. last at tho sanitarium of
Holmes in Atlanta, where he
had been under treatment for sev¬
eral weeks. He went there early
in May and had an operation per¬
formed, after which he was taken
with malarial fever, and though
everything skilled medical treat¬
ment and careful nursing could
dp was done, he continued to sink
and passed away, lii-s devoted wife
and sons buug present in hie last
Lours,
Mr. White was about 40 years
of age. He was buried at Atlanta,
which had bo°n his home before
going to Wrightsville.
Mr. White had been in the news¬
paper business all his life, and had
been publishing The Record at
Wrightsville for about a year and
a half.
It was our pleasure to be with
him on several occasions and a
more genial, affable man we never
met. He was always ready to ac¬
commodate a friend aud assist the
needy.
His virtues were many and his
faults few. His work is done on
earth and tvo hope he is at rest in
the better land.—Dublin Courier.
We regret to learn of tiie death
of Mr. Walter J. White, editor of
the Wrightsville, Record, which
occurred at Dr. Holmes’ sanitar¬
ium iu Atlanta last Thursday.
Mr, White was one of the best
known newspaper men hi Georgia.
He leaves a wife and three eons.—
Carrollton Advocate,
Editor Walter J. White, of the
Wrightsville Record, died in At¬
lanta a few days ago after a short
illness at. the age of 43 years.
Editor White was born in Har¬
ris county and early in life entered
the newspaper field.
Since the spring of 1891 he had
been active in the reform field and
practically fighting died jn the harness

His genial, lovable nature won
hi in scores of friends who always
him a tiue blue.
His widow and threo sons will

ville/ The reform movement in
Georgia lias lost a valuable worker.
Party Paper.
The government pays $5,000 a
year for the use of a mail car, be¬
sides so much per pound for car¬
rying the mails. As the life of a
car is said to be 20 years, the rail¬
road company receives $100,000
for its use, and the original cost is
only $4,5(X). The government pays
more than the value of the car for
one year’s use of it—or rent. Yet
there are people who think that
private ownership of railroads is
“a thing of beauty and a joy for¬
ever.”
The letter of acceptance of the
Hop. J. R. Ilogan, populist nomi¬
nee for governor, is an aide paper
—such a letter as was worthy of
him—and well worth the perusal
of every one, whether lie be popu¬
list, democrat or republican. .His
warning note to his party through¬
out the state regarding thorough
organization and the election of
their best men, especially to the
legislature, will, we trust, bo con¬
formed to.
