The State Cannot Tax Dispensa
ries—The Case From
Whigham.
We clip the following from tne
Atlanta Constitution of Thursday,
It refers to the case of
County vs Town of Whigham,
which refsued to pay ad valorem
taxes on the wines, liquors, etc.,
of the dispensary in the place:
The supreme court of Georgia
handed down an opinion yester¬
day of interest, in not only that
they reversed Attorney General
Hart, but because of the public
interest involved in the decision.
The legislature several years ago
incorporated the town of Whig
ham, in Decatur county, and con¬
ferred the exclusive light upon
the mayor and council of the mu¬
nicipality to engage in and sell
for profit liquor within the cor¬
porate limits.
The authorities raised the point
that they were not liable to ad
valorem taxes to the state and re¬
fused to pay them when demand
ed.
Comptroller General Wright
submitted the question to Attor¬
ney General Hart, who decided
that the contention of the muni¬
cipality, that its liquors were
‘‘public property” and not sub¬
ject to taxation, was unsound,
and he advised the comptroller
general that this property was
subject to ad valorem taxation.
The case was recently argued
in the supreme court and the at¬
torney general appeared there in
favor of the state and-argued that
this property, the wines, the li¬
quors and beers of the dispen¬
sary was subject to taxation as
would be the liquors of any other
dealer therein. The attorney
general argued that the legisla¬
ture of this state had no author¬
ity to grant to a municipality the
right to engage in the liquor bus¬
iness purely for profit, and an ef¬
fort on the part of the legislature
to do such a thing was beyond
the powers granted in the consti¬
tution to the legislature; that
while there was no express pro¬
vision in the constitution restrict¬
ing the power of the legislature
in this respect yet the constitulion
should be construed in the light
of the purpose for which it was
created as expressed in the pre¬
amble, and that acting upon this
rule of construction there was
nothing in it which authorized
the legislature to place a
or municipality in this traffic

profit, that the wines, liquors,
beers and stock in trade was not
‘‘public property” in the sense
which the constitution contem¬
plates might be exempt from tax¬
ation.
In the opinion handed down
yesterday the court disagrees
with the attorney-general on all
of those propositions and holds
that the buildings occupied and
used for the storage of the wines,
liquors, etc., as well as the stock
in trade, eonsi-;tin<> of malt, spir¬
ituous and vinous liquors is
“public property” and not sub¬
ject to ad valorem taxation.
This decision has gone further
than any deliverance heretofore
by this court and the advocates
of dispensaries are greatly pleas¬
ed over the victory.
TO TAX DISPENSARIES.
In line with the foregoing case,
it may be said that an effort will
bo made when the general tax act
comes up in the house today to
put a state tax on all city, town,
or county dispensaries, different
from any tax that has as yet been
assessed against them.
At present the only tax that
dispensaries pay to the state is
$200 a year, which is the same
specific tax that is assessed
agamst all other liquor dealers.
When the general tax act comes
up today Mr. Moses, of Coweta,
will offer an amendment provid¬
ing that all city, town, and coun¬
ty dispensaries shall pay into the
state treasury 10 per cent of its
annual net profit. Mr. Moses
says the state gets no other taxes
from dispensaries except the$200
specific tax, and he believes the
state is entitled to receive some
revenue from them. Under the
present law no other tax can be
assessed against them, and in
order to tax them there must ne
some legislation on the subject
either in general act or in special
act.

Blue Springs last week.
Misses Pinson and Van Vickie
entertained in honor of Miss Bar¬
nette Wednesday evening.
“School Girl” spent a recent
week at Blue Springs in Brooks
county. It is an excellent little
pleasure resort between Valdosta
and Quitman and the scenery
round-aboutis perfectly splendid.
Especially beautiful is it at sun¬
set when there’s a golden glow on i
the western sky, and the stars
flash out on the deepening blue
like rare gems in the ertsi of a
king; when strange feelings and
thoughts all undefined flow
through the soul’s deep chambers
like flitting shadows; when the
laughter of merry girls blends
harmoniously with the whisper¬
ing of the tall, beautiful trees..
But more beautiful by far comes
tho morning with its brilliant,,
glorious light. Then we know
that the Harp of Genius does
thrill at the touch of a master
hand, that Art triumphs and Sci¬
ence reigns everywhere. It was
indeed a week of pleasure and of
happiness.
M : sses Pinson, Van Vickie and
Barnet'e went down to Camilla
Wednesday to visit Miss Ruth
Wilson,
The entertainment to have been
given by Miss Hattilu Glosier in
honor of Miss Stacy Wednesday
evening was postponed indefinite¬
ly on account of the illness of one
of the number.
Great care should be exercised
when it comes to congratulating
a prospective hi ide-groom. In
fact, there should be no congrat¬
ulations until after the ceremony,
for “there’s many a slip” you
know, even if the right man is
congi atulated. C?

some very valuable suggestions

Water Works for Camilla.
The question of water works
for Camilla is being agitated with
reasonable prospects of their be¬
ing secured.
The building of the new jail will
necessitate water works forsanita
ry purposes for that building and
the towm and county authorities
can get together in a division of
the cost of the plant, or, as has
been suggested, the town will buy
the electric light plant and com¬
bine it with the water works plant
and thus make one set of hands
and lot of machinery do for both,
and in that event the town will
contract with the Commissioners
to furnish both water and lights
to the new jail and court house.
A system of water works for
fire protection will mean lower in¬
surance rates and this saving
alone will go far towards paying
the cost of maintaining the
plant. Lets have the water
works gentlemen.
