 A Philadelphia business man who has been visiting the Georgia marble quarries brings back a very glowing report of their resources. He reports that the main marble deposit runs along the railroad which connects Marietta with the heart of the Blue Ridge and is "of all grades and shades from coal black to pure white statuary marble. There can be found there in unlimited quantities pink, blue, gray, red, black and white marbles.'' A Vermont marble man is quoted by this Phil adelphian as asserting that he had walked over more marble in one day in Georgia than ever existed in the whole Green Mountain State. The Philadelphian also states that there is but little waste in getting out the Georgia marble, not more than ten per cent. of it being lost and that peculiar feature of it is that it cannot be stained The whisky men are naturally much dis turbed by the decision of the attorney gen. eral that whisky under bond for exportation must pay the domestic tax if it is not export ed within the time-seven months-allowed by a treasury regulation for the completion of the exportation, but they cannot fairly complain. They have been very leniently treated by the government. Those interest ed in whisky owners as holders of its collateral proposed to export the surplus product and were allowed seven months af ter the expiration of the regular bonding period in which to do this. They were to give exportation bond, but at their desire the whisky so bonded for export was allowed to remain in the original bonded ware houses until removed for export. Much of it has been allowed to remain there until the expiration of the seven months, and it is on this whisky which has not been exported within the prescribed time that the attorney general tells the secretary of the treasury it is his duty to collect the tax.
