EXPRESS COMPANY MUST PAY.
On the other Hand Western Union
Need Not AMY Stamps.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 2--The patrons OF
the Southern Express' Company in Geor-
gia will not in the future be required to
pay for the revenue stamps affixed to the
bills of lading issued by the company. ~
The senders of messages over the West
ern Union Telegraph Company Will con-
tnue 20 pay the 1 cent war tax.
The Georgia Railroad Commission de-
cide1 the two cases in reference to the
express and telegraph companies to-day.
The decision was against the former, but
favorable to the latter.
Able and elaborate opinions were rem
deTed in each case by Judge Spencer r.
Atkinson on behalf Of the commission. 1t
was held that the express company in
issuing a bill of lading was required TO
put a stamp upon il in order to make it
legal and that the company had no right
to ask the cost OF the stamp from the
shipper.
The commission takes the position that
by requiring the one cent tax to be paid
by the shipper the express company is in
principle as much guilty of an overcharge
as if il exacted $i0O in each case.
In the case of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company the commission held that
. the company was not required to receive
a message until it was stamped. 1t does
not become a legal message until the
sender puts the revenue stamp upon 1t.
Both decisions We're haunded down by
Judge Spencer r. Atkinson.
No suits will be commenced against the
Southern Express Company for past vio-
lations, as considerable doubt existed as
to the proper construction of the law.
Judge Atkinson gives il as his opinion
that under the act of Congress a tele-
graph company is required to affix a

make me feel like emphasizing more
strongly the need Of having your organi-
zatiou work through some representative
who is on the ground if the Georgia boys
are to get the benefit OF what you are
doing. Permit me to mention a few tacIs;
Seven hundred dollars was sent in cash
to one of the chaplains Of our regiment
now on the field. The chaplain spent the
money to have a good time himself and
was court martialed and dishonorably
discharged
Two quartermasters were dishonora-
bly, discharged and drummed out of camp
at Crtckamauga for using money sent u
them for the benefit OF the soldiers.
"a sum of money sent to Tampa vas
used sor wine supper.
one young man stated the other day
thut he had spent 5000 for fun which had
been sent TO hifn by anxious friends.
Two others had spent $50 each, ard
three So each.

sent so to her boy, which was used up "a
one week. She asked what had been done
with it. and he told her he had PLACED
