FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION.
Stamp Provision Of the New Revenue Bill
to Be Kept In Mind.

Stamp Provision Of the New Revenue Bill
to Be Kept In Mind.
The stamp taxes provided in the
war revenue bill goes into effect the
first of July and the people should
become familiar with them before that
time, as penalties are provided for
failure to afix the proper stamp to
papers and documents which are to be
taxed under the new law.
Each bank check or draft must bear
O stamp. So must every bill Of lading,
mortgage, conveyance, lease, power OF
attorney, warehouse receipt, telegraph
message and express package. The
stamp must be affixed and the person
afixing it must cancel it by writing
across its face his initials and the date.
The tax act provides that il anything
that is specified as subject TO tax
stamp is left unstamped "with intent
to evade the provisions OF this act"
the offender shall be deemed guilty OF
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be fined not exceeding $50, or
imprisoned not exceeding six months,
or both.
Another provision is that "such in:
strument, document, or paper not
being stamped according to law shall
be deemed invalid and of no effect. T"
This provision is especially important
In real estate transactions. A deed to
real estate for which the consideration
exceeds 500 and does not exceed
$500 must. bear 30 cent stamp, and
there must be similar stamp for each
additional $500.
The failure to affix the proper num-
Der Of stamps will invalidate the deed.
Each promissory note for more than
500 must bear 50.cent stamp.

JUDGE Fish WINS, CONTEST.
THE RESULT OF GEORGIA'S JU.
DICIAL PRIMARY.
NO OPPOSITION FOR CHIEF JUSTICE
Lewis Also Unanimously Renomiaated
Assoclate-Only Fight Was Be-
tween Fish and Gober.

The primaries throughout Georgia
Thursday to name supreme court
judges resulted as follows:
For Chief Justice-Hon. Thomas j.
Simmons, Of Bib.
For Associate Justice-Hon. w. II.
Fish, of Sumter; Hon. Hal T. Lewis,
OF Greene.
Returns from official sources, to-
gether with reliable estimates, omit.
ting several counties in doubt, give
Fish o total of 210 votes in the con-
vention and Gober ia votes.
For supreme court chief justice,
Hon. Thomas j. Simmons had no OPP
position, the same being true of Hon.
Hal Lewis in his race for the associate
justiceship.
While advices from all pdrts of the
state show that light vote was cast,
yet it was large enough to justify the
experiment and to show that the peo-
pie have SO taken the possession OF
the primary idea that they will not
readily give it up. In Floyd, Chat.
uhLly ltiCLiuOuu, SopO, huSCo6oc ohu
Fulton the vote was respectable in
size.
There were surprises in store also
for those who counted on sectionalism
as factor in the state campaigns.
Although Judge Fish is q south Geor'
gian, he lost number Of counties in
his section to Judge Gober, such q,
Miller, Clinch, Talbot and others
while Judge Gober, q north Georgian
lost to Judge Fish Chattooga, Gordon
Floyd, Ebert, Hart, and so on. This
elimination of sectionalism is one O
the best works accomplished by the
direct appeal to the people.
Judge Gober was given the hearty
support Of a large number of friends
all through the state, for which ht
must be appreciative, while the friends
of Jude Fish have proven by the ma
jority which they have piled up TO,
him, how strong their attachment was.
Hancock and Early counties were
holly contested, and it will take the
official vote to decide who will get the
delegations.

THE SITUATION At SANTIAGO
DESCRIBED IN DETAIL BY REAR
ADMIRAL SAMPSON.
HOW SPANISH FORTS ARE EQUIPPED
Hull of the Merrimac Does Not Totally
Block the Entrance to Santiago
Harbor.

Rear Admiral Sampson authorizes
The publication Of the following infor-
nation obtained from recon noisssnces
and from the Cubans:
Matters are quiet at Guantanamo
bay. The Spaniards are transporting
artillery to the town Of Guantanamo.
Sunday shell from the battleship
Oregon destroyed a railway car and
set warehouse on fire. A spy asserts
that the Spanish gunboat Sandoval
has been filed with straw and will be
destroyed if there is any danger of her
being captured.
The Spanish forces at Guantanamo
are vainly attempting to reach Santiago,
where nothing is known as to the situa-
ton at Guam tanamo, as the Cubans the
intervening territory.
General Garcia's forces are within
three days Of Santiago. They number
5000. The same number Of Cubans
are near Holguin. General Rabi is at
Acerradero, eighteen miles west of
Santiago, with $50 men, all we'll armed.
The battery at Castillo de la Socapa,
opposite Estrella, Santiago. has two
Hontoria guns, four Maxim .Norden-
feldt 57-millimeter guns and one gat-
ling 25-millimeter gun, all taken from
the Reina Mercedes. The battery at
Castillo del MORO has two Maxim
Nordenfeldt 75-millimeter guns taken
from the torpedo boat destroyer Ter
ror brought by Admiral Cervera. The
Punta Gorda has two Ordonez bronze
guns and one Hontoria. All these
batteries have also muzzle leaders.
The mines at the entrance are on the
Latimerclar system-two lines of seven
each. One line was fred at the Mer.
rimec, but without effect. The Merri-
mac cleared the line when she exploded.
One torpedo in the first line was also
fred at the Merrimao without striking
her. The mines contain 225 Kilograms
Of gun cotton, and there are some
Bustamente torpedoes.
The best information is that the hull
Of the Merrimac does not block the
channel, but lies to the right. Vessels
can pass without touching it.
During the bombardment on June
Sd Captain Harmon, second in command
on the cruiser Reina Mercedes, and five
men were killed by shell. Six were
wounded.
Lieutenant Hobson and his men are
now believed to have been taken up to
Santiago.

GARCIA GAVE ASSISTANCE.

Insurgents Rendered Valuable Service
In Landing of Our Troops.
In the landing of merican troops
on Cuba's shore, time and sea and
weather were propitious. The navy
and the. army co-operated splendidly,
and as tho big warships closed in on the
shore to pave the way for the approach
of the transports and then went back
again, three cheers for the navy went
up from 10000 throats on the troop
ships and three cheers for the army
rose from ship after ship as the troop
ships moved in to take their share in
t hazardous game. 1t was war, and
it was magnificent.
The Cuban insurgents, too, bore
their share in the enterprise honora-
bly, and we'll. Five thousand of them,
in mountain Businesses and dark thick
cts Of ravines, lay all night on their
guns, watching every road and noun
tain path leading from Santiago de
Cuba to Guantanamo. A thousand
Of them were within sight Of Baiquiri,
making the approach of the Spaniards
under cover of the darkness ON impos-

JUDGE ASKS COMPUTATION
or Fianagan's Death Sentence TO Life
imprisonment.

or Fianagan's Death Sentence to Life
imprisonment.
With the approval Of Judge John
s. Gambler an application has been
made to the Georgia prison commits.
sion for the Communication Of Edward
G. Fhnagan's death sentence to life
imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The application was fled by attor-
neys for Flanagan and the document
was accompanied by letters from Judge
Gambler and the county physician Of
Fulton county.
The petition for communication, after
reviewing the history of the case, states
that the attorneys do not not hope for
any other verdict in DeKalb county, as
they think every Juror in the county
has heard the shocking story Of the
killing Of Mrs. Allen and Miss Ruth
Slack.
They think Flanagan's mind is I'M
questionably unsound, aud say they
hope and believe that the application
will receive the favorable recommen-
dalton Of the Judge who tried Flana-
gan, the attorney general OF the state,
and the supreme court, and they ask
that the prison commission advise with
these officers, the solicitor general,
other officers connected with the case,
and the physicians who examined
Flanagan.
The petition sets forth that Flana-
gnn would receive good wholesome
food, hygienic treatment and skillful
medical attention in the penitentiary,
and that after q year or two there
would be no doubt as to his mental
condition. II found to be sane, he
could be tried on the indictment for
the murder of Miss Ruth Slack, and
il not sane he should not be hung.
The petition states that il it receives
favorable consideration, the motion
for new trial will be dismissed.

WANTED BOYNTON INDICTED.
Another Sensation in the Walker County,
Georgia, Court.

Another Sensation in the Walker County,
Georgia, Court.
Another sensation in the remarka-
BILE court proceedings at Lafayette,
Ga, developed when it became known
that the county commissioners had
asked the grand jury to indict General
H. v. Boynton, of the volunteer army,
for criminal libel.
The commissioners are greatly in
censed with the general for the strict
ures upon the county authorities con-
tanned in his letter to Governor
Atkinson. In this letter General
Boynton said that the county board
had licensed the blind tigers at Lyle
and in this way placed the burden of
responsibility for the shocking occur
rences upon it. The commissioners
held meeting and decided to present
the army officer to the grand jury.
The commissioners stated that they
had not issued any license and de-
manded that the general be prose
cuted for his statement to Governor
Atkinson.
This the grand jury refused to do.
The board will probably now make q
formal protest to General Boynton.

HOSPITAL SERVICE CONDEMNED,
Sad Lack Of Medical Facilities For the
Sick ut ChickamauEa.


Sick ut Chickamausa.
A special from Chiokamauga states
that the criminal lack OF consideration
shown for the sick soldiers at Camp
Thomas is causing a general condem-
nation Of the hospital service of the
war department. Soldiers who are
desperately i'll are neglected and it is
startling fact that an average of
more than four men die in the camp
each day.
Tho hospital facilities are entirely
inadequate and soldier who is unfor-
tunate enough to become sick with
some minor i'll has to suffer without
medical assistance. The medical de-
par tment of the army at Chickamauga
is being criticised by every unpreju-
diced observer.
Medical authorities who have inves-
tigated the working Of the medical de-
psrtment have been surprised and
shocked ut the treatment accorded the
sick. It is perhaps not the fault of
the surgeons, but OF the war depart
ment in Washington for not supplying
better accommodations for the sick
men, but it is stated to be certainly
true that man who becomes
seriously i'll at Camp Thomas has very
little to make him feel hopeful for q
long life. The surgeons who are in
charge at the various regimental head
quarters seem to be able and efficient
medical men, but they are not sup
ported by the higher authorities.
