GBy Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot.)
Atlanta. Ga, Nov. 27.-rhe Supreme
Court of Georgia to-day handed down
an important decision affecting not
only the war stamp tax, but involving
question of state rights.
The point involved was whether or
not n lease contract which did not bear
the special stamp required by act of
congress is admissible as evidence. The
Supreme Court ruled that congress,
While it has the right to levy taxes
through stamp act such as was pass
ed by congress, has not the right TO
prescribe rules of evidence for state
courts which would be conceded if a
document not bearing n federal stamp
was denied admission as evidence.
The court. in the decision rendered
by Chief Justice Simmons, goes on to
say that under our system of govern
ment the states retained all powers of
sovereignty which We're not granted to

tuition.

The anti-British feeling in Cape

that the Dutch congress next week
