You dread my hand when white and cold,
w hen death has closed my eyes!
VIII mine be then forbdding lips
Because the silence lies
So heavily upon Your heart?
All passing sad 'twere so!
Stay, stay your tears and speak to me,
For | shall surrey know,
And at the daybreak | shall come
And touch your face in sleep,
And breathe "a thought around your soul
So tenderly, so deep,
Like unto music it shall be,
Though you no sound shall hear,
Yet IN your dreaming you will smile,
And know that / am near.

PROSPERITY OF GEORGIA
Indicated in Reports to Comptroller
General by Tax Collectors in Va
rious Sections of the State.

AS an indication of the general
prosperity which is prevalent through
out Georgia, and which, il appears,
is on the constant increase, Comptrcl-
Ter General W. A. Wright is rece!v-
ing letters almost daily from tax Coz
lectors in various sections of the
state, in which they tell him that
the property returns for taxation this
year will show an increase equs!
practically to the almost unprecedeG,
ted increase shown by the returns Of
last year.
1t is regarded as little short of mar
velous that Georgia should show an
increase of more than forty millions
in property returns two years in sue
cassion, but the indications are that
this is coming again when the 1906
digests are examined, and this will
mean that the total taxable valuations
in Georgia will be carriad away over
the $6O0,O00,O00 mark
The total property returns for 1901
were $530,000,000 In 1905 they jump
ed up to $577, 100000, showing an ir-
crease of $S7,O0O,OOO in general prop.
erty returns and $1O,00OOO0 in corpo-
ration returns. Another increase like
that of 1905 and the total returns of
taxable property in Georgia will be
carried up close to 1925, 100000.
And in the event that 1907 should
show similar results, Georgia would
return in her taxable values to the
high tide which she knew before the
civil war, when, with all the slaves,
the highest total reached was near
$G75, 100000.
There will be an increase this year
in the returns of corporations amount
ing to 100000 or $5,00O,000. The
total returns Of corporation property
in 1906 were $83,OO0,O0O in round
numbers. This year the total from
corporations will be about $88,000.-
900. The value of Georgia's corpo-
ration property is getting close tc
the one hundred million mark, cr
about one-sixth Of the total taxable
property of the state.
This years increase in the corp3-
ration returns will be secured by the
comptroller general, it appears now,
without a single arbitration, Where
he thought the returns too small, he
has simply so Indicated and as the
result of conferences with officials
Of the companies interested he has
secured practically all he has asked
for. In addition, there has been some
new railroad mileage returned, par
ticularly that of the Louisville and
Nashville, between Gainesville ana
the Tennessee lines, and also The
new mileage constructed by the At
lantic and Birmingham Railroad com
pany.
