ABOUT SPECIAL
STATE TAXES
ORDINARY DART REMINDS COR
PoRATioNs AND OTHERS
WHO ARE LIABLE.

There is so much new law with re-
gard TO the collection of special tax.
that great many people, liable for
the tax under the law, seem to be
confused, especially with regard 10
corporations. Some seem to thiak
because they have to register taeir
corporations with the secretary cf
the state state once a year, that they
are not liable for special taxes in the
counties in which they live. For
their benefit. we quote the forty -aftn
section OF the tax act, covering these
points:
Upon all corporations incorpora-
ted under The laws of Georgia shan.
in addition to all taxes now required
Of them by law be and they are here
G3 required each year to pay annual
license or corporation tax, as speci-
fed in the following scale:
"Corporations with capital not ex-
ceedlng SIS, 000. $500.
Corporations with capital oyer
$4,000 and not over 100000, SO 90.
Corporations with canitaI cyor
100000 and rot over 100000, $3.50.
Corporations with capital over
100000 and not over $$500J,
5000.
Corporations with capital over
100000 and not over 100000,
$500
Corporations with capital over
Sl.o000o0, $4,000"
The payment of this tax in any'Cre
county will relieve such corpofaN 'rs
from the payment of said tax in any
other county in which it does bust
ness
The ordinary desires to call atten-
ton again TO the fact that the law re-
quires the payment of special tax upon
all photographers, loan agents, alc-
tioneers. keepers of gaming tables,
keepers of ten pin or shooting CALLER
les or skating rink, vendors of patent
medicines, special rostrums, insurance
agents. lighting rod dealers, Shows
and exhibitions. circus companies,

at points on one common line, are the cause
OF earthquakes and activity of volcanoes;
and not the maximum pulling effect
of the sun and moon which he seems to
assume racks or strains the EARTH cracking
it!
Another like scientist, U. de Parvile, has
just published an article in support of
Perret s quilting effect.''
If they had preached magnetism and its
attracting force as the cause of their
pulling effect their theory would have
appeared more plausible.
When the earth as well as its atmos-
phere, is surcharged with electricity or
magnetism we may expect seismic action,
and, knowing when juxtaposition of sun
and moon land other celestial bodies),
with the earth, together on one side of
the earth, we, Ire Hicks, astrologer, Perret
and Parville may predict earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions, with much confidence.
Also, the Earring of the earth by heavy
cannonading eliminates its latent electric
ity into the atmosphere and produces vio-
lent storms and seismic disturbances, as
note the battles of Charlottesville and
Gettysburg and the whole To-day Atlanta
campaign.

OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
ENCE
Capable Revision of a Famous Political
Document That Instantly Appeals
to Freethinkers.
(By Harold Banning.)

When in the course of human progress
it becomes necessary for intelligent people
to break the ties of ignorance that have
bound them to an imaginary god, and to
assume, among the freethinkers of the
earth, the equal station to which the laws
of nature entitle them, a decent respect to
the opinions of believers requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them
to the separation. We hold these truths
to be self-evident: That all men are
brought into being by the laws of matter;
that they are endowed by Nature with
temporary life or consciousness; that this
consciousness ends at death, and that any
life beyond the grave is impossible. That
to confirm this doctrine we have only to
appeal to reason or common sense; that,
whenever any form of religion becomes de-
structive of these truths, it is the right of
the advanced thinkers to abolish it, and to
institute a new doctrine laying its founda-
ton on truth and logic. Prudence, indeed,
will dictate, that ideas so long established
should not be abolished for light and tran
scient causes and accordingly all expert
ence hath shown that mankind are more
disposed to believe while religions are suf-
