MO0re'S Tax Plan Out

Richmond, Va, July 15.-State
Auditor @. Lee Moore today made
public his plan for segregation of the
subjects of taxation. He has been al
work on the matter for many months,
and has evolved a system he thinks
would, if adopted, give the State suf
ficient money from taxes on railroad:
and other public servicecorporations
and from increases on intangible per
sonal property, to maintain the cen
trail government and educational ant
eleemosynary institutions, released
local real and personal property taxes
to the counties and cities.
The material is presented in thu
greatest detail, accompanied by tabu
latiOns of figures. 1t is the desire O
the Auditor that the people study hi.

Samuel ". Williams, Soldier
Statesman.

The Democrats will be called
ON at the coming Primary August
5th to vote for a nominee for At
torney General. Williams was
reared ON the farm, and educated
in the common schools OF that
day. AS a young man he entered
the Confederate Army and fought
through the entire war for the
principals of the Southern Con-
federacy. In politics he IS a
democrat and has spent much OF
his time on the stump for the
democratic party. The people
elected him as Attorney General
OF the State, and as such he has
made good, as he did as soldier
and democrat, therefore he is en-
titled to another term.
Let the OLD SOLDIERS re-
member him on August 5th. Let
the Democrats reward him agar
for his party service, by so dong
they will make no mistake.

Mr.. Fryan's Peace Plan.

Universal peace, produced by Inc
settlement through International trl-
bunals of questions formerly decided
by the sword, may still be long way
off, but it can no longer re derided as
merely an iridescent dream. When ~
nations, and the most powerful in the
world, have accepted the general prin-
ciple of Mr.. Brvan's peace plan, even
the cynic and the pessimist must ad
NIT that we are at least making q
definite approach to the long desired
goal. The agreement upon details
will, OF course, be the difficult part OF
the arrangement, but the principle OF
investig alton being accepted. there
will be a disposition to adjust rather
than to emphasize minor objections.
The proposal to maintain the status
quo as to military and naval prepare
tions among disputants during the in
vestigation of international differ
erces is feature of the plan that
will strongly recommend it to the pro
ducers and taxpayers of the world, it
not to men of war. Whether it should
not go further and provide for gen.
eral halt ON the part of all great pow
ers in warlike preparations when two
of them were having their differences
settled may be worth considering. But
what q relief even a temporary AND
partial suspension of the war tax
would be to the great masses OF the
people in such countries as Great
Britain and Germany, for instance
And after the people once got taste
of this relief, would they not be apt
to clamor for more and more of it,
until the war system had been reduced
to a minimum
If Mr.. Bryan can succeed in secur-
ing the adoption of his plan even in a
modified form, the world will call hir'
blessed from generation to generation
But, as q matter Of justice, MIR. Taft's
name should be coupled with this
movement for the promotion of peace
on arth and good will among men.
His earnest efforts to secure arbitrG-
ton of International controversies
through treaty agreements kept the
subject to the front. and though he
failed in reaching the object in the
way which he proposed, he helped to

make it q vital issue.-BdHo Sun.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

A tribute of respect by Mt.
Zion Sunday School to the be.
reaved family of George Windle.
June 7th, 1913, just as the sun
was peeping oyer the eastern
horizon, the death angel came
into the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Windle and claimed for
his own their little daughter,
Ina, who was sick but a short
time from membranous Group.
Ina was a bright and modest lit
tie girl of nine summers, a mem
Der of Mt. Zion Sunday School.
The sudden death of Ina has
brought a gloom of sadness upon
the entire Sunday School and
particularly upon her teacher,
and the members of her class to
have her name so suddenly trans
ferred from the Sunday School
register to the register of the
redeemed in Heaven.
1st. Be it resolved that we
submit to the wisdom of God,
who saw best to do this and in
our sadness we extend our sim
cere sympathy to the bereaved
family.
End. Resolved that same be
spread on the minutes of the
Sunday School register, and a
copy be sent the parents of our
departed member.

There seem to be two important
factors in this physical improvement
We live under better hygienic condi-

Old-fashioned homes may have been
romantic. and even comfortable, but
they were less healthful than modern
homes occupied by families OF the

water, ventilation, sanitary plumbing
and garbage disposal work wonders in
keeping strong people we'll, and In

What Has Become of the Young
Girl :?

From the Pictorial Review for Augusta
This is straight -from-the- shoulder
talk to the fathers of young girls. v 6
hope mothers will read it also. but v q
want them to pass it on to their hus-
bands without fail. The American
father needs jolt. And this is a jolt
handed from one father to another.
We are not given to depl ring the
passing of ''the good old days" We
believe that many decayed and useless
customs have been cast aside, and
that today carries much to admire ard
r.joice over. But we have made .
mistake in letting our girls grow up
too fast. There is neither meekness
nor shadow in the eyes of Miss Six
teen today. Neither is she exactly
what you call "sweet." She is "smart''
and amusing, but she does not bring
q tremulous smile to the lips of old
age nor fill the hearts of men, youn
and old, with the fine old desire to
protect and screen her from all that
might hurt or contaminate. Her eyes
invite and challenge. Her bearing
announces an independence that is too
s,sertive. There is nothing reluctant
SPOUT her feet. Rather they press
eagerly toward the dress, manners,
customs and pleasures designed for
those who have plucked ripe fruit
from the Tree OF Kno ylt dge.
We men are proud of this new girls
spirit. OF her achievements IA the
