LETTER FROM FORMER
COUNTY ENGINEER
Camp Humphrey. Va.

Sunday, Sept. 29, 1918.
Dear Editor:
Just to let you good people know
that | am still in the good old U.S.A.
| am in the officers training school
at Camp Humphrey. Va. | am the
only boy from Mississippi and be-
lieve me, l would be glad to see
some one from the good old state,
for when you are among strangers
all the time, you get a bit lonesome.
When / left Grenada l was sent
10 Washington City for observation
and was there three weeks when l
received my appointment to attend
the training school at this place.
We don't have very much to do.
We get up at 5::4 a. m. and drill all
day and then study until 10 p. m.
When the lights go out. We have to
stay clean and we'll dressed at all
times. We are required to shave
twice daily and shine our shoes
every time a speck of dust lodges on
them and if you don't do this the re-
suits will be a plenty. The only time
that you have to do your writing is
on Sunday and then you may be put

of freedom flies away.
Camp life is great and is an edu-
cation for a young man within itself
and every loyal American should be
in the army to help win this war and
also it is the best training and ex-
perience that anyone can get.
We are we'll cared for in every
way and u superior officers take
the greatest pains in instructing us
in all lines of warfare, and if that
keeps up we will end this war on
July 4, 1919, for we r planning
to take the Kaiser's scalp on that day
for our celebration of the great
Fourth.
/ would be glad to hear from all
of my Grenada friends at any time,
for YOU cannot imagine how anyone
does appreciate home news until he
tries staying away for awhile.
l am, with best wishes,

which has provided consumer markets
at a minimum CT cost. All OF this
has enabled quantity production by

ROBERTSON EXPLAINS
INHERITANCE TAX
Assistant Attorney General Advises
Tax Commission 1t Is Not a
Tax On Property.

In an opinion rendered by Assist
ant Attorney General Frank Rober-
son at the request Of the State Tax
Commission. relative to the taxation
Of municipal, State Or other bonds.
the former said that:
Gan inheritance tax is not a tax
on property; and so long as the own
Ell of the property lived there would
be no inheritance tax imposed OF col
lected. 1t is an elementary principal
of law that the right to transfer
property at death to another person
is not a natural right but is one alto
gether conferred by law. AS an alb
stract right the State could absolute
" prohibit the transfer of property
by descent, bat could provide that
on the death of any property holder
that such property should go back
to the government. In these modern
times the exercise Of such a right by
the government would hardly be toll
Grated by the people.
"Chapter 1O9, Laws Of 1918, in
Section 1, imposes "a tax upon the
right to transfer; and Section 5 i'm
poses a tax on the right to receive.
The tax is not imposed on the prop
erty itself since it is not payable so
long as its wne may live, but the
Inheritance Tax Law imposes a tax
upon the two rights, namely-the
one to transfer and the other to re-
ceive. The amount Of the tax m
posed upon these rights is determined
by the value of the property. /
think, therefore. that it will be clear
that the inheritance tax is upon the
rights to transfer and receive prop
erty at the death of the then owner
and is not a tax upon the property
itself.
81, therefore, beg to advise you 1t
is my opinion that state, county. mu-
nicipal and United States bonds
would not be exempt from the pay
ment of an inheritance tax as i'm
posed by Chapter 100, Laws OF
1918"

tional Defense by refusing or neglect
ing to return their loyalty record"
We are not asking much when we
ask you to return this record prompt
ly and you should take pride in aiding
the Government to this extent.
Some are not doing this because of
their desire to hinder us and to help
the kaiser (small k, please).
Now, / have this to say: Unless
your record is in the office of the
council by Sunday night, the 14th OF
April, 1918, we are going to consider
the adyisability of publishing your

Furthermore, we will make up your
