a diapatch Irony Atlanta, Ca., quot
ing a letter from Col. Marry D.•Cal
houn. of Barnwell, relative to a Con-
federate h«nd owned by one Abner
l^e Squ’PKin , <, of Ma^ai husotta.
The value of the bond anil a'Trued
interest is SquiKtfinr, not
lonK au<*. addressed a letter to Presi
dent Jefferson Davis demanding
payment thereof. The Attorney
General of Georgia promptly sent
him $800 in Confederate money.
This, it seems to us, should have
closed the matter. Had the Con
federacy won its just ri,?ht, the
bond would have been redeemed at
its face value in money that would
have passed even in Massachusetts.
As we see it, there is no moral no
legal obligation on the part of any
Southern State to pay in United
States money a bond issued during
the days of the Confederacy..
Col. Calhoun is right, however, in
offering to contribute to the needs
of Squiggins if he is in destitute cir
cumstances. The people of the
Unted States have contributed to
the relief cf the Belgians and other
destitute peoples ofTiTrope and cer
tainly the people of one section of
this great country jnay contribute
to the destitute of another section,
hot It should be regarded purely as
charity. We do not even know that

If a tax ho placed on sales of soft
drinks, tobacco products and other
luxuries and the .sellers thereof fail
to pass the tax on to the consumers,
it will bo the first time in history
that sellers have been so generous
or so little able to take care of them
selves. ^

recent years, we have some of them
now—does any buyer imagine that
