no ouestlon as to the otlcer's duty. He
must nhev the statute which has been pro-
.00fii'nced constitutional by the courts OF
highest resort, both State and Federal.
This statute only authorizes him to give
receipt where the taxes are paid IN money,
and he cannot lawfully deliver the tax
payer a receipted tax bill until the money
IS paid. But in the more recent case OF
Poindexter us. Greenhow. ia United
Stat 8. page 270 the Supreme Court of the
United States has decided that where a
tax PAYER tenders genuine coupons and the
officer refuses to receive them and levies
upon the taxpayers property he is tres
passer ans werable in damages. And in
She case of Barry Us. Edmonds decided at
the last term of the Supreme Court of the
United States, the Jurisdiction of the Fed
eral courts 10 actions to recover damages
was affirmed, although the value Of the
property taken was alleged to be 1925.
This decision has been followed by the
Circuit Courts of the United States in
Virginia, and number OF judgments
rendered against treaSurerS upon YerdictS

The practical application of the princi-
pies decided show the ahsurdity of attempt
ing to reconcile the decisions IN the two
cases. Again, in the case of Greenhow vs.
Vashon, decided by the Supreme Court Of
Appeals Of Virginia, the Court held that
the act requiring all taxes assessed on
property, real and personal. and dedicated
to the'maintenance of the public schools
to be paid and COLLECTED only in lawful
money of the United States was constitu-
tional and valid. This decision stands
unreversed, and must govern tie officers
of the State in executing the law. The
officer cannot lawfully receive the coupons
for taxes assessed and dedicated to the
public schools, and cannot receive them
for other taxes in any other way than that
provided by the act of January IA. 1882,
above recited, and should be so advised.

taxes paid, and costs by suit in the Circuit
Court of the United States. under the de-
cfsions of the Supreme Court of the

TELEPHONE 70 HIGH LAND.

The SIaunton Board of Trade has thus
far taken no action relative to aiding the
establishment OF a telephone line to High
land. 1t is perhaps much more serious
matter than the Staunton merchants are
aware of. The town of Harrlsonburg wants
telephone line to Monterey. For some
years past there has been telegraph line
part of the way. that is to Bridgewater,
and it ia now proposed to throw that
ready built line in az a part Of the line
from Harrisonburg to Monterey. The
enterprisiug merchants of StauntOn who
now control the greater part of the High
land trade. and the W. Virginia trade
chat would first meet telephone line at
do for competitor for it to have exclusive
means of instant communication with
that section and thus keep always twenty
four hours ahead of StauntoD. A High
land man could send his order to Harri-
sonburg and have the goods half way back
to his town in the time it would take him
to get his letter to Stanton. It is a
matter of direct personal interest to our
staunton merchants, and we trust it will
meet prompt attention. We presume that
the present Telephone company III Staun-
ton would build line from here to
Highland if there were enough subscribers
to make it profitable. At all events there
is very little time to waste over the mat
ter. HarrisOnburg merchants, we hear
have made practical, tangible offer to
the company to build line to Monterey.
and Stanton merchants cannot afford to
be behind in the matter of their own
interest.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT

The successful introduction of the Elec-
trio light on the streets Of Stanton on
Monday night, was hailed by the people
with an enthusiasm partly. out not wholly
due, to the great Improvement that has
been wrought. There was more in those
rtjoic.Dgs than the meta appearance of bril-
liantly lighted streets; there was feeling
thing at least struck cut in new dlrec-
tOn-a step which it is believed is but the
forerunner of more steps yet to be made.
The people of Stanton ore live, enter
prislng people, and they have only lacked
sympathetic direction in the past to make
it evident. It has been paradoxical symp-
tom Of this town that % arly all the oppo-
sition to public improvement came from
large property owners. the very people
whose property these improvements make
more valuable. The theory that the taxes
for public nprovement5 come out of the
property owners is very deceptive one
The taxes come out of the people at large
who pay the rents, and not a capitalist
would invest dollar in property il he
didn't En0aD the fact that the rent would
pay back his taxes, repairs, and interest.
The property owners get the profit out of
public improvements IN town, and the
people get the additional comfort, and that
is about the whole story. If capitalists Can
be induced to open their eyes and build
a street railroad from the 3. & o. depot
to the Water Works, as some of them we
hope will soon do, the property owners
along the line will pretty soon fnd that
their holdings have advanced twenty-five
per cent. In value. while their tenants will
have the comfort of making the journey
down town more easily. Nosubstantial and
lasting pubic improvement was ever made
by q city in its corporate capacity. or by
its citizens IN their private capacity, that
it did not enure to the benefit of the
property owners,

shot dead at Glenwood, Rockbridge, some
three weeks since by Chas. Berry, his wife's

hanan. He had a revolver against her bosom
when her brother shot him through the head
DIR. Charles Henry Perrow, of Lovingston,

The Lynchburg papers announce the death
there of typhoid fever of Miss Annie E. Kin
near, daughter of James F. Kinnear, Cashier

Suit has been brought in the Allegheny

Mississippi Valley Co., claiming $40, 900 dam
ages for the killing of young Melton, a brake
man in the employ of this company, who was
killed near Millboro, several months ago.
