A BIG SUIT
Filed In Chancery Here This
Morning.
Munday, McTighe g. Co. Sue the L. & N.
Railroad Company for $93,317.5l
for Building the Mineral Road.

Munday, McTighe & Co., through
their attorneys, Leech & Savage,
filed a bill in Chancery court to day
for the purpose of collecting $83, 3l7 so
claimed to be due them by the l.. &
N. railroad for building the Clarks-
vile Mineral road. There has never
been a final settlement between the
contractors and the company for
building the Clarksville Mineral, the
difference being in the form of esti-
mates. Munday, McTighe & Co.
claim that the estimates turned in
by the engineer in charge of the
work were too low. The railroad
company, on the other hand, claim
that the estimates were correct,
Thus the matter has stood for several
weeks and it now goes to the courts
for adjustment. it is by far the
heaviest railroad suit that has been
filed, of recent years, in the Chancery
court of this county and will attract
widespread attention when it comes
to a trial.

HANCOCK WAREHOUSE.
Hancock, withers a Co. Open Their Doors
to the Tobacco Trade.

We are much gratified to see the
old reliable-our esteemed fellow
toWnsman, T. r.. Hancock-again
setting up in business, as was mem
toned 10 yesterdays LEAF-CHRoNI-
Gle in noticing the organization of
the new warehouse firm of Hancock,
Withers & Co., who are to occupy the
old or lower Central house under the
new name OF Hancock Warehouse.
Mr.. Hancock has been connected
with the tobacco trade twenty-five
years or more, and his name in that
connection is symbolic of all that
is honorable and upright in trade; a
just man, skilled and experienced in
the business, and an expert judge Of
the quality of tobacco, its uses, ETC.,
and withal a good salesman and an
excellent gentleman, who enjoys the
confidence of both buyers and sellers
in this market. Mr.. Hancock suf
fered greatly from the misfortunes
that overlook the trade last year, but
in no way was he to blame for the
disaster, and this fact, in connection
with his honorable course and gen
eral worth, makes everybody rejoice
to see him re established in business.
r. B. Withers also has many years
experience in the tobacco business,
and is one of the best hustlers in the
market, who has a wide acquain.
lance and many friends that will
come to the support of the new
house
Ben c. Boyd is well-tO,do farmer
of Howell, KY, man of popularity
and influence in the community and
good tobacconist, having served
most acceptably as inspector on the
Hopkinsville market, and every one
will join in commencing him as
good man.
The new firm will have ample
means for conducting safe,
conservative business, as it pro-
poses to do, and has before
it a bright future, and will build up
and increase from year to year, as
Mr.. Hancock did at the head of the
firm that first established the Peo-
pies Warehouse. 1t was first decid.
ed to operate under the name of Cum.
berland House, but since ascertain
ing that Mr.. McKeage has that name
for his factory, a change was found
necessary to avoid complications,
and they have taken the name of the
Hancock Warehouse.

The Poll Tax Qualification.

The poll tax qualification for vot.
ing is the subject of lively discussion
in legal circles to-day. 1t is a new
precedent in city elections, and there
is much conflict of opinion as regards
the literal meaning of the law. The
constitution reads "poll taxes" and
the Legislature says "poll tax" and
it is question whether voters will
be required to pay the State, county
and city polls or simply the city
poll tax. Another difference is in
reference to the "year next preced-
ing the election" whether this
means the calendar year or tax year,
dating from the time the taxes are
due or assessed. The law reads IA
qualified voter under the constitu.
ton and law shall, as condition
precedent to the exercise of voting,
furnish to the judges of the election
satisfactory evidence that he has paid
the poll tax, fanny is assessed against
him, for the year next proceeding
the election" The amendment or
explanatory act of the extra session
says, "voting in State, county or
municipal elections The code
says all persons on the 10th Of Janu
airy who own property, ETC., are
liable to assessment.
The city election takes place on the
10th of January, and it appears that
all persons living in the city on the
10th or previous to the 10th of Jan
uary, 1892, and under fifty years of
age, are liable to the poll tax qualifica-
ton and will have to pay State,
county and city taxes before voting
in the municipal election on the 10th
of January, 1892. This was the de.
cisinn of the authorities as we under
stand in the late Nashville election.
However this question will be up at
the next meeting of the city board
when the city attorney will render a
legal opinion on The question.
