Hds" Assistant Attorney General Tow

Bd5~ Assistant Attorney General Town
send has given Comptroller Gen. Ellerbe,
an elaborate and able opinion 10 the case
Of the application Of the Newberry Cotton
Mill for refunding Of the tax paid by that
Mill under the law Of 1873 exempting
manufactures from taxation for period of
10 years. We have not room for the whole
opinien, nor would it be very interesting
reading to our readers, but the Columbia
Correspondent Of the News and Courier,
introduces it to the readers Of that papcr
thus:
"The case briefly stated is that the New
berry Mills were incorporated under the
Act Of 1873, which provided for its ercmp-
ton from taxation for period Of ten years.
BY Act ofthe Legislature in 1882 this Act
was repealed, hence all the trouble. The
opinion OF Mr.. Townsend, which is in favor
OF the mills, is full, plain and minute in do.
tail, and rehearses the status ofthe case from
the passage Of the Act Of 1873 10 the present
disposition"
