While this question is one in which
the decisions of the Supreme Court Of

our own Supreme court on the mort.

Other grounds Of objection made to

from insurance and it will be exempt
from the payment Of any OF their

this law exempts all such money from
taxation. that it Is contrary to the
constitutional provision of this state

are made 10 the form Of the bill upon
the ground that several SUBJECTS are

We are not given to the praise of
any one industry Of the city above
another but when we behold superior
merit in anything we like to acknowl-
edge it. Not feeling well last even
ing, we took little time off and made
a drive. In our rambles we visited
the cemetery and viewed the many
monumental tokens Of remembrance.
We naturally become interested in
the work Of our own home prOduc-
tions, and in making an inspection of
the different work, we found to be
true what so many have told US was
true of the work being put up by our
home company, the Penniwell Marble
Company, One specimen in particu-
lar, the j. R. Latta monument, is a
model piece Of workmanship Of the
Quincy granite, sarcophagus style,
the very embodiment Of stability,
beauty and durability. The Penni-
well Marble Company have just COM
pleted some Of the finest work we
have ever seen. The most delicate
carving adorns their work. The sta
bility of their work is very promi-
nent feature also. Work by foreign
companies which was put up at the
same time some Of the Pennlwell
work was, now forms a striking con-
trast to the unmarried work Of our
home company. Wherever Mr.. Pen
nlwell puts in a monument the grass
is carefully guarded from injury and
the lot put In good condition again
without any expense to the purchaser.
Such work deserves mention as well
as the earnest attention Of our citi-
zens. No one can fail to recognize
the superiority Of their work.

On the 23rd of July, 1891, petitions
were fled in the district court of An.
derS0n county for the bank of Gar.
nett, and also for five other banks in
that county. TO restrain the collection
OF several Thousand dollars in taxes.
1t was claimed by the plaintiff that
there had been a willful discrimina.
tiOn against bank stock: that bank
stock had been valued for assessment
at 30 per cent. of its actual value, and
that real estate and other property
had been valued for assessment at 25
per cent. of its value, thereby CON.
.pelling the banks Of Anderson county
to pay twice the amount on the same
value that other persons were requir.
ed to pay. These petitions we're pre-.
Sented to the district Judge and a re.
straining order asked to prevent the
sheriff Of Anderson county from col.
lecting the taxes so assessed, the
banks having offered to pay one half
of all the taxes. The district Judge
refused to grant such an order, and
from this the bank appealed to the
supreme court, where stay of pro.
ceedings were obtained. Last April
the supreme court decided that upon
payment of that part Of othe tax ad.
mitted to be legal an injunction
would lie to restrain the collection OF
the balance. The case was tried in
the district court Of Anderson county
this week and a decision rendered
yesterday. The district court held
that combination had been made
by the assessors In forming basis for
taxation to discriminate against the
owners Of bank stock, and granted
permanent injunction.
