SEIZED DlSPBNSARY WHISKEY
SHERIFF CHRISTIE HAS EIGHT
BARRELS OFITIN HIS CHARGE.
Levy Made Under Fifa for State
License. Commissioners Say
They Are Not Subject

Another legal problem has grown
outof the establishment of dispensaries
Terrell county, and, like the others, it
will be settled by the courts.
Tax Collector Thornton has issued a
fila against the dispensary commission
ers for $3.50 as state license for selling
liquors at Dawson, Brentwood and Sas-
ser, and under this fila Sheriff Christie
has levied upon eight barrels of whis-
key in the Dawson dIspensary.
The dispensary commission ers claim
that under the law establishing dis
pensaries in Terrell county the sta tie
cannot collect the special license tax,
and through their attorney, Colonel J..
Il. Parks, have filed a bill of illeg ALT Y,
which will be tried in the su periOr
court.
The dispensary commissioners had
been anticipating this action for some
time, and while in Atlanta few DAYS
ago Colonel Parks had a consul
tatiOn with Comptroller Wright, under
whose direction the fila was issued, in
re gard to the matter. Mr.. Wright
told Colonel Parks that it was his opin-
ion, as well as that of Attorney Grner-
al Terrell, that the dispensarles wer e
not subject to the license, but that I'M
der ruling of former Attorney ecu
| eral Anderson he had been collecting
the license from other dispensaries
in the state, and that he could not now
do otherwise than press the collection
of the license against the Terrell coun-
ty dispensaries.
The question that has been raised
will go through the courts, and it win
be some time before the Terrell county
dispensaries pay the state license, if
at all.
