the fact that his success In the circuit
and supreme courts has been marvellous
ana stands prs-emlnent az compared
with the work OF the several other able
members Of the Harrison county bar
In truth. the position he occupies In
the profession is much higher than
the average and there is not lawyer
In Harrison county who has not the
greatest regard for his KNOWLEDGE of
law. and an admiration OF his prosecu-
ton OF cases. He is a gentleman OF
much experience also in legislation and
public affairs, serving with much dis
unction as legislator from this county
IN 1885 and 1913. He has also served
this county as prosecuting attorney,
holding that office In 1ss5-9O and 1888
81, and as such faithfully and Impair
TALLY discharged his duties. When he
ran for prosecuting attorney the first
time he was the only man elected on
the Republican ticket. At other times
when before the people as a capdldate
he received handsome majorlties and
never met with defeat
The press generally throughout the
district have suggested Mr.. Lynch as
the proper person to elect supreme
judge from this district, and is efful-
gent in its praises OF his eminent 1T
ness for the place. Since the mention
of his name in connection with the
judgship he has received numerous let
ters from prominent and leading Re-
publlcans OF the state urging him to
become candidate, and every per-
suasIon is being brought to bear upon
him. He Informs us, after n careful
consideration Of the matter, that he is
not ayerse to serving the party and
state in that capacity, II 1t be the Will
OF the people.
The Telegram, vOicing the sentiments
OF the people OF this county, feels that
further commendatory word OF Mr..
Lynch is not out Of order. He Is emil
nelly fitted for the place, on account Of
his natural judicial mind and his high
legal attachments acquired through
years Of practice. close application and
assiduous study, and deserves the high
est encomlum our pen is capable Of. In
short, the state can make no better Sc
lection for membership in the court of
last resort.

Editor OF The Times:
Si-,-In regard to your editorial in Sat
urdayS issue on Judge WhiCGa's decision
in he Lynchburg tax case, it seems TO
have been n.Scancetved, as l have gotten
from The reported text Of his order deny
ing the writ Of mandamus. I quote from
your editorial as follows: We believe IN
local .i-governmenr, but there are Ger
tan great principles Of government to
which every cl5y and county il the State
should be made 10 conform, and THIS queS-
ton of taxation IS one OF them. We do
not believe that any clty'or county should
be permitted to tax one man and TO eX-
empt another man, in the same line OF
business, from taxation
Now. in the order referred to, The Judge
used this language:
IN Is admitted mat each OF the corpora
tons and tho frLa5 exempted from IL
cAns. FAX are the only ones engaged in
tl1a5 particular line OF manufacture
In other words, as [ understand Judge
Whitt!ers position, it IS this: That the
legislature had authorized the city OF
Iynch5ure 10 impose either = license or a
direct tax OF manufactures, and that the
CITY Council had elected to deal with
manufacturers by the former rather than
bv the latter mode; and, having done So i
was competent for them, as q mater OF
po.fcy, 10 determine what tax, if any. they
would impose on certain classes OF manu-
features, OF course applying the same rule
TO all OF The classes involved To Illus
trate. tho Council might have said, We
VIII impose a license tax Of $500 on every
practicing attorney in rhe city; or we WI
exact no license TAX from lawyers. OF
course, to lax some and exempt others Of
the same class would be both unjust and
Illegal. 1t is q great constitutional cues
ton affecting al the people OF tn-s state,
1t IS of first impression, ard am gao q
hear that the case VII pc aPpsates. !, !
know your fairness, and take the liberty OF
