night for the regular dramatic season with play
called THE Mormon Wife" by Howard Hall and

TAX MANDAMUS
ANSWER IS READY
1t Will Likely be Filed in a
Few Days.
A NEW POINT DEVELOPED
No Appropriation Was Made Of the
Franchise Tax.
IT untur MAJOR tnAaarA AMntlAT
A NEW POINT DEVELOPED
IT WOULD RAISE AN IMMENSE AMOUNT
On The Franchise Valuation Named in the Petit
ton The Tax Would Almost Equal The
Present Entire Revenue of
The State.

The answer of the Corporation Com
mission in the taxation mandamus pro-
ceeding brought by Sheriff jackson, of
Washington county, and to be argued
here before Judge Robinson next week,
has been prepared by Chairman Mcneil
and submitted to the Attorney General
for approval.
That official says it will be filed with
in the next day or two.
An important new point is brought
out in the answer In proof of the Com
missions contention that the Legislature
did not intend for the franchise tax act
to go into effect at once, attention is di-
was made of the money that it is con-
tended it will raise. 1t is further argued
that instead of raising $1,0OS,000 revenue,
as the petitioner alleges, it would, on
the valuation named in the petition, raise
81 ,08O, 900. or almost as much as the pres
ent total revenue of the State from all
sources.
The answer argues that it would be
worse than foolish to contend that the
Legislature meant to raise such an
amount from the railroads or from any
treasury for two years.
This point the Commissioner and the
Attorney General consider a very strong
one as showing the purpose and intent
of the Legislature.

MORGAN's GREAT COAL DEAL.
His Agents Are Now at Work in West Vir-
ginia.
(By the Associated Press.)


Roanoke, Va. Sept. 11.-West Virginia
is on the eve of a big coal deal. Some
time ago the initial move was made by
the purchase of all the coal operations
on Kanawha River. 1t is said j. P. Nor
gan was behind it, and that the drafts
for the purchase money bore his sigma
ture..
Hardly had that deal been consum-
mated before it was announced that the
Flat Top field had been purchased by the
same or allied interests. Today all the
New River territory is agog. Messrs.
Chiffon, McCorkle and Chiffon, repre-
senting New York capital, have for the
past week been quietly at work, and it
now turns out that there is not coal
corporation on New River, on which there
is not. twenty day option of purchase.
Whether or not the purchase VIII De
made will probably be definitely settled
tomorrow as at that time present options
will expire, and it will require deposit
of twenty thousand dollars to renew.

that industry an impossibility in North

''Mr. D. A. Cobell, of North Carolina,

day with a view to getting information
in regard to the advantages of Virginia
as a sheep-raising State. The Commits
sioner gave his visitor full information
on this subject and most favorably i'm

Mr. E. L.. Middleton, who represents B.

great injustice.
There are no complaints against them,
save the one in regard to an exchange of
bockg in Asheville. That was caused by
the action of the book seller there and
without any authority or Instructions
from us. In fact, we have instructed him
just to the contrary. Beyond this, the
State Superintendent tells me, there have
been no complaints of Johnson {, Co.
I'VE have now 210 regularly author
lied repositories in the State and there
are some fifteen other places where our
books are on sale, making 225 in ALL They
are in every county except four AID they
will be in those in a few days. Before
we stop we shall have about $50 places in
the State at which our books can DE pIr-
chased or exchanged-an average OF
about two and half de.ostories TO each
