 Mercantile corporations are re- 3uired to enlist their entire stock of merchandise at its fair value, as other merchants.
 Merchants, in the assessment of .heir goods, have no right to deduct what they may owe.
 You speak of merchant who owns cotton, about 2,000 bales. It Is your duty to assess it, notwithstand- ing he may have borrowed the mon ey with which he bought it.
 All property of telephone compa- nies in your county should be as sessed by you.
 The real and personal property of telegraph companies within your county, excepting their lines, should be assessed by you. This means, of course, the real property they own, and their office fixtures, furniture, etc, in your county.
 The depots, etc, of railroad com- panies in our state are made the subject of taxation by the railroad commissioners, the governor, audit or and secretary of state. You would not therefore be authorized to assess them.
