Unwilling to Paw Lew

At the meeting of the Board of Su-
perylsors. Saturday, committee
of Waynesboro business men ap
peared- before the board to re-
quest them to change the tax levy
against that town, but the board re
fused to recede from its position At
torney R. w. Gre Hder was the spokes
man, and the other gentlemen present
were Meesrs. ]. F. Templeton. j. A.
Patterson, W. J. 10th and R. &.
Vance,
The charter of Waynesboro exempts
the residents from payment of any tax
for county purposes, just as Staun-
ton s charter exempts the people of
Staunton from the payment of any
county tax, but under an agreement
| with the board of supervisors Waynes
boro has been paying for great many
years cents on the 100 dollars In con
sideration of the county's cafe for the
poor of Waynesboro.
But the supervisors have at last
reached the conclusion that, as Way
nesboro has the benefit at the county
court and all other county utilities, it
was proper that she should pay the
regular county tax, and thisyear levied
a tax of Soc. on the one hundred dol
lars on the people of Waynesboro
They have refused the payment and
made tender to the treasurer of the
Irregular &c. On the 100 which they had
been paying He refused to accept it
and according to an understanding
had Saturday with the board and the
Representatives of Waynesboro, he
will levy on same ones property il
that place for the tax, and test
case will be made for final adjudica
ton IN the court of appeals.
The question came up at this time
by reason of the construction of tn,
new court house. for which the super
Ivi thought Wayuesboro should
lip ,roportionately. Her representa-
l. ,sterday offered to compromise
s! .ying her share for the court h0us'
a ii after that was paid then paying
regularly 10c. Oh the hundred dollars
but the board refused to make any
tcompromise: feeling that the matte
fought to be adjudicated.

Giles 3. Jackson to Defend Constitution.

| The Richmond News publishes the
f blowing interviewswith Giles B. Jack
son, the coiored lawyer of Richmond,
who is assisting in defending the new
Virginia constitution from the attacks
Wise nd .'Jim Hayes" =
1.-THE exclusive publication in The
Richmond News of yesterday in regard
to my being retained to defend the best
element of negroes ard to support the
new constitution was correct, said
Giles B. jackson, the colored lawye =,
this morning.
81 was IN the city Of Washington a
few days ago on private business, and
while at my hotel was called upon by
a committee of eight persons, repre-
senting an organization in this State,
and asked to appear in opposition to
the pretenses and claims made by
certain Jim Hayes, of this city. 1 have
consented to appear. and will do so.
81 will say, in addition, that the
committee which waited upon me was
composed of representative negroes.
They heard what l had to say about
the matter, and unanimously agreed
with me that the best way to improve
the condition of the negro was to sup
port what was for the good of the
whites. If measure is good for the
white people. who pay practically all
the taxes and who own all the prop
.erty, then the negroes will certainly
benefit by it.
s.This thing was not forced on me.
nor is it of my seeking. The commit
tee called upon me, stated the object
of the call, and as it was in line with
my own views and nv services prOfes.
sionally were asked, as lawyer, con-
scented to take the case, and 1 propose.
with the help OF God, and the good
men of the colored race. to give Jim
Hayes the time of his life. J
II was out in jackson ward last
evening, and was surprised to find that
the best element of the negroes in that |
ward were standing behind me in a
manner that was gratifying. The
business men, the property owners and
The most intelligent men of the ward
endorse the position taken by the COM
mittee at Washington. Whatever
may be said by those who are opposed
to the proposition, you will find that
the white men, the truest friends. of
the negro, will win, and those of my
own race who support the movement
will be the first ones to profit by the
final disposition of the case. When
ever there is any reason to defend the
negroes / will do my part, andI be-
lieve that am acting for the good of
the race in this instance
Giles las already commenced to pre-
pare for the case, and says he does not
propose to follow the example of "cer-
tain lawyer and give away all the
points in the case before it is heard.
He promises to surprise the opposition
when he appears in court.
