DOESN'T AFFECT TERRELL.
The County Has Alw avs Paid Tax
On Its DispenSaries.

Attorney General Hart rendered an
important legal opinion Thursday, in
which he holds that dispensary
where liquors are sold stands under
the law on the same footing with any
other establishment the business of
which is to keep and sell liquor, and
that as such the several dispensaries
doing business in the state, whether
operated by city or county, must
pay taxes to the state.
The opinion of the attorney general
will not affect Terrell county, as the
dispensaries here have always paid the
state tax.
