ENDS A LONG STRUGGLE

Ensley, February 10.-(speciaI)-It is reported that citizens of Tuxedo, inter- ested in the proposed suit to test the con stitutionality of the act, annexing Tux edo to Ensley, have abandoned the plan to get out of the city limits by legal steps. 1t is understood that all the citizens of Tuxedo have practically decided to pay the licenses and taxes and have become thoroughly reconciled to being part and parcel of the Steel City.
 Some time ago a movement was begun by several citizens or Tuxedo to have proceedings filed in the courts, seeking to have the Tuxedo act declared invalid. The movement, however, met with much opposition and finally the citizens who were in favor of remaining a part of Ensley succeeded in persuading the citf- zens who were seking to get out of the city, to drop the case.
 During the past few days very nearly all the merchants and citizens in the annexed section have paid their licenses and taxes and it is understood are ready to pull together with the people of Ems Icy to make the Steel City the manufac- turing center of the south.
