ported that they had smallpox. A
newly.appointed young health officer

threaten to sue the county for dam

LeaSehOldS Can Be- Taxed.

The Supreme Court OF West Virgin
ia last week handed down a decision
in the case of the Harvey Coal and
Coke Company, OF Fayette county,
against Tax Commissioner @. W. Dill
Ion, upholding his ruling that lease
holds in coal lands, applying also to
oil and gas, were to be taxed sepa-
rately as chattels real.
The decision means that taxes must
be paid on $2OO,OOO,OOO worth of
property, owned largely by outside
corporations; therefore, it Is the most
far.reaching action affecting property
in the history Of the State.
The court holds that the new tax
laws are not in violation Of the Con-
stitution of the United States nor Of
the State Of West Virginia. These
were two principal points. The third
affects the writing or agreement be-
tween the parties. On this the Judge
held that this writing by which the
company leased from the owner coal
land for mining purposes, 10 cents
per ton royalty being paid Oh al coal
mined, constituted lease, chattel
real favorable to the lessee, and that
he is liable to be taxed upon 1t as a
property separate and apart from the
land taxed against d third party.
These leaseholds have never been
on the tax books, but now they will
be assessed, and the result will be
millions of dollars revenue annually.
It remains to be seen whether the
coal, oil and gas interests have the
right to appeal to the highest trlbu'
nal

The school year Just closed is one
of the best that Shepherd College has
ever had. The attendance was the
largest in the history of the school,
and include many teachers from the
interior counties who came here to
take the special work offered for their
particular benefit. The graduating
class was one of the very best that the
school has ever turned out, composed,
as il was, of bright, earnest, hard
working students. Principal J. G.
Knutti and his able corps of assistants
have reason to feel proud of their
year work, and our people general
ly should rejoice in the popularity
that has come to Shepherd College
and in the high standard that it has
attained. May its next year be still
better.
