Eant LaI<e Wants LIeensen.

The town of East Lake cannot col lect business licenses from the I.ouis- vile and Nashville Railroad for the years 1908 and 1905. according to an opinion rendered by Judge sem in the City Court today. Judge Senn held that there Is a defect in the ordinance un- der which the town attempted to col lect the privilege tax, and that it was not decision for the State courts to settle.
 The suit was brought by the town of East Lake for the purpose of fore- ing the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road to pay $200 for business license for the years 1904 and 1905, the ordi- nance fixing the license for railroads at s10o per year
 Answering the petition the railroad denied in single paragraph every allegation. Certain facts agreed upor by both parties were made part of the record, together with any number Of briefs,
 When the case was reached today, Judge Senn said that the ordinance simply referred to railroads doing business in East Lake and the State of. Alabama, without specifying that the roads must be engaged in the State in contradistinction to conducting bus mess in various States. Judge Senn held that any other verdict would be in direct conflict with the Interstate Commerce laws.

Capt. Hobson Opens Camuaign.

Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, who is opposing Congressman J. H. Bankhead for Congress in the Sixth District, has already taken up his cam paign. The primaries will be held in April and the campaign therefore prom ises to be warm one, as Captain Hob
 son will add some ginger to it. When the Executive Committee of the Sixth District met, Captain Hobson sent a request that the primaries be delayed until August 27th, the same date as the State primaries, but the request was not acqulesced in and an early date was accepted. Captain Hobson has not qualified, and cannot vote, but he claims that this does not operate against him in his canvass for the of- fee. His first work will be in the western part of the district. after which he will get into Tuscaloosa County and elsewhere. L. B. Musgrove will man. age Captain Hobson's campaign again. Captain Hobson has given up the lec- ture platform for a month or so.
