Ensley, March 20.-(speciaL)-A clash
seems to be imminent between the JEFF
ferson county tax collector and the city
tax collector of Ensley In the matter of
collecting taxes in that section of Ensley
which is In dispute. The city court of
Birmingham in suit brought by Nc
Williams and others decided that the city
of Ensley has no jurisdiction in that ter
ritory annexed under an act of the last
legislature
This annexed territory includes large
section of the city and the taxes amount
to quite a sum. Several days ago the
county tax collector announced that when
the time came he would proceed to col
leet taxes in this territory The time for
collecting these taxes by the county Of
fieials begins April l.
already begun the collection of the city
taxes for this year and many in this dis
puted territory are paying the taxes re-
quired by the city. Mr. Fonville announces
that he will proceed with the collection
of all the taxes in this section.
The city officials claim that by virtue
of the case having been appealed to the
supreme court they still have jurisdic-
ton in the annexed territory and 1t Is
on this ground that the tax collector will
proceed with the collection of all taxes
in this section.

!, It was by his fathers death In April,

TO the dukedom and estates Of Argyll.
At the opening Of the session Of lsls he
went up to town and took his seat In the
House Of Lords a. Baron Sundridge the
English barony above referred to, which
had been conferred on his grandfather.
This, We repeat, was the formal title by

there was no man In the House aRainst

George Douglas Campbell was. born on
April 80, 1928, in an unimposing country
house which had been built on the site Of
the old Castle OF Ardencaple, and COM
mands a view of the estuary Of the Clyde.
His father, who. during the lifetime Of his
elder brother, the sixth Duke, was not the
posaessor Of a large income. had married
for his second wife Mise Joan Glassel, Of
Lowland stock, whose father had bought In
East Lothian a small landed estate yielding
an income OF rather more than E1,50o
q year. John Glassel's wife, however, our
authors maternal grandmother, was a
Miss Brown, whose sister married the ninth
Earl of Dalhousie, and through whom the
great Marquis OF Dalhousie, Governor-Gen-
sral OF India, wa a cousin OF the eighth Duke
Of Argyll. The boy George was but five
years old when he lost his mother, and
therefore could retain Of her only a few
scattered recollections. Two years later
his father married for his third wife the
widow Of the medical man who attended his
second wife in her last illness. She was one
of the Cuninghames Of C~raigends. a family
descended from the Earls Of Glencairn.

exception, as to it's immense superiority
to any other buildings in the world. The
exception Is intended to refer to Venice
and especially to the Doge's Palace and
the Church of st. Marc. Yet Of all Italian
cities taken as wholes, the one which struck
the young Scottish visitor as tho most
beautiful was Verona, with the Adige

valley which gave access to Teutonio inz

had not yet dawned In 1s4s to tell bis

projects considerably at the end. His
