Tax Collection Enjoined.

There is one town in Georgia in which only death is sure taxes has been cut out of it for the present at least.
 About a year ago some of the citizens of Jackson, Ga, Butts county, decided that the tax levy by the town council was unjustly and extravagantly high, and instead of paying it they went into court and secured an injunction against it's collection.
 The court granted temporary restrain ing order under which the property own CTS were at liberty to pay their taxes or not as they pleased More than half of them paid up, so the town had enough money to make tine mare go. But the others are still fighting.
 An auditor appointed by the court to take testimony in the case mas just fin ished his work and will soon made re- pert to the court. Upon this the court will find whether the tax rate is or Is not justi1abe After that the case will have to go to the supreme court for the March term, and it will be sometime next summer before it is determined just to what extent Jackson can collect it's 1907 taxes.

slnce been settled, the waterworks sys- tenn is in full swing and only the litiSa- ton over the taxes remains. The two fac tions have come together and are now at work trying to build up the town. The restoration of amicable relations was re- sponsible for the majority of the property owners paying their taxes despite the fact that they didn't have to unul the litigation was concluded.
 Fight on Tenderoin.
 Two grand juries have adjourned With out putting into execution their emphatic and oft repeated threats of scattering the denizens of Atlanta's tenderloin dis trict, although the last one whose term expired yesterday had promised to indict the owners of the property as well as the occupants, unless the scattering took place.
 This grand jury gave the police depart nlent 50 days to work out tine scattering process and clean out the district. After thinking over it for 30 days, the police commission went back to the grand jury said 1t was out of the question and re- fused to do it. As the 60-day limit Is not up until January 21, the grand jury de- cided it would take no action further than to recommend to the grand jury which will meet next month, to carry out the threats which it's predecessors have made unless their requirements are compiled with.
 So the whole thing remains up in the air with nothing definite determined upon. The object of the war upon this locality is to drive it's inhabitants away from the Washington street viaduct at one end of which stands the boys high school and the new auditorium, and at the other the girls high school, the state capitol and several churches. The houses In question are all underneath the viaduct, but it is the fact that they are there though practically invisible from the top of the bridge that is said to have made this expensive structure connecting the north and south sides of the city more of an ornament than useful lnstitu- tion

Legislative Contests.

Contests are gradually being eliminated from the new general assembly which will meet in June. There is only one of any consequence now remaining, the fight ever the speakership which is three-cor- nered, but may grow still narrower.
 The withdrawal of Senator w. H. Bur well of Hancock county from the race for president of the senate left an unhindered field to former Speaker John M. Slaton now senator from the 35th, and unless there is a slip between now and assem- bling, he will preside over the delibera- tons of the senate.
 Clerk John T. Boifeuillet of the house of representatives and Secretary c. s. Northen of the senate will, apparently, return to those positions unopposed Their friends assert that they have more than enough pledges to elect them, and that any opposition would be futile.
 Of course there will be the usual mum her of applicants and contestants for the minor positions of doorkeeper, ser geant at arms and other subordinate po- sitions, but there is no very great ac- tivity in this direction just present. Representatives J. Randolph Anderson of Chatham, Roland Ellis of Bibb and Jchn N. Holder of Jackson, are hard at work trying to land the house speak ership. The fact that MT. Holders friends assert that he has more than sufficient pledges to elect him has not yet driven his opponents out of the race. Mir Holder has been member of the legislature for the last ten years, and in the recent ses- sion played prominent and important part in shaping convict legislation. Both MT. Anderson and MT. Ellis have served in the legislature, but were not members of the last assembly.
