Ruling by North Carolina Supreme
Court Which Affects Many Counties.
Especial to The Times -Dispatch.l

| Especial to The Times -Dspatch.l
RALEIGH, N. c.. May 25.-In revers-
Ing the lower court In the Joint cases
OF Southern Railway Company VS..
Commissioners OF Mecklenburg and
| Buncombe counties, involving the right
/ OF the counties to levy poll tax in ex-
cess of 81. the Supreme Court of North
| Carolina renders probably the most
far-reachng decision in years, counties
not affected in their taxation systems
being the exception. This opinion was
one of twenty-four delivered this af-
ternoon. with still others to be handed
down later in the week before the
court adJourns for the term.
In the case Of the Southern Railway
VS.. Commissioners, the court holds that
under the provisions Of article ST. sec
tons l, 2, s and I, OF the State Consti-
tuition. the capitation tax specified by
section l shall never exceed SO on the
head for both State and county; that
under section the capitation tax,
State and county. shall be applied to
purposes of education and support of
the poor. and for no other purpose;
that. in pursuance of section g. the
counties may levey for ordinary cur
rent expenses double the State and
county tax on property. and poll tax
which, combined with the poll tax lev
led by the State. shall never exceed So:
that for special purposes, on approval
of the General Assembly. counties may
levy more than double the State poll
tax; that for this tax no poll shall be
levied: that the Limitation and equa-
tion described by section l. article
s. "that the tax Of $500 Of property shall
never exceed the tax on the poll" ap-
plies only to state and county taxes
levied for ordinary current expenses
for State and county purposes.
The court adopts the construction as
to limitation and equation announced
by Chief Justice Pearson in the old case
of University Railroad VS.. Holden.

there was another object, which. he
feared, was too often overlooked-the

The necessity for diversified indus

call for men with the ability to or

qualification OF the graduates of the
