There was a cold-blooded killing at
Rendalia 10 miles from the city, on
last Saturday evening. A negro named
Simmons, meeting Sol Smith, another
negro. dunned him for 40 cents that he
claimed Smith owed him. Smith denied
the amount, remarking that he owed
him 5 cents, but didn't owe 40 cents.
Simmons Immediately discharged the
contents of a shotgun into the bowels
of Smith. Before Smith died he pre-
scented a nickel to Simmons, saying:
Here is your nickel. you shot me for
nothing" and then at once expired.

State Not Satisfied.

The weakness of the recent victory won
by the state in the franchise tax cases
is indicated by the fact that the attor-
neys therefor have moved for rehear-
ing by the supreme court. 1t is rare that
the winning side in litigation seeks re-
hearings 1t is commended by the state
that the tax is a privilege levy, not prop
erty tax. as the higher court ruled, and
it is urged that the opinion be amended
to take this view of 1t.
The railroads seem to have won out
easily on this proposition. The supreme
court held the tax to be valid and the act
good, even though Mr. Justice Anderson
in very vigorous manner dissented. The
court, however, intimated that the act is
in violation of the sentiments Of the fed
eral constitution. The reason for not so
holding and knocking the statute out lies
In the fact that while the railroad could
appeal the state can not.
