In re Taxes and License Fees, South

of Brunswick:
Hon. r. r. Hopkins, Mayor.
Brunswick, Georgia
Dear Sir:-The officers of the South
ern Express Company have referred
to us the matter of the license charge
of $4,000 fixed by ordinance of the
mayor and council Of the city OF
Brunswick, as a license tax for the
year 1910 on express companies.
Under the law, such companies he
ing engaged in interstate commerce.
are only liable to the city for what
would amount to an au valorem tax
on its physical properly and its fran
chise.T he physical property Of the
Express Company is assessed this
year by the assessors of the city at
$4,000, and the tax on this amount
will, of course, be paid by the CON-
pany. In 1910 tie portion of the fr9n-
chise apportioned to the city OF
Brunswick was returned for 50 $500.
The tax on this amount at $12.55 per
thousand would be 1894. Therefore
assuming that the ad alorem AK on
the assessed value of the properly viii
be paid for this year in the ordinary
way, and assuring that the franchise
return for the city OF Brunswic', will
be the same as last year, it would
not be legal to collect any taxes ir

8 Killed, 80 Hurt--Three Cars
Are Hurled Into Station
Near london

LONDON, Jan. 29.-One of the most Sc
rious railway accidents in England since
the disaster to the steamer train at Sails
bury, in July, 1906. when many Americans
lost their lives, occurred at Stoats Nest
station, near London, on the London and
Brighton railway this afternoon. Eight
dead and about 80 injured were taken
from the wreck.
Two third-class cars and a Pullman of
a trkain from Brighton, travelling at a
sped of 40 miles an hour, crashed into the
station. The third-class cars were COM
ing was demolished. The Pullman was
thrown violently into the air, but was
comparatively little damaged. Its passen-
gers escaped with minor injuries. Robert
]. Wynne, the former American consul
general at London. who was in the Pull
man, escaped uninjured and helped to as
sist the wounded
One account says that the wreck was
due to the derailment of a portion of
the train and another that it was due to
the breaking of the coupling between the
first and second-class cars. The two
third-class cars reared almost on Their
ends and toppled over on the platform,
bringing down a mass of iron girders
and timbers from the station with a tre-
mendous crash.
Doctors, ambulance detachments and
boy scouts with stretchers soon appeared.
The critically injured were taken to a
local hospital, while the others were
brought to London.

BRITISH ELECTION
VICTORY FOR IRISH
Second Budget Will Contain,
1t Is Said, Concessions in
Reduction of Spirit Taxes

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The week closes
with the Liberals in better heart as a
result of their gradually swelling total,
They emphasize. the fact that with the
Laborites the governments purely Brit
ish majority will be 49, The fact that
Premier Asquith and Chancellor Lloyd
George are taking a brief holiday, after
a short conference today, is further re-
assuring to the ministerialists, who see
In this an evidence of harmony in the
cabinet.
1t is notable also that the more mod
crate opinion which a few days ago
echoed the conservative suggestions of a
conference on the subject of the house of
lords, has now come into line, the ex-
tremists declaring that it is the govern
ment's first duty to pass the budget at
once and then take up he matter of the
lords.
There is no question that the ploughing
of sands by the introduction Of legislation
would likely be barren of results. At the
same time it is limited that the second
budget, which is due to, be presented i'm
mediately the first is passed, will con-
tain concessions to the Irish in the re-
duction of spirit taxes, and to the i'm
perialists by an increase in the navy for,
which probably $25,0OO,OOO will be voted
The Unienists are confident that the
government will be plunged into difficult
ties from the outside, by the Laborites,
who are certain to reintroduce their
right to work. bill, which was rejected
by the government in the last parlia-
ment. Moreover, the debate of the ad-
dress is likely to be very animated. A
host of amendments already is foreshad-
owed, including the home rule and fiscal
questions.
The latter however is likely to be in
the background, so far as parliament is
concerned, although an active propagan-
da will be continued in the constituent
cies. The warmest fight in the new par
lament will be on the veto of the house
of lords, which, all are agreed will precip-
itate a new election within few
months

THEATRE IN PANIC
OVER A RACE RIOT
Negro Patron and Usher Fight
Over Seat--InnoCent Man
Mob'S Victim

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-A quarrel at the
Folly theatre, burlesque house, last
night. between a negro patron and an
usher over a seat ticket precipitated a
race war that threw the audience into d
panic and ended in an attempt at lynch
ing on the part of mob of men and
boys.
After the police had broken up the riot
it was discovered by the leaders of the
mob that the man they attacked was
not the one who had quarreled with the
usher. The victim, whose name is Will
liam Bailey, was mistaken for the Of
fender.
, Bailey escaped with his life through the
active use of clubs by dozen policemen.
Before he was rescued the mob had cut
his head open and so severely trampled
him that he was taken to the emergency

the theatre after the trouble started sew

many persons were torn.

They follow a recommendation that three
cadets recently found guilty Of ;'bracing
a pIebe be dismissed. The secretary OF

dismissal and has readjusted the regu.e-
tons ''Rracing'' is to compel cadet
to stand at attention for several hours
The new regulations are even more
drastic than any hitherto adopted and
provide that the most trivial annoyance
of underclassmen shall bring summary
suspension. Violence is barred, as in the
past, but in addition, it is specified that
ANY cadet who shall compel or permit
an underclassman to perform for him any
mental service or to do anything incom-

court house Saturday and set the days for
holding the county primaries on April
and April s, 1910, the committee declaring
i'm favor of double primary. From the
outlook IL seems that the field will be
full OF candidates. Z
A mass meeting was held just before
the committee met and elected delegates
TO the convention i'm Lavonia to deter
mine which county is entitled to the sena-
tor the next time, Stephens or Habersham
county. A resolution was, offered, which
was unanimously passed, asking that the
convention in Lavonia pass such rules as
may be necessary allowing the voters of
the district to vote for the candidates who
seek the nomination, which does not
change the rotation plan, but allows the
entire district to have a voice in selecting
the nominee.

Use of Flour viii
Settle High Food Cost

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. N--ln an in
terview here today, William E. Castle,
III resident of the Millers National FEEDER
alton, says that if the housekeepers will
buy more flour, the question of the adj
vanced cost of living will soon be set
tied.
He quotes from United States govern
ment tests which show that the amount
of energy secured in 10 cents worth Of
flour is 20 times that N 10 cents worth
of eggs, and besides wheat flour contains
all the elements of food that the hui
man system requires, and in the proper
proportions for its best development.
The government test says that one
pound of -four costing 1-2 to cents will
go as far as two pounds of meat COST
ing from Is to 20 cents per pound.
