A verdict of s9416 was awarded
John Eggers against the Pere Mar

months under that head The first
case was Sonsmth against the Pere

In making the charge to the jury
Judge Gage stated that under the
law, if the negligence of Eggers was
less than that of his fellow employees,
he was entitled to damages. but if it
was greater he could not recover
damages. The case will no doubt be
appealed to the supreme court
Eggers was an engineer and was

The constitutionalty of the law
providing for the taxation of tele'

Judge Denison in the United States

after such corporations will be taxed
in the same manner as the railroads

taxes each year than under the old
law.
The case decided was an action

whose gross receipts are less than
$500 a year
The companies attacked the va
lidity of the law on the ground that
this discrimination between large and
small companies was unjust and
against the federal constitution. II
was also contended that the title oil
the act was defective
The court holds that the law is
not unjustly discriminative, and calls
attention to the distinction between
companies which are cooperative IN
their nature and those which do bust
ness for profit 1t also holds that the
defect in the title of the act does
not impair the law.

Members OF the County Court dis
played commendable wisdom and
public spirit when on Monday they
adopted Squire Bellenfant's motion
to increase the salary Of Superintend-
ent Graham by the amount that the
State allows under the general edu-
cational act of 1909. This fixes the
salary Of that official at $3.50 which
is reasonably fair compensation for
what 10 really the most important
office in the county. But wealth and
population considered it IL now less
than Ia paid in any of the larger coun-
ties Of the State.
Madison county with q smaller lop-
ulation than Maury and with about
half of the taxable wealth, pays its
Superintendent salary of $500 and
that will be. still further increased by
the State appropriation. Montgom-
cry county which has some 1000 few
er school children than Maury, pays
the Superintendent $1,000; Davidson
county with country school popula,
ton about the same as that of this
county, pays the Superintendent
$1,000, while Hamilton county pays
$4,000. Lauderdale with half Of the
scholastic population Of Maury ooun-
ty, pays the Superintendent a salary
of $500; weakley with 1000 fewer
children than Maury county pays
$1,000 and Upton also pays $1,000.
These are the salaries prior to Janu-
airy 1, or before the act of 1909 with
