LEVEE BOARD LOSES.
MAY TIE UP ALL WORK.

A case of more than passing
interest disposed of in circuit
court yesterday was that Of W.
/ G.. johnson, Goalder johnson, Rob
GOalder, George Terrett and the
heirs of Il. b. Goalder VS.. the
! Fulton County Levee Board. in
(which ease Judge Gardner rem
dered an opinion in favor OF the
plaintiff
The fight was one testing the
legality of an action by the
Board in 1919, when they con
tracted with Will Bondurant for
certain emergency work on the
Reelfoot levee and assessed an
acreage tax against the landown-
ers for the payment of same.
The plaintiffs IN this case refus-
ed 10 pay the acreage tax assess
ed against them-amounting in
all TO S493, cOntending that they
had no notice of such assess
ment, and therefore no day in
court or opportunity TO appear
before the Board and protest "a
gainSt the assessment, as requir-
ed by law, that the rate was
lnequitable, etc The sheriff
proceeded TO attempt TO collect
this tax, but an injunction was
granted restraining the sheriff
from so doing, and Judge Gard
ne- : decision amounts TO a per-
manent injunction. In deliver
ing his opinion, Judge Gardner
said it was unfortunate that such
suit had been brought and he
decided the case against his sen
timents, it being a mere question
If law which he was called upon
to decide.
Just what effect this will have
on the proposition of building
the loop at mile four, where the
river is now within 100 feet of
tie levee, remains to be seen.
The Board a few days ago is
sued bonds to the extent OF
T35, 900, the amount required of
tie land owners by the govern
ment, to do this work. The
bonds were sold TO the landown-
ers, and III turn the money was
sent TO the federal authorizes.
Some Of the members of the
board are now of the opinion
that the work Will not be done
Tor some time-if at all-and
someone may be out the price OF
the bonds They also say with
out power to assess and collect
an acreage tax, it VIII be iInpos-
slble TO do anything IN the
way of Improvements, as the en-
tre amount of ad yalOrum tax
Is required for current expenses ;
furthermore, that the govern
ment is hardly likely to be will
ing to proceed with the work
under the circumstances, al
though the contract has been
let for the mile four loop.
The Board Immediately took
steps for a hearing before the
Court of Appeals.

the Minot product offered poor pick
ings for that sort of competition.
Up the flight Of broad, nat steps now
climbed boy; boy with a face eager
and alert, and a quantity Of blond
hair that waved and twisted all over
his head in insubordinate curis.
He walked with an odd, slightly IN
even gait, which seemed to you at first
to require conscious effort, but which
you presently discovered to be AZ ef-
fective a means Of locomotion as the
average. His feet were smaller than
common for a boy Of his age. and his
legs noticeably slender-But he could
walk, easily and rapidly. As he was
between thirteen and fourteen years
old, there was no reason to doubt that,
with his general growth. his legs
would more and more approach the
normal.
Charles legs were the only limping
thing about him. His brain cantered.
to say the least, where most brains
plodded. And he had developed an as
tonishing and catholic dexterity. This
had become emphasized from the time
he had begun to play with the new
drawing outfit, on a memorable Christ
mas night. . 's7'
Every day Of his life from that time
he had drawn and drawn and drawn.
The weird results Of first attempts
gave place to work that showed the
promise of the future. His perspec-
tive was masterfully distorted, bis
chiaroscuro a patchwork Of tangled
shadows; but here and there, in a face.
In the poise Of a head. or in the grace
and truth of gesture even of some
crude caricature. there was a flash of
talent almost binding in its revela-
