Granted Writ of Error

Judge R. R. Prentis, of the su-
preme court, has granted writ OF
error and supersedeas in the case
of the commonwealth against the
United Cigarette Machine Company.
The case comes from Campbell cir
cut court and is continuation OF
the effort of the state, the county
and Blackwater magisterial. district
to collect omitted taxes from the
company The case has once before
been to the supreme court, the state
winning a signal victory. The county,
the district and the state contend
that the legislature had no right to
prescribe the limits for the collection
of back taxes so far as the localities
were concerned, but when the case
was taken to Judge Barksdale, of
the circuit court, he decided in favor
of the company, as in, the first case,
when taxes for three years were col
lected. This was upset by the decree
of the appellate court, and now the
test as to the right to collect for the
years of 1908 and up to 1913, both in
elusive, is to be passed on by the su-
preme court.
