Bessemer, November 9.-(Special.) 1.-The southern railroad, being under federal control. is no longer subject to license ,ax to the city of Bessemer, according to jhe decision conveyed in letter from John Barton Payne, general counsel of railroads, to Mayor B. c. Jones Satur- Jay. The letter was written in reply to an appeal to. Director General McAdoo by the mayor upon refusal of Tax Com missioner Hubbard of the Southern rail- road to pay to the city of Bessemer an amount of s1OS.S7 which was a balance due on last years tax. The letter in part follows:
 Tax in question is for privilege of
 doing busness;' by reason of federal control the Southern railway has been relieved of the right to do business by the federal government and under the doctrine of McCoach vs. Minehill rail, way, 22S United States Reports, page 2s0 is no longer subject to such tax. The right of the states to tax the property of railroads is unimpaired. but unless the railroad is doing business the particular tax is imperative; the various munich palities collect an ad valorem tax or physical property, but for the period oi federal control the carrier is not SUD- feet to the tax for privilege of doing business since the United states and not the carrier is doing the business
 The city of Bessemer collects th' amount of s2600 in license tax from thu railroads doing business in the city ant the loss of this amount to the city treas ury will be keenly felt. Mayor Jone! states that he intends to take the matter up with neighboring municipalities IT view of getting some relief through the congressman and senators of the district

The people of st. Joseph we're great
ly shocked on Sunday when news

ing an operation for gall stone. 1t is
understood that something like 39S
gall stones we're taken from him dur

hours. His death followed soon after
he was taken out Of the operating
room.
Deceased was born and reared in st.
Joseph and spent his entire life here.
He was the youngest son of the late
Geo. Paul and Mrs. M. L. Paul, nee
Wallace, who with one brother and
two sisters survives him. At time Of
his death Eugene was 80 years OF age.
He assisted his mother in her store at
St. Joseph and was always known to
be Industrious, sober and straight
forward. He was popular with large
circle of friends and his death in the
prime of young manhood Is greatly
regretted by our entire people. The
remains were brought up to Natchez
by his uncle, Mr.. T. J. Wallace, for in
terment, number of friends from St.
Joseph going down to attend the
funeral. The sympathy of our COM
munity goes out to the bereaved
mother and family in their grief.
