Be it remembered that in the

Co., a corporation omitted to as
sess it's capital stock for the year
1920, and this board assessed the
capital stock of said company for
said year and the said Gammill |
Lumber Co. appealed fror1 said
assessment and filed an injunc-.|
tom suit in the Federal Court
against the Board of Su-
pervisors restraining the collec-
tion of the taxes on said assessed
valuation of it's capital stock. The
board of supervisors employed
Messrs. r. H. & j. H. Thompson
and May & Saunders as is attor
neys to represent Rankin county in
said litigation, and afterwards
through said attorneys the case
was compromised, the Gammill |
Lumber Company paying $10,5O0 !
in settlement. The said attorneys,
r. H. & J. III. Thompson and May
& Sanders retained the sum Of |
$1,000 as their attorneys fee and
paid the balance $4,000 over to G.. |
A. Harrison, sheriff and tax. coll
lector of Rankin county to- be by
him paid into the proper funds. |
The action of said attorneys in
handling the said matter is in all
proved by this board.
