QUICKLY CHANCED.
In a decision handed down Monday
morning the supreme court upholds the
McMIchael special school levy act. In
ho far as It relates to the counties, but
knocks out the -districts.
While the case affecting the county
of Hancock Is actually reversed. It Is
held that ‘‘the tax tmpoeed under the
art of 1905 was not Intended to be
retropectlve In Its application, and
could not be lawfully collected that
year." 1 ' .
>tl Is : held, .however, that "the coun
ty authorities of any county adopting
the provisions of this act may levy the
tax authorised thereby upon the prop
erty of railroad companies, the assess
ment thereon being- baked on the re
turn! made to the comptroller general,-
The county authorities may obtain a
certified copy of such returns from the
comptroller general on demand, to be
used In the assessment and levy of the
tax.”
It la stated further that the act
not unconstitutional because of the
proviso In the second section of the

At a meeting of t^e Methodist minis
ters of Atlanta at Wesley Memorial
church Monday morning ex-Oovemor
William J. Korthen presented a com
munication from the Business Men's
Gospel Union, which was to be pre
sented In duplicate to all of the minis
terial associations In the city. Gov
ernor Northen stated that It was the
destre of the Gospel Union to work
with the ministers and under their di
rection for the uplifting of the people
of ^tlanta^pnd of Georgia, and to that
end a committee of five had been ap
pointed to confer with representatives
of the different denominations. Bach

delegates to meet at the Young Men's
Christian Association parlors Tuesday
pose of determining whether a sc]
tax shall be levied. The subject matter
of the proviso Is germane, and Is not
at variance with the title of the act”
The Georgia railroad resisted pay
ment on the grounds that the levy was
unconstltutonal, because no machinery
for levying and collecting on railroad
property was provided. At any rate,
they contended, the levy for 1905 was
R»t collectible. Inasmuch aa It was the
tax acts one year preceding, am
departure from this custom was au
thorised by the act.
In the opinion, written by Justice
- - • .
Evans and concurred In by all the oth-
r-versed solely on the contention that
the levy for 1905 was not correct.
School Districto Knocked Out.
Bemuse the McMIrhnnl act requires
that the levy shall be made on all prop
erty appearing on the digest of the tax
rec eiver the districts are knocked out.
Railroad property-does not appear on
such digests, a a they make returns to
the comptroller general. As the meas
ure now stands, the necessary machin
ery for assessing the railroads Is lack
ing.
The third and fourth sections of the
set, providing for the levying and cot-
b- ting of School districts tax, are de
clared Inoperative..
This test case came up from McDon
ough school district. In Henry county,
and the Southern railway resisted the
payment. Judge Reagan granted a re
straining order, and the supreme court
upholds that decision.

A committee composed of Dr. J. W.
Millard and Dr. John E. White woe
appointed to confer with the Business
Men's Gospel Union relative to a plan
for the evangelisation of the city. The
question of the appointment of this
committee, as requested In a com'
munlcatlon from the business men's or
ganlsatlon, threatened to cause a re.
newed discussion of the Torrey-Alex-
under matter, but this was nipped In
the bud by the statement that the com
mittee would have no power to bind
emor Northen termed a “free, full and
fraternal conference." Rev. J. H.
Bakes, presiding elder, and Rev. C. O.
Jones, of St. Mark church, were ap
pointed to attend. '
On motion of Rev, J. W. Lee, It was
decided entirely to suspend meetings
during August, and that the, steering
committee should have no set program
for the remainder, of the July meet
ing*.
At this point Rev. C. O. Jones rose to
a question of .personal privilege, but
before he could state hie grievance
Dr. Bakes, who was In the chair, stated
that If there wes anything which Dr.
Jones did not wish reported In the
newspapers the meeting would go Into
executive session as at previous meet-
get Into
i print. At the request of Dr. Jones the
meeting went Into executive session
and the representative of The Georgian
retired. What .Dr. Jones' grievance was
did not transpire.
A motion was made by one of the
ministers present to debar newspaper
men altogether from the meetings In
the future, hut after considerable dis
cussion this wes voted down by a large
majority, though the secretary stated
after the meeting was over that In a
case similar to this one that the meet-
