MICHAEL ACT

Special School Levy

AMENDMENT OF ACT
IS NOW ASSURED
In a decision handed down Monday
. morning the supreme court upholds the
McMIchael special school levy act. In
so 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 Imposed under the
act of 1905' was not Intended to be
rep-opective In Its application, and
could not be lawfully collected that
year."
It Is held,,however, that..‘‘the coun-
“\ty. kuthorttle. of any county., adopting
t he provisions of this act may levy the
thx authorised thereby upon the prop
erty of railroad companies, the assess
ment thereon being based on the re-
ttims made to the comptroller general.
The county authorlttea may obtain ft
ctj-t lied copy of such returns from tho
comptroller general on demand, to be
u6*0 In the assessment and levy of the

dy of the act, whereby Incorporated
tow ns operating a public school system
are not, without the consent of the
municipal authorities, Included In -the
election held In the county for the pur
pose of .determining whether a eehool
tax shall be levied. The subject matter
of the proviso Is germane, and le not
at variance with the title of the act.”
The Georgia railroad reeleted pa]
ment on the grounda that the levy was
unconstltulonal, because no machinery
for levying and collecting on railroad
property wa* provided. At any rate,
they contended, the levy for 1905 was
not collectible. Inasmuch as It waa the
settled policy of the legislature to pasr
tax acts one year preceding, and ni
departure from thte custom waa au.
thorlsed by the act.
In the opinion, written by Justice
Evans and concurred In by all the oth-
ers, the Judgment of the lower court Is
reversed solely on the contention that
the levy for (905 was not correct.
School Districts Knocked Out.
Because the McMIchael act requires
that the levy shall be made on all prop
erty appearing on'the digest of the tax
receiver the districts are knocked out.
Railroad property does not appear on
such digests, as they make returns to
the comptroller general. As the meas
ure now stands, the necessary machin
ery for assessing the railroads la lack
ing.
The third end fourth sections of the
act, providing for the levying and col
lecting of school districts tax, are de
clared inoperative.
This test case came up from McDon
ough school district. In Henry county,
end the Southern railway reeleted the
payment. Judge Reagan granted a re
straining order, and the supreme court
upholds that decision.

Tho Rev. J. H. Brown, a Baptist

A committee composed of Dr. J. W.

Inflamed by Jealousy, Alex. Bonner,

on a crowded trolley car at Mills and
Lovejoy streets, and caused a wild
scene of excitement, after which he at
tacked Bicycle Policemen Arrowood
and Wylie, a serious affray being nar<
rowly averted.
The fact that a cartridge In the ne
gro’a pistol fatted to fire prevented
possible tragedy on the car. Bonner Is
said to have snapped the rev,
the face of hie wife.
The car waa tilled with white people,
many of them ladles, and a scena of
pandemonium eneued. In trying

The negro, it appears, had been ex
pecting hie wife on that car and had
boarded It two blocks away.
Policemen Arrowood and Wylie were
riding on their bicycles a short dis
tance away, and, on hearing the dis
turbance and noticing the car stop,
hurriad to the scene. Bonner won

Arrowood.
He still had hla pistol In his hand
and put this hand behind him as the
ofllcar caught him by the other arm.
Just as Wylie came up he noticed the
negro bringing the pistol cauttoui'
under hie coat, the musslo point-

It was his Intention to shoot the officer.
Instantly Wylie seised the negro's arm
and wrenched tha pistol from hla hand.

Senator Foster Introduced a bill In

a Juror who- serves In one term ot

In many counties It la difficult to ob

the lightning setting fire to a negro
house on Seventeenth avenue, burn
ing It to the ground. A negro man In
the house was struck by lightning, and
his condition 1* -considered fatal. A
young lady. Mlaa Rutland, was also
shocked considerably by lightning at

The storm and rain did conaldarable

A hole warn smashed In the root ot

When the rescuers reached the Coe-

Women's Fees* Battered.
John Carter, a poetolllce official, who
was a passenger, said:
"The train passed Ballebury elation
at terrific speed. Then there waa an
awful crash, with the smashing of
wood and glass and the crunching of
Iron. The second coach lay alongside
the station and I tried to enter It. I
could not open the door, so I crawled
through a window.
"There lay some women. Their
faces were so battered that It waa
Impossible to distinguish their fea
tures. I dragged one woman from the
debris and although she was terribly
Injured, she thought not ot herself,
but asked me to rescue her mother. I
could not quiet her, and at last, to en
able me to get from the car, I told tha
aufferer that her mother had been
saved and- was on the station plat
form.
Nevtr Uttered a Moan.
"Then I turned my attention to i
woman hurled under wreckage, save
for her face. We tore away the debris
and rescued her. She was little hurt.
Altogether we got fire out of that
wreckage.
"What struck me most was the ex
traordinary bravery ot the women.
There was little screaming to add to
the horror of the situation, but with
dogged courage women endured their
terrible sufferings.
"I helped to carry one poor lady, who
bed a broken am» and leg and an In
jured back, to the Infirmary. She nev
