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 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.

The question of the appointment of this committee, nr requested In a com munication from the business.men's or ganisation, threatened to cause a re newed discussion of the Torrey-Alex- ander matter, but this was nipped In the bud by the statement that the com mittee would have no power to bind the conference to any future action. A partial report from the various churches showed that there had been In the months of May and June 157 baptisms and 149 accessions to the church by letters.
