Considering that High Point is some smaller than Greensboro it is safe to say -Jat she is paying her just portion of the county's indebt edness in the way of taxes, and has no fear of comparisons.

That the said plaintiff has not in and by the said bill or stated any such cause .as doth or entitle it to any - such relief as is thereby sought and prayed for. "Second. That this defendant ha. no personal or individual interest in the matters and things referred to in said bi'l. "Third. That the said plaintiff has adequate remedy at law. "Fourth. That the matters and things complained of in said bill are res judicata. "Fifth. That this court has uo jurisdiction to hear and determine this cause for the reason that this is a suit against the State of Virginia. "Sixth. That this court has not jurisdiction to hear and determine the cause for the reason that tho State corporation commission is at court of the State of Virginia and this court is therefore without power to enjoin the said commission. "Seventh. That this court has no jurisdiction to determine this caue, for the reason that if the 6aid com mission is not such a court as this court, with power to enjoin, then the publicatin of said commission 's order of April 27tb, 1907, was the neces sary part of the enactment of the same as legislation, and this court is equally without power to enjoin legislation before it is enacted. "Wherefore, and for divers other good causes of demurrer appearing in said bill, this defendant demurs thereto, and humbly demands the judgment of this court whether he shall be compelled to make any fur ther answer to the said bill; and prays to be hence dismissed with his cost and charges in this behalf most wrongfully sustained.
