THE ALDERMEN WIN
SPEHCER TAX CA8E PA88ED 01
The Supreme Court Sender a Decis-
sion Favorable to the Aldermen.
Correspondence of Snn.
Spencer, Nov. 16 -Information
was received here today that the
Supreme Court ha? rendered a de
cision in favtr of the town of
Spencer in the action brought sev
eral months ago by J. P. Wingate,
J. D. Dorsett, D. C. Eagle, and
others, of this place, in an effort
o restrain thfe town from the col-
ection of its taxes. The case was
first heard before Judge C. M.
Cook in the Superior-Gburt; at
otatesville and a decision given in
favor of the defendant. The plain
tiffs, however, appealed to the
Supreme Court with the result as
stated above. The prime question
was whether or not the tax levy
as made by the aldermen of Spen
cer is legal viz.: Fifty cents on
the poll and 50 cents on the 1100
worth of property, which is in ex
cess of the former rate of taxation.
The question being decided in the
affirmative, it is learned, the board
of aldermen will at once take steps
to re-establish a police force and
provide other municipal necessi
ties which were curtailed by a
temporary restraining order and
will continue business at the same
old stand. Ex Congressman John
S. Henderson and P. S. Carlton,
Esq., represented Spencer in the
action and Messrs. John L Rendle
man and T. C. Linn were the
attorneys for the plaintiffs.
Mr. Sydney Hisdon, who re
contTy located MM(i engagg
in the hardware business, was
married to Mr. Jennie Powell at
the home of her parents in Cas
well county. Mr. Bisdon is highly
esteemed here and his bride, who
has frequently visited in Spencer,
is not only a social favorite, but
also a most lovable and excellent
young woman. They will reside
in Spencer.

"I have heard such talk," re

Mr. Kluttz thinks that Surry

the fifth district and Union to the

that Forsyth properly belongs in
