Once more, with some people means again, and again, and then some more. his sentiments regardless of whether it be democratic, repub lican or prohibition. We learn that there ^ more than five hundred disfranchised voters in this county from failure to pay their poll tax. This is possioly the'largest number since the payment of pojl tax. became a feature of the Constitutional amendment. It is thought that about four hundred of this num ber are republicans and about one hundred democrats, the ac tivities of the deputy sheriff is responsible for the small number of democrats that failed to pajf. With four hundred republicans disfranchised and the county thousand dollars in debt, all made since the lasjt bond issue to re fund the county debt, it would seem we are in a - bad way, and relief is no where in sight. i I; : I M !

It would seem from their ac tion last Monday night that the Dity Aldermen think a change is beneficient now and then. It is said a new broom sweeps clean, the City Aldermen made a clean sweep of the officers last Monday night. Let’s see if any improvement results therefrom. The steam roi^er method was used on Policeman Amick Mon day night. Not even his record as an efficient officer was consid ered. The record of A. A. Russell as tax coiiector feas been a record- breaker. We tru»t he wili keep this good re«©i4 as Chief of Po lice. How wottJ4 you like to meet Mr. W. P. Ireland come rolling around the comer some dark night? Weil, “Pete" received one vote fw policeman. Although he look's wise we were not aware that Mr. Romey Rog ers was posessed with the dignity of a professional until Monday night. He received one vote for City Attorney. The election of Robt. Lutter- loh to the ppsition of tax collect or appears to be the paying of an old political debt. One that only those wjho staud up in the ring and shoot at the middle man know anything about. And Dr. Faucett received one vote for mayor-pro tem at Alder men’s meeting. Wouldn’t that jar you to have Doc administer to your moral needs. Suppose he should get the thing mixed and give you three doses of qui nine when you deserved six months on the roads. Chief Patillo passed out of pol itics quietly Monday night. Seems t» have died a natural death without even kicking. Sup pose he had been handed a hyper- dennic of the dose before hand. Mr. Patillo has made a faithful officer and it will doubtless be some time before, another like him will p^ up. We trust the tax collector will get busy now and collect the poll tax of the four hundred re publicans who faiied to pay on or before the first day of May, the county needs the mcmey, and they should be taught to know that it has got to be paid anyway, and that they might just as well pay before as after the time limit. Let every man pay his p(dl tax in time to qualify lamself to vote,' and then vote Can Now Return to His First Love. Once upon a time there was a man who came up from the low ly walks of life, and finally enter ed the ministry, where for a brief season he enjoyed quite a bril liant career, but like a great many men, who spring from nothing into ;^ominence, he ov ertaxed bis dwarfed mental ca pacity, to such an extent, that his will power was not strong enough to coerce his power for good, and make it predominate over his desire for evil, being thus encompassed about, he soon became possessed of a devil and his immediate prospects for a long and useful life in the ser vice of the meek and lowly Jesus blasted, feeling his sad plight, and knowing that he could not serve two masters, and maintain his standing in the ministry'^ and the confidence and rOspect of his fellow man. Being of a proud and self-conceited disposition, and desirous of keeping his real {H^icament from the eyes and knowledge of the world, he set about to find a calling or .(Pupa tion where there w(»ld be the least conflict of the two element of his depraved nature, and after taxing his diseased brain with various ideas and problems, the evil in his mind still encouraged and predominated by the evil spirit of which he was posessed* He decided to embark upon the sea of democratic journalism. Bringing his desire into action, he purchased a sheet of the de mocratic persuation in a small city of about five thousand in habitants, where for a time it looked as if the change had caus ed his will ppwer to grow strong er, and the hopes of his friends grew brighter, only to receive a more severe shock, when they learned that he had again been stricken in a more violent form than before. While in this de lusion he sought to belittle, be rate, villify and misrepresent anybody and everybody who dif fered with him, or the cause that he thought he had been chosen to defend, using such words, epithets and denunciation as to make those who remembered his former calling hang their heads in shame, and to bring forth a severe rebuke from a former co- laborer, a devout man and good citizen, in behalf of a suffering public, and in the name of decen cy and a higher plan of /journal- ism. But this evil genius who had deserted his former lofty calling, to get down in the mire of partisan politics, that he might satisfy his new found master, continued in labor, using such adjectives, deaunciations, and high sounding phrases until the fury of the evil spirit bad exausted itself, and he was duly delivered. Let the public hope that he is now thoroughly cleans ed. That he has repented in sack cloth and ashes, that the evil spirit has deserted Kis x>nce filthy carcass, ^at he is now in a spiritual c(mdition to return to his first love and that he will ever be found a willing worker in Ms mi^rs vineyud.

C. 5 ^ I Will KILL FOSTER BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN, ALLEN SAID had been grossly exaggerated and that be would introduce tes timony to show that Bettie Ayres was killed by a bullet from Clerk Dexter Goad's revolver and not by the Allens. The defense would show, he said, that Floyd Allen nad been wounded before he had taken part in the shooting. Wytheville, Va., May 2.— “ril” kill Bill Poster before the sun goes down tomorrow night if I’m convicted.” Fioyd Allen, the first of the Hillsville courthouse assassins now on trial here , for his life, was charged with making this remark before the shooting on March 14, according to the testi mony today of L B. Weddell, of Montgomery, one of the first day’s witnesses for the prosecu tion. On cross-examination Wed dell stuck to. his story though he admitted no other persons were present during his conversation with Allen. Six witnesses, three of them spectators at the shooting affray testified. TTie first D. W. Bolen, a lawyer who was defending Allen in the court where the murders occured, testified that he saw Claud Allen fire the first shot and that it struck Judge Massie. Court officials returned the fire, hie said. Two of the jurymen who were then trying Allen te'stified, one of them that Allen had fired in the direction of where he last saw Poster, the commonwealth’s fittomey who was killed. Other witnesses told of conversations with Allen in which he had threatened Poster. Prosecutor Wysor, opening the case, said he would snow there was'a conspiracy among the Al lens to shoot up the , court if Floyd Allen was convicted. At" tomey Willis, for the defense re torted timt reports of the tragedy Came To Grief Trying: To Salt Tail Of Bird Lawrence, Ind., May 4—Some body told Howard Swarthout ag ed 10, that if he would sprinkle the tail of a redbird literally with salt it would flutter into his arms become a pet and thrill him with Its song , as long as it lived. The'boy believed the story just as he believed that fairies inhabit the dells and forest, so when he saw a redbird fitting and twitter ing in the back yard he determin ed to capture it. Filling a pocket with salt, the boy climbed the tree from which the bird was singing a solo. He reached out his hand to sprinkle the salt, the bird fie w to a high er branch, there was a crash of twigs, a scream, a thud, aind Howard was picked up from the ground. He had a broken arm and had a deep gash in the fore- h^. The bird perched on the highest bough, continued its song and some say it was a moiimful tune. The magic salt is back in the ]ar, and Howard is in bed, may hap dreaming of fairies, but not of sprinkling salt on tails of birds. ■' 'A' ■ 1 Miss Anna DeMoss the popular daughter of Mr. iihd Mrs. D.
