Pay Before You Vote.
The following very timely sug
gestion is from the News and Ob
server. and should be carefully
heeded. It is important to nil
who would enjoy the right of
suffrage,
"It is not too soon to begin an
agitation to induce all voters tc
pay their poll tax before the first
Monday in May. Under the new
suffrage laws, no man can vote in
the November election unless he
has paid his state and oounty poll
tax before the first of May. Not a
few men lost their right to vote in
city, temperance ami other elec
tions in 1908 l>ecause they hatl
not paid their poll tax prior to
the first Monday in May. They
had paid it later than May, but
lost their vote because they ha«l
paid it too late.
There is one defect in the ex
isting law which should be reme
died. Under the present law a
sheriff or tax collector, author
ized to distrain or garnishee for
poll tax before or after May,
often waits until the summer or
fall, aud then forces the payment
of poll tax too late for the man
paying it to vote. This ought
not be allowed. Every officer
charged with the duty of collect
ing tax ought to be required to
force collections l)efore the first
Monday in May. It is as easy to
do this before May as afterwards.
If done before, the man retains
the right to vote, if afterwards he
> loses it. In the absence of any
law, we venture to suggest to all
sheriffs and tax collectors that
they exert themselves to collect
all poll tax before the first Mon
day in May—not only by request'
ing its payment, but by putting
in operation all machinery, such
as garnisheeing wages and the
like, that they are accustomed to
employ later in the year. It is
just as well to force payment, in
April, when the person paying
will save his vote, as to wait until
August, when he will have to pay
2 and still lose his vote. When No
' vember comes the voter, who has
neglected to pay of his volition,
will thank the tax collector much
more for using the process of the
law in April (hail in Noveinh'r."

END OF BITTER FIGHT.
"Two physiciams had a long and
stubborn fight with an abcess on
my right lung" writes J. F. Hug
hes of DuPont, Ga. "and gave me
up. Everybody thought my time
had come. As a last resort I tried
Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. The benefit 1 recei
ved was striking and I was on my
feet in a few days. Now I've entire
ly regained my health." It con

j Death Of "Blind Billy's" Wife.
Mrs. Berry, an old lady, died at

son and Everett Nelson, aU clever
gentlemen, were visitors among

Don't fail to remember that
Sheriff Reid Joyce will start out

and that this is tho last call. Bet
ter pay that tax and save coat, and
then you can't vote, you know,
unless you pay before the first day
of May.
