THE DIE IS CAST-TWO HUN DRED AND FIFTY MEN DIS FRANCHISED. The Time For Qualifying For Vot ing in the Elections of the Year 1908, As Far As the Paying Of Poll Taxes Is Concerned, Is Over —The Books Closed At Midnight Friday. May 1 What the Politicians Say. As far as the paying of poll taxes went as a qualification for voting in the election next fall, j and in the prohibition election | on the 2(sth of May, tae "die is j cast," and "the Rubicon is cross- 1 ed." The tax books are still open,: and any person who Ims not | hitherto paid bis poll, can do so i now, but the act will not qualify i him to vote this year. Two hundred and fifty polls are left in the books unpaid. The Reporter called on some of the candidates and politicians Satur day to get an idea of how the board sits with regard to the re lative chances for success at the polls of the two parties, basing the figures on the poll question. Register of Deeds Jones said that the Republicans were claim ing that they had only about 20 polls unpaid. J. D. Humphreys stated that the Democrats wero positively in the best condition they have been in sinco the poll matter came into fashion. He said that of the 250 unpaid polls, that a large number were of those who had left the county, and would not be here to vote this fall. Others wera dead, some of them unknown, being mistakes made by the listers, while a large per centage were Republicans. It is estimated that the num ber of unpaid polls is less than that of two years ago by about 100, and than that of four years ago by 200. Some Notes From Walnut Cove Route 1.

Under the provisions of the Byrd liquor law distillers in this , county cannot after May 1, I'.K)B, | either sell or send by common | carriers their products to any one living within this county nor ship | to any dry territory in this State. The same provision applies to distillers at other points within this State. They will not be allow ed to ship whiskey into the towns or country, or any other dry ter ritory. We are not prepared to say whether the same provision that applies to distillers applies to bar rooms or not. Deputy Collector H. L Lawson, accompanied by J, W., A. H. and T M.

HARRISON & COMPANY, Main Street. Mt. Airy, N. FOR A SOUTHERN PRESIDENT. Senator Culberson, of Texas, may prove the right man at the right place at Denver in July. Col. William Jennings Bryan once said that Mr. Culberson would be acceptable to him as a Democratic nominee for the pres idency. That is more than Mr. Bryan has conceded to other Democrats. The Texas Senator is, and has been, a loyal supporter of the distinguished Nebraskan. Recently, when hia name was be ing used in connection with that of Senator Simmons for the chair manship of the national commit tee, he declared, as he had done before, that he was not, nor would ho4)e, a candidate, adding that he was for Mr. Bryan. There may come a time iu the next na tional convention when Mr. Cul berson will he considered as a compromise man. If Bryan, Johnson and Gray should dead lock the Denver convention a dark horse of the record, and standing of Culberson might be brought in. This is not un likely, it is argued by men who study politics. Some people believe that a Southern man—especially Cul berson—would make a better run | than any man now in the field, IHe would come nearer carrying New York, New Jersey and Con necticut than would Bryan, who tried and failed twioe. This feel ing is growing and, coupled with it, is a desire to unite on some man who is not classed ns a fac tionist. Those who oppose the Nebraskan on the ground that they believe that he cannot carry certain States necessary to elect are willing to accept a Democrat who is satisfactory to Bryan. If the Democrats would get together, they must give and take. All, save Mr. Bryan and those of hia \ SCRIP IS WITH US \ \ NO LONGER BUT | ? J. A. Lawson I to \ Is Still Doing Business at \ Same Old Stand. J % Come and see the nice things 1 carryi % in the scrap and piece goods linM 1 J. A. Lawson jfl I Smith N C, R. F. D. No. 1. intimate personal following, who think more of him than they do their party, seem to realize this. Men who would win an election are not olamoring for any partic ular individual but say: "Give us Harmon, Johnson, Gray, Cul berson or any one without a rec ord of failure at the polls, and we will stand by him." Colonel Bryan holds the key to the situation. At the eleventh hour he may be induced to give it to Culberson if he can be brought to the realization that he cannot get the nomination. This, no doubt, will seem far-fetched to some who worship Bryan and put him above party, but it is not a pipe dream pure and simple. To a coterie of Democratic leaders it appears rational, to say the least. The day of the South may have arrived. It would mean much to Dixie if one of her sons were se lected to carry the banner of De mocracy. If Bryan loves the South as the South loved him he can do a good turn for the many that have been done him. The question paramount now is: "Is ex-Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, managing the New York end of the Bryan cam paign?"
