The. committee t will appreciate -an official expremlon ', of your , cpmmittee on the questions V. given' below at the committee's very 1 earliest ' convenience." Th committee put every one of its answers in writing as requested, and . .' both. questions and answers are given ; 'below; ' . . Question 1 'Will the payment of : poll tax, either county and State or .f city poll tax, for the year 1906 or any other year be required as i qualifica tion for voting in said primaries and If so' for what year and by what date must the poll tax be paid to give a ,' peirson the right to vote in said prt , maryf Answer 1 That'i the committee holds. In view of. the fact -that in all , former city primaries,; the payment or poij tax, nae not oeen aeciarea s, prerequisite to entitle a person to vote In said primaries, . any Democrat otherwise, qualified to vote In the general municipal election, to be held In May, 1907, shall not be debarred from voting: in the coming Democratic city primaries, because he has not paid his poll tax for the year 1906 or any previous year. Question 2 If a person did "reside for a period of four months in a new ward In territory not embraced In the limits of the city f Charlotte prior to the city charter of 1907, but such person within less than four month prior to the 7th day ot May. 1907, the date of the coming muni cipal .election, removed directly Into a new ward In territory not embraced mithln the limits of the city of Char lotte prior to said city charter, will such, person be entitled to register and vote In. said primaries, and, If so, In what ward, the one from which he removed or to which 'he removed t Answer JYei If otherwise quali fied. But he must register and vote In ward from which he removed. Question 8 If a person did reside for four months or more In one of the new wards In territory not embraced jn the limits of the city prior to the. city charter and within less than four months prior to the 7th day of May, 1907, removed directly In point of time Into any one of the four old wards in the city, will he be entitled to register and vote, and. If so, In which of the wards, fhe new ward from which he removed or the old ward Into which he removed? . Answer i Ten. In the new ward from which he removed, if otherwise qualified. ' Question 4 If any, person, four months or more prior to the 7th day of May, 1907, remove from any town ship in Mecklenburg Into territory embraced within the present limits of the city of Charlotte and there resided for two months and then remove from that territory into a different ward of the city of Char lotte and there will have resided for at least two months prior to the 7th day of May. 1907, will he be entitled to participate in said primaries and if so in what ward, the one to which ha first removed or the one Into whJch he last removed t - Answer 4 No. Four months' resi dence In some one ward (new or old) Is a necessary prerequisite to entitle a person to vote In any ward. Question 5 If any pemon cast his ballot for a Republican candidate for the Legislature In the general election , of 10, will he be entitled to particl ' pate In said primaries? Answer 5 Rule 7 answers this question. We construe rule 7 to per fmlt any Democrat to vote in this prl ; mary who did not .vote for more than one Republican candidate for the Leg' Islature In the lant State election. This answer wax adopted at the re quest ot Chairman Dowd. Before It was .adopted Mr. R. T. Cansler had moved that the following answer be mads to question 6: "No man who participated In the ' Democratic primaries which nominat ed candidates for the Legislature In ltOg and then voted for a Republican candidate for, the Legislature In the general ensuing election should be en ' titled to vote In the coming municipal primaries,' But a man who did not ',! participate in the Democratlo prl .marles in llOt, which nominated said legislative candidates, and voted for but one Republican candidate for the Legislature In the general election, 7 shall be entitled to vote In the opm- lor municipal-primary." ' There was considerable discussion 5. at this Juncture,- Mr. Dowd said that as the question affected hJm personal u ? ha would offer as substitute to Mr. Cansler's motion, that the anawet glveft abovs to 'Question l b adopted. He appealed to the committee direct ly to make this ruling. The commit tee responded to his appeal, adopting hla substitute by vote of I to I, and It stands as the official answer ; to Question I.

President Heath's of ficial circular Issued ; to the pufblic Wednesday la reproduced from The Observer Of the 21st. It follows: "Charlotte, March 20, 1907. "A shortage ot $68,000 In the cash of the bank was discovered Monday, the 18th inst The. assistant cashier, Frano H. Jones, la missing. He is bonded In two strohg surety compa nies for an aggregate of $20,000. "The total loss to tne bank will ne approximately $48,000, which . will come out of the undivided profits and surplus fund of the bank, leaving not only its capital of $125,000 untouched, but in addition a surplus fund or $50,000 "The business will be continued without interruption. "B. D. HEATH, "President" This extra deficit of $5,000 was un earthed either before or shortly after the expert auditors arrived last' week. For the past 10 days they have been poring over the books of the Institu tion. Thus far they have discovered nothing. All of the Items have not yet been checked up In full for many of them required out--oMown corres pondence and connections which re quired time. It is believed that every thtnsr will be finished early next week. In view of the fact that most of the accounts liable to have been tam pered with have been examined and found intact, it is hardly probable that any further shortage will be dlscioseo When the auditors have submitted their official and final-report, rt Is be lieved that the deficit of the abscond ing assistant cashier will be what it Is rrow. to-Wit. $78,000. Nothing of a definite nature has yet been heard of Franc H. Jones, the missing man. He has evidently for gotten his late friends for not even a souvenir postal card has been re ceived from him. While there Is life there is hope, and he may come to his senses later and remember his Char lotte acquaintances, but It is hardly probable. He certainly has not yet niw to "that unknown land from Which no souvenir postal come." WORLD'S BILLIARD CHAMPIONS. Buford Pool Room Decorated With IntowwtJnir lli-tiirr KloftWOIl.

The game was play ed by an 18-inch balk line, 2 shots. Billiard players will understand how much more difficult Is this game than the game In which one is allowed to 'nure the cushion." The pictures of the champions were attracting no little attention yester day. Partnerhli In Drrssroaklng.

The fact that the :.play teaches a lesson doesn't detract from enjoyment of it. It's a rebuke to thehy pocrlte, the long-faced churchman, whoso heart Is devoid of charity and who seeks to injure another ratherthan to help him.

John Hart was placed in a sanitarium, also Jonas Carter, who became very vio lent. Col. M. B. Bollard died yester day. This brings the fatalities Up to fifty-seven in a month. A prominent physician has published a statement that lnnuensa or grip Is one of the easiest troubles to cure If taken In time, but If allowe dto linger will frequently take a disastrous turn on short notice The treatment is very simple: Stimulate the blood circula tion, heal the mucous membranes and keep the bowels normal. For this he advises the use ot what Is known as the Greek formula. This is as follows: "Two ounces of glyc erine, half-ounce Concentrated oil of pine, eight ounces of good whiskey or Jamaica rum; mix in a ten-ounce bottle and shake thoroughly and use In tablespoon doses every .four hours." These Ingredients can be ob tained from any good prescription druggist. The only care necessary Is to be sure to get the genuine "Concentrated" oil of pine. .It al ways comes put up for dispensing In half-ounce vials, each enclosed In a screw-top case, which keeps out the and legislatures legislate and say that railways must use tha block system to protect human life.

Catarrh Which usually commences with cold In head, Hay Fever, rapidly In fects the mucous membrane of the throat, and leads to graver compli cations, unless promptly attended to. We recommend King's Sarsaparllla Internally to purify the blood, and direct treatment with Dr. King's Ca tarrh Remedy (a douche comes with each bottle). It gains a foothold from which it is hard to dislodge. With treatment' of these two medi cines any ordinary case, .will yield quicklythe very worst cases will be greatly relieved.

Don't make the mistake of getting any of the oils sold in bulk, patent medicines put on the market in some localities and called "Oil of Pine.". The "Concentrated" oil of pine a also used bp mixing with hot lard and rubbing on the cheat and throat. It will prove very effective. Just what causes the "grip" has never been fully determined, but scientists seem to generally agree on the germ theory. Howeveo it Is very evident that anything that stimulates and strengthens the mucous mem branes succeeds" immediately In com bating the disease. The active prin ciple of pine has been since the days of the ancients acknowledged as the greatest stimulant and healer for the mucous membrane and the modern product. "Concentrated" oil of pine, when used according to the above formula, works wonders on these membranes of the nose, throat and lungs. The worst' feature of "grip" Is that If not quickly checked will lead into pneumonia and hasty con sumption, as well as many other complications, frequently wrecking the nervous system. . '.'-.
