Tax to be Settled by the First of May. If this is not Djone People Cannot Vote. Mr James A. Bell Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Mecklenburg County today gave out the following: "I wish you would say to the vo ters of Mecklenburg County, and es pecially' to the Democratic voters, that I desire to call their attention to the Constitutional provision, which requires the poll tax to be paid by the first day of May under penalty of the forfeiture of the privilege to vote. There remains but about ten days before the first day of May and I want every voter to take the first opportunity before that time to pay his poll tax. The poll tax must be paid anyway if the citizen has any property, and why not pay it before the first day of May and pre serve your right to vote. To vote and thereby express a choice of men for public offices, is not only a privilege, but the solemn duty of every citizen. No citizen should be so careless or indifferent as to cut himself off from this privilege of voting on questions and matters of public concern. "While this is what is commonly known as an off year in politics, yet it is by no means an unimportant election to the people of Meckfen burg County. The question as to who shall handle the funds and taxes of our County is more important to the Mecklenburg citizen than who shall handle the government funds at Washington, and this year we must elect our sheriff, treasurer and other county officers, as well as our legislative ticket. "As the Chairman of the Demo cratic party in this County, I am only anxious that men be named and elected to these offices who will rep resent the choice of all the voters in the County. I would like to see every good citizen go to the Primary and to the polls and express his choice. Therefore, I want to impress on every voter the necessity of paying his poll tax, and being in a position to exercise his privilege of voting. "In the primary in August, every, voter will haye some friend he would want to help, or some enemy to hurt by his vote, but if his poll tax is not paid by May 1st he will be helpless. He will feel it then,- and be sorry if he did not pay his tax. "Go pay your poll tax and be ready by all means." THE TERRIBLE NEWS HERE. NEW SPRING OXFORD THE.
