TUB ELECTION. UW AND TUK
POLL TAX
Ye are indebted to State Chaarman
Simmons for the following summary of
the provisions of our election law dn
regard to the payment of the poll tax
as a prerequisite for voting. The inr
porta uce of this matter to our citizens is
emphasized by, the desire of Mr. Sim
nums to warn all citizens of the law in
full time to avail themselves of its
provisions and thus prevent them from
losing their privilege of voting in the'
next election.
Senator Simmons respectfully requests
eTl papers of the State to copy and call
attention to this provision of the law.
The following is the paper (prepared by
Mr.' Simmons:
SUMMARY OP PROVISIONS OF
ELECTION LAW IN REGARD TO
PAYMENT OF POLL TAX.
Under the 1 -revisions of section 13,
filacer Sy, Acts of lyOl, ca.rrving out
u requirement of the Constitutional
Amendment, no one will be allowed to
rote in the next State election unless
he pays his p.-,Ji tax- now due by the
fcrst of lu-xt .May. And it also pro
vides that before the person shall be
allowed to vote he shall exhibit to the
J'15ti'ar his poll tax receipt, signed by
the ehe-nlT or tax collector, and unless
this receipt bears date before the first
tlay of next May he will not be allowed
to vote. But in rieu of such poll tax
receupt the registrar and judges of ejec
tion are permitted to allow one who has
palid his tax within the time above 're
quired to vote upon his taking and .vh-
M.rioing an oath to that effect. And
any ptTson who. having paid his taxes
Within tho time above specifieil and hav
ing jlost his tax . receipt, shall, upon
TOakmg -affidavit of such loss, be entitled
.-0 a duplicate thereof from the sheriff
(;Or tax c-V.lector. The Jaw also provides
hat if t sheriff or tax collector wilfully
ails to rive a tax receipt to anv per
.con pajAijr his poll tax, or giving a
raise date, he thall foe guilty of a mis-
demeanor.
Of course the act provides that per
sons who hive become of age since the
nrst day of lust June, or who were
fifty years f ;1ge or over on the first
ay of lastJune. shall not be required
vto produce a poll tax receipt, 'because not
required by law to pay poll tax. Tbe

The' Post can most sanccrcly felicitate
the people pi" Raleigh moon the opiwr
tunity tht-y w:Ji have this coming week,
beginning- with, services fat the First
Presbyterian Church) this evening, of
hearing the gospel preached by Rev. Mr.
Pearson. He is one of the very few mem
we know of, to' whom the titb? Evan
gelist can properly be applied, and it
has become so degraded by sensational
ists and worse that it is scarcely just
to apply it where it properly belongs.
But Mr. Fearson honors the title by
the simple earnestness and Christian
love and faith and fidelity with which
, , B xns nani
aim ueuair orpine Master. It is the
Master, His love and sacrifice, that will
be 'impressed upon the hearer, and not
the personality of the preacher. He lis
simply a messenger, and it is the message
wnicn. commands attention, whose 5m
portance is emphasized by the earnest
and honest and withal humble manner
of him who delivers it. '
jS wane unto tne harvest.
and the laborers are few. Mr. Pearson
is a laborer whose good works alwavs
yield good fruits for the Master. No
one wiU hear him without a sensibiJitv
or duty unperformed and a quickened
aesrre to do better. Christians of all
creeds can hear him with never a fear
that one word will fall to wound their
feelings; all people can hear him greatly
to their good.

it is a privilege as well as a pleasure

Raleigh's business people, of all call
ings, should begin to bestir themselves
m behalf of Raleigh's future develop
ment. A new year will soon be here.
and the time is ripe for such enterprise
as will not only materially aid in in
creasing the business activities of the
community but do much toward attract
ing enterprising men and capital to
come and nnite with us.
It is a condition that confronts our
capital city and not a theory: a con
dition that involves directly the business
interests of the community. We need
more enterprises that will give employ
ment to labor that will attract labor
here to be permanently and profitably

requirements,
present and future, of the city and
county, would almost certainly be fol-
. lowed by private enterprises of great
I permanent importanCq and value.
;ow is tne proper time for our citi
' zen8 to think of these things. Ra

, ,
beral enterprise of the
; as goi an(j
mands more libe
character suggested.
Some of our exchanges doubt the r
statement that General Carr will be a
candidate for the Senate to succeed Sen
ator Pritchard, first, because the Gen
eral was a candidate last year to suc
ceed Mr. Butler, and, second the West
claims the succession to Mr. Pritchard.
Without reference to any gentleman
who may place his "interests in the
hands of his friends," we may venture
to say that it depends very largely
upon where the line dividing the state
into East and West is located as to
wnethcr General Carr must be consid-
tied an Eastern or Western gentleman
j A North-and-South line running through.!
1 the hal1 of the stat capitol, has been
insisted on by many statesmen as the
proper line of state division, while oth
ers have insisted that a North-and-
South line which would meander in the !
neighborhood of Greensboro should be
so considered. Who is to decide this
matter doth not yet appear.
If Raleigh is to remain the "center"
then General Carr along .with : one
others would be "in it"' by geogivik-al
right. Senator Simmons, though a res
ident of Raleigh, is" considered to rep
resent the east, so far as sectional res
idence is concerned. This would leave
all who reside west of the Washington
monument an open field for the succcl
sion to Senator Pritchard, the only mat
ter involved being the choice of the
people as to which of the many able
not to say willing gentlemen who will
answer a call to that 'responsible and
laborious position
We can not see, therefore, that Gen
eral Carr can be ruled out on account
of geographical location.
It occurs to us, however, that it is
the MAN whom the Democracy wants,
not simply a resident of a particular
section, town or city. At one time
both Senators for this State were resi
dents of Orange county and the State
is proud of their records yet. And
again, we will venture to remark to ail
the gentlemen, the malter of first im
portance is to be sure of a Democratic
majority in the legislature. Let us !3
sure of a good majority of good Demo
crats in that body, and there will be ai
doubt but that we will get a good an I
suitable Democrat to join forces with
Senator Simmons in the Senate.
Former Senator Butler is lavinz -an
wrath against the dav of wrath. Tlia
wasningron Post of yrstcruay says
"Ex-Senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina, the vomisrest member- the i
United States Senate has ever known.
nalrl W.lshinrtnn vUit of n f.-w b.-inrs i
yesterday. He lunched at the Saore-
ham and departed for New York on an
afternoon train.
I'm out of politics." said Senator
Butler, 'for good and all. I am now in
businass, and I make money and do
not get jumped on.'"
If he thinks he will not be "jumped
on
let him succeed in pocketing a mil-
lion or so of liquid-air profits, and he
will consider that former jumpings-on
were mere playful performances. Mr.
Butler is not to be condemned for his
change of occupation, but at the same
time we warn him against making too
much money.
That was a very delicate, but delicious '
piece of satire indulged in by Gov.
Aycock in his statement made to a Post '
representative and published yesterday
"for the benefit of the private stock
holders," that '"the stock in the North
-Carolina Railroad will not be sold as a
w ,
result of the suit brought by Soutn Da-
kota against this State. ' j
No intelligent private stockholder ever
bad such a fear, nor did Gov. Aycock
