propounded to him by gentleman 10 Lees
burg, has given the opinion that young man

-of yNrp
eeotioD at which he offers to vote, Is entitled
to vote without paying the capitatlon tax. The
capitaiou tax required to be paid before man
can vote is assessed en- those who are twenty
one years OF age. Tor the year before the cleo
tiou, and as the constitution designs to dlsrah'
chise no one who complies with lts PROVISIONS,
it does not prevent a man from voting VINO
could not be assessed from the time OF coming
of age to the elecion-hencc, those who como
OF age after the assessment OF the year before
be offers 10 vote can vote without being as
sessed. llo also decides that citizens OF the
State, who were out Of the State when the as.
scssmeut was made, and w,re not assessed
must pay the capitasion tax before voting, AS
it was their duty 10 be assessed and pay the
tax, when they rpturn to the State, before OF.
