The poll tax.is very important par'
Of the school fund, and it is Of the ut

and conscientiously collected. We hope
that it Will be collected without difhcni-
tv and without any penalty attaching
At the same time, if there should be
large list Of delinquents, the purposes &c
which the polls are. applied are ci toe
preat impo1 tance to permit OF any iaii'

seven thousand voters in Edgefielc coun

NO one who has voted need hope that NJ

State, the fact will be found recorded on 2s:sf h

made n statement to the effect that the neglsse
then living in that Commonwealth, had entxfrd
into an agreement to kill all their white neg xh.
bOrs and enter into the enjoyment OF their bps
sessions. This led to the passage of an act nn
the 26th of March of the same year, debating
that mo person being an African or negro siftll
