We do not want to see Second
street torn to pieces and made hide.
ous-looking to all strangers who
may come to Town. Neither do
we want people who may be un-
lucky enough to live along the line
of the proposed levee, and are COM
PEELED to at all times come out of
their houses, run the risk of break
ing their neck whenever they cross
the pits which the State contrac-
tors will undoubtedly leave after
they have finished their job. But
we would like to see an elevated
road bed in the street, uniform in
every particular, and answering
both the purpose of street and le-
wee. Such piece of work is east
ly constructed, and will not cost a
great deal more than a common
levee. And the greatest of all
things in its favor is-after you
build it once you have it forever.
Ornament and make nice-looking
the streets of the Town in which
you live; do not hesitate and re-
fuse to lend a helping hand in this
propo sed work.

Convention has provided in article
thirteen, on suffrage and eligibility,
that payment Of poll tax shall be a
prerequisite qualification to VOTE
Also that no person betting upon
the result of an election shall be
permitted to vote. Another most
excellent provision in this article is
that any one who buys or sells a
vote shall not be allowed the right
Of suffrage, and that any one who
shall be guilty of bribery or fraud
shall not be eligible to any Office
in that State.
