A colored man named William John
son went to the tax Office on Saturday
afternoon to pay his taxes. Tao as
sessment showed that his name was on
the tax duplicates When he went to
the Office he was told that his nsme
was not on. the duplicates. lie
went up 10 the court house to SEQ
Clerk OF the Peace Ijiggs about it. MIR.
Biggs said he knew his name was on
the duplicates.
lie looked at the assessment books
and found VIM Johnson regularly as
sessotl, and gave HIN a certificate to
that effect. Mr.. Blggs. generally in
un amioable mood, got in bad humor
about the way he was bothered wi til
men coming after certificates, whom
he knew were on the duplicates, but he
cast no reflections upon the men VINO
came fpr the certificates. lie said these
men We're assessed and they ought to
DO permitted TO pay then taxes.
Everybody who heard Mr.. Blggs eX-
press himself thought his righteous
Indignation was perfectly iustiiiable.
= The colored man Johnson took his
certihcate to Mr. Dickey and showed
~ to him, when he says Mr.. hickey
boiled over and said he'd be d-nd II
he WAS going give any more receipts
on such certificates.
1t is said now that not one colo red
man In five who go to the tax Office
are permitted to pay their taxes. They
are told by Agent Mitchell that they
are not on and that is the end of It,
But there is a rising indignation
anlougst the people that shows this
will not be tho end.
The men are assessed and there is nc
use In Mitchell living about II. Judge
Bali has decided that IA man who owes
taxes or wants to know II his name is
on the duplicates has the right OF nc
cess to the books. This being so ht
hns the same right to take a friend
along with him to instruct him how IL
proceed, that he has to have an IN

LEc1uRE ON POISON.

His experiments as illustrations and
his points were coupled with numer-
GUS Scrlpural quotations from Genesis
to Revelations, including the history
OF water and the Importance Of its
purity. He lifted n glass to his lips
and took swallow of the crystal
pure element, as God originally made
man who by his dlsobedience injected
the poison of sin into his natute, and
as God eternally redeems man through
Jesus Christ.
But soon will not dare to drink this
water. There, see this little white
powder of poison that threw in. 1t
Is still as clear and beau tiful aB before
but II should now take drink, 1t
would kill me. Such is the deceltful
nature and effect of sin. Now put in

scarlet color. Passages showing the
depravity of human nature and the
visible effects of sin were quoted,
Again. though your sins he ts scar

ing the spilled blood of Jesus slain on

cal was put in, and passage after pas

tion of pleased emotion ran through
the vast audience, for the big folks
liked II as we'll as the little ones.
The poison In solution was preclpl-
tated to the bottom OF the glass by the
affinity OF the added chemical making
a new combination. This, however,
did not show as the Evangelist held
the glass of pure water up In his hand.

"poison detective" that turned the
first solution red.
He told Il touching story showing
how clearly little girl realized the
presence of God. Alone by herself
she was tempted to take and cat some
thing her mother had forbidden, but
hid it back saying There Dol, didnt
