THE WHITE RIBBoNEns.
lCOntrlbutcd.l

Wednesday of the past week be-
comes a white letter day In the
annals Of Shreveports history, when
quite a number of good Christian
women found courage to take a
petition, calling for an election on
the liquor traffic, on the streets,
presenting 1t to many and all voters
Of The city of Shreveport and parish
of Caddo. Having met at the hos
pitable home Of one Of the White
Ribboners, they held an informal
meeting, followed by prayer when,
as It were, led by the Spirit, the
women of Shreveport went forth
to take the initlatory step to gain
the voice of the people and decide
this mighty question, Every place
visited tney met with courtesy, and
feel encouraged to push on with
the work, AS a more central point,
the Baptist church will hereafter
be the starting point, and all women
of Shreveport are urgently invited
to meet Monday at 10 o'clock, en-
joying the hour Of prayer, even
though they have not the courage
to give their presence in the body
bearing the petition, BE 1t under
stood these good women entertain
kindly feelings to all engaged In the
traffic, but feel II a Christian duty
to do their part in uplifting what Ia
ruin TO many hearts and homes
Come out, good women, enjoy the
blessed privilege, and when the
snow of time throws les mantle on
our heads, may the good seed sowl
bring the spring time harvest tC

POLL TAX MUST BE PAID.
An Important Opinion by Attorney
General Kinsworthy,

People must pay their poll tax as
well as their property tax, and the
sheriff of any county can force them
to pay it. This is the important
ruling made by AttOrney-General
Trustworthy, as shown in the follow
ing:
OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL, |
LITTLE RooK, ARK,
To Mr. 0, II, Mcdaniel,
Prescott, Ark:
DEAR SR:-Yours concerning
poll tax received, 1t is just as
much the duty of each person to
pay his poll tax as it is to pay any
other tax, and if he does not do it,
it is the duty of the Sheriff to make
him do it, This tax is not privil-
ege, but a duty, Governor Clarke
says he never gave such an opinion
as expressed in your letter, If he
did, it is not the law. Tell your
sheriff it is his duty to collect the
poll tax, Yours truly,
Il. B. Trustworthy,
Attorney General

SubsOiling.

Wood Bros. have recently received
what Is considered one of the latest inn
proved subsoil plows, and last Tuesday
afternoon gave the new implement
trial on their farm just south OF town, and
it is said to have worked in very salts
factory manner, turning up the subsoil
to depth of 13 inches The question
of subsoiling is becoming an important
one with progressive farmers, and prac-
tical experiments have proved it to be
valuable aid in keeping the soil fertile,
and by loosening the earth to greater
depth, providing much larger reservoir
to retain the rains and give them up to
the growing crops as they are needed.
1t would be we'll for some Of our farmers
to give this matter Of subsoiling the at
tention Of practical test and note the
result.

Our subscribers and other friends who

have been very lenient in this matter

prospect of better times ahead we shall
insist that these arrearages be paid up.
Most of the accounts are small, but in
the aggregate they are an enormous
amount-more than any newspaper busi-
ness IN this country can keep on the
books and live. We have to meet our
own obligations every week and every
month, and to do this me must have
what is due us. We trust that our
friends will need no further stimulus
in this matter, but promptly respond to
this notice with an early settlement of
their accounts.

Another suicide.

Word was brought into town Thurs
day evening that woman had commit
ted suicide on the farm OF William
Allen, some six miles south of town.
Coroner Daniels repaired to the place
the next Gay, but the evidence was SO
conclusive of suicide that the coroner
deemed it unnecessary to empanel a
jury. The woman's name was Mrs
Eugene Kelley and the family consisted
OF her husband and three children
They had been engaged by Mr..
Allen to work on the farm during har-
vest, having shortly before come from
near Iroquois, where failure Of crop
compelled them to leave their farm, and
were travelling east in covered wagon,
when they were given work by Mr..
Allen. The woman had been at the
house during the afternoon, and about
five o'clock went to the grana1y where
the family slept and took the gun and
carried it to some trees near by, and
shot herself in the head. the heavy charge
of buck shot blowing off the whole top
of her head. The shot was heard at the
house, but it was supposed that it was
made by hunters, and not until her dead
body was found some time afterward
was the suicide known. It is belieyed
that the woman was temporarily insane,
as in addition to her recent misfortunes
the family some few years before had
their house burn down, and two children
burned to death. Since that calamity
she had several times shown that her
mind was affected and it is supposed
that the deed was committed while she
was in this condition. She leaves 3
family of three children, the oldest 8 and
the youngest 2 years of age, and her
husband to whom she had been married
ten years.
