Whisenant and Turner made good their
escape Ihey We're companions in hight,

streams. They reached Corinth, Miss. in

Macon cropped out Friday when it was
made known that a large number OF
citizens, regardless of color, are simply
taking the oath and having their names
put on the registration books, regardless
Of whether or not the tax books show IN
paid taxes against them. This, however,
does not contemplate the suggestion or
perjury, or anything like il, but merely
designates how a man cOnstrues the law
Those who have taken the oath simply
swear according to their own construction
of the matter. that they have PAID an
taxes required" of them, and they mean
by this that the city has never required
| any street tax at all of them, except Tor
the current year, which is an admitted
! fact.
