The Poll Tax.

Some lawyers seem to think that
in order to vote At the congressional
election in 1900 person will have
to show his poll tax receipt for this
year and next year; but others and
among them lawyer Semmes, OF
New Orleans, take a different view,
claiming that tie first payment of
the poll tax as prerequisite does
not commence until 1900 and that
the receipts will not be required
until 1902.
It is best not to take any chances
and pay the poll tax some time
during this month. Only two weeks
remain in which to pay this tax,
and in order to be on the safe side,
we advise all citizens to call on
Sheriff Strobe and pay up, and
thereby remove any doubts about
the matter.

Gen. Garcia Dead.

Gen. Calixto Garcia, the dis
tinguished Cuban warrior and
leader, and the head of the COM
mission elected Sy the Cuban As
sembly to visit this country, died
in Washington City last Sunday
morning, shortly after 10 O'Clock,
at the Hotel Raleigh, where the
commission has its headquarters.
The sudden change from the warm
climate of Cuba, with the hard
ships he hsd there endured, to the
wintry weather of New York and
Washington is responsible for the
pneumonia which resulted in his
demise.

RICE SHoRrAGE.-The prospec.
tive supply of rice for the north Of
Europe the present season is &c.,
900 bags short as compared with
last year, which shortage is deemed
serious, as arrivals are insufficient
to cover daily requirements. These
facts coupled with the d'stressingly
wet and unfavorable weather pre-
valling in southwest Louisiana
since Nov. 18th, show that farmers
are entitled to and should exact
top prices for good rice. The
situation is completely in the r
hands as it has not been in years.
