SID pi Ii adels WAS To The effect that lL
had a better influence In preventing
the Negro from voting than the educa'
tional qualification. At that time there
was a scare about the Populists, and
most of the white Democratic voters
paid their poll taxes. The Mississippi
provlsio nwas adopted by the conven
ton, which declared that voters in
Louisiana must pay their POLL taxes two
years in adv ance in order to vote. To
participate in the Presidential election
of 1900 the voter had TO pay poll in
'sS and another IN 'e9. But when 1000
came around it was found that more
than four fifths of the white voters in
New Orleans bad disfranchised them
selves by fsilure to pay the poll taxes
This caused panic among the politI
clans. L was evident that the vote Of
New Orleans ould fall below 10000,
being limited to the owners Of real es-
tate, and it was feared that the city
would 90 for Mckinley and elect two

awakened TO the fact that they have
oyerdOne the disfrap cbisement OF vot-
ers by the suffrage limitations and quail
ifications incorporated in their Consti
tuition. A marked reaction has set In
and the chances are that the suffrage
laws will be broadened so as to bring
in voters instead of shutting them out,
ss the policy has been. As matter OF
fact, Mississippi at the election the 9th
er day adopted an Amendment to lis
Constitution, which while it does not
affect the suffrage directly reaches 1t
indire city, and is in conflict with the
spirit of its present Constitution. which
was framed especially for the disfran
chisement of the Negro voters. In
New Orleans, at q conference Of the
democratic leaders, held on November
10, a densnd was made for mOdif1ca'
ton of the suffrage laws so as 10 en-
courage voting instead Of discouTaging
it. 1t was practically the unanimous
opinion Of those present that the Louis
lana Suffrage law is Objectionable, that
if will cut the vote at future elections
down TO sn absurd figure and that 1t
will prove Injurious to the democracy.
The complaint against the suffrage
system In Mississippi are due to the
discovery that while it was intended to
disfranchlse the Negroit is dlsfranchIs
ingthe hite voters also and is placing
the control of the State in the hands
of minority, to the great disadvantage
OF the property interests; and that it is
threatening the revenue Of the public
schools. The vote Of Mississippi for
Presi dent was 50, ,103-BTyan, 81, zoe;
Mckinley, 5,753 and Barker, 1,644
The vote for Congress, electing seven
Congressmen, was 81, ,238 or 7,177 TO s
Representative This is smaller vote
than Mississippi cast in 1896; and
this is what the political leaders aud
business men do not like-there is every
Indication that the vote will continue
to decrease from election TO election.
In fine, the law intended to disfran-
chise the Negro vote has come home to
roost aud is disfrsnchising the white
voters also.
Ia both Mississippi and louisiana,
in order to vote, one must lie abe to
read and write and must have paid his
poll tax for two years previous 10 the
election. To vote in the Presidential
election the other day a voter IN Mis-
siss1ppi bad to present his poll tax re-
ceipt for 8 paid to the tax collector in
1898 and another poll tsx receipt for s.
for 1899 paid IN that year. These pay
ments must be made two years before
the election, and must be by the voter
himself; for any one else or for any po'
litical organization TO pay or efteE to pay
a poll tax is a misdemeanor.
1t was circulated, and rightly, that
this provision would hsve disc0urag
ing effect upon the Negro voter who
because of his ability to read and write,
would otherwise be entitled to the suf'
frage. The Negro is by nature and en-
vironme Mt careless and improvldent To
ask him to pay 81 two years and one
year in advance of an election, when
he is not sure that he Will be on hand
10 vote. Is TO ask him to act contrary TO
all his nature and instincts.

Their Patronage Is Growing With
the Approach of summer.
The several resorts about Savannah be-
come popular with the approach of warm
weather. Yesterday many visited the salts
for day or an afternoons outing, though
the weather in the city was not adjudged
very unpleasant. The season has arrived,
though. when the excursions are very
agreeable and there is a large percentage
Of the population that Is Always ready
to take advantage of opportunities to en-
Joy the fresh air Of the country.
Tybee had a number of visitors, prob
ably more than il has had on uny other
day this season when there has been no
special attraction in the way of picnic or
military event. Thundarbolt, 100, at
tracted many, and the other places that
are popular with some had their visitors.
A certain accompaniment of warm
weather is a picking up in a certain class
of business enjoyed by the street rail-
way. That is riding around the belts,
proceeding to which many are devoted us

The effect is cooling and the greatest
discomfort from the heat is dispelled by
the motion of the car, and the tanning It
causes.

O'Clock, and night opening beginning at
8 o'clock. At the matinee besides the va
lied attractions that viii be especially Of
fered by the booths. there will be door

marily for children, are quite popular
with older folk also, and have been very
well attended.
The fair has been so well attended, and
the receipts have been so satisfactory
during the TWO weeks Of its existence that
the managers have no doubt of its contin-
ued attractiveness and may decide to keep
it open for the whole of this week instead
of only few Gays as YVES at first intend
ed; this matter win be determined short
~.
One of the special and probably one Of
the most enjoyable features of this week
will be the reception Tuesday night to the
ladies who have been so instrumental in
carrying on the work 10 its assured sue
cess.
While only an approximate estimate OF
the probable profits of he undertaking can
be made as yet, the management Is salts
fled that the net sum that will be realize ID
will equal If not exceed the first estimate
made. and that they win have every rea-
son to be satisfied with the result Of the
venture In the contest for the diam -ni
ring which was awarded Saturday night
several ladies' were announced by the Fair
Committee as candidates. Quite a number
of ladies received comp inentary votes,
but were in no wise candidates and had
no part in the contest Their announce
ment as candidates was in this res ect
hardly lust to them.

DIED FROM sNAI<EBITE.
Negro Boys Fatal Experience While
Picking BiacLberrics.

seaborn Davis, a 17-year-old negro boy,
died yesterday at noon from the effects
of snakebite. Davis was engaged Sat
urday afternoon in picking blackberries
back of his mothers place on the White
Bluff road. near the toll gate. He had
killed a moccasin, but was later bitten by
another snake, whose species he did not
ascertain. He went to his home where
he was treated with whisky and other omit
dotes. Last night he was taken with
convulsions and the physicians who were
called, found they were too late to save
him.
II is a belief with the negroes that
snakes are commonly found in the vicin-
ity of blackberry bushes. and Davis mis-
fortune would seem TO confirm this be-
lief. II is possible that the boy was hi.-
ten by rottlesnake, but the proba5ni-
ties are that IL was one OF the moccasin
species. The highland moccasin is known
10 be very poisonous though Il is rarely
seen in this vicinity. This is the fret
