Ducks i'm Il Rice Field,

Beaumont, Tex. In one night
wild ducks either consumed or de-
stroyed twenty-acre field of rice.
The incident happened near Sto-
we'll, about twenty-five miles from
Beaumont, Saturday night. About
dusk ducks began swarning into
the rice fields in great drovcs and
before 1t was dark the field was en-
tirely covered. The rice had been
cut and shocked, but the hungry
birds tore the shocks down and
what grain they did not strip from
the straw was so badly scattered
that 1t was practically ruined. In
the early days of the rice industry
the farmers frequently suffered
severely from ravages by wild
ducks. For the past two years,
however, the birds have been COM
paratively scarce and it was be-
lieved that they were being rapidly
exterminated by the pot hunters
here and at the breeding grounds.
But this seems to be mistake.
This year they are as numerous as
ever. They swarm into the rice
fields OF an evening as thick rs
blackbirds, and rice which has not
been threshed is suffering severely.

The Poll Tax.

Under the terms Of the new con-
stitution the payment of the poll
tax is made prerequisite to ones
qualification for voting The law
provides that after December 3lst
ones poll tax must have been paid
for the two years Immediately pre-
ceding the time of voting, and
the tax must have been paid within
the time when those taxes are re-
quired to he paid. As we under
stand it, one cannot wait until the
time Of election draws near and
then 60 TO the tax collector and
settle for his poll lax. The tax
collector IS specially prohibited
from issuing tax receipt in this
case. Thus, if one desires to vote a,
the congressional election two years
hence. or at any municipal or Other
election which may occur during
that year, he must pay his 1900
poll tax before December 3lst OF
the present year. Failing to dc
this he, by his own negligence, dis
franchises himself for the time be.
ing, and nothing that he can dc
will reinstale him in his right OF
franchise save TO bide bis time and
pay his poll tax regularly IN the
future.
AS it is the plain duty of every
citizen of free country to dictate
by his vote the policy of the gov
eminent and the choice Of its Off
GERS We trust that the paltry sum
of 81, which is rightfully due the
children Of tie state for their edu-
cation, will not be the cause of the
Acknowledgement of any good citl'
zen. In Mississippi the same law
had the effect Of DISTINGUISHING

ton; let ushcre in Louisiana bt
