We heartily commend the action of
our county board of election commits
sioners i'll their policy of enforcing the
election law, disqualifying delinquent
poll taxpayers. This law has been on
our statute books for several years, but
has never yet been put into application
in tins county as we'll as in several
others, owing to lack of moral
courage on thu part of preceding
boards In consequence the good tax
paying citizens have become indig-
nant, and outspoken In expressing
their dislike at allowing the delIn-
quent to stand abreast at the ballot
box, exercising all the rights of fran
chlse. OF course when protest
comes from such source as this a
radical change is brought about. All
the counties in this list are making q
thorough reformation and in the end
this will bring about better sta tie of
affairs. No doubt howl Will go up
from the delinquents when they begin
to feel the reins tighten but let 'em
howl, for after finding it avails them
not, they may IN after years make
good taxpayers. We know the howlers
will come only from this element. The
time for protesting against this meas
ure has long since past, that time was
in 1890, when it vas being incorpo-
rated in the state constitution by the
convention In jackson assent led.
The officers being sworn to support
said constitution have no other pre-
rogatlve than to put it into effect.

Supt Dorett addresses through these
columns a letter to the voters on the
question of constitutional amendment,
providing for new way of handling
the poll tax, i. g., let each county keep
its own for school purposes. We hear
tily endorse every word written by
Mr.. Dorsett and regret that we have
not space to more fully set out the SOL
vent points in the matter. No better
amendment could be put on the statue
books, and 1t is deserving of the sup
port of every voter in the state.

jackson. The state departments
are constantly in receipt of inquiries
from various county officials asking
what effect the poll tax amendment,
II adopted, will have. on their coun-
ties. The views of State Superintend-
emit Whitfield have already been pub
lished. The county superintendent Of
Jones county has requested Auditor
Cole and Secretary of State Powers to
furnish a comparative showing Of the
result In that county of change from
the present method Of treating the
poll tax to the one proposed Dy the
amen tment. The following COMPARE
SOD between Jones and Bolivar, the
former being largely white county
and the latter largely black county,
has been drawn by these officials.
II state appropriation is 1000, 600,
less polls collected and Jones county's
proportion is 81, 900, less polls collect
ed, which amounts to $4,000, the
county will get from the state only
$4,000. Now under the new method
if the state appropriates only $3.50, 600
regardless of polls, Jones would get
$3.50. and retain its $4,000 of polls,
making total of 50, $50, or Q gain Of
$4,000.
Bolivar county gets from the state
at present $4,000 for her public
schools, from which she takes So, 600
in polls collected. Under the amend
ment she would get 81 500 and retain
her polls, which would be q loss OF
81, 500 annually. The per capita Of
each eduoable child will continue at
$1.70 az the increased number Of chill
dren is about offset by the enlarged ap-
preparation.

ing railway at Hatfield, Pa, ~ miles

The wrecked train consisted of 10 day
coaches and was the first section of
large excursion made up Of people from
Bethlehem, Allentown and surround
ing towns to Atlantic City.
The milk train consisted of two milk
cars and two passenger coaches and
had stopped at every station on the
road from Bethlehem en- route to Phil
adelphia. At 6:45 the milk train drew
up at&the milk platform at Hatfield and
in less than two minutes the special
excursion train, running at the rate Of
IS miles an hour, crashed into the rear
Of the milk train. The locomotive
ploughed through the two passenger
coaches and crushed them as if they
were eggshells.
The excursion train was a picture of
indescribable terror. The locomotive
was mass of bent and broken iron,
and firmly held the bodies of its engineer
and fireman beneath its great weight.
Behind the engine six of the ten cars
were also mass Of wreckage. The
first car was broken in twain and the

completely demolished. Nine persons
were killed in the first two cars and
the others in their coaches were badly
manned. AS soon as the crash came
terrible cry arose from the smashed
cars, and those who had not been in
jured quickly crawled or jumped from
the cars and went to the assistance OF
the injured. Many were pinned down
by the wreckage and had to be freed
by the liberal use Of axes. With three
or four exceptions the dead were killed
instantly, the others dying on their
way to the hospitals. All the injured
were first taken to shed at the Hat
field station and the dead were removed
to a barn. Messengers were sent to
nearby villages for physicians and re-
lief train was telegraphed for from
Bethlehem With fifteen doctors and
half a dozen nurses special train was
sent from Bethlehem, but before it
reached the scene Of the wreck it was
signaled to return to Bethlehem, as
special carrying nearly all the injured
had started for that place. On the run
from. Hatfield to the hospital three of
the injured died.
