Vote for Poll Tax Amendment

Secretary of State Power and auditor
Cole at the request OF the county super
iniendent of Jones county have fur
nished the following for the counties O.
Jones and Boliver-Jo Jones is largely
white aud Doliver largely black.
Jones County the state appropria
tion is Fl 200, ,ooo, less polls collected
and Jones county's proportion Is $1,000,
less polls collected $1,000, this count,
gets from the state S7ooo less 1000
making $4,000, which with the polls
collected and returned gives this county
$1,000. II the state appropriates only
$4,000 regardless OF polls, Jones
county would yet s3a5o, and retain lis
polls Slooo. II would then get So2so,
against present plan giving $1,000.
A gain ior the county OF s7sso ON the
reduced appropriation by the state.
Bolivar county--lt the state appropri
etes $1,000, 900, less polls collected, and
that county's proportion is $4,000, less
polls collected, $1,000, Bolivar gets from
state SI3, less $1,000, making SIS 900
which, with polls collected AID retained
gives the county $4,000. II the state
appropriates $3.50, 600 regardless Of polls
this county would get $40, 500. aud retain
polls $1,000, giving sIo, 500. agains, SIS,
600, or loss of $500.
The above shows plainly how the
poll tax amendment will work. OF
course the present unjust law should
not receive the support of any county,
not even those ths. are benefited there
by; bu, il is a duty the people Of this
county owe themselves 70 turn ont on
the 9th of November and vote for the
amendment.

Wheeler called at the war department
Friday afternoon. The general was
in the uniform of brigadier general
of the volunteer army. He looked the
picture of health; better than when
he left Washington for Manila. He
gave Gen. Corbin a brief description OF
the conditions in Luzon when he left
He insisted that the war was over and
that nothing more was to be done eX-
cept to run down few guerrillas and
irregulars. There was difficulty in
this work he said, and there was dan
ger, too, but its prosecution was not
war" Ambuscades were frequent
and annoying and it was not easy to
tell whether the hidden force was
strong or weak; three men had been
mistaken for a company, in some
cases
The general said that the American
troops are doing splendid work there.
They are sound and healthy and in
quite as good shape as they would be
at home, engaged in similar service.
This was owing in a measure to the
excellent care for their men exhibited
by officers and to the watchful precau-
tons of the staff of the army.

a Singular Coincidence.

In Dickson county, near Charlotte,
Chetham Long and J. r. Joslin live in
the same house. The wife of each pos
sessed three-mOnths old baby. One
morning last week Mrs. Long awoke
and discovered that her baby was dead.
No sooner had the alarm been given
than Mrs. Joslin discovered that her
child, too, was dead. Each child is
supposed to have died about the same
time, and from causes for which their
parents cannot account.
