Under the operations of the poll tax law in Georgia, which excludes from the suffrage those in arrears for any poll tax since 1871 more than one-half of the total number of voters in the Cracker State did not vote at the last presidential election. Mississippi has a poll tax of $2, and the citizen who does not pay it cannot vote even if in other respects, educational and res idential. he complies with all consti- tutional requirements. Yet last months official return shows 29,371 white citizens who have neglected to pay this year. Their neglect disfran- chises them for two years. The num- Der of colored voters who cannot. or do not. pay the poll tax in Mississippi is 10000 and the actual number of voters who took part in last year S election was less than 6O.000 in a state in which there are 3OO,OoO voters.

 ''The two men killed were miners working in the Hardshell mine-first- class, good workers, but on pay days they would get drunk. The man who did the killing was also a miner who had worked at the Hardshell, but had quit several days before the killing, He is a brother of the man who owns the saSsoe at Hardshall. and his name Is FFGAeRsco Valdez, The two killed were ,tNe teal brothers.

 side of St. Louis by 74.> 900 majority. Last year his majority in the state, outside of St. Louis, was 37,000-just one-half. St. Louis casts about twenty per cent of the vote of the state. A considerable share of the political power of Missouri has, for many years. been controlled by the old confederate element. but as these former leaders from the rural districts have died. retired or been forced out by the new leaders. the political con- ditions established in the civil war have been of much less importance. Moreover, in southwestern Missouri. the development of the lead and zinc interests has brought into the state number of newcomers having much more progressive notions of politics than the men they are replacing. Eight years hence, if not sooner, Mis- souri, like West Virginia and Ken lucky. will be voting the republican ticket And why not?

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 24.-The printers.

paper was sold this evening by the Press
Post Printing Company, OF which Clarence
NJ. Jones is the majority stockholder, to
Mr.. Jones's mother, Mrs. Eugene NJ. Jones,
the consideration being 100000. Mrs. Jones
at once assumed possession of the plant,
and submitted a proposition to the men in
the mechanical department to employ
union printers, pressmen and stereotypers,
but reserved the right to employ whom she
chose in the news department. The propo-
sition was rejected. it being claimed that
the successors to the Press-Post Printing
Company are bound by the contract with
the Newswriters' Union. which declared a
lockout at the establishment a few days
ago, when the news department of the pa
per was abolished and an attempt was
made to supply news through a local bu-
reau. The printers acted tonight upon the
advice of Harry NJ. ogden, of Cincinnati,
who is here as the representative of the

Sale to he Approved by the Rigsdag-
Talks with Americans Re-
turning from Abroad.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. PA prominent
politician. in the counsels of the Ministry,
to-day told a representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press that the sale of the Danish
West Indies, it was confidently expected,
would be contaminated before the close OF
the present year. The King and the new
Cabinet nave both concluded that ii is abso-
lutely necessary for Denmark to dispose of
the islands, and a majority of the Rigsdag
favors the sale, as does also the public. The
only dissatisfaction the correspondents in
fOrmant further said, rises in connection
with the price, 50, 750,0O being considered too
small. However, the final approval OF the
Rigsdag is believed to be assured, and II IS
expected that legislative ratification Will be
given in Washington in December.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The Copen-
hagen dispatch summarizing the satisfac-
tory state of negotiations on the American
acquisition of the Danish West Indies is
substantially in line with the information
which has come to Washington from time
to time. The negotiations are still pending,
however, and it ammo be said that they
have reached a stage of finality. The figure
named in the Copenhagen advices, namely,
50, 5000 is approximately that under which
the negotiations have proceeded. The sat-
isfactory views expressed at Copenhagen
are fayorably received here.
