CITY ID TURN OVER S2,775 IN PULL TAX MONEY ID COUNTY Mayor and City Attorney

 February i.
MUST GET NEW RECEIPTS

The poll tax question will be settled today by the city paying over to County Tax Collector J. B. Francis all sums which have been paid A. A Gambill, the city tax collector. This will amount to about s2775
 Mayor Drennen received yesterday a copy of the decision of the Supreme Court. and after going over 1t carefully with City Attorney Edward Smith, it was decided to make this disposition of the matter. The last meeting of the City Council left the matter to Mayor Dren- nen and City Attorney Smith, with power to act.
 City Attorney Smith said sterday in reference to the matter:
 The poll taxes which have been paid to A. A. Gambill city tax collector of the city of Birmingham, will be turned over to Mir J. B. Francis. county tax collector. at his office in the courthouse by the Mayor, with correct list of the names of those who paid taxes to MT. Gambill. This makes it unnecessary for any citizen of Birmingham who has paid his poll taxes to Mir. Gamble to pay again to MT. Francis.
 Get Another Receipt.
 Those who paid MT. Gambill are earn estly requested by MT. Francis. the Mayor and myself to call upon MT. Fran cis county tax collector. at his office in the county courthouse and receive from him a receipt which will show that their poll taxes have been paid to the county tax collector. It is further requested that they bring with them the receipt issued to them by Mr Gambill, so that they will have no difficulty in establishing their identity.
 "It would be far better for them to get the receipt from MT. J. B. Francis before February l. but the payment of their poll taxes will be of the date of January 23 and the receipts will be issued of that date which is the day and date the poll taxes paid to Mr. Gambill are turned over to MT. J. B. Francis, county tax collec- tor"
 Delay Would Be Risky.
 This action is taken by the Mayor and the City attorney on account of the fact that only a short time intervenes between now and the the first of February, and any person who fails to pay his poll taxes

before the first of February will not be permitted to vote in any general cleo tion in the year 1902, and the voluntary Birmingham shows that they were at tempting in good faith to comply with the provisions of the constitution in order to qualify them to vote at this election, and it is thought to be dangerous to risk a further delay.
 Only $150 a poll will be turned over to MT. Francis Those who paid an asses- sor's fee of 50 cents to MT. Gambill can obtain refund of this 30 cents if they so desire by calling upon MT. G. c. Engstfeld, city treasurer, at the city hall.
 About 1850 people have paid poll taxes to MT. Gambill and this means that MT. Francis will have to issue this number of receipts. The city will miss this revenue which has always been paid to the public schools of the city. The money now goes in to the public fund of the county.
 Other Cities Settle Matter.
 Bessemer and Pratt City have settled the poll tax matter in the same way as Birmingham. The provisions in their charters as to the collection of poll taxes was the same as this city. Tax Collector Edgar Mitchell of Bessemer yesterday turned over to Tax Collector Frencis $520 and Prattt City sent up about the same amount. Lists of all persons who have paid these taxes were furnished MT. Fran cis and he will issue receipts for them. These receipts will settle the right of the holders to vote in the elections this year. Those who have not paid their poll tax for 1901 must pay 1t to MT Francis on or before February l, or they will lose the right to vote this year.
 County Superintendent of Education, I. W. McAdory says that all township trustees are exempt from the payment of poll tax but that they must have cer- tificate that they are such trustees.

 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a woman's medicine It is not offered as a cure-all but 1t is confidently recom- mended as sure and safe remedy for all those diseases of women which are curable by the use of medicine. It establishes regularity, dries the drains which destroy the strength and beauty of women, heals inflammation and ul- ceration ard cures female weakness. It is the best preparative for motherhood, giving great strength and elasticity to the organs of maternity, and making the baby's advent practically painless.
