The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1902-01-04

We were informed that last year
only one hundred and ten OF the
white voters Of st. Nartinville
paid their poll taxes before the
31st OF December 1900, and the
number this year 10 not very much
larger, this means that ct the next
town election the vote will only be
ITO OF lees, instead Of 200 votes or
over, this shows that nearly 6fty
per cent Of the voters Of the town
have disqualified themselves -
voters, and when the town election
takes place In May next, those who
do not hold two poll tax receipts,
that il. receipts of 1900 and 1901,
will not permitted 10 vote. and we
presume some Of them will find il
strange and will do lots Of kicking.
