Make note of all such children and sec

their work is finished.
The economical condition OF the parish
are not such that we can ask that they
do not leave school ut this season of the

FRANKLIN, La, Dec. ii, 1902.
To the Editor of The st. Mary Banner:
DEAR SIR:-As an insidious at
tempt is being made by certain
persons and interests to create in
the minds of the people of this
Parish an erroneous and false inn
preston as to the attitude of my
Office in the collection and pay
ment of poll taxes and as my atti-
tude has been persistently and in
sistently misrepresented, l have
taken the liberty of writing you
this letter, which l request that
you publish in your next issue, SO
that the people of this Parish may
get . proper understanding and
true conception of my stand in
this matter.
The first question is one of the
payment of poll taxes. Now nv
position on this point is this: lido
not believe that any man or set of
men have the right to walk into
my Office and pay the poll taxes of
a number of citizens, to get the
receipts therefor and to lock them
up and keep them from the owners
thereof, until they shall have de-
termined, at the next election, how
the parties whose receipts they
hold are going to vote and then
give them to the citizen If he is
going TO vote for them and to
withhold them from the citizen If
he prefers to exercise his right and

Paw Your Poll Tax

The thirty-first of December is
only eighteen days off and all per.
sons who have not paid their poll
tax by that time, and get proper
receipt for the same, cannot vote
at the State and Parochial election
in 1904. The BANNER has fire..
quently called attention to this
important matter, but if the per-
sistent appeals fail to reach the
political ears of the people, the
results of simply DISTINGUISHING
yourselves can be charged only
to your own criminal neglect.
When New Years morning, 1903,
opens, if you have your receipt
for poll tax of 1902, and then pay
your poll tax for 1908, you can
rest assured that when you call for
your ballot at the next election,
which comes in 1904, you are
going to receive one, because you
are clearly entitled to it. We
would like to see the name of
every white man in the parish of
st. Mary enrolled on the poll book
by the 31st day of December of
this year, no matter what his
political faith is. The mere fact
that you possess receipts for poll
tax, is one of the most convincing
evidences to all whom it may con-
Germ that you are interested in
your country and your home.
The political fight of to-day in
the State of Louisiana, and espc-
cially in St. Mary, is a white
mans fight, and as already
stated, we hope to see by the 3lst
day of this month that every
WHITE man in this parish has paid
his poll tax and he holds his
receipt.
There are three ways of paying
your poll tax. First, by paying
in person; second, by sending the
amount through the mails, and
thirdly, by sending a written order
to the Sheriff with the amount of
your poll tax, and he will mail
the receipt to the party who gave
the order. We have repeatedly
called attention to the importance
Of paying up this years poll tax,
there must be receipts to show
that this tax has been paid for
two years prior to the next elec-
zion, which occurs in April, 1904.
There is no necessity for becom-
ing confused over this law or over
the date for making this payment.
If you expect to vote at the next
State and Parochial election, your
poll tax must be paid by the
31st day of December, 1902. Any
failure to do this and getting your
receipts for the same, the individ-
ual will have no complaint to offer
when he is designated as sure
political nonentity.
