active members to the Teche Club and
matters are progressing in a way
highly satisfactory to the originators
of the idea. There has been some
delay in receiving some of the equip

The municipal election is just ten
days of and then we will have a
practical demonstration of the poll
tax provisions of the election law.
Before citizen now can be counted
as voter his name must appear on
the registration books and he must he
able to show his poll tax receipts
for the two years prior to the eIec.
ton. II he has lost or mislaid his
receipts he can have them dupli.
Gated at the Office of the tax collector.
There are number of citizens in the
present town election who will be
turned down on account of their
failure to comply with the law and
some of them property owners. We
don't believe OF DISTINGUISHING any
white man of his vote and the BAN
NER joins the large number of papers
throughout the State in condemning
the present law of compelling man
to pay his poll tax before he is ELI
gible to vote. The measure, in our
opinion, is not Democratic, and we
do hope our Legislature, which meets
next month, will take some steps
towards having the present law re-
pealed in 1908.

the we'll of the T'Chetimachas Oil
Company, Ltd. near ChareDton,
on the Delhaye plantation. A ma
jOrity of the stockholders at a
meeting held on the 10Th inst,
passed a resolution amending the
charter, reducing the capital stock
to $4,000 and under this new de-
parture a great deal of money is
being subscribed and the amount
necessary to complete this we'll
will soon be raised. This must be
very gratifying to the people at
large and especially those of the
Teche country. This enterprise
should be encouraged and espe-
cially when the conditions for oil
are exactly as those found in the
great Beaumont field. Beaumont
oil experts feel that this we'll ought
to be bored for the reason that the
indications, which consist Of gas,
oil, sand gushers and traces of sui
phur in the water at this we'll, is
the same as those indications
found on Spindletop. Let every
enterprising citizen of the Teche
country come to the rescue and
subscribe their mite to raise the
necessary funds to finish boring
this well, which will be the cause
of developing and discovering the
greatest oil field in the world.

Hanna was shot and instantly

the Pennsylvania avenue bridge over the
Eastern branch to connect with the Capt.
tai Traction Company's line at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and 18th street southeast.
The Commissioners say that although their
past recommendation as to the occupancy
of the bridge by this company has not been
affirmatively favorable, yet circumstances
seem to easily indicate that at this time
the general public good will be best sub
served by the authorization proposed in
the bill"
The form of the BILL however. is con-
sidered unsatisfactory in not giving the
Commissioners power to fix the terms upon
which the necessary changes in the bridge
structure shall be made, and also in not
providing for the future maintenance of the
structure.
