WAKE COUNTY AND TIE POLL
TAX,

There are over 5000 Democratic voters
In Wake county-and in all the State
there cannot be found a better type Of
the ''unterrfed."
The result of the poll-taX requirement
Will not injure the Democratic party per-
eeptibly in Wake county, for nearly all
the Democrats liable for poll-tax have
paid it. Outside of the city of Raleigh
there are only about fifty to sixty Demo
Gratis who will lose their votes for nom
payment of poli-tax, and in the city
the number is not much larger.
The work done by leading Democrats
and Democratic officials to bring the mat
ter to the attention of every voter in
the county cannot be too highly COM
Inendcd. The voters owe them a debt of
thanks. AS a result the Wake county
Democracy will enter the campaign con-

qualified themselves to win a magnificent

WILL ADD TO SCHOOL FUND.

We notice that in some counties where
the sheriff has been getting credit for
1000 to 1000 delinquent poll taxes, they
have gotten it down as low as $50 to 200.
What an invincible argument in favor
of this new poll tax law, and what a
great help it will be for the poor chill
dren who need an education Wilkesboro
Chronicle.
The school fund will be greatly aug
mented by the law requiring the payment
of pon-tax as a prerequisite for voting.
Too many men, able to pay their poll
tax, have heretofore been able to escape
paying it and as result the school fund
has suffered.
The requirement for the payment of
poll-tax before voting will add greatly
to the educational facilities of the State.
When the taxes are all returned it will
be interesting to note the poll-tax in
crease for which the new constitutional
amendment is responsible.

RIDING ON PASSES.

The people of the various counties in
North Carolina, in the Democratic county
conventions that are soon to be held will
be wise if they refuse to pass reso-
luton making amy Democrat who may
attend a delegate" That is a very
good plan, perhaps, in some counties
some years. But it is always dangerous
and puts it in the power of the free
pass brigade to gain an undue influence
in the convention by a distribution Of
passes to their favorites, thereby some
times having a county represented by
men who could not be elected to a town.
ship convention.
Writing of passes, the following poem
by the new Commissioner of Pensions is
an original productions:
"a father said unto his hopeful son:
Who was Leonidas. my cherished one?
The boy replied, with words of ardent
nature:
He was member of the Legislature.
How? asked the parent; then the
youngster saith:
He got a pass and held her like grim
death
Whose pass? What pass the anxious
father cried:
Twas thr monopoly the boy replied.
In Difference to the public, We must state
That boy has been an orphan since that
date"

A ISLANDER UPON HIS STATE.

Senator Pritchard was promptly calleo
down in the Senate yesterday by senator
Simmons, when he slandered the people
of the State he misrepresents. The Asso-
cia;ed Press quotes Mr. Pritchard as as
sorting that the brutal methods practised
in the Philippines suggested some OF
the methods employed in North Carolina
called "sand-cure," the victim having
his face crushed into the sand to stihe
his cries while he was being beaten to
intimidate him politically
Nothing of this kind ever occurred IN
North Carolina, and Senator Simmons
promptly declared he never heard of such
a thing Nobody else in this State ever
heard of it except the Munchausen who
furnished the lie to Senator Pritchard
and for foreign consumption.
The Republicans must be hard up for
defense of the barbarities practised in
the Philippines when they find it neces-
sary to have a North Carolina Senator
Islander his own State, using the IN
vention of some native or imported liar
to manufacture a fake story
We challenge Senator Pritchard for
proof of his statement on the floor of
the United States Senate. Unless he can
furnish proof, he should apologize to the
people of the State that in a moment of
bad rule elected him to the Senate

with Mile Calve in the principal part. which means
that in the popular conception, the performance
was summed up in her-which means also, that
all discussion based on past present and future
artistic principles of dramatic vocaltzation has
nothing to do with the case, since Mile Calve is q
law unto herself. But both law and lawlessness
have a compelling charm and eloquence in her
case and there must be voice of acquiescence or
one of condemnation, which would lead only 10 un-
happy discourse. Compared with the previous per-
