PAYMENT OF TAXES
ELIGIBLE AGE OF PERSONS SET
 TILED BY STATE AUDITOR.
Citizen Becoming of Age Prior tc October 1, 1900, is Liable for Poll Tax for 19O1-
 Age Limit.

State Auditor Thomas L. Sowell has re- ceived numerous inquiries from Tax Col lectors throughout the State relative to the payment of poll taxes by persons bordering on the eligible age. He has prepared an answer, in which he gives the opinion that a male citizen becoming of age prior to October 1, 1900, is liable for the poll tax for 1901.
 MT. Sowell said yesterday:
 T am of the opinion that if a person became of age prior to or on October l. 1900, he is liable for the poll tax for 1901. If he becomes of age subsequent to that time, he is not liable for the poll tax for 1901. and this rule applies to subsequent years. If he becomes 45 years of age prior to October l. 1900. he is not liable for poll tax for 1901; if he becomes 4S years of age subsequent thereto. he is. Attorney General c. G. Brown of Ala bama has transmitted legal opinion to Col. w. w. Brandon, Adjutant- General of the National Guard, in which he holds that under the new Constitution soldiers of the Guard are exempt from paying poll taxes and may qualify as electors with out such payment.
 A copy of this opinion was yesterday mailed by the Adjutant-General to off, cers commanding regiments and other branches of the service with request that the substance of the opinion be pro- mulgated by them to the soldiers of their respective commands.
 The opinion of the Attorney General is as follows:
 January 20th. 1902. Hon. William W. Brandon. Adjutant-
 General, at Office:
 My Dear Sir-Section 194 of Revised Constitution Q901) of Alabama defines and fixes the amount of poll tax and the per sons subject thereto. The amount is one dollar and fifty cents "upon each male inhabitant of the State over the age of twenty-one and under the age of forty five. years, who would not now be ex- empt by law" Section 2SS9 of the Civil Code of 1S96 was in force at the time of the adoption of the Constitution and Is still in force. That section specifically eXcmpts every officer. commissioned or non-commissioned, musician and private of the Alabama National Guard from poll tax and jury duty during his active II embership. Such officers, musicians and privates of the Alabama National Guard are, during their active mem- bershlp, as fully exempted from the poll tax as those male inhabitants of the State who are not over the age of twenty one years and under the age of forty five years. It should be borne in mind that this exemption to every such officer, musician and private is during his active and has no application to pay tive membership began or which. may become due and payable after such active membership has terminated.
 Most respectfully,
 c. G. Brown.

FIRST COTTON FROM WAKE
Two Bales Brought Good Prices in Raleigh
Yesterday,

Wake county sold it's first bale Of cot
ton on the Raleigh market yesterday, or
rather there came the first two bales
from the county.
The first bale came from the farm OF
Mr.. Y. Y. Young, of Panther Branch
township, and was bought by Messrs.
Johnson & Thompson for s 5-16 cents per
pound. This first bale business has been
the habit of Panther Branch township
for many years.
The second bale was offered by Mr..
J. r. Bailey, of st. Mary's township, and
it too was bought by Messrs. Johnson
and & Thompson, who paid 81 cents a
pound. The record of the cotton receipts
to date is one bale from Franklin county,
ono from Johnston county and two from
Wake.
a prominent cotton man said yesterday
that he expected cotton to come in rap
idly at present prices, and that his idea
was that the tobacco market would draw
more cotton to Raleigh, as the armer
who brought tobacco would buy cotton
and would influence their neighbors to
come with them.

Interest.

State Chemist B. w. Kilgore returned
yesterday from Steele's Creek, Neck
lenburg county, near Charlotte, where the
last of the institutes was held. He says
that that is a very excellent section of
country, and there was a splendid at
tendance of good farmers at the insti-
tute.
Asked about the success Of this series
of institutes, DIR. kilgore said: There
is a very marked increase in the attend
ance and interest. At quite a number Of
the places there is something in the way
OF permanent institutions taking form.
At the last place they formed sufficient
of an organization to insure annua in
stitutes. There is a great big opening in
the institute work. 1t is more encour-
aging than it has ever been before, and
the department is better equipped with
workers to do this class of work
DIR. Kilgore said that Commissioner
Patterson had stopped over in Charlotte,
and would join him neXt week and at
tend the Cotton States Association or
Commissioners of Agriculture to be held
in Nashville, Tenn, August &c, p and IS.
Commissioner Patterson is President of
the Association, and DR.. KilgOre is Sec

Jones, will be held as witnesses. or may

was present when Mitchell identified the
man who shot him.
At Rex Hospital every attention is
being given the wounded man. The
nurses in charge have agreed to imme-

will be asked for his dying statement. At
one o'clock this morning his condition
was unchanged, and he was reported as
resting easier than at any time before.
