MUST PAY CIPlTATIOy TAX
Collectors Instructed to Enter Suit for
Unpaid Bills

Collectors OF Capitatlon Tax Bullock
and Mccoy were again before the Levy
Court yesterday afternoon for instrue-
tiOns. Henry c. Conrad read an opin-
ion to the effect that the poll tax col
lectors are empowered to collect the
capitation tax assessed by the court,
and if it were not so. there would be
no agency for collecting the tax
President Willis said that it was the
duty of the collectors to force the pay
ment of the tax and invoke the law
where resistance was met with.
Mr.. Mccoy wanted to know who
would bear the expense of LITIGATION
If some person took an appeal to a
higher court. President Willis replied
that it was for the collectors to deter
mine. and if they did not wish to en-
force the law, they had better resign
their positions. Mr.. Bullock related
some of the troubles he had in making
collections. and said beginning with
next week. he would add 80 cents to
each unpaid bill.

ST. Paul writes to the Romans about
the redemption of their bodies. When
African pirates seized Americans and
enslaved them. il was a delight, when
they were redeemed and brought back
to their dear homes. The Algerine
stories seem hardly credible today.
But man is sold under sin, and the
DEVILS captives may be seen around
us now. as satan's slaves show their
bloated faces on our streets. The Dey
of Algiers never had more completely
captivated subjects than they. thoHgh
the chains are invisible which chafe
the soul rather than the body.
The Blessed SaviOur.as the Redeemer
Of mans body and soul, assumed hui
man flesh to lift men out of this slough

RErrER APOLOGIZE

We said a few days since that the
Smyrna Times should apologize to
Congressman Ball. but we did not ex-
Dect it to do so. II made the charge
that Mr.. Ball tried to have Irving
IN. Cooper removed from his position
In the Census Bureau. in order to make
a place for Regular Republican. This
Congressman Ball stamps as an un-
truth. declaring that he did all in his
power to have Mr.. Cooper retained
There is an issue of fact, and we re-
peat that we prefer to take Mr.. Balls
word. especially when It is backed up
by the fact that the vacancy was due
to a-general reduction of the force in
the Census Bureau. and that no other
man was recommended for Mr..
Cooper's place
The Times should have the manhood
to admit its erTor-grantiRg that fl
was not something worse 1t now inti-
mates that as there are other repre-
sentatiyes from Delaware in the Cen
sus Bureau. one of these should have
been dismissed. and Mr. Cooper re-
tained II even thinks the Congress
man should ask the dismissal of one of
them and have Mr.. Cooper re-appoint-
ed Isn't that noble sentiment? Is
Mr.. Cooper any better than either of
the other gentlemen? And Is there
any reason why his claims should be
preferred? We repeat that our con-
temporary should apologize; It will be
hard to do. but a feeling OF relief
will follow.

Cuba


From the New York Sun.
The order is issued for the evacua-
ton of Cuba by the United States Army
to terminate the occupancy OF the
island by the United States and to
withdraw from that island the military
forces now in occupancy thereof, are
the official words of Secretary Root.

his term.
Such an event is. We believe, unique.
No country ever before conquered a
territory at great sacrifice, to set up
there a government other than its own.
