RECEIPTS NOT NEEDED.
Law Requiring Poll Tax Receipts to he Shown
Doesn't Include Municipal Tax

The question has been asked many
times of late whether it will be neces-
sary for a citizen to show his city tax
receipt before he will be permitted to
vote. Yesterday a News and Observer
man asked Mr.. James H. Pou for an
ferred to section Is of the election law,
Chapter SO, Laws of 1901, which states
That no person shall be entitled to vote,
unless he shall have paid bis poll tax
for the previous year, on or before the
first day Of May Of the year in which
he offers to vote, as prescribed under
Article V, Section i, of the COnstitu-
ton
Section l of Article V. of the Consti-
tuition reads: 1.-The General Assembly
shall levy a capitation tax on every
male inhabitant in the State over TWEEN
ty-OEe and under fifty years of age,
Which shall be equal on each to the tax
on roperty valued at three hundred
dollars in cash. The commissioners Of
the several counties may exempt from
capitation tax in special cases, on ac-
count of poverty and i%nfirnity, and the
State and county capitation tax comDin-
ed shall never exceed two dollars on the
head"
This, Mr.. Pou said, specifies the State
and county poll tax, and clearly excludes
the idea of compelling the collection of
a municipal poll tax.

Kirston. n. c., April 25.-Mr. VIII
Hardison, Of near Kinston, was terribly
injured in a runaway yesterday after
noon. He was thrown from d wagon
load of brick, striking on a hard part of
the road and stunned. The wagon
passed over his left leg and his back.
The leg was badly lacerated and one of
the bones probably fractured. His back
was sprained and bruised in several
places.
Suit has been brought against Register
of Deeds Suggs by Isaac Lewis, of Wayne
county,, because the register issued q
license for the marriage of Mr.. G.. F.
Pearsall and Jennie Lewis, daughter of
the plaintiff. Pearsall swore that the
girl was 1S-years old. The father claims
she is only sixteen.
The anti-saloon league is distributing
much printed matter, and a course Of
temperance lectures will probably be
given in the Opera House next week.
Dob Sutton, a negro chicken thief, was
~arraigned before Justice j. G.. Cox yester-
day. 1t developed at the trial that he
had been stealing chickens for about
two years, and probably made his living
that way. His last haul was of fine game
chickens from Mr.. Courtney Mitchell, a
chicken fancier of his town. Policeman
Everett Crimson proved to be a good
detective in the case, and the negro was
sent to Jail in default of bail.

the total expenses for a student who

mum to 1929 as a maximum. This does
not include contributions to athletics,
etc, fees to literary or other societies,
spending money, personal expenses for
clothing, etc, nor travelling expenses to

what the average student spends per
year, probably from 1925 to $3.50. Some
students spend as much as $3.50 to $4OO,
including all expenses, while many others
go through college spending very little
over the minimum given above.

Dear Sir: The average expenditure OF
the students in this college last year
of nine months, including clothing, board
and all items of expense, except trans
portation, was $165; the minimum ex-
penditure was $104, of which the student
earned by labor at odd hours during the
session, S96; the maximum expenditure
was $252.
Our students wear uniform, live in
barracks, board together in college mess
hall and thus reduce expenses to a low
average. Over half of them do work at
odd hours, which We encourage, both for
its influence on character and for it's
actual assistance to them in receiving an
education. The amount of money earn
ed by students in this way during the
year was $3,761.25.
