PAYMENT OF POLLTAX

VIZ AuOsA JSs
mains for payment of the poll
tax, and still the rolls show that
hundreds of good, substantial citi-
zens have not paid and qualified
themselves as electors. The law
IS plain and mandatory, and leaves
no discretion with the collector,
who can neither favor the person
nor remedy the defect 10 any wav,
under penalty of law. Every man
must pay the tax by December 81,
or else dlsqualifY himself for par
ticipation IN the approaching pri.
mary and regular elections. The
possession of poll tax receipts is
made an indispensable quall6ca.
tion and it must be dated before
January /. The time IS short and
the matter urgent and important.
1t is useless now to argue on the
justice or injustice Of the law, for
it stands on the statute books and
must be complied with oy all who
wish to have a voice in govern
mental affairs. 1t ls therefore the
duty of every good citizen. to
qualify himself for the exercise of
his electoral franchise at once and
not leave the matter until some late
day, when by some oversight or
unforeseen contingency the time
will lapse and it will be too late.
If the person has rot sufficient
money to pay other taxes, he may
tender his poll and receive a sepa-
rate receipt therefor and at sub
sequent date pay in full. As Is
generally known, the poll tax fund
is applied exclusively for running
the public schools, and outside of
any political consideration should
be promptly and willingly paid.
The approaching State and parish
elections are events that should
concern every tax payer. Vital
questions, not only as to the selec.
tion of proper officers, but matters
that will determine the policy of
60, srnment for years, will come
up for decision, and, although the
time may appear distant. it must
be remembered that law requires
payment Of poll tax two years next
preceding the election as a neces.
sary qualification. Next year will
be too late and the wise will not
delay. Every consideration of
citizenship and manhood demands
compliance with the law, and the
man who, through negligence or
perversity, fails to clothe himself
with the elective franchise SO sim
ply acquired, deserves TO be con.
,idered recreant TO the highest duty
10 himself and his country.-Lafa-

NEW LAKE BOAT.

NNV W AAhI DVA1s
Ere spring comes again, another
splendid boat, q vessel new and
modern in every particular, will bt
in New Orleans to enter tue Lake
trade, and a business venture Of
some magnitude will have been
launched.
The bost is to run between New
Orleans and points on the Tche.
funcla River. II. U. Hayden. Of
Chicago, 10 the promoter, and while
Mr. Hayden owns .he boat, which is
now being built, he also owns the
splendid acres known as pineland, :,
on the picturesque Tchefuncta
River, between Madisonyille and
Old Landing.
Mr.. Hayden and his family now
live In comfortable little cottage
on the Plneland estate; they have
given up their home IN North and
iq the future will reside altogether
in the Southland, which has quite
caught their fancy.
Mr.. Hayden owned fine yacht,
called the Fora, and last year, with
his family, be made the trip Oh the
boat from Chicago to New Orleans,
BY way Of the canals anu great
river. The Haydens from the
first we're enamored Of the
South, and Mr.. Hayden. himself .
lover of5sport, mingled freely with
the gentlemen Of the Southern
Yacht Club, and made several
cruises on the lake.
While the guest Of Commodore
John Rawlins, MI. Hayden was
taken up the Tchefuncta River, and
be thought the scenery magnificent
and the atmosphere ideal. He saw
Plneland and its pretty summer COT
tages for the first time, and some-
one told him the estate was for sale.
Mr.. Hayden sought out the
owner, Mr.. Adair. and the sale
was soon consum mated, and the
Hxydens liked the place 30 much
that they determined to sever oil
Northern connections and come
South to live,
The land, however. was extensive;
in fact, too much SO for one family.
So Alr. Hayden, the capable busi-
ness man, conceived the plan Of
starting new summer resort. He
developed the idea, and as it stands
to-day, Pineland will very probably
have a fne summer hotel and q
number Of cottages for families by
next vacation season.
hIr. Hayden, after locating his
family at Pinelaod, went to Boston
and contracted with Burgess g.
Packard, builders of yachts and all
order OF craft, for fine lake going
boat. The boat will be l03 feet
long, 18 feet beam. and will be
equipped with gasoline engines of
NO less than 800 horse. power, which
will give her speed OF eighteen
miles an hour. She will have q
co,nmodious cabin, with accommo
dations for 200 passengers and
room for lot Of freight. The boat
will be completed by the end Of
winter. and will start from Boston
under her own power for the scene
of her future operations in the lat
ter part Of March
Burgess & Packard, the contrac-
tors, are tho builders OF the Che
wink LII, owned by Messrs. Z. and
r. Hardie AMI W. Glenny, aud the
Cricket, Commodore Rawlins' swift
sailor, both OF the Southern Yacht
Club feet.
Mr., Hayden is intensely enthusl-
astic over the South's future, and is
OF the opinion that the country will
develop into veritable EIdorado
He remained at Pineland with his
family all during the summer. while

STANDARD OIL DIVIDEND


 New York, December 15.-The wave ot profit taking sales which swept the late stock market yesterday was carried over into the early dealings today and during the first hour of the trading prices ranged considerably below last night. The course of the selling had spent itself by that time and there were recoveries and later some resumption of the aggressive Did ding up of prices. The market was the dullest of the week, however, and was de- cidedly lacking in animation and variety. The forecast of the bank statement gave promise of an improved condition to be reflected tomorrow But this has been the factor in the strength of the market all through the week, and todays sentiment was inclined to a forward cast to fac tors beyond. The call money market itself was stiffer and revealed the fact that any resources added to the bank hold ings during the week had been fully availed of.
 The movement towards New York from domestic centers seems to have been heavy, and 1t Is estimated to have been sufficient to yield a gain In cash In the neighborhood of s5,000,000 after allowing for the loss of s1,175,OO0 on the week s sub-treasury operations. Payment was also begun today of the anticipated January 1 government interest which amounts in the aggregate to some s4,2o0000 but which Is expected to yield not more than s3000,- GOO directly to the New York market Fur thermore, the dividend of $10 per share of Standard oil stock was payable today, calling for the disbursement of $lo,000.000 The fact that call money was higher again in spite of the series of recupera- ton was attributed to the approach of the year end period with it's large re- quirements and especially to the marked developments in foreign money markets
 The open market discount rate In Lon don rose abruptly to about bank rate in response to the measures of the Bank of England, including borrowings from the market and the raising of it's actual lend ing rate. The price of gold was also ad- vanced. These are the usual prelmin-

Ware & Leland,s Market Letter.

In volume of business the week has been less interesting than has been wit- messed in some time
 In point of fluctuations the market has
 continued to furnish evidence of exten-
 siye interest now being taken in cotton,
 and in the resistance shown to pressure,
 the week has furnished evidence also of
 the general strength of the south and the active demand for cotton In nearly all directions
 During the early part of the week we had something of decline, following the census report. showing more cotton gnned
 than had been expected, and this led to extensive hammering by professional op-
 orators and the creation of a considerable
 short interest
 l When January got to a basis of llA
 cents, with cotton in the south 1lh and 1 1iA 1t was evident to unprejudiced ob- 1 servers that there was trouble ahead for those who were selling short so much 1 below parity with southern markets.
 An extensive effort was made, however, l to bring out as much cotton as possible
 and this effort succeeded in dislodgng
 some May and March that carried the last named option to 111a. l Following the decline there was general
 buying and the effort to cover lifted prices half a cent very quickly. At one time this morning prices were nearly 60 points from the low level of the week.
 As far as the cotton outok is concerned we find it difficult to believe that any radical change Is possible in the situa- l ton at this season of the year. l There Is cotton in the south that will be 1 sold on advances over 12 cents.
