nj any Claiming Exempticn Are
Not Exempt,

r An erroneous opinion prevails
in the minds of tax payers con-
cerning the exemption from pay
ment of poll tax. So many claim
ed exemption in this county upon
various pleas, and there being SO
great diversity of opinion as to
the construction of the law relating
thereto, that Auditor Haltiwanger
addressed letter 20 the Comp
troller General. asking for an expli-
cit Interpretation of the law. The
latter in turn submitted the mat
ter to tie Attorney General whose
reply is as follows:
Answering the inquiry of Mr..
]. B. Haltiwanger, auditor of
Edgefeld county, referred by you
to this office, I beg to say that
section 259 of the code of laws of
South Carolina, 1902. volume 1,
and the annual supply acts, pre-
scribiDg who are liable and who
exempt from the payment of poll
tax, does not exempt any one from
The payment of the tax merely be-
cause he ia manned, but ONLY those
are exempt who are incapable of
earning support by reason of
their being manned, or from any
other cause. The material factto
be determined in each case is
whether the person claiming the
exemption is Incapable of earn
ing support or not. If capable
of earning support, and between
The ages of 81 and 80, with the
exception of those especially ex-
empted by law, as Confederate
veterans, all male citizens must
pay the tax"
Some who claim exemption
should note these words in the
foregoing: The law "does not ex-
empt auy one from the payment
of tho lax merely because he is
manned, but only those are ex-
s1npt who are incapable of earn
ing a support by reason Of their
being MANNED, or from any other
cause A doctors certificate
Will not exempt an individual
when the law says he must pay.
Andswe will say in passing that
We are constrained to believe that
some physicians are too lax in
issuing certificates of the afore-
said nature.

BOUND FOR THE FAR NORTH
The Peary Arctic Expedition in
Search of the North Pole De-
parts from New York.

New York, July 1.-THE steamer
Roosevelt, in which Capt. Robert R.
Peary hopes to reach the north pole,
started on her long voyage Sunday.
Capt. Peary and a party of guests were
On board at the start, and remained
with the ship on her trip down the bay,
but they left her at the Narrows, re-
turning to the city on a navy tug.
Capt. Peary started at night by rail for
Sydney, Cape Breton, where he will
join the ship.
The Roosevelt, which had been lying
in the North river, opposite Thirtieth
street, since Saturday night, weighed
anchor and got under way at ten min
utes to three o'clock Sunday after
noon.
On board the vessel besides the ex-
plorer's party were a number of guests
and newspaper men who accom-
panied the ship as far as Sandy Hook.
A launch bearing a party Of excursion
lists attempted to run close alongside of
the Roosevelt after she was under way
and nearly collided with her.
The Roosevelt was saluted by all
name of steam and sailing craft on
her way SO sea. She passed out the
Narrows at 4:45 p. m.

OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL
Notable Celebration of a Religious
Feast in New York City.
More Than One Thousand,
Including Pilgrims From Other
Cities Participated.

New York, July 18.-More than 100,-
600 Italians c~ongregated between One
Hundred and Fourth and One Hundred
and Sixteenth streets, the Little Italy"
OF New York, to celebrate the feast of
Our Lady Of Mount Carmel. They
came from as far east as Boston and as
far west as Pittsburg. From 80 miles
around New York, Italians came on
foot, many of them barefoot as a still
greater penance. All day was spent in
simultaneousreligious festivities. About
the colony was scattered affairs of wood
and tinsel, before which the Italians
knelt in the streets, and on which
many of them laid wax reproductions
Of fingers, limbs or other parts Of the
body, which their prayers to the saint
would heal. At a street parade, the
rear end was made up of barefooted
women and children, carrying candles
melting under the combined heat of
their own light and the sun. Candles,
many of which were expensive impor-
tations from Italy, were an important
part of the festival, and it was eStimat-
ed that more than seven tons of them
were used.
Hundreds of pilgrims from out of
town were forced to live in the streets,
and 300 policemen were detailed to pre-
serve order.

SlCKENING SPECTACLE
Thousands Saw Aeronaut Maloney
Drop Three Thousand Feet.
The AeropIane which He Was Ma
nipuIating mt San Jose, CAL,
Failed Him.

San Jose, CAL, July 19.-Daniel Ma
loney, who had made numerous sue
cessful %ascensions with Prof. Mont
gomery's areoplane, fell 1900 feet to
his death at Santa Clara Tuesday.
Maloney made an ascension from the
grounds of Santa Clara college in hon
or of the League of the Cross cadets,
who are holding their annual encamp-
ment. About two thousand persons
watched with interest the machine as
it shot up from the college garden at
tached to a huge balloon. At a height
of 1000 feet Maloney cut loose andSbe-
gan maneuvering the aeroplane. He
circled gracefully about, then essayed
a deep dip. Suddenly the machine
swerved, hesitated and then turned
completely over. 1t righted itself,
sank down a considerable distance and
turned over again. Maloney was cling
ing desperately to his seat and evident
ly endeavoring to regain his control,
but all his efforts were in vain.
Again the aeroplane turned in the
air, the wings came together, and the
man and machine plunged straight
downward while the Mortified specta-
tors gazed helplessly.
A number Of cadets carried him to
the college hospital. His head was
fractured and blood was flowing from
his ears and mouth. He expired within
a short time.

Greenberg, of Peoria, ILL.,, who was
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. H. V.
Finkelstein, of the same city. Miss
Greenberg started after the struggling
man. She reached him a little ahead
of the lifeboat, in charge Of two life
guards, just as Mr.. S~alsberry was 90
ing down for the first time. Keep
your nerve, now" she said: "Ive got
hold of you;" and she grabbed the
sinking man by the hair. Placing one
arm under him, she agreed to keep
him afioat until the arrival of the life
guards, when both were pulled into the
lifebOat.

men and women, employed in making
sailors garments, went on strike on

hot that the strikers are elated be-

The tailors have a big treasury and get

the hot weather.
