We wish to sound note of warn
ing to those who are neglo;ting the
paying of their poll taxes. There are
but sixty days in which TO perform
that duty, and it should be done at
once. Those who neglect it will de-
bar themselves of participation i'll the
next election when issues very impor-
tant may arise calling for the interest
of every intelligent citizen, who may
bitterly regret their Indifference. Ii
misgHernment ensues, or if abuses are
to be corrected, the man who refuses
to prepare himself for his duty as an
American citizen by armirg himself
with the most potent of weapons, his
vote, is unworthy the name Of citizen
and has no right to cry ont when mis-
government or abuses come; for he
has known his duty and did it not.
But aside from this there is another
duty connected with it, the duty to
our schools. Every dollar realized
from the poll taxes is devoted to the
support of schools. SO that the man
who refuses to pay his poll tax is de-
priving to large extent the rising
generation of educational advantages
He who could take from the children
a single advantage or Withhold what is
their due is unworthy the name OF
American and were all to follow his
lead we should soon dwindle into in
significance as people and nation.
Bear your burdens and thus fulfill the
God given privilege of all American
king the happiest people on earth

The past week has been an ideal
one for our varied indu stries. The
weather has been dry, cool, and bra
cling. Business owing to the raising OF
uuarantines is slowly recovering,
Our rice planters are getting in tho
remnant o. the crop which is bring
ing fair prices, for Honduras ant
Japan. Some cotton is coming in
the price is quite satisfactory, thu
gins paying $1,000 per thousan'
pounds in the seed. The sugar rolling
is on in all it's fullness, long trail
loads of cane are seen at all hours o
the day ON its way either East o
West according to destination. Mos
Of the sugar houses of the Parish ar
in operation with full complement o
hands, deliveries of cane are rapid ant
numerous. Some disappointments ar
felt over the price of cane, those VIII
are selling on the sliding scale, get
ting much less per ton than last year
while those who contracted for fla
price are getting better figures, bu
below past years. 1t is hoped tn
price will improve before the end o
the rolling, and not after all the can
has been harvested.
