HOTELS CHANGE HANDS.
Curious Effect on AIabamian Of Visit
 to New York.

The Carbon Hill Enterprise Democrat prints an interesting letter written by Tom Long, one of Walker countys pie turesoue characters, from New York to his friend J. H. Hayes of Jasper. Inas- much as 1t shows clearly what halluci- nations some Alabama minds experience after several days spent In New York, It will be read with interest. Here Is the letter:
 Gus Pearce and myself have bought the Waldorf Astoria and the Hotel Astor He bought the first and I the last mem tioned. We paid spot cash and each of us secured a great bargain. Next sum- mer I want you to head house party of an even hundred of my Walker county friends to New York as my special guests. I will have reserved the entire second floor of my hotel, The Hotel Astor,' for our special use. Gus Pearce says he Is also going to bring 100 or l5O of his Walker county fellow citizens and customers from every beat in the county. He will of course stop with his custom CTS at the Waldorf.
 By the way, this makes several mil lions of Walker county money invested in New York hotels, inasmuch as our mutual friend. Breck Musgrove. bought The Marlborough some time ago. Our hotel holdings will for the present be managed hS nereloIOre, ana our HdIneS will not be known yet awhile except as the men behind.'
 We will later enter New York pol- tics and propose to make radical change In the present Tammany methods. Every New York machine democrat knows what we mean when I tell you that Gus Pearce and myself have both resolved to go from our knees to the ballot box and from the ballot box to tba kat 1aAA tIar that, mi to II, methods as those practiced In the last Tammany primary.
 Tt Is useless to say that we will ar range for all our guests to have free transportation via special train to Sa- vannah. thence steamer to New York. provided. however, that the Alabama poll iticians haven't In the meantime made 1t unlawful for railroads to run special trains or steamers to ply between Sa- vannah and New York"

POLL TAX PAYMENTS
 COMING IN SLOWLY
ONLY 300 OF THE 12,oo0 VOTERS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY HAVE PAID THE TAx-PROPERTY OWNERS PROMPTLY PAY UP.

The tax collectors books of Jefferson county have been opened for one month During that time only 300 men of poll tax age have paid their poll taxes. there by qualifying them to vote in the elec- tions to be held in the state next year.
 The poll taxes are due October 1. and the books close February l. Every voter. subject to poll tax, must pay this tax by that time in order to become a legal elec- tor.
 One-fourth of the time has expired and only 300 out of the F, GOO voters in this county subject to poll taxes have re- ceived their receipts To make the vot- ing strength of the county normal 1,7OO voters must pay their poll tax in the next three months.
 The number of registered voters in Jef- ferson county Is something over 1S,O00, but at least 5000 of this number are over 45 years of age, which relieves them of paying the poll tax.
 The property owners are not as slow to pay their read or personal taxes as they are to pay their poll tax. During the first month that the tax collectors books have been opened, the receipts from the tax payers on the real and personal prop erty have been unusally large.
 The payment of the poll taxes are be- ing watched with considerable interest as primaries and elections to name state. national and county officials will be held next year.
