PAY YOUR POLL TAX AT ONCE.

Do you know hat the democrats
in his county lost two hundred votes
in last election because of failure to
pay. the poll tax? 1t Is a fact and it
will be so again this rear unless the
leaders of the party wake up to the
situation.-Mount Airy News.
The above statement as to what oc-
CURED in Surry county at the last
election should be a warning to the
democratic leaders. Such conditions
should not be allowed to exist. This
matter of payment Of poll taxes on or
before May 1st should be looked into.
1t is time now to go to work. Don't
put off this important matter. Every
man who expects to vote the democrat
ic ticket next fall should pay his poll
tax at once. There is danger in delay.
Some thing might happen to prevent
1t being done in time, while if you pay
now the matter is settled and your
vote safe. The heads Of the state and
county organizations should take up
this matter at once.
The election next fall will be a very
important one. There will be a hot
fight for control OF the next national
house of representatives. The demo-
Gratis are going to make a desperate
effort to overcome the large republi-
can majority in the present house. 1t
is going to be a fight IN which every
district will count and every vote pos
sible must be secured in doubtful dis
tricts and in those now republican
in which the democrats have the slight
est chance of success.
The democrats Of this state must
make up their minds to return a solid
democratic delegation to the next on
gress. They cannot do this unless the
members of the party qualify them
selves to vote by paying their poll tax
before May End. 1t is important, too,
that our party holds it's own in the leg
islature. The republicans must be al
lowed no chance to secure control Of
either branch of that body or to carry
their local tickets in any of the coun-
ties considered doubtful. To prevent
The first thing to do is to lay the foun-
dation for polling a large vote. That
can be done only by qualifying the men
to vote through tie payment of the poll
tax within the time prescribed by law.
If this is neglected and after May list
it is found that several hundred demo-
Gratis in each county have failed to pay
this tax the party will enter the cam
paign terribly handicapped and may
suffer the loss Of n or more con-
.gressional districts instead of wrestling
from the republicans the one they now
hold. If the tax books are closed on
May LIST with a great many democrats
still owing their poll tax the republic
cans will have a great advantage Over
I'll party. 1t is best to be On the safe
side and be prepared to vote every
democrat who can be gotten to the
polls. We should go into the cam
paign and fight until election day with
the same zeal and determination as
if every district and county was in
doubt. That is the way to make de-
mOcracy successful. We must not be
content with victory, but must strive
to make it as overwhelming as posi-
BILE. The first step in this kind of a
fight is to see that all democrats pay
their poll tax on time.

MISS LILLIAN JAMESON DEAD
A Resident of Newberry, S. C.-She
Was Visiting in the City.

One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in Charlotte for many months
was that of Miss Lillian Jameson, of
Newberry, S. c., who died at the
Mercy General Hospital this morning,
at II O'Clock. For ten days Miss JAM
ieson has been a victim of pneumonia,
and from the first her condition was
considered most serious. 1t was
thought, though, that the crisis was
passed Thursday night, and yesterday
she was slightly better. The immedi-
ate cause of her death was from a con
vulsion, which seized her about 10
O'Clock this morning.
Miss Jameson was for several years
a student of Elizabeth college. There
she met many Charlotte people. At
the beginning of her illness she was
visiting Miss Helen Rhyme, in Mt.
Holly.
She was about 20 years Of age land
was a beautiful and charming young
oma At the time of her death, her
parents, Mr., and Mrs. w. A. jamie
son, We're at her bedside. Her mother
has been in the city for about a week,
her father arrived here yesterday

POORLY PAID PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS.

In an address made before the Wake
county teachers association the other
night President McIver made the state
ment that various counties in this state
paid higher wages to the penitent.ary
for convicts TO work the public roads
than they did to the teachers Of the
public schools. He pronounced this a
burning shame. He declared that even
graduates of the State Normal college.
Of the Baptist University for Women.
of st. Mary's college and of other like
institutions received smaller compen-
sation for their work as trainers of the
rising generation than was paid for the
labor of the states prisoners.
AS long as such conditions exist pub
lie education is bound to languish.
You may hold all the educational rail-
lies and inaugurate ali the educational
campaigns you please, but you will
not accomplish the desired end so long
as such conditions exist. You cannot
have your schools without competent
teachers. YOu cannot get the latter at
starvation wages.
Along with the campaigns of educa-
ton conducted to interest the people
in public education there should be
conducted one against the idea that
cheap instructors are just as good as
high priced ones. Our school system
is not going to be a success until that
idea is gotten out of the minds of those
who have charge of this matter.
We are glad DR.. McIver has called
attention to this matter. We can we'll
understand how the facts mentioned
by him in his speech to the Wake
county school teachers should make
him and men like him indignant. We
hope they will start a crusade against
this disgraceful state of affairs and
that they will be successful in raising
to a higher plane in the estimation Of
the people the honorable and RESPONSE
BILE calling of public school teacher.

In the Greene and Gaynor trial it
took the prosecution sixty-seven days
to put its case before the jury. Now
comes the evidence for the defense and
that of rebuttal by the government.
Then there will be a half dozen or
more speeches and a long charge by the
judge. We hope the jurors will be
free to spend their Fourth of July as
they please.

the other wood work on the inside. The
furniture is old fashioned. and has done
service for two generations, every piece
hallowed by tender associations. The
rooms are not large, but are conveniently
located. There is no porch, the exterior
being plain. Across the road to the south
is the old barn. now almost out of COM
mission, built at the same time. short
distance west of the house are still por-
tions of the old dam and the mill race,
marking the location Of the first saw mill
ever erected In Nebraska. 1t was here.
too, the elder Sheldon ground corn for the
pioneer settlers and for the Indians. Only
few of the old rocks are left, while a
little farther to the south, past the old
barn, is the remnant of the old brick yard.
In the. rear of the Sheldon house to the
north is a little cabin in a clump of trees
occupied by colored people. Everything
around the old house speaks of the past
and it is the intention of George Sheldon
to keep it that way. When the house was
built there was not a tree in the yard.
Every one there now was set out by the
elder Sheldon and his faithful helpers.

Home of tic Mother.

Across the little village of Nebawka, in
plain sight of the home of George Sheldon.
lives Mrs. Sheldon, the mother of the
republican candidate. pioneer settler OF
Cass county and Nebraska, a grand woman,
the widow OF a grand man. beautifully
rounding out life of usefulness, just such
a mother one would expect George Sheldon
to possess She is delightful to meet,
pleasant and entertaining.
do you really think George will be
elected?" she inquired. well, maybe he
will l have been reading the democratic
papers and they don't seem to think he
will be. If It is for the best / hope he
will be chosen" And then, her face still
radiant with thoughts of her son. she talked
OF the old days.
1T was In 1857 we built the house where
my son now lives" she said. 1.-THE timber
from which the lumber was sawed had to
be hauled for many miles. Mr.. Sheldon had
a sawmill and he sawed the lumber him
self. Some people ask me II those old days
were not days OF trials and hardships. All,
but we had such good times. There were
only few of us here then, but we were
young ana il seems to me now as / look
back over the long years that the young
people today don't have the good. times we
had"

governor George Sheldon gave up the man.
agement of his farm. This was turned over
to Villas Sheldon. George Sheldon found
he could not be governor and devote him
self to his private business at the same
time. The republican party wanted him
for governor. and again George Sheldon
had to sacrifice his own business. At this
time he has practically freed himself from
the cares of the farm, though a neighbor
remarked:
HE still has 800 or 400 head of cnttle on
his hands"
In passing II might be remarked that
some years ago the elder Sheldon retired
from active management of the homestead
and 1t fell to the lot OF George Sheldon
to take care of the cattle and attend to
that branch OF the farm During these years
he became an expert with the rope and
could throw steer with the best Of them
But this fact would nver have been known
outside of those who worked with him
had it not been for the chance remark
of that 9-year-old son, who thinks that
accomplishment of his, father is his great
est. But Mr.. Sheldon had given. no ex-
hibition with the rope and neither does he
wear the regulation cowboy outfit

Five sheldon Children.

OF the original Sheldon family there
were FIVE children, and all, with the ex-
ception Of Mrs Todd. are living. The de-
parted daughter left as a companion to
her mother a daughter. Miss Florence
Todd, just budding into beautiful woman
hood, upon whom has been showered the
love and affection of all the Sheldon family.
While her home is with her grandmother.
she spends much of her time at the home
of George Sheldon, and is a great favorite
with the Sheldon children, who spend much
OF their time with her. Frank Sheldon has
built an elegant new house on the north
east corner of the original homestead, and
no fence separates his home from that
of George Sheldon. while Villas Sheldon,
the other son, with his mother. Mrs.
Wolfe, the only living daughter, resides
within sight of the homes of her broth
ers and mother. 1t is a congenial family,
that, founded by the elder Sheldon and
those who constitute it., still believe that
in union there is strength.

That night he had a different remark to
make.
II guess Sheldon can pitch to someone
else tomorrow" he said. 1.-THE fellow
pitches up a whole shock at once and he
never quits"
And that's the way George Sheldon does
everything-he keeps at It 1t was while
he was at work out on this farm that
someone came and told him he had been

you get someone else?'
"Of course we could" said the courier,
but the convention wanted you. You
have been living here all your life. You
have been one of the people and you
know what the people need"
