A few days ago police officers served q street\tax notice upon a negro, Dan Watson. The notice cited the negro to pay the tax or to call at the city pris- on to work on the streets of the city. The tax against Watson amounted to $4 and he had to pay the amount or work out eight days. This morning he rendered what he said was $4 but the money he offered was refused
 Just about the time police court opened, a negro man with cigar box under his arm could have been seen in the corridor of the city hall in front of the tax collectors office. Finally he entered this office and informed lne young lady clerk that he had come to pay his street tax and offered to her the cigar box in which he said there was 400 one cent pieces.
 The clerk said that she did not have time to count the pennies and refused the money. Watson went across the hall into the police court and 10 sev- the cigar box and showed them its con- tents. This action attracted tho crowd around, him and he was kept busy rais- ing the lid of the box. After the while he told Mayor Atkins that he had come to pay his street tax but that the tax collectors office had refused tho money and he showed the contents of his box tn the mayor. The mayor said that the tax collector must take the money offered and sent him back to that of@ flee. But again the clerk re fused to take time to count the cop pers and the negro left the building a few minutes later with them under his arm.
