POLL TAX IS STILL REQUIRED.
No Question Whatever About Payment
 of Sl Per Capita.

From Arkansas Democrat.
 There IS great misapprehen- sion in some quarters with refer ence to the poll tax. Should the amendment be declared inv lid, the only effect would be that the poll tax receipts would no longer be required as qualification for voting. The poll tax would still have to be paid.
 The amendment at issue merely states that would-be elector "shall exhibit poll tax or other evidence that he has paid his poll tax at the time of collecting taxes next preceding such election.
 The amendment says nothing about the assessment of poll faX

cially is the fact that they live net in
ordinary caverns or holes in the ground,
but in cones or pyramids Of volcanic
formation which take all kinds of curl
Gus forms. In these cones are often
found comfortable dwellings, with
many household conveniences, ant; in
some are temples and churches and
chapels with columns and ornamental
tons in the familiar Byzantine style.
Paul I.ukas, who in the time of Louis
NV. and on the commission of that
monarch travelled in Cappadocia and
described the troglodytes, estimated
the number of cone dwellings at $4,000
and a recent writer thinks that this
estimate is probably too low instead of
too high. Strabo, the Greek historian
and geographer who flourished about
the beginning of the Christian era,
mentions the troglodytes Of Asis Mi
nor, and they are referred to by Leo
Diaconus, who lived about the middle
of the tenth century A. D. The cones
Of these regions are Of pumice stone or

"The Moonshiner's Daughter"

The Moonshiner's Daughter now
in it's fourth season of success comes
to the Keylor Grand, February 2. 1t is
described as a play of domestic inter-
est, and plot having been cleverly
conceived and wrought with construc-
tive skill combined with considerable
literary talent. The comedy is re-
fined never obtrusive and always in
harmony with the development of the
story.
1t is a play which cannot fail to in
terest those who like incidents in
which there is plenty of action and
excitement. Undoubtedly the greatest
scenic production ever attempted on
an American stage. 1t is a play for
the people depicting in a mastery
style the loves and hates of the
moonshiner surrounded by a danger
and excitement of Guiding capture by
the revenue men. Brimful of bright
specialties and containing the cele-
brated Moonshiners Quartette, who
sing the latest music of the day.

winding stairway. Sometimes houses
composed of blocks of pumice stone are
found in front of the cone dwellings
and connected with them, and, again,
cliff dwellings are found in conjunc-
ton with the abodes in the interior Of
the cones. Rich cave dwellers some
times have houses made of blocks Of
stone, behind which their apartments
ascend into the cones above or run
back into the hillside or even beneath
the earth upon which their vineyards
grow or their fiocks feed. This affords
very convenient means of concealing
crops and wealth of various kinds in
land where property is none too safe

strange aspect which the cones would

the eggs which they produce. In other
villages there are cones within which
are chapels or churches. and in some
