PAY YOUR POLL TAX.

1t is an imperative requisite for
the citizen who proposes to exer-
else the right of suffrage at the
coming primary. to pay his poll
tax previous to the first day OF
January, 1908. This is the law of
the State. The poll tax receipt is
an absolute necessity to exercise
the right of voting. Those who
acquire their majority after the
first Of January will not come un-
der the provisions of the law.
This fund goes to the benefit of
the public schools. 1t is a small
tax on the individual, and is ex-
pended for one of the highest
purposes for which State funds
are appropriated.
The right of suffrage is the
highest prerogative enjoyed ly
any people on the face of the
earth,-to select their own rulers
voluntarily. without dictation, iear
or any compulsion.
1t is a patriotic duty. 1t is the
safeguard to personal freedom and
the essence of this tree govern
ment. Let every citizen make ii
his sacred and conscientious duty
to pay his poll tax, and do it at
once, and thus qualify himself for
this inestimable privilege.
Do not plead ignorance, nor the
want of time. 1t is of more i'm
portance than any other claim
that demands prompt attention.
WHEN YOU READ THIS.
GO AT ONCE AND PAYYOUR
POLL TAX.

Now, that we are about to secure
such a class, who have been at
tracted here by these investiga-
tons and by Invitation TO solve
this problem. to have the first lot
bounced upon in the night time
and beaten, robbed and driven
away from their work by lot OF
rabble who are irresponsible, and
then lot of brutal negroes en-
boldened by the acts of the whites
again attack them, one of them
murdered and another wounded;
the others robbed and beaten,
they being unarmed and no,
understanding the language
spoken here, is too horrible to
contemplate. The good citizens
OF this section are opposed
to such acts of unlawful violence
and will uphold the law and see
that the perpetrators are brought
to justice. A telegram was sen,
to the Shreveport Times stating
that this occurred in Winn parish,
which was not a fact. IL is TO the
credit of the citizenship of VIM
parish that every time an attemp,
has been made to attack labor in
this parish, the citizens and officers
have invariably protected labor.
