Fail River Mass. Feb The total sales in
the print cloth market for the week estimated
10000 pieces. The market for printing cloths
continues quiet and featureless- There is little
inquiry for goods, and the amount sold this week
is much below the total number produced. There
is practically accumulation of goods in this
market, and the curtailment plan now under way
will help materially in offsetting anything of
this nature.

SUPREME COURT on POLL TAXES.

Yesterday was field day tor
constitutional legislation in Nir-
ginia. The subject was personal
prepayment of poll taxes, and the
law as laid down by ihe Supreme
Court declared the Salutary prin-
ciple that the Constitution REQUIRES
such prepayment to be actually
done In person. This decision will
destroy, 10y making illegal, tie
pernicious practice of paying in
bulk the taxes OF personal or party
adherents.
That hotbed of doubtful political
exN',iieu'S-the Southwestern
rice ihis scheme to its highest de-
velopment. Republican office
holders were Systematically assess
ed and the poll taxes of Republican
TRUSTEES carefully paid. What the
Republicans devised the Democrats
soon appropriated, and so far as a
proof of political interest was con-
cerned, as shown 10y the supposed
personal prepayment of poll taxes,
the law became a dead letter.
Right here at home in Henrico.
in the Hechler case, we had a
clear-cut example of the abuse to
which this provision might be put,
Now, however, for Southwest and
Tidewater, for Southside and the
Piedmont alike, the question is at
rest.
Also a fruitful and profitable
source of corruption in elections
has been removed. and the people
are that much nearer those most
desirable conditions when elections
will record the will of the thought
full, serious-minded, interested and
patriotic citizens, with the least
possible admixture of venal.
