IN SUPPORT OF
 AMENDMENT g
Importance of Its Adoption Urged By Secretary of
 State o. c. Ludwig.

The following address was is- sued yesterday by Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig:
 Little Rock, Sept. 4, 1908. To the Democratic Workers and Voters of Arkansas:
 The general election is ap- preaching, and while funds have been gathered from various in- terests to send out speakers to agitate the question of license and the question of anti-liceDse, anG also to urge the passage or defeat of Amendment No. 10. very little has been done to call the attention of the people to the adoption of the proposed amend ment No, 9 to the Constitutio of Arkansas.
 It is the most important issue before the people of Arkansas, and less prominence has been given to it than it deserves. The Supreme court has declared off, cially that tn, former amend ment, providing for the payment of poll tax by every qualified voter of the state was not legal ly adopted. therefore it stands before the public at this time as a dead letter upon our statute books.
 Every white citizen of Arkan- sas knows that the poll tax pro- vision was a measure that aided the school fund, as every dollar paid for poll tax went into the state treasury for the benefit of the school fund of Arkansas. Every white person knows that very few negroes ever contribute a dollar to the school fund of the state except thrsugh the pay ment of the poll tax, notwith- standing they receive equal bene- fit with the whites in the educa- tion of their children.
 The possession of the poll tax receipts was one of the qualifica- tions that a voter must have be- fore being allowed to exercise the right of suffrage, and this qualification has stood the test of every court in the United States.
 The adoption of the poll tax provision met the approval of all the white voters of the state ex- cept the republican politicians, who were prevented from voting the negro population for the rea- son that few of them would pay the dollar for the privilege of voting. There have been fewer election troubles and no negro officers since the adopt ion of the former polltax amend ment, and there have been no negro Republican politicians in

"BATTLEFIELD
TO FIRESIDE"
On Following Incident Mr.,
Phinney's Descriptive
Fantasia is
Founded.

During the Civil War, on the eve
of a battle, the Union Army lay en-
camped on one side of river, and
the Confederate Army on the other,
The day was calm and beautiful, and
as the sunset hour drew near, the
band in one camp started to play
Yankee Doodle. Hearing this q
band in Southern camp responded
with Dixie. Then came sort Of
duel of the bands, each playing ia
turns the songs of its own rank, un-
til, as the time for taps, the good
natured battle ceased and the music
died away. Then from out of the
stiffness, came the mellow tones of a
distant cornet sounding that melody
which appealed alike to the hearts
beating under the blue and the gray
uniforms. 1t was Home Sweet
Home. One by one the bands took
up the refrain, until, on both sides
Of the river, the air was filled with
the music of that song which for
the time bound together those who
on the morrow would have to face
each other in mortal combat. At
this point a confederate soldier came
down the river bank, and his voice
rang out in the darkness, whats
the matter with US all going home,
he said, What are we here for any,
way?
On this incident is founded Mr.,
Phinney's descriptive fantasia, called
From Battlefield to Fireside."
A production of this grand descrip-
tive fantasia will be given by Phin-
ney's United States Band at the
Tabernacle, Oct. Is.
