SCrubbinp Device,

In the ordinary process of washing
textile goods by hand it is customary
to rub the goods over corrugated
washboards or like surfaces, by which
with the aid of water and some deter
gent substances the scrubbing serves
to remove the dirt. The object of the
device shown in the accompanying IL
lustration is to reverse this method.
1t consists Of an arrangement of Sc
ries Of flexible pockets capable OF
compression, so as to produce a vac
uum and suction through the goods

TRUTH ABOUT The
POLL TAX LIST
How the Deputy Clerk Charged
$I,7I0.o4 For Printing Poll
Tax List.

AS this paper was instrumental in
bringing before the public the matter
of the Clerks fee of 81, 7l9. O4 present
ed to the Board of Supervisors for
making the 1908 poll tax list, which
pblication has been widely comment
ed on, and perhaps erroneous impress
sions made, we have taken good
deal of time and pains 10 get at the
bottom facts, and set out the whole
matter in full so that the clerks may
be clearly understood, and incidental
ly, other court clerks in the state may
be interested. The statements given
here are all authentic, and concurred
in by the treasurer, the clerk, Mr..
S. NJ. Graham, and his deputy, Mr..
a. B. Buchanan.
Mr.. Buchanan, the deputy Clerk,
asks that we state that he, alone,
and not Mr.. Graham, the clerk, is
responsible for the bill as made out
and presented TO the Board of Super.
visors for 81, 7l9. 04, which was turned
down 10y the board. Mr.. Buchanan
presented the bill because he believed
il lawful, and the only thing he
could do, but if in error is anxious
10 be put right.
TO begin at the beginning:
The law prescribe" That the treas
urer of each county and city shall, at
least five months before the second
Tuesday in June, and each regular
election i'm November, file with the
Circuit Court of his county, or of the
corporation court OF his city, list
of persons in his county or city who
have paid not later tnan six months
prior To such election, the state poll
taxes required 10y the Constitution of
this state during the three years next
preceding that in which such election
is held, which list shall be arranged
alphabetically by magisterial dis
tricts or wards, shall state the white
and colored votes separately, and
shall he verified by the oath of the
treasurer.
1.-THE clerk, within ten days Of
receipt of the list shall make and
certify sufficient number of copies
thereof, and shall deliver one copy
for each voting place in his county
or city 10 the sheriff or sergeant of
the city, whose duty il shall be 10
post one copy without delay at each
of the voting places, - etc.
Under this law the treasurer made
out the list of the voters of the
county in the form and manner

ring of pathos in the speakers voice

boyhood home. 1t was fitting that
Judge Graham was chosen for the oc-
casion. He was INTRODUCED by Rev
Mr.. Moss, a son of old England,
who also gave short and interesting
talk at the close of the Judges
speech. The Pocahontas brass band
furnished sweet and inspiring music
for the day. There was ball game
A good dinner for every one, and

which seemed best to him. The law
does not prescribe the partiuclar
form i'm which the list shall be got
ten up, and here the whole trouble,
perhaps, originated, rs will be seen
later. The old law under which the
list was printed heretofore reads as:
For making and certifying
such lists the treasurer shall be
allowed three cents for each ten
words, counting initials as words,
and the clerk for copying and GER
tifying the same shall be allowed two
cents for each ten words, counting in
itialS as words, for the first copy, and
the actual, reasonable cost of print
ing or otherwise making, in the
cheapest way obtainable, the other
copies which he is required to make.
The sheriff or sargeant posting the
lists shall receive twenty-five cents
for each list he posts, - etc. Under
this law the lists have been gotten
out heretofore, i'm the printing offices,
at a cost on an average OF about$100. =
90. Including clerks and treasurers
fees the cost has been about $500 all
told.
The law was amended by the last
Legislature, and in addition To 1.-The
two cents for each ten words for the
first copy allowed the clerkswas ad-
ded"one half cent for each ten words
for all ether copies required TO be
made" counting initials as words.
The amended law reads: For MAX
ing and certifying such lists the
treasurer shall be allowed three cents
as words, and the clerk for copying
and certifying the same shall be al
lowed two cents for each ten words,
countinginitials as words, for the first
copy, and one-half cent for each ten
words for all other copies required TO
be made
Under the law rs amended the court
officers made out and printed on n
typewriter and mimeograph 80 copies
of the list, as handed in by the
treasurer. The cost OF the first copy
was Sl0l.l2; for the remaining copies
l,67l.92 making II total of 1,7l9. 04
AS TO how the counting was done:
The treasurer made out his list as he
had always made them out, putting
down each voters name, and opposite
the year or years in which his poll
taxes were paid For example
John ii. Doe, 1905, 1906, 1907.
