THE TENNESSEE TRAGEDY

Tennessee's unenvlable consplcu-
business, recently brought about by
the atrocities OF Night Riders, has
been materially augmented by the
tragedy resulting in the death OF ex-
Senator Carmack. II Tennessee
we're the only field for recent atroci-
GUS outrages and crimes the remedy
might be found in correcting local
causes, but Tennessee is more con-
spicuous than other sections only in
that it is the more recent field OF
operation.
Certainly something is radically
wrong when men persist upon every
conceivable occasion in taking the
law in their own hands and admins
tering punishment and death upon
those who are the subject OF their ire.
Lynchings pale into insignifcance
when compared with the rapidly in
creasing instances OF individuals
avengiDg wrongs or supposed
wrongs against themselves or men,
bers of their families. We cannot
avoid the conclusion that the rapid
Increase OF this method OF violating
the law is due to the frequent mis-
carriage OF justice, whereby criminals
OF the deepest dye escape punishment
through the fictitious and ingenious
plea OF insanity, brain storm, un-
written law, ETC., until the minds oil
many with criminal inclination have
concluded that they can avenge any
personal wrong in any way and then
find shelter behind one or the other
OF these fictitious pleas.
Senator Carmack, with all his
brilliant attachments, is the latest
victim OF this folly. The prevention
of it's continuance lies with the
American iuries.

PAY YOUR POLL TAN +

The time has come when every
man otherwise qualified to vote
should be reminding himself OF the
years poll tax. The State OF Viz
ginia exacts, and properly exacss' OF
every male citizen the payment OF
the small sum OF $50 per year rs
hisindividual contribution to sup
port OF the State government, and
provides that this payment shall be
a prerequisite to the right to vote.
II you fail to pay your poll tax you
can't vote, no matter iiyou possess
every other qualification; so each
citizen should take steps Immediately
to qualify himself as an elecsor by
paying this tax TO the treasurer
The poll tax is due now, so II you
want to vote In she elections OF 1909
see that you turn the money over to
the tax officer. There is no excuse
for men failing to qualify by forget
ting or refusing to pay this tax.
Voting is the one inalienable right
above all Others that the qualified
elector has and the one which he
should always exercise for the sake
OF good government and to forfeit
this right by failing topay this small
tax Is nothing short OF gross indii-
ference to the welfare OF your home
and State. Don't put OIL dong
from day to day what you should
do a. once, but qualify yourself to
vote now while you think OF 1t. How
many OF Fredericksburg's registered
vote OF about 900 will be entitled
to vote next year? Is all depends on
whether or not you pay your pol
tax. Take good advice and give this
matter your attention-not tomor-
row, but today.

The season opened Friday with a fine
