LAST DAY Is NEAR.
All Taxes VIII Become Delinquent
After Friday Night.

When the clock strikes twelve
Fridan night, January 81, the time
for the payment of taxes without in
curing a penalty will cease. On
February l all unpaid taxes will be-
come delinquent, and a penalty to
cover cost of collection will be add
ed. From that date a poll tax re-
ceipt will cost SO 1t can now
$1.75. By buying poll tax re-
ceipt between now and Friday night
the holder will be entitled to vote
in this years elections. Even if you
do not care to vote it is better to
pay your poll tax before the cost
is added. This is a duty you can
not escape. The parties who have
paid fines within the last twelve
months for failing to pay their poll
tax should be an object lesson to
every one who is subject to this
tax. It costs one person little more
than s45 for trying to avoid this OBJ
legation. 1t may cost you as much if
you fail to procure receipt before
February l.
During the remaining days of this
month Collector Spencer appre-
hends a great rush and is prepared
to take care of all who come. A
number of extra clerks have been
employed for this week. They were
kept busy from Z o'clock Monday
morning until late in the after
noon. Friday and Saturday were
also busy days. During those two
days 631 receipts were issued.

JOLTS LABOR UNIONS
EMPLOYERS HAVE RIGHT To
DISCHARGE MEMBERS OF
ORGANIZATION.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The con-
stitutionality of the act of congress
of June 1, 1898, prohibiting rail-
road companies engaged in inter-
state commerce from discriminating
against members of labor organiza-
tions in the matter of employment.
was called into question by the case
of William Adair VS.. the United
States, which was decided by the
supreme court of the United States
yesterday favorably to Adair. The
opinion was by Justin Harlin and
held the law to be repugnant to the
constitution
The court held that Adair as
master mechanic of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad company,
had right to discharge an employe
because he was member of labor
organization, just as it was the en-
ploye's right to quit such employ
ment because of his membership in
such organization. Such a course,
the decision added, might be un-
wise, but, regarded as mere mat
ter of right, there could be no doubt
Congress could not, under the con-
stitution, authorize a violation of
contracts under the guise of pro-
tecting interstate commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered a dis
senting opinion, in which he said
the courts decision proceeds along
very narrow lines.

THIRTY SEVEN MEASURES.
To Be Considered By Special Ses-
sion of the Legislature.


Charleston, w. Va, Jan. IS
Thirty-seven measures are recon-
mended for passage by Governor
Dawson during the special session
of the West Virginia legislature,
convened today. The most impor-
tant of these are the limitation of
the amount of rate of levies for tax
alton, to prescribe the duties of
county officers and regulate their
fees and commissions, to provide
for the supervision of public offices
and institutions and to establish a
uniform system of public account
ing and auditing. The governor
also recommends more effectual
law prohibiting the sale of liquor
on Sunday and providing for thor
ough enforcement of the license
law. An act providing for the ex-
animation and supervision of all
trust, guaranty, surety and bond
ing companies will also be consid-
cred. The matter of the represent
tation of West Virginia at the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition will also
be taken up. A law requiring min
ing companies to make thorough
provision for the safety of the min
ers, with the view of preventing the
repetition of such terrible mine dis
asters as have recently occurred in
this state, may be considered by
the Legislature.

LABOR LEAGUE
 IS ORGANIZED
Steps Taken for Closer Affil- iation and More Active
 Political Work.

The Wage Farmers Business League of Pulaski County was organized at the meeting of lab bring men of the city called by the Central Trades and Labor Council of Little Rock to take ac- tion upon the committee report ordered by the former mass meet ing of the union labor element of the city.
 This means that the laboring men of Little Rock and Pulaski county will take an active part in county, state and national pol itics, not as a party, but as fac tor in electing to office only such men as are known to be friendly to union labor and endorsed by a majority of the locals of the county. It also means closer alliance and b tier attention on

Jack was so sure that I would join that he took me to one side and told me the pass word which is never work l was in the act of signing the con- stitution when Tom Ingram, the cotton weigher, came along. l took him aside and asked him if he knew anything about the or der known as the Sons of Rest.

 It has been announced that the League will not be confined in membership to union laboring men, but that all laboring men of the city and county and all friends of organized labor will be welcomed to the working ranks of the League.

the part of organized labor in the matter of purchasing only such goods as are manufactured by union labor and under union labor conditions.
 1t is expected that the forty five locals of the city, as well as the Farmers Union of the county will affiliate with the League and bend every energy to make it a success. The League does not intend to put political ticket in the field, but to maintain a stand ing working committee to ap- prove or disapprove any candi- date for office and to report to the League the candidates who are favorable to the inter asts of the working people and to vote only for such candidates. By this means it is believed the laboring men will be able to elect to office such men as will work for their interests. regardless of their par ty affiliation.
 The meeting last night was called by a mass meeting of la boring men held during the month of May. A committee was appointed at the first meet ing to investigate and report up- on a line of action, and this re- port was rendered and unamous- ly adopted by the mass meeting last night.
 It provides for the appoint ment of a regular standing conl- mittee on legislation and other matters of like interest to the laboring element. To investigate

In Union City, Indiana, on last
Thursday evening, a man by the
name of William Thompson, en-
ployed by the Bellefontaine and

as night-switchman, in switching
off a locomotive, on the night a.
bove mentioned, accidentally
caught his foot in the frog" OF
the switch in such a manner that
he could not remove it before the
locomotive passed on, crushing
his leg to his knee. The severl-
ty of the wound, in the opinion
of the attending physician, rem
dered it necessary, in order to
save life, that the leg should be
amputated. Accordingly, ON
Saturday, while the operation OF
removing the fractured limbEas
being performed, the patient
died.
