he offers to vote, and he shall have been duly registered as an elector. and shall have paid on or before the first day of February, next preceding the date of the election at which he offers to vote, all poll taxes due from him fo. the year 1901. and for each subsequent year"
 Of course. this would not apply to a man coming into the state; in the case of that man he must have paid for every year he had been resident of the state. Boys who reach the age of 21 before October 1 must pay for the tax year in which they become of age, and in like manner the man at 45 must pay for even a part of the last year of his tribute time. So the law is not only plain but strict and the outcome is going to be dangerous to those who are not fixed for the whole time.
 Will Challenge Votes.
 It is evident that from the temper of the campaign both sides will watch close ly and that many votes will be chal- lenged It is said that men have advised that doubtful ones go along and vote, as there is no provision for contest In the act calling the election, but even a lay man may see the danger here. The courts would. not be so technical as to hold that tho fraudulent vote, even if there Is no provision for contest. can be counted in the making of the will of the people. And, under the constitution. man who is due any poll tax is in the att titude of fraudulent voter if he try to cast a ballot.
 The courst would likely construe this part of the act, taken from sAction 4. literally: And this election shall be held in all things in accordance with the law governing general elections. Those who are interested have looked up the law and feel safe in saying that it may be contested and no doubt will be if 1t is found that votes without full backing of the law have been cast. The most agitated ones seem to be the amend ment forces. Tn Montgomery one of their number has offered to lead a fund for prosecuting any who vote without legal right and to join in statement that any violator. however, he may vote, will be prosecuted
 Few Will Decide 1t.
 Only a small portion of the people will decide the question. Of the 150,000 citi- zens with right to vote under ordinary circumstances, probably not 10000 will be able this year to do so. Tax collectors were not dCllNe III puoiliHS tic Poii Soi- lections this year, often telling a man that as it s an off year in elections he could wait and pay two next year. Hav- ing no idea that a snap call would be made on so vital an issue many yielded and the amendment forces were aware of that believing, 1t seems now certain, that they stood better show to win with a small crowd than with the larger
 Hence. majority will be about 40,0oo. possibly not so many, with normal voting strength of more than three times that number. But. and this Is the only good thing about it, men after this good year are going to keep up their poll tax, especially under the ruling that if they have paid the past few years and are out just one way back they can not fill in the gap and qualify, the attorney gen eral having held that unless all were paid on or before the first day of last February there is no right to vote.

KEEP HISTORY STRAIGHT.

Our TOWnsman, Mr.. A. B. HOllOWell,
Who Knew What Fighting Was
From Start to Finish, Gives Some
Historic Facts.
Editor Argus:
While in Raleigh few days ago,
visited the State Museum and saw on
exhibition section of a tree with a
big placard attached thereto stating
that the tree was taken from the bat
tlefield of Bentonsville, the last battle
fought during the war between the
states. 1t occurred to me then that it
was misleading, and I notice in your
issue of March 10, you say it was the
last real battle of the Confederacy." 1t
may have been the last real battle
fought in the State but not the last
battle of the Confederacy. The battle
Of Bentonsville was fought March 10,
1865. In Confederate Military His
tory, vol, III. page $50, we find that
on March 25, 1865, was made the at
tack and capture by Gen. John B. Cor
don, of Fort Steadman, Va, and in
. that battle it is stated that the Con-
federate loss was 5000 and that Of
the enemy 1000. On the 31st of March
and the 1st of April, 1865, were fought
the battles of Chamberlain Run and
Five Forks, perhaps one of the hard
est fought battles of the war. On the
9Th of April at Sailors Greek another
battle was fought in which General
Lee sustained loss of 5000, and on
the 7th of April, near Farmville, Va,
another in which General Grant was
repulsed. These battles all occurred
after that OF Bentonsville. Just on the
eve of the surrender of General Lee
and owing to the confusion attending
the collapse of the Confederacy as
much note was not taken of them by
our people as that of Bentonsville.
Hence, perhaps, the error.
But, Mr. Editor, the battle of Ben
louisville was not the last one of the
Confederacy, as thousands of men
were killed and wounded after that
fight before the final end. A. 3. H.

FIE, ''UNCLE JOE"!

The Speaker of the House of the ma |
tional Congress, whoever he may be, |
should BIZ above culpable dicker for
the position, and in the person OF
Speaker Cannon, he has held that
high position Of honor and power too
long and is himself of such age that
he should be looking to the kind of
memory he is to leave behind rather
than to visiting revenge upon his OPP
pponents.
But alack and alas!
Three members of the band of %
who came to the relief OF Joseph u.
Cannon ard the machine have already
received their reward. Mr.. Fitzger-
aid has been made a member of the
rules committee, and Messrs. Harrl-
son and Broussard have been put on
the committee of ways and means. Mr..
Broussard is protectionist first and
a Democrat afterward. Mr.. Fitzgerald
is the man who refused to lay his plan
before a Democratic caucus, prefer
ring to spring it at moment that
would let the Cannonites creep out of
the hole iDto which they had fallen.
The other 19 will no doubt be re-
warded when the Speaker appoints
the other committees.
After the great scare to which the
Speaker was subjected by the joint ac-
ton of the true-blue Democrats and
insurgents he is hunting scalps, and
for that purpose he has taken away
from the minority leader the privilege
of naming the minority members o
the various committees.
But the Democratic caucus bound
all Democrats in the House to refust
service oE a committee unless thei
assignments, had been approved b.
Leader Champ Clark. What this rul
of the caucus will lead to remains t.
be disclosed It is difficult to see hov
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Fitzgerald can worl
together cn the rules committee TO
Mr.. Clark will not at any time becom
an assistant Republican. And MI
Broussarl will rot represent the Dem
ocratic party OF the national platforI
on the ways ano means committee
Such appointments as these simpl
operate tn asten the downfall Of Can
nonism.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Brous
sard will sign the minority report {
the ways and means committee on tai
iff revision and possibly Mr.. Harriso
will not. The Speaker is out for re
venge and he is acting foolishly
making appointments to committee
There is not bit of sense, but a gres
deal of revenge, in the Broussard al
pointment to the ways and means con
mittee and the appointment Of M
Fitzgerald to thu rules committee, fC
neither will in the fullest sense rel
resent the minority of the House.

THE BATTLE OF
BENTONSv|LLE
Fought a. Years Ago To-day
Within Hearing of
This City.
How Many OF our Citizens Who Heard
These Booming GUNS With
BldDChed Faces Have Given
a Thought TO the
Passing Ami
VerSary.

FOrty-fOur years ago today, on the
10Th of March, 1865, was fought the
last real battle of the Confederacy,
when Gen. Joe Johnston engaged Sher-
man at Bentonsville, within hearing
severely.
That was one of the f1ercest fights
of the entire war while it lasted-only
differing from the really great battles
of the war in duration, this one last
ing but few hours, but in that time
the carnage was fearful and the re-
suit decisive.
This was the last real battle of the
war, the surrender of Lee coming on
the 9th of April following.
Gen. Wade Hampton was in the bat
| tie of Bentonsville, and it was for this
reason that he was selected by the
| Go1dsboro Rifles to unveil the monu-
ment which this company erected on
that battlefield fifteen years ago to-
day-and, too, we believe that was
General Hampton's last speech on
such an occasion, although he lived
for some ears afterwards.
1t is worthy of note that his last
| speech of such character should be de-
livered on the scene and in conmem-
Grafton Of the last battle in which he
was engaged and the last of the South
ern Confederacy.
i How many of our citizens who will
