For Nou-2aymeat Of Poll Tax.

On last Monday, T. D. Mitchell, of
Brooklaud, was arrested on the
streets of Lexington. for non-payment
of poll tax. The warrant was sworn
out by County Treasurer Shealy ard
Sheriff Corley made the arrest.
Mitchell claimed that he was resi-
dent of Columbia and, therefore, was
not subject to poll tax in this county.
But he was resident of Brookland,
this county, in 1907, and was due to
pay poll.
He was carried before Magistrate
G. A. Derrick and a fine of 81 and all
cost was imposed, in addition to the
tax.
On Monday Of this week, another
white man, Archie Wilson, was ar
rested upon the same charge. He was
tried before Magistrate Derrick and a
fine of 81 and cost.was imposed.
This is the third case of this kind
within the past few weeks, and it is
not unlikely that there will be others.
