How wiIl They Divides

EQltOT The AuVSTtiSSfs
 Will not some of our clergy give us some advice, in the nrwspapers. on the uses and spirit of prayer? Those Of us who were old enough to remember the war. recall the fervent belief at ths South. that God will defend the right. and how millions of good people on both sides prayed God Tor the success of their armies. The prayer of both sides could not be answered. Can we properly pray for the success of a DO. litical party. or a partieular policy! Can we properly tell the Lord our hearts are set on a particular event, or ought we to pray only Tor strength to tell the dear women and children that they should assemble for continuous prayers and religious services, to get an amendment adopted to the consttu- ton? If 1t is. may the good women and children who think the adoption of the amendment would be calamity, properly assemble in churches and pray God to defeat 1t? Would 1t be pleasant in the sight of the Lord,ssJ have the women and children dividing. one set praying one way and the other praying to confound the prayers of their breth- ren? With whom must the pastor pray when his congregation divloes in their prayers? What will be the enect on those good women and children, whose prayers are not answeredf When It IS all over, will 1t not be with the!u as U was for a time with the Confederate soldier, who felt when defeat came, that his God had deserted him In the day of his extremity?

A Cruel Injustice.

Evergreen, Ala. Oct 3. 1903. Editor The Advertiser:
 In commenting on a communication from "one of the best lawyers of the State" in reference to "exemptions from poll tax" The Advertiser says: 'It Is peculiarly hardship upon the young men of the State who belong to the military organizations that they are deprived of a vote. because they were ignorant of a law which required them to pay poll tax before the lst of February last or stand disfranchised.
 The writer has been connected with the State militia for the past ten years and since becoming of age has par ticipated in both State, county and presidential elections, that members of the State militia are, under the law. exempt from the payment Of poll tax, jury duty and road duty. If l am not law can be found in Military Laws of Alabama" Why. at this late date, and under the same law now as in re- cent elections in the State, does mem Der of the State militia become dis franchised because he dld not, on the 1st of February last, pay poll tax? am asking for Information. VIII some one be kind enough to answer through the columns of The Advertiser

 In answer to the above we can only say that the clause requiring soldiers to pay poll tax was put in the new Code. which was adopted by the pres ent Legislature at one of its numerous sessions. It is a great wrong 10 the young soldiers of the state, that theY should be distranchised ID this sum-

The Poll Tax Question.

Ehonth oAhStyI <Aid'' OSt. 10VVs Editor The Advertiser:
 It is clear to my mind that unless a man had paid his poll tax prior to Feb- ruary l. 1909. he Is not to vote in the special election on November 29, 1909. and that to pay his poll tax now would not give him the right to vote in said election. But suppose a man has neg lected to pay his poll tax for several years and now desires to begin paying, does he have to pay all back taxes since the time he was of age or since the present Constitution went into ef- feet? And if he must pay for the time he failed to pay in order to entitle him to suffrage can he not pay the whole at the time he pays his regular yearly poll tax? This information will be gladly received by those or some of those who have forfeited their right of citizenship for the past few years.

Payment of poll tax as q prerequis-

Payment of poll tax as a prerequis- ite for voting Is part of the Constitu- tion which was ratified by the people in 1901. Beginning with that year all poll tax had to be paid by the 1st of the following February in order to vote. If there are any who were subject to poll tax at that time and still owe for the whole from February 1, 1902. to Febru- ary 1. 1909. they must pay it all be- fore they will be allowed to vote. Those who owe for any period, one, two or more years. must pay in full. Of course they can pay at any time be- tween now and the 1st of February next and be eligible to vote at all elections In 1910, but that will not avail them for the election of November 29th. The election seems to have been ordered for this year with the intention of catching the thousands who did not pay their poll tax by the 1st of last February, thinking this was an off year and they could pay up all dues by next February. This ought to lead all men who are subject to poll tax to go to the Tax Collector and pay in full on or before the 1st of February next, The year 1910 will be momentous one in Alabama, as State and county off, cers and members of the Legislature and Congress have to be elected.

All this does not in any degree ex- cuse or condone the many cases of wife desertion of which we are hear ing. marriage contract Is one of the most solemn of all earthly trans actions and should be among the most hinding. It should not be entered in- to lightly or without due reflection and consideration, but when man and woman unite their lives and for tunes it should be life contract There may be cases where a man is justi- fled in leaving his wife, but they are few. There may be instances where the wife Is so cruelty and brutally mistreated that she would be far bet ter off if he would leave her for good, but these are not numerous.
 Leaving out these possibly, eXcusa- ble cases we still find men deserting the wives they have sworn to love and protect, and no Justification can be found. Worse even than that, he of- ten leaves the children borne to him by his wife to the cold mercies and hardships of the world with no one to help them but the deserted moth CT who is far too good for the man who leaves her. Such assertions are brutal and inhuman and the deserter should be made to suffer in some form or other. Perhaps they may not de- serve to be shot. as The Register plainly hints. but in most eases wife desertion is a cowardly crime and the criminals should be dealt with in a
