1t appears that last December the

tax OF sI, which Is sometimes levied.
The banker paid the stats poll tax
and rsmittsd the remaining dollar to
the governor. advising him there was
no city poll tax being collected at that
time. In this, however. the bankel
was in error, as 1t proved there was 9
city poll tax Of 81.
Consequently, when the executive
approached the voting place In Terrell
and presented his state poll tax re-
ceipt and cast his ballot, he was asked
for his city poll tax receipt and Of
course he had none. His right TO vote
was then challenged, and explanations
were of no avail, apparently.
Finally the attorney generals de.
partment was communicated With over

independence, La, July 29.-The
Independence Farmers Association
held a meeting in Italian hall today
to discuss business matters. The
statement rendered by the officers
showed that they had shipped and

alent Of 274,687 pint crates, being
40 cars at an average of 1921 05 per

ury Sic, 383.45, out of which was paid
the running expenses, $9,784.t8, leay-
ing balance OF S.. 1927.
They have in mind the establish
ment of a reduction plant to work
up the berries received after heavy
rains, which become too soft for
shipment, and also the berries left in
the fields, which is considerable, on
account Of low price. These are the
finest and sweetest, but will not bear
shipping to northern and eastern
points. It is estimated that at least
$4,000 crates are left in the fields
after the shipping season is over
These berries the association hopes
to utilize in the contemplated reduc-
ton plant.

EARLY ROOSTER GROWING
Chicago PolicelO official Has Plan
to Stop 1t.

How to Stop a Rooster From
Growing is the title of pamphlet
prepared by William Luthardt, secre-
tary to Chief of Police McWeeny OF
Chicago.
E Since the publication OF story that
told of the chiefs success in suppress
ing the rooster the head of the Chica
go police department has received a
vast number of letters asking him to
stop Growing roosters in all parts OF
the city.
"Say, Bill" said the chief to his
secretary, I'VE will have to answer
these letters about the ROSTERS. -
This department has received sew
eral complaints, said the secretary,
from persons whose early morning
slumber is disturbed by Growing roos-
tiers. It is natural for rooster to
crow, but in order to do SO he must
raise his head. A simple device to
keep the bird from growing is to mai
a board twelAe inches above the perch
in the chicken house. This will pre-
vent the rooster from raising his heac
to the proper angle for Growing, and
thereby suppressing his noisy notes. >

CANDIDATE MICHEL AND THE
SEGREGATIONISTS.

1t is of little consequence FROM
what source or by whose authority
candidate for governor, John L. Mi
chel, was connected with the segre-
gationists, but as fact that it was
talked about and the impression left
Oh the mind was that Candidate Mi
chel had been committed directly or
indirectly to the aid of the individ-
uals who favor a division of the city
from the parish.
In denial printed in the Items
issue of Monday, Candidate Niche.
declares that he has been misrepre-
scented and that he has had no agree
ment or understanding with the seq
regationists.
Ia his very words he declares tht
Shreveport story is absolute rot
there is not the least vestige o!
truth in it.
With this most emphatic denia
the segregationists are left in
plight, and have scored failure il
their first attempt to influence some
Of the people to their scheme.
The division of the parish or tn
separation of Shreveport from thu
parish, is suggested in a selfish spiri
and dictated in the interests of tn
brewery and the saloon.
It is safe to declare that the ma
Jority of the voters in Shreveport
and Caddo parish will never consen
to this scheme of the breweTies AM

.WOLTERS MAKES
A STATEMENT
Anti Chairman Says Business
Men Lacked Courage.
DIVES MUST BE BANISHED
Insists That II Comptroller Does
Mis- Duty There Wi Not BE a
DisreputabIe Saloon Within the
Limits of Texas.

In statement issued by Chairman
J. E. Wolters of the executive COM
mittee of the Anti Statewide Prohibit
ton Organization of Texas, he says
among other things:
Contest in the courts will not re-
verse the expressed will of the people.
The prohibitionists exertcd every eff
fort within their power to procure the
vote of negroes, and thousands that
could not be induced to vote for the
amendment through the persuasion
and domination of the negro ministry
we're inttmidated by threats and as
saults to either vote for tue amend
ment or to stay away from the polls,
A complete analysis of the vote viii
show that only very small percent
age Of the 81, 600 negroes holding poll
tax receipts or those additional ones
exempt by age voted at all, and that
fully go per cent voted for the amend
ment.
He declared that many bus mess men
and those holding public positions
were lacking in moral courage during
the late campaign, and that some
morning after an election they will
W AXE up when it is too late to realize
that blow has been struck at their
progress and prosperity which they
cannot survive. -
Press of the state is praised for the
part 1t took in the campaign. He. de-
clared that s'the returns show conclu-
siyely that the overwhelming major
ity of the farmens of the rural dis
tricts and the toilers of the larger
towns and cities, as well as in the ru-
raj districts, eacompassed by their
votes the defeat of the amendment. ;
Continuing, he says: IF the comp
troller does his full duty not disrep-
utable saloon nor one that violates
the law can exist any where in Texas
for thirty days. The disreputable sa-
loon, wherever it exists, must go, and
the anti statewide prohibitionists will
In the future, as they have in the past,
cooperate in the passage of any law
that will put the lawless out of the sa-
loon business.
"The exercise of a little moral cour.
age on the part of good citizens by in
forming the proper officers Of viola
tions of the law by saloonkeepers
coming under their observation will
tend to abate such evils wherever they
may exist. =
