TAXES
CONTINUE TO
COME SLOWLY
AVERAGE NUMBER ATTENDING
TO THIS MATTER DAILY MAS
NOT INCREASED DURING PAST
FEW DAYS AND A GREAT MANY
REMAIN YET UNPAID.

Although the time in which poll
taxes may be paid is passing swiftly,
only few more days remaining, there
has been no perceptible increase in
the number paying each day recently.
according to Tax Collector Roberts.
and only about 500 have paid, SO far.
The average number paying each day
is only forty or fifty. and at this rate,
very few will be qualified before the
time in which they may pay ex-
pires.
The number who are exempt from
poll taxes is estimated at about 700,
so that 1t will be seen that thus far
not half of the voters of the county are
qualified. One week from tomorrow is
the last day on which poll taxes may
be paid, so that it can be easily seen
that the rate at which poll taxes are
being paid at present will have to be
Increased greatly II anything like a
full vote is to be qualified. o..
OF course, there are a number who
realize that the time is passing and
who intend paying before the time ex-
pires, but If many of them put the
matter off until the last minute the
tax collector will not be able to wait
upon them and somebody will be dis
franchised, who did not intend it. The
safest way is to, go and attend to this
matter today and let the other fellow
be one to run the risk of being left.

noon, a delay having been caused on
account of waiting for some witnesses
who arrived on the 4:10 train, and the

sacoIa yesterday for two agements,
matinee and evening, and while the
audiences were not exceptionally large
they were captivated-
Creatore is a leader who feels the
sentiment of the music his band is
playing. and whose enthusiasm appears
boundless. His moments of repose are
few. His magnetism is irresistible. He
fairly picks his band up in the eli
makes and shakes 1T. One feels that
every scrap of intensity has been urged
from every player. Creatore made a
pronounced hit, and his simple charm
of manner was not a whit disturbed
because of his success.

Aborn SINGER. All Americans.

The Aborn English Grand Opera
Company is essentially an American
institution, for the few members of
the organization who were not born IN
this country have lived here SO long
as to become Americanized, while the
majority of the Aborn singers are
Americans by birth. The three of
foreign birth are Domenico Russo and
Leonard Samoloff, tenors, and Carlo
Nicosia, conductor. Russo has APP
peared in various grand opera COM
panies in the United States for over
twelve years, notably the San Carlo,
the TivolL Hammerstein's Opera
Comique and others, while Samolof
and Nicosia have both been here for
many years, and are both American
citizens. Samoloff is a Russian by
birth, but was brought to this country
by his parents when very young, and
received his early education here
Returning to Europe he finished his
education, both mental and vocal, IN
Germany, where he made his operate
debut, and returned to this side after
several years in various continental
opera houses. Nicosis was born in
Greece of Italian parents, was edu-
Gated In Venice, and tas conducted
opera in four continents. He first
came to America TO conduct at the
French Opera in New Orleans, where
he remained two years; afterward
filed the same position under the di-
rection of Henry W. Savage, and two
years later became the maestro Of the
Aborn English Grand Opera Com
pany. When Hammerstein opened his
Manhattan opera house for it's second
season, he engaged Nicosia as one of
his conductors there and at the Phil
adelphia opera house, and after the
Metropolitan bought Hammerstein out
of the grand opera field, Nicosia re-
turned to the Aborn forces, with which
he has been ever since.
Outside of the three exceptions
above mentioned. the principals of the
Aborn English Grand Opera Company
are ali natives Of this country, includ-
ing Edith Helena and Jane Abercrom-
bic, sopranos, Elaine De Sellem and
Zoe Fulton, contraltos, Louis Kreidler
and Morton Adkins. barftones, William

A glance at the chances child had for education when the State was young shows marked contrast to his opportunities in this twentieth century. 'Tis not contrast 0f bulld- ings or appliances alone but of the teachers themselves. Fifty years ago the Ichabod Cranes were still com mon. A skill with the ''hichory' and a meager learning was considered sufficient. The school room today shows a pleasing contrast, for every decade has brought improvement and perfection seems close indeed. Now We find men and women well educat- ed and cultivated guiding the young mind. They put great emphasis on good breeding, courtesy and kind ness as being as essential to school life as the black board or the spell ing book.
