Court Affirms Tabor's Sentence.

In the supreme court Chief Justice
Smith or July IL handed down a de-
cree overruling a suggestion of error
in the case of J.. Tabor, from Lafay-
cite county, whose case. carrying the
death sentence, was affirmed and Fri
day, August 6, set for the date of exc
cution. This case is invested with a
peculiar degree of interest for the
eason that the condemned man is
over 20 years of g and carried a
musket during the "a between the
states as a Confederate soldier. He
was c~onvincted of the murder of a
daughter-in-law. The only hope now
is for a reprieve or Communication al

deluged with inquiries from citizens
who seem to be unable to keep their
minds clear concerning the laws re-
lating to qualified voters.
While the attorney general does
not issue official rulings for individu-
ais, inquiries of this character are
fully answered in a ruling issued from
the department of justice in 1912,
wherein it is specifically held that the
party who offers to vote must have
paid poll tax for the two preceding
years, and not merely for the year In
which he offers to vote.
