MIR. W. H. Kramer, Clerk,
Replies to Above Letter

FRANKLIN, La, oepl. III. 1'I :.
Kindly permit me to add a short
statement to Mr. C. D. Kemper's let
ter to you, relative to collection of
poll taxes, of which letter he has sent
me a duplicate. do this merely to
correct an erroneous impression,
which his letter may give to keep the
record straight, contented to let the
public form its final conclusions.
Mr. Kemper criticises the making
Of the poll tax list, and his article
gives the impression that thlA list
was made by the Clerk of the Court.
The Clerk of Court does not make
any POLL TAX LIST, BUT is mere
ly its CUSTODIAN. The Grand Ju-
ry requested this list of me, asking
further that l give the total number
Of poll tax payments, white. and col
ored. l handed the POLL TAX LIST
to Mr.. Kemper, stating that it
did not show this segregation, and re-
GREETING that l did not have the time
to make it for him. made no apol-
ogy for this list nor for making the
segregation requested.
If this list is faulty and if the seq
regation should be made by races, I
suggest that the public know that the
Clerk is merely it's CUSTODIAN hav-
ing nothing to do with it's prepare
ton. also do not wish that any will
ingness to serve and regret that l
did not have the time to do some
thing for the Grand Jury as mat
ter ofe courtesy should be miscon-
strued as any apology.
My only duty in connection with
poll faxes is to require each male jul
ror or witness to show me his poll tax
receipt, and if he does not do so, to
deduct it from his payment and hand
the money in lump to the Treasurer
Of the School Board and then to give
the Sheriff list of such names. do
not issue poll tax receipts nor make
any other record than statement to
sheriff.
This deduction l am now making,
since requested by the Grand Jury,
and will continue to do, for l recog-
nize the. right of the Grand Jury to
make this request of me, though l
differ with it as to the wisdom of
doing it. 1t brings up afresh the
question Of collecting poll tax re-
ceipts from the colored race, which
by common consent since the Consti-
tuition Of 1898 has not been done. The
reason for the officials not collecting
this poll tax from the colored race
been fully set forth in my article,
which Mr.. Kemper is answering.
Each one Of 10 have the right to a
different view point Of such serious
public question. The school deficit
is worrying me just as much as it is
worrying him and every one else in
terested in the general public wei
fare. I contend that the poll tax col
lection from the colored race is not
the just solution Of this problem.
Yours very truly,
WILBUR H. KRAMER.

DRAFT MACHINERY ABOUT READY; MAY
 START UP FRIDAY

WASHINGTON, July IT. - With only ten states remaining to be heard from on organization of local exempt ion boards and with serial number lists of registrants from all but GAS out of 4,5OO exemption districts on file, Provost Marshal General Crowder was hopeful today that the preliminary stages in the drawing will be complet- ed within forty eight hours. It is ex- pected the drawing can be held Friday or Saturday of this week.
 Once past the drawing stage, it was pointed out, the necessity for concert ed action by the states ceases and the examination of registrants and their assignment to the army of exemption can proceed in any state without re- gard to the progress made in any oth- CT community.

KINGMAN MEN VISIT
 CEDAR DISTRICT AND
 GET MANY SURPRISES
CFrOm Tuesdays Daily Miner.y

Last Sunday l. M. George, H. M. Crowther an dW. P. Carr visited the mines of the Cedar district. going in by way of the Leviathan. They look ed the big molybdenum mines over and then walked over to Cedar, about five miles distant. While they were un- able to get into the mines at Cedar they were given a good impression of the high naturalization of the coun- try in the outcrop of the numerous veins.
 The Leviathan was the property that gave them the surprise of their lives, as it was the first time in years that either Mir. George or Mir. Carr had looked at this mine. Mir. Crow ther had gone through the property a few weeks ago and considered it one of the greatest mines in the coun- ty.
 The Cedar mines carry high values in silver, and were at ore time among the big producers of the county. Ow- ing to distance from transportation and the low price of the white metal the mines have been allowed to remain idle, but under the influence of high silver prices these properties are sure

TEST BATTERY BEFORE
 USING AUTO, HE SAYS
tFrom Mondays Daily MinerJ

The first thing that the owner of a new automobile should do is to go to the battery service station and let the battery expert test his battery, acording to MT. Gielow, chief electri- clan for Scheoeitje Machine Co., who gives the following reasons for this.
 "The battery really commences to wear the instant that it is assembled. As long as the plates are in contact with the electrolyte, the battery is slowly discharging itself.
 "If, therefore, an automobile is a long time in transit from the manu- facturer to the dealer and then is a long time in the hands of the dealer, it is entirely possible that the battery may have become considerably dis charged. This slow discharge is per fectly natural. Before the car owner puts it to hard usage, he should have it fully charged. If this is once done, the generator should keep it in that condition"

Attacks Railroad Man WithHamner
CFrom Mondays Daily Miner)

NEEDLES, Cal, July 16-The diff ferences that are said to have existed between H. L. Hewlett and J. E. De- vine, local railroad employees, came to a head Wednesday night when How lett is alleged to have mounted the cab of the engine on which Devine was fireman, and attacked him with a hammer, inflicting serious injuries to his head and body.
 Hewlett was arrested on a warrant charging assault with a deadly weap- on, and released later on $500 bail.
 The preliminary examination was held and Hewlett was held to ans wer to the superior court.
 A few months ago Hewlett was shot from ambush as he was sitting in his cab, and he had Devine ar rested for the deed. The evidence, however, did not justify the prosecu- tion of the latter, and the case was dismissed.

ARIZONA IS URGED ID
 HELP GUT GOAL PRICE
 THROUGHOUT NATION
(From Fridays Daily Miner)

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 2O.-Alleg- ing that coal barons throughout the country have increased the price of soft coal more than S4 a ton during the past ten months, despite the fact that the increased cost of mining it is only 45 cents more a ton, the Wis consin State Council of Defense has asked the Arizona State Council of Defense to join in a demand that the government take over all coal mining properties.
 In a communication to the Arizona State Defense organization. the Wis consin State Council says that the op- orators f coal mines refuse to offer any satisfactory reason for the highly increased price of coal and show no disposition to reduce prices. The com munication says in part:
 "Soft coal at the mines in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania at the present time is being sold on the av- craze of about S4 per ton more than the same kind of coal was sold for in 1916. Thorough investigation shows the total expense of mining the same coal, including overhead expenses, is about forty-five cents per ton in excess of the expense of 1916"
