Negro Pays Poll Tax

The city collector and also the
marshall are hot on the trail OF
poll tax dodgers and Monday
night Chief Tisdale rounded up
a number before mayor Agee to
pay or show cause for not doing
so. Some paid, others asked for
time, among the lot was Sam
Allen, a negro gemmen of leisure
most of the time. Sam vowed
by the great horned toad and sew
eral other festishes of the super
stitions that he had but seventy
five cents, quartah and haf dol
lah. The tax was two dollars.
Mayor Agee tried every way to
get Sam to say he had more mon
ey but Sam stuck to the quarter
and half dollar story and the
mayor let him go till 'the next
morning to make the entire
amount good. Sam struck for
the outside of the house and
Chief Tisdale volunteered the
suggestion that the negro
had more money than rs cents.
The mayor took out after him
and brought him back and Sam
still stuck to the quarter and half
dollar story. Mayor Agee then
told him he would be searched
to prove the matter one way
OF the other. Chief Tisdale went
thru the negroes pockets and
found much more money, like
wise a bottle of morphine ION a
scription" and it was learned
thata prescription was given him
for morphine for his mother and
that the prescription was filled,
the quantity was not mentioned.
The theory of Sam being in pos
sion of such an amount of the
drug has been reduced to theft
as he has the job of cleaning
up at a drug store here. Sam
paid the 81 poll tax and so far
the matter has ended at that.

Adams Garrett Perfumer De.
caying

The melonrine billy goat which
has kept the premises and neigh
borhood of the big livery stable
here clear of cans and show bills
for so long passed in his checks
the first of the week. No autop-
spy was held to prove that plain
corn and hay was Billies' undo
ing permantly. He had eaten
all the highly colored show bills,
rags and labels from cans and
was forced to subsist on horse
provender.
Billy Adams, after whom the
purveyor of healthy perfume
was named, is disconsolate, John
Garnett, the other owner of Bill
ly Goat being sad but consolable
because he had not associated SO
long and intimately with Johan-
mes Pepers.
Jim Phillips, manager of the
stable telephoned for the leading
undertaken as soon as Billy gave
up the goat ghost, but embalm-
ing was decided unnecessary and
the usual formalities dispensed
with, flowers having no chance
except to look pretty. To per
petuate his memory, his hide
will be wrot into a beautiful
lap robe and serve a purpose
it would never have been per-
mitted to in life.

r. G. Miles Dead

At his home near Prairie Hill
K. G. Miles died Jany. q of re-
nal trouble from which he has
suffered for several years. He
came to this county when a boy
3 years of age and has resided
here since, marrying Miss Sarah
Sims in 1865. His wife died in
Novr. 1909 and three of the six
children of the union preceded
their father to the grave, leav-
ing daughter, Mrs. B. D. Fos-
ter and sons NJ. L. and E. P.
Miles surviving.
K. G. Miles was born in Tenn.
in 1889 and was of that rugged
type of pioneer which cleared a
way for a higher civilization
and rapid progress. He chose
to end his days on the old farm
rather than leave the old home
where his joys and sorrows had
been faced with happiness and
fortitude. Funeral fervices were
conducted at Oak Grove church
by Rev. P. M. Sears in the pres
ence of a large number of the
old friends of the family.

Pastor Christian Church
Resigned

Rev. B.. G. Rudd, for more
than two years pastor of the
Christian Church at this City
rendered his resignation Sunday
to take effect at the end of the
year for which be was engaged.
It is understood among out
siders that a very few of the
members of the Church were in
eli I'D to criticise Rev. Rudd be-
cat he was not disposed to
adopt radical views and preach
them, concerning some minor
actions of some of the members.
We believe no more popular
pastor has graced a pulpit in
this City. Clean. intelligent,
progressive and broad minded,
no minister ever among US has
been more influential for good
among young people of all de-
nominations and of no church
connection whatever.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
no bad guess will be made in
the selection of his successor.

new WORLD DOCTRINE.
Pres. Wilson Springs Surprise
All Precedent Broke
Senate Debate.

Monday President Wilson's
last note was in the hands of all
the nations of the world and ne
made known its important con-
tents in a message which he read
to the Senate.
President Wilson says there
can be no peace at the end OF
victory: that the high seas should
at all times be open to every
nation of the world. He says
further in this message in part:
Il am proposing, as it were, y
he said, that the nations should
with one accord adopt the doc
trine of Monroe as the doctripe
of the world; that no nation will
seek to extend its policy over any
other nation or people, but that
every people should be left free
to determine its own policy, its
own way to development, unhin-
dered, unthreatened. unafraid,
the little along with the great
and powerful.
Il am proposing that all ma
tions henceforth avoid entangled
alliances which would draw them
into competitions of power catch
them in a net of intrigue and
selfish rivarly, and disturb their
own affairs with influence in
truded from without. There is
no entangling alliance in a con-
cert of Powers when all unite to
act in the same sense with the
same purpose, all act in the COM
mon interest, are free to live un-
der a common protection.
Il am proposing Government
by the concent of the Govern
ed; that freedom of the seas,
which in international confer
ence after conference represen-
tatives of the U. S. have urged
with the >eloquence of those who
are the convinced disciples of
liberty; and that moderate n of
ornaments which makes of arm
les and navies a power for order
merely, not an instrument of ag-
gression or of selfish violence.
These are American princi-
pie, American policies. We
should stand for no others.
The German appears to be in
hearty accord with the unexpect-
ed utterance and declaration of
principles by our president, but
the allies, especially the British,
press, find many objections
thereto.
