Sinking of
Freighter is a
Mystery

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Mystery to-
night still surrounded the sinking of
the 3600-ton freighter Clan Gordon
off Cape Hatteras in comparatively
calm sea Wednesday afternoon with
the loss of four members of her
crew, one of them the wireless op-
orator. The freighter, bound from
New York to China, with q cargo of
case oil and wax, turned turtle in
full view of passengers on board the
United Fruit Company's steamship
Abanagarez, which arrived here to-
day with the Clan Gordon's survivors,
had their attention attracted to the
Clan Gordon by her apparent heavy
list to starboard and the passenger
ship had turned to make closer inves-
tigation when with startling sudden
ness the British vessel turned COM
pletely over. The crew could be seen
jumping from the upturned rail into
the water and lifeboats from the
Abangarez were cleared away. They
succeeded in reaching the sinking
ship in time to save all of her crew
of sixty-two except the wireless op-
orator and three Lascar firemen.
Explanation of the accident was re-
fused by the Clan Gordon's officers
and representatives of her owners.
The Clan Gordon was of the turret
type construction and was built in
Glasgow in 1900. She was 355 feet
long and 45 feet beam. Her cargo
was slowed, it was said, under the
usual system of inspection and ap-
proval.

Poll Tax
Must Be Paid

NASHVILLE, Aug. 1.-The state
central committee of the constitu-
tional convention campaign has issued
the following appeal.
The attention of persons who are
required by law to pay poll taxes
is called to the fact that these taxes
must be paid not later than Monday
Aug. 4, to qualify for the constitu-
tional convention election which will
be held on Thursday, Sept. A. Many
voters are under the impression that
they can pay at some later date, but
this is a mistake. Chapter 179, acts
1915, plainly provides that poll taxes
must be paid mot later than thirty
days prior to the day of the election" "
The election in this case will be held
on Thursday, Sept. 4, 1919. There
fore, Monday, Aug. 4, 1919, is the
very last day on which poll taxes can
be paid in order to vote in the elec-
ton of Thursday, Sept. 4. Let every
voter bear this well in mind and pay
now and not await the invariable
rush and crowd incident to the last
day. The newspapers of the state
are earnestly urged to notify the peo-
pie of this fact.
STATE central committee constitu-
tional convention, Joseph A. Acklen,
chairman; Will R, Manler, Jr., Sec
retary.
