NO EXEMPTION OF POLL TAXES DUE
 BEFORE THE WAR
Attorney General Explains Features of Proposed Amendment for Benefit
 of Ex-Service Men

An interpretation of what exeufp ptiou will be allowed the ex-service men in the event the people of the state at the coming election decide favorably on the question, was contained in com munication sent the judge of the pro- bate court by Attorney General J. 0. Smith.
 The report that has been spread late- ly among the returned Soldiers, it was stated. was that they would be ex- empted fro mall payment of poll tax up to october l. 1928.
 The ruling by Attorney General Smith says that the ex-service man will only be exempted from paying poll tax from the time he entered the service until October l, 1923.
 This legislation, if acted upon favor ably by the people. stated Attorney General Smith. will not clear any ar rcsrs in the payment of the poll tax that the ex-service man might have had previous to his entering the service.
 This ruling of the attorney general has been consedered the best ;nterpre- tation of the proposed act. which has been the subject of much discussion among those officials whcae offices will have to handle psost of the busi. ness connected with qualifying the ex- service men as electors.

GOSSIPOF THE GRIDIRON
By BoB M,DAvu

For fickleness the Auburn stu dent body has all the young swains of our fair land backed off the boards. Monday night 1000 Au- burn rah-rah boys got up and de- manded Tom Bragg's resignation as faculty athletic director. Wednes- day night 1900 Auburn rah-rah boys got up and unanimously com mended Braggs athletic adminis- tration. What happened in that AS hour interval to cause such uni- versal change of heart remains mystery to the average reader, but the general supposition is that the majority of Auburn alumni were so strong for Bragg that they con vinced their younger brethren that Tom was all right. MT. Bragg has for many years stood high in southern athletic circles, and though his policies have not always received unanimous approval, none doubts his integrity or his loyalty to the institution with which he is connected.
 Some of my Auburn friends have tried to josh me a bit for picking Tech to beat Auburn, most of them claiming that they knew how the game was going to result all along. In answer I'd like to say that one college man here walked all over Birmingham last Thursday morn ing offering 10 to l on Tech to win and the only customers he found were the sporting editor of the Age-Herald, a Washington and1 Lee alumnus and an old Vander7N bilt football player.
