WOULD PUT ALL VETS
ON SAME FOOTING

When the general assembly was in
session here in January. 1913. there
was a move to have veterans of the
Spanish American war and soldiers
who answered the call to the colors in
the late world war placed on an equal
footing with Confederate veterans and
to waive the requirement OF poll tax
payment as requisite to voting.
This resolution was offered by Dele
gate James S. Easley. Of Halifax. and
went to the committee OF privileges
and elections. where it seemed to meet
with sufficient support to merit ac-
tion. That the same proposition will
be made to the legislature when 1t
meets here in January Is believed GER
