THANKS EXPRESSED. BY NEGRO PREACHER
Efforts of Mine Warden In Behalf of Will Jackson
 ArouSeS Interest

Probability of favorable report in the case of Will Jackson, who has served 14 years and six months on life sentence and whose appeal for liberty Is now before the board or pardons, was expressed in letter received yesterday by the Rev. w. Ii. Hunt, negro preacher who recently wrote a letter of appreciation to w. A. Gibson, warden of the Wesra mines of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company, for his efforts in Will Jack sons behalf In the past week.
 The following letter, dated Decem- Der 16, was written to Mir. Gibson by Rev. Hunt, following the publication of an article in The Age-Herald rela- tive to a pardon for Jackson: MT. W. A. Gibson warden Wegra
 mines, Pratt Consolidated Coal com
 pany.
 Dear Sir:
 q noticed in reading The Birming- ham Age-Herald of December 1A that you went to Montgomery at your own expense to appear before the pardon board of the state of Alabama in the interest of one of our race, Will Jack son of Jefferson county, who is now serving a life sentence for murder. I do not know Jackson, nor do I know yOu All lhhb dO huOW VI NhS Ah cident Is what read in The Age Herald concerning your efforts in having Jackson parolled together with the efforts of w. o. Robbins, Jr., the warden of the Banner mines, who also wrote similar letter to the board.
 T cannot refrain from sending you this letter of congratulation for your earnest effort in helping one whom you believe to be worthy of your act which Is one Of the many kindnesses shown to our people by the good white people of the south.
 Trusting that your endeavors will not prove fruitless, am praying that you may enjoy long and prosperous life in helping the worthy cause that comes your way.
 Hoping that you will have a merry Christmas and happy New Year, I am sincerely yours,
 REV. W. H. HUNT"
 In reply to the above letter. MT. Gib- son wrote the following letter to Rev. Hunt:
 "Rev. w. H. Hunt, 4oo1 Fortieth
 street and Avenue A, Birmingham.
 Ala.
 T acknowledge receipt of your let ter of the sixteenth instant, relative to my effort to secure the parole Of Will Jackson, a state convict
 T appreciate your feeling in the matter and further, appreciate your writing me. I happen to be familiar with the facts connected with this particular case, and while I do not believe Jackson to be innocent, I do believe that he has been sufficiently punished. Then again, Jackson has conducted himself in such manner as to gain and hold the confidence and respect of all with whom he has come in contact.
 T have heard nothing definite from the pardon board, but am confident that will get favorable report. and that the governor will act accord ingly. Again thanking you for your letter. am, very truly

 There really were meant to be given only seven prizes, but some of the children were "so disappointed" and MT. Pizitz wouldn't stand for that at all. They got prizes. too. These favors were books. wonderful doll swings, balls and roly-poly ba- bies that even made the donkeys laugh, they were so funy and cute.
 When MT. Pizitz was over in Ger many not long ago. he ordered a great big elephant tall giraffe, and a bear that shakes his head side- ways, and he had them all up there last night
 When John ". Anderson, adver- Using <nanager. took hold of the elephants trunk and gave it little tweak, and it started rocking back and forth, the kiddies began to yell with joy.

Owing to the large number of can d!dates expected to be in the held for state and county offices, county residents who will be qualified to vote are expected to throw off the lethargy manifested duCing the year just past when there was no cleo ton of general interest except the municipal campaign, which was con . fined to the city of Birmingham.
 Interest in the coming elections in which the entire citizenship of the county will participate, is expected to stimulate the payment of poll taxes which fell off during 1921 and to result in the addition of several thousand new voters to the voting list of the county as a result of the regular registration which will be- gin January 2.
 Delinquent in February
 While payment of poll taxes since the tax became due October 1 has been rather slack to date. according to officials at the tax collectors of- fee it Is expected to pick up con sidrably during the month of Janu- ary and to reach a normal figure by February 2. when the tax becomes delinquent for the year,
 According to officials at the tax collectors office yesterday total of 3,531 straight receipts covering payments for the current year have been issued, while 270 receipts COW ering payments for the current and past years combined have been is- sued. Estimates are that approxi- mately sO,0oo persons in the county, are liable to payment of the tax men and women together. It Is ex- pected that the majority of those liable will make their payments oe- fore the tax becomes delinquent.
 Under the law, 1t is stated, every person in the county more than Zl years of age and under 45 is liable for payment of the tax before they will be allowed to vote. Those over 4b are not required to pay any poll tax. being exempt under the consu- tuition froin further payments when they reach that age.
 The present qualified voting strength of the county Is estimated by M. E. Morris, chairman of the board of registrars. to be approxi- mately 50,000 men and women. Sev- eral thousand additional voters com posed of those who have come of age
