NO MATTER HOW YOU VOTE
VOTE.
(Southern Planter.)

L
wives of farmers, their sons ano
daughters, would vote in the Scna.
must pay their poll taxes; and there
is time limit set for such pay
ment No one can qualify who has
not' paid his poll tax at least six
months in advance of the November
election day.
This payment can be made on any
day of January, February, March or
April OF this year or during the first
week of May; if not made by that
time there can be no vote in August
and no vote on election day.
The most inestimable privilege of
a free country is that every man
shall have an equal say in govern
ment and every woman too. Who
ever refuses to qualify himself or
herself for the exercise of that high
prerogative has no right to COM
plain of bad government or of poor
representation. The voter has a r1ght
to object but The non-voter instead
of having such righ must accept
his share of responsibility for the
bad government or the poor repre-
sentation which afflicts the people.
The total vote in Virginia elect
ions is pitifully small in comparison
with the total that should be regis
tered. Scarcely one-fourth of Tie
qualfiable vote was cast in the gen
eral election last November, scarce
ly one-fourth is ever cast.
1t is time enough later to discuss
respective merits of candidates whu
are appealing for your support M
people in the State have SO much at
stake in good government as have
the farmers-they should register
:and vote in all elections.

CIVIC LEAGUE FLOWER SALE.

Now that Christmas is over ant
the ground hog has come out-on,
thoughts naturally turn to spring
and with spring comes the thought OF
flowers. That old saying that you
can Judge the occupant of the house
by the lawn, is very true, for did
you ever pass a house however hum
BILE it might be-and see the yard
full of flowers. That you didn't i'm
mediately become Interested in the
reople who live there and decide
they were good people-lovers os
nature and beauty, which is God
Last year the Civic League had a
flower sale--many people did not un-
derstand what it was for, nor now
it was conducted. 1t was success
and we are going to try it again
and hope for the cooperation of .y-
cry one in town.
lt is this way. Every spring most
c'lery housckceper buys some flower
10 add to her collection, perhaps jusr
the thing she wants-sone one else
has and would be glad to divide if
they only knew each others wish.
Now in givingand buying thrue the
CIVIC League you are helping i'm three
ways. The flower you give isn't cost
ing YOU any thing-it helps beau
tify the buyers garden, and the lit.
tie she pays for it, goes to the Civ
ic League where it is put to som,
good use, either in improving our
town or improving our school. Last
spring we cleared $50 which went 10
helping equip the domestic science
room. We hope to have our sale the
10th. of May so won't you begin now
to plan what you are going to give.
Every kind of flower and garden
plant will sell. We want tomatoes,
pepper, cabbage, etc. and gcraniums,
sweet william, holly-hoclss, roses
lark spur, lilacs, ferns, etc., etc. But
when v, you think of giving you must
also remember that to make money.
th,n, plants have to be bought. We
sell most reasonably, or can afford to
when we have no expense, so don't
order .'i,,a from a florist until you SET
what we have. We may have irsr
what you want all fresh and ready
to put out.
