THE BALLOT.

In all parts of the state the circuit
clerks are touring the counties now
with the registration books. There
will be an election throughout the
state of Mississippi on the 18th day
of August, this year. In that cleo
ton your congressman for the next
two years will be elected. One U. S.
Senator for term Of six years will
be elected. Judges, circuit and chan
Gerry, will be elected in every district
in the state. Four important posi-
tons to be filled. Next year, 1923,
will be the general state and county
election.
If you are 81 years of age or over
or will be II on or before the It'll
day of November, 1922, you are en-
titled to register and vote this year,
provided you have paid on or before
the first day of February of this year
all taxes legally required of you and
which you had chance to pay for
the two preceding years. If you be-
came 81 years of age after the first
day of February of 1921 you were
not subject to pay poll tax last year
and will not have to pay this year
until fall, hence in that case you can
register even though you did not pay
poll tax last year. If you are ov-
er so years of age you do not have
to pay poll tax, so you can register
! without the payment of poll tax.
The time for registering is getting
short. You must register before the
9TH day of July if you are to vote in
the election this year. M
Some of our best women are
shrinking from the ballot because
they say it is not woman's job, In
this they are wrong. The Govern
ment gave you the ballot and without
your asking and now that you have it
it is your duty to assume the respon-
sibilities of citizenship thus put upon
you and to discharge your duty with
fidelity. So don't fail to register
and don't fail to vote.
When you stay away from the polls
and allow others to do the voting
you are simply allowing others tc
run the government, and yet you
must pay your taxes and obey the
law just as those who vote must do
In free government like ours the
whole system rests squarely upor
the ballot.
You get prohibition in this coun.
try by voting to elect men to con
gress or the legislature who favor
prohibition. If you stay at home ane
let the whiskey people do the voting
then you will have the saloon. So
you see where you come in as vot
er-as a private citizen. This gov
eminent belongs to you, it is your af
fair and you should have your par
in running it. And you should re
member, to, that your vote, no matte,
how poor you . are, no matter nov
humble in life, no matter how littl'
you know, counts as much as thu
richest and most powerful man O.
woman in the nation.
Above all things you should re
member that the future of this Re
public depends upon the ballot yo1
cast. If you keep your vote cleal
and intelligent the government will
stand for ages and will serve its PEG
pie without frowns or favors. Blu
If the ballot is put up as a matter 0
commerce and sold and bartered yo'
will reap the reward sooner or Later
The man who buys in will sell GU
and you will be burdened with take
to pay corrupt bounties to the fav
ored few while the teeming man

Regarding Death
Of Illinois Girl

iHOOPESTON, H., April 2S.-
Pending further questioning of j. G.
Wyman, former fiance of Miss Ger
trude Hanna, 25-year-old school
teacher, whose body was found in the
basement of the untenanted parson-
age of the First United Presbyterian
church yesterday, no further steps
had been taken tonight to examine
the viscera of the girl.
According to w. T. Hanna, father
Of the dead girl. Wyman, widower,
whose home is in Palestine, ILL.,, for
merly boarded at the Hanna home,
and became engaged to Miss Hanna.
The engagement was broken last NO
vember, Hanna said DR.. j. G. Fisher,
county physician at Danville, after
an autopsy today, expressed the
opinion that the girl had died OF
suffocation.
On Jan. 8, 1920, Miss Hanna was
committed to the asylum at Kanka-
kee on petition of her sister, but was
released shortly afterward and had
apparently acted normally since
then. Relatives also said she was a
victim of epilepsy.
