Mut THE PAYMENT OF POLL TUX Citizens not Running Over Each Other to Buy Receipts. The citizen· of Ellis county ars not breaking their necks in a wild desire to buy a poll tax receipt be· fore the price advances on the first day of next February, yet County Tax Collector Jîratcher says he i* doing a very nice business. As a mle, howrver, the people are a lit tle slow in coming forward with thf necessary wherewithal for the pay ment of the tax imposed and re quired to be settled before a person is qualified to vote. Γρ to date just 128 persons who vote at the four Waxahachie boxes have provided themselves with poll tax receipts. At Ennie 1!»4 receipts have been is sued, while at Palmer If*» have been sold. This is more than half the voting strength of the town. Ferris is also making a good showing while some of the other towns in the county are making a slow start. Unless there is a remarkable increase In the number of per sons who desire to pay tax, it is not at ail impossible that the voting strength in Ellis county at the next election will be reduced to fiOOO. S,e cordintf to the rolls of the ass·· U!V~ 10,707 persons were assessed is not at all likely that th number will pay the tax. I'nder the Terrell election ",'>e (''" tax collector is allowed 15 r each poll tax receipt iss" r? amount of poll tax due E'^"* on the rolls of ΙίΚΚί is $ the entire amount is paid'vj u tion of same will cost*' ' SI .tXXi.QTi. This amount' Sole "Ρ 1*®^^ come out of the tax cotl· M.,u < must come nut '«f thi cou"Vgen" fund. Ellis county gets only 25 cents of each poll tax paid, which Sfoes to the road and bridge fund.
