Paragould, Ark., Marcia 10, 1902.
F. G. Barton, Sheriff, Marion, Ark.:
You have asked my opinion as to
how parties who are otherwise quali
fied to vote, but who have not
r assessed with the assessor of your
county, may be supplemented and
put upon the tax books, and be per
mitted to pay their poll tax and vote
at any election held under the laws
of our State. Iu reply I call your
attention to the acts of 1895, page
5.2; under this act any person who
has resided in the State twelve
months and in the county six months
and township thirty days is entitled
to vote provided he pa} s his poll tax;
if he has not assessed regularly with
the assessor and thus had his name
Dut upon the tax books as certified
to you by the clerk, he may be sup
plemented in the following mannei:
He must make an application to the
county clerk stating in substance
that he is a qualified elector as
above, and that his name has been
left cff the list. This may be done
in any manner that will call the
clerk's attention to the fact that he
- is not assessed. It is not necessary
that any person should make an
davit, or even appear in person
)re the clerk in order that he be
the supp'emental poll tax
payment of a poll fee goes
fund; it is your
person twenty
coon
anyone whose name is EOt cn the list
tenders your payment of his poll tax,
I regard it your duty to receive it,
and execute to him a receipt for it,
especially if the clerk has refused
to list him.
The law was made for the pro
tection of the revenue to facilitate
the collection of taxes from all per
sons whoso duty it is to pay them.
Its object was not, as some seem to
think, to make disfraschisements in
given instances possible. I think,
ho wever, there will be no difficulty
about it, as I have a similar inquiry
from the cleik, which I feel it my
duty to answer in the same way.
Yours very truly,
(Signed.) G. W. Mubpiiy,
Attorney General.

Special Coiresnoniience.]
Little Rock, March 26.
Copious showers fell early this
morning, yret the track was compara
tively dry this afternoon and only a
little bit heavy, thanks to the porous
nature of the ground. Six good races
were “pulled off,” andj the bookies
had a good thing, as theyijvgenerally
do. When you see small cotories un
der the grand stand, where moisture
is sold, drinking ‘‘Pomeroy Sec.”
you can be sure that they are resi
dents of Easy street. On the other
hand the foamy beer is about all the
other fellow gets.
General interest seemed to center
in the fifth race, one mile. There
were nine starters, and the time was
within half a second of the Derby,
1:15.,. The talent backed El Caney
and he won easy.
Wax Taper also made a winning in
the fourth race, and was a prime
favorite with betters.
While the track and natural sur
roundings are excellent, the appoint
ments and accommodations of Clin
ton Park are very sorry. The old
grand stand used 25 years ago in con
nection with the slate fair, looks di
lapidated and uninviting, while most
of the stables are old and cramped.
Little Rock is without a racing or
ganization's Capt, Tiiles is the
head and front ol the present meet,
and to him alone is due the credit
for this amusement lie has held on
until a great interest has been de
veloped and now the opportunity of
fers for a permanent organization if
the busines men of our city desire
an attraction of this kind when a
first class establishment would give
credit '.o the city ond the state.

loss was $1000.
Cecil Rhodes, the noted English
financier and leader, died yesterday

forty seven years of age.
Civil service reformers have dis
covered that Miss Isabelle Hagner,
who is serving as Mrs. Roosevelt’s
private secretary, is carried on the
pay-rolls of the war department at
a salary of $810 a year. They assert
that thi3 is a violation of the spirit
of the civil service law if not an
actual one, as the law which provides
her salary does not contemplate her
service away from the department.
Miss Hagner .s also serving as the
social secretary of Mrs. Root, wife
of the secretary of war, and the fact
that she is paid by the government
was brought to light by the wives
of other cabinet members, who have
been demanding that thir husbands
detail clerks from the departments
to attend their correspondence.
A United States senator went to

This is the way it came: “To rooms

You shouldn’t charge me for tie

Virtue of Advertising.
If you want anything, advertise;
if you have anything to sell, adver
tise; if you want any information,
use printers ink.
I asked through the SoHpbone last
week who a certain fellow was,
giving a meager discription of him.
I soon had all the information I
wanted, A certain fellow passed
through the city a few days ago,
selling some very valuable prescrip
tions, a mere preventive for govern
ment snake bites. Only $25.00 each;
he sold two. If he had advertised or
stayed longer he might have sold a
half dozen. My friend above got

Editor Somphone:
As Bro. Hopkius has teen ripping
the county officials up the back, it
makes me feel like I wanted to tear
up something too, but not cur of
ficials. There needs to be some im
provement in our county farm. But
it takes time and money to do so.
We can’t use our time very much un
less we had money. I think the coun
ty farm should have separate apart
ments for the male and female. We
need this farm. Some who are sent
to such a place are not wholly unable
to make a partial support. If any
are seat there crazy, they should be
sont to the state asylum, where they
are fully equipped for the care and
treatment of such. Our legislature-' V
will be compelled to make appropri
ations for enlarging the lunatic asy
lum as it is now full and there are a
groat many over the state who ought
and need to be there. We n>-e in a
great deal better condition jhan
when we had no place for our unfor
tunate, decrepit people. Mind you,
if we had a hospital in Paragould,
and nothing for the inmates to do but
to live in luxury and ease, wo would
soon have quite a n”mber of appli
cants for admission.
It would take lots of money to
erect a hospital with sufficient pro
portions for the ar^mmodations nec
essary for such an undertaking. We
would s urn have a white elephant on
our hands. Our represen'atives even
