MANY TAKE NOTION
TO PAY POLL TAXES
Several Persons Decide To Exercise
Suffrage After 13 Years
Several persons have paid back poll
taxes covering: a period of several
years, according: to announcement by
an official in Tax Collector J. F.
Hawkins’ office Thursday afternoon.
Some paid for 15 years or more. It
is thought that the approaching elec
tions and the necessity of having poll
taxes paid before being permitted to
vote have caused the rush at the tax
collector's office.
W. A. Cushen paid $31.50. covering
his poll tax from 1901 to 1922. G. L.
Affnew paid the same amount. J. E.
McPherson paid $27.50 for 18 years,
and others paid as follows:
Lee Curtis. $25.50, from 1901 to
1917; A. J. Bonds. $19.50, from 1910
to 1923; Robert Martin. $21. from
1909 to 1922, and Duncan McCormack,
$22.50 from 190S to 1923.
Former service men are required
to pay poll tax this year, but will
be exempted hereafter if the bill
granting such exemption, which will
be vot^d on next spring, is passed.
