The Raleigh News Observer factories in North Carolina, it is splendid favoring the rather strange that so few of abolishing of municipal poll tax them are in the eastern part of the State. Eastern Carolina produces most of the cotton in the State, but somehow the most of the cotton mills are located elsewhere. Halifax county pro- in 1904 about bales of cotton, and the estimated crop for was about bales; but in all this county there is but one cotton mill and that is at Roanoke Rapids With a mill or two at every town the price of cotton would be bit better all the time in the county and the county would get the ad vantage of the money which is spent in employing op- to spin the cotton. It ins strange that here where there is much cotton produced there should be so mills for the manufacture of it. Cannot those who have money in the various this part the be Induced to invest it in cotton mills To do this would be to help materially every com- in which such mills should be located The cotton is here, the money is here and the only thing needed for this work is some vigorous efforts for it Why not have th land Neck The Commonwealth's at the mills should be lo where the cotton is raised t a good one- grows from to bales of n and there is not a mi I the county for the man- of this product of our fields We pay enormous gel the cotton to the and they pay freights again I . bi hack In we had mills all Oils c d be saved, to say nothing of the profits arising fro the in in and the up of the communities where the mills are located. That paper refers to the limit of a Slate and county poll tax of and points out the hardship of S wage earner and the injustice of having to pay an tax of several dollars just for the privilege of living in a town. North Carolina stands almost in the lead of other States in i this burden upon her citizens. The News and Observer is a fact that nowhere else it- there placed such a burden upon the head many of the States the capitation tax is either forbidden or it is not levied. In those common wealths where it obtains it is limited to a figure within reason So, in South poll tax is limited to one dollar and no municipality may levy a tax on in Georgia poll tax may be levied for purposes of education and may never exceed one dollar Virginia limits the poll tax to one dollar for Stale purposes and to fifty cents for counties and municipal corporations. In Tennessee the poll tax is limited to a dollar for the State and a dollar for corporations. In other States it is forbidden by con- and. where not forbidden, is not levied.

Now there is one other change in that if made will be of to the public. When train No. was the and mail train a day that we had from the north, it was important that it came as early in the as possible, and in o to do this a connection with; the evening train out of Norfolk was broken. Since the ext-a tram has been put on bring- part of the mail in the forenoon, it is not so important evening train get in so early, and the Norfolk connection might easily be restored. By this people on each of roads branch- could go to and from Norfolk the same day and j have two or three hours to spend in that city As; it now train No to reach Greenville at p. m. rarely comes in on time. We believe it is to that nine times out of ten it comes in late enough to have made the Norfolk connection at had the delay been be- point instead of at Parmele.
