TAXES MIST HE RAID TO VOTE
Among Other Qualifications Required,
Is a Receipt for Dues to Treasurer
Among requirements for voters
participating in the general election j
next November is that they shall ,
have paid 11*27 taxes at least six
months before the timv of tin- election.
( unsiderable misunderstanding on
the point has prevailed of late, following
publishing of reports that participants
in recent bond elections
must have pa id taxes prior to January
1. 11*28. This rule, it pointed out
by persons conversant with ballot!
regulations, was necessary because if j
the t.uxes had Iven paid later, it l
vjiould have been with penalty, and !
would have been six months prior to
the elections.
Of course, there are other regulations,
such as the residence requirement
of two years in the state and
'six months in the county, and also
the rule for registration on the county
rolls. However, these points are
generally understood, and confusion
rolated only to the matter of tax
payments.
So, if you paid your county taxes
during the jieriod allowed up to
March, and are otherwise qualified,
you can vote in the general election
this year?if Rule 32 dosen't influence
you to do differently.

How Two Hoblntt
Huilt Their Home
A correspondent writing in the
Rock Hill Record of hurt week telle
the following interesting etory of
how two robins decided to remain in
Rock Hill for the nesting season end
how they built their home:
"I>et me tell you how much fun
I had recently (it wasn't at a bridge
party, tea or reception), and at tfie
same time learned a bceuttfu! leeson
in Nature'* own school?a leeson
of patience, courage, perseverance
ami good cheer from two little
robins.
"Rising earlier than usual Friday
morning, not yet accustomed to the
sun flooding my bedroom so early,
I crossed to the window to Ibok out
on a nearby pear tree, which does
not cease to be a miracle to me from
the time the seemingly dead branches
burst into abloom until the last
tender leaf is full grown, and was
attracted by an unusual commotion.
Flitting about ami chattering
noisily about among the boughs ware
two saucy red-breasted robins, evidently
bent on the selection of a siite
for their summer home. Much to
my delight the decision was made in
favor of u branch near my winding.
It was lots of fun to watch them,
and at such close range; the infinite
care with which every twig was
placed; the patience with which the
wind was defied, When the work
would have to be started anew: the
dexterity and dispatch with which the
building was done and .the pleasure
derived from the work. Only one
of these feathered builders did the
manual la!bor. We will take it for
granted it was the male, as it should
be, while his consort stayed nearby
to give encouragement and approval
with a cheery song. Together they
flew to the ground for material for
the new residence, and in an incredibly
short time the builder was back
with his first load of straw, almost
too much for the little beak, a few
stray pieces falling, and, unlike the
careless sparrow, he would fly back
for each falling piece until the first
load of straw was safely lodged on
the selected spot. 'While the work of
building was being done the little
helpmate would perch on the topmost
limb of a fig tree close by, and sing;
her song of cheer until the next trip
wax made, when the same procedure
was repeated and continued until I
left an hour or more later.
'.'Upon returning in the afternoon,
I hurried to see if thq home had
been completed, and it was all intact,
ready for occupation, I thought.
But all day Saturday there was no
housekeeping done in the new home,
I and I had begun to wonder if it was
| to be abandoned and why ? But
| Sunday morning I found out. Many
of us probably hated to hear the
downpour of rain, but it was just
. what those little birds were waiting
for, so they could plaster their home,
and they were at it bright and early,
carrying mud to make it impregnable
i to the wind and weather. I
"Sitting at my desk, my thoughts
'have dwelt pleasantly in the mem1
ory . of those little "home-makers"
' and their new quarters. Fortunate
i I am to have them for neighbors and
| fortunate the

Benton Gang Leader
Goes To Gallows
Benton, 111., April ID.?Charles
Birger, notorious southern Illinois
'gang leader, was hanged at 9:52 a m.
today for the murder of Mayor Joe
Adams of West City. Birger was
pronounced dead five minutes later.
Nearly 500 spectators were crowded
in the stockade.
B: rger slept fairly well in the
eaily morning hours and ate a slight
breakfast. Until a late hour he sat
In his cell and talked to newspaper reporters
and other visitors.
"I've been a foo-l," Birger said,
"I've been no good. I've played
the game and lost, but I'll lose like
a man. I've liked to live and spend
money; maybe I made it in ways
folks call crooked?-gambling and
bootlegging and that.kind, of business.
I I know now that I've done a lot of
things that 1 shouldn't. I'm convicted
of a crime I didn't commit, hut I
have committed a lot of crimes, so
I guess things are even. We got too
strong against the law and that broke
it all up."
Mrs. E. Anions, first wife of Birger,
was one of the last to visit hi mi
last night. She came from Portland."

ago. Arrangements were made yesterday
to care for t.he body at an undertaking
establishment here. Nathan
Birger, the former gang leader's
j nephew, had a hearse on hand to con!
vev the body to St. Louis, where ;t
will he taken to the home of Mrs.
Ray Shamsky, Birger's sister, and
held until tin fuheral Saturday.
Attempt To Steal Car
On last Saturday night, between
'he hour of midnight and daylight or
Sunday morning thieves robbed l)r,'
Turner's coupe of his case of instruments,
the rims and tires from the]
two rear wheels, threw the cushions
out, and left evidence that they had
made the attempt, to get the car
started. It is a very natural in-1
ference that they first attempted to;
tal.e the car apd nil olse c innected
wi'h it, but failing in their effort to
get the car started they took the
articles mentioned above ami left DrJ
Turner the loser to the aim unt of a
hundred dollars or more, i* >u!es the
additional expense he will he put to
in replacing his physician's case, in-t
struments ami medicines, which he,
uses in his medical practict, in addition
to the inconvenience he will be
put to ur.til these can be replaced.'

and that them was more than one en- ,
gaged in the robbery.?Kershaw Era.

An Outrageous and Hilly taw
The other day a citizen of South
Hill, Va., came down to Alcota, in'
Clarendon county, $outh Carolina,
and "aecured ?om? labor for bit
farm in Virginia." Later he can*
to Alcolu to arrange for the truxMportation
of some of the member#
of three families to Virginia. Already
the families had made preparation
to go to South Hill and had
shipped their household goods. The
Virginian was arrested by the sheriff
and later released upon the advice
of the circuit solicitor after ho
had agreed to forfeit a bond of $500.
All this is published in the Manning
Times. The sheriff is quoted as hav*
ing said that the Virginian acted "In
a very gentlemuniy manner following
his arrest" and said that he was ignorant
of the law.
Presumably, the officers in Clarendon
county and the solicitor were
performing their statutory duties and
no criticism of them is here offeVed.
The law under which the Virginian
was arrested is an outrageous one.
It should never have been enacted.
It ought to have been repealed long
ago. It happens that the three families
of Clarendon who were about tv>
go to Virginia are white people, but
that has nothing to do with the matter.
The folly and iniquity of the
law would be illustrated none the
less had they been negroes.
Within the last 26 years thousands
of persons have been induced
to come into the* South Carolina cotton
mill villages from the mountains
of North Carolina, Tennessee and
probably southwestern Virginia.
Often South Carolina cotton mills!
have sent people into those regions
to find immigrants and, doubtless, in
numerous cases their expenses were
I paid. If these mountain states had
had on their books statutes similar
to that of South Carolina, scores of
South Carolinians would have been
sent to jail and a valuable element
of what is now our population would
have remained in their mountain
i homes, where they would not have
been so well conditioned as they are
in thjir new homes.
The need of South Carolina for
more inhabitants, for more labor,
Lr more men and women to utilize
its rich and idle resources is far
> greater than any or all of its other
j needs. The towns, the counties and
the state are spending money in conj
siderable sums for the purpose of inviting
immigrants. We are widely
advertising our advantages. Last
year the state, at an expense of $25,000,
published a handbook, and if its
object was not to present the attractions
of f.-outh Carolina to outsiders,
what was it ?
Yet, while we are leaving nothing
undone to persuade families of Indiana,
Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and
other states to come into South Carolina
and share in the benefits of its
citizenship, when a Virginia gentleman
comes in person into South
C arolina and persuades three white
families to go to his state we arrest
him as a common criminal.
Have not these white families of
Clarendon liberty to go where they
choose? If a Virginian comes to
C hai leston and invites a linotype operator
or an editor of the News and
Courier to accept employment in
RichmorM, 3hould he be sent to jail?
Would the operator or the editor be
guilty of a crime in listening to him
or in arriving at the conclusion that
he would better himself by emigrating.
The law is infamous, and worse
than infamous, because it is silly.
In principle, it means that a South
Carolinian is either an imbecile or!
a criminal if he concludes that he
would be wise to change his residence,
and it is tantamount to an
accusation by the state of South Carolina
that it is itself guilty of an offense
punishable with imprisonment
when it undertakes to influence citizens.
of other states to settle within
its borders.
The $500 of forfeited bail4 should
be returned to the Virginian, with
apology?or all the chambers of
commerce in Soutl\ Carolina should
burn their advertising "literature."?
