WANT THE POLL TAX COLLECTED
Democratic Committee Sends Out
Letters to Sheriffs of the
State Explaining Law
Letters hav e been sent to all the
sheriffs in the state by the Demo
cratic State Central Committee
suggesting that the sheriffs have
a deputy at, each of the polling
precincts who shall proceed to col
lect poll tax from all those who
present themselves to vote without
having paid their poll tax. The
letter explains that the law pro
vides no exemption from collec
tion of poll tax and states that the
sheriff may attach horses or prop
erty of any character for the col
lection of the poll tax. The col
lections if made on election day
with fees and delinquent additions
amounts to about $4 for each voter.
Under the election law the Sheriff
must have a deputy at each of the
voting places and the letter sug
gests that the sheriffs have their
deputies see to the collection of
the poll tax from all who ask to
vote without having paid their
poll tax.
The letters were issued because
of a general announcement made
by the Republicans that they in
tend to disregard the poll tax
amendment. It is evident from
the tone of the circulars issued by
the Republicans that many of them
will seek to vote without present
ing poll tax receipts. The letters
issued by the Democratic State
Committee are for the purpose of
showing the sheriffs that they are
empowered to collect the poll tax
with penalties at any time.

ALL THE MODERN CONVENIENCES
Arrangements Being Made For
Comfort of State Fair Visit
ors at Hot Springs
Hot Springs, Aug. 25.—There
is not a park or fair ground in ex
istence where the needs and com
forts of the patrons have been
more carefully considered than at
Oaklawn Park, the Arkansas
State Fair grounds.
The elaborate #500,000 grounds
were wonderfully well equipped
in every respect before the Fair
Association began remodeling it.
There were complete waterworks,
electric light and sewerage sys
tems, etc. The Fair Association
has added materially to each of
these important factors.
The double track trolley line
enters the grounds at the mam
gate and the electric car service
over this line has been so arranged
that it will amount to a continual
stream of cars from six o’clock in
the morning until one o’clock the
following morning. Five thous
and passengers can be carried each
way within a single hour. This is
an unusual advantage which,
coupled with the modern gate
system being established, will be
of the greatest convenience to the
public.
I wo large check rooms are be
ing built for the care of parcels,
and a large portion of the park
has been set aside as “Rest Park”
and is being equipped with seats
and tables for the pleasure and
service of the State Fair visitors.
An elaborate daily program and
guide to the grounds is being pub
lished which will be given away
free to many thousand visitors,
and will be well worth saving as a
souvenir of the first State Fair.
The extensive work of building
added stables for the stock depart
ment, making the great Midway
Pikes, shelving for the thousands
of exhibits, equipping the audi
torium, and added electric light
ing, etc., will be completed by the
first of September and the grounds
will be in readiness just one month
before the opening day of the State
Fair.
There will be no delay. On
October 1st, the opening day of
the Fair, everything will be as
complete as on October 10th, the
closing day. The entire ten days
will be record-breaking gather
ings of Arkansas.
