Such is the truth as far as the passing of the act, but the Bill No. 159 was not signed and made active at once. It was signed by Governor Cone on May 29, and filed in the office of the secretary of state on May 31. The law reads “That the pay- ment of a poll tax shall not be re- quired of any person, other quali-) fied as an elector to vote at any; primary, special, general, or other; j will guard against repetition of jsuch a holocaust as that which was recordgd of the hurricane which swept across the Florida | Keys on September 2, 1935. ‘REHABILITATES MANY DISABLED FEDERAL OFFICE OF EDUCA- TION MAKES REPORT ON SITUATION Steamship Gatun, of the Stand- ard Fruit and Steamship Com-! pany, arrived from | Philadelphia last night and at +9150 o’clock berthed at the main pier of the; Porter Dock Company.

One group of about 30 fami- lies was among the ables who were extended much needed aid. Now comes the time when to assist those in need is deemed necessary by the council and it is fervently hoped, it was said, that those who contributed in former days will resume their donations which will be solicited after a lapse of three month No formal pledge cards are to be presented for signatures by those who will be asked to help, but it is believed by those who are undertaking the resumption of this worthy and very commend- able work, that those who pre- viously gave their assistance will take up where they left off sev- eral months ago, and gladly re- sume their donations.
