I found this in an antique vanity I purchased. I'm posting some info on what a poll tax is. Interesting read.

poll tax in 1950s Alabama was a financial fee required to vote, primarily acting as a "gatekeeping" tool designed to disenfranchise African Americans and poor whites from participating in elections. It was a key element of the Jim Crow laws, officially enshrined in the state's 1901 constitution to limit the electorate, particularly by making voting economically impossible for those with limited income.

The poll tax remained in place until the 24th Amendment was ratified in 1964, which prohibited the tax in federal elections, and the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional for state elections in 1966.
