Now is the time of the year when ye
dealers in ladies fineryj do make great
spreads, and ye fair women clasp their
hands in fond delight and exclaim in ec
stacy: ‘ Oh-h-h! How love-e-e-ly!”
She gazeth upon ye many beautiful
colors, and seeth ye rainbow tints melt
ing inco one another with exquisite ef
fect; she luoketh at ye jaunty hat, trim
med in tips and feathers and ribbons
and plumes with marvelous taste; she'
casteth her eyes in admiration upon ye
dress goods, and rustling silks and
shiny satins, and ye pretty knick knacks
and.gew-gaws and fancy notions; she
goeth into raptures over ye flimsy,
foamy, dreamy, diaphanous, delectable
stuff, which wines and flings and clings
with fairy-like touch.
It is a time for delightful inspection
and desire for riches. Such displayss
would bring to ideal femininity a philo
sophical Hypatia. I watched the ladies
come and go at one of these places, and
it was positively inspiring to note their
enthusiasm. As I styl
ishly dressed lady said:
“I wonder what this brown lady’s
cloth is worth ’ ’
I don’t know to what brown lady s-be
referred, and she didn’t stop to explain-
She was a fast talker. She went on
talking and this is about as 1 remember
what she said.
“Oh-h-h! Perfectly ex-x-xquisite!
With a yoke of'yellow taffetas —yellow
revers”—(that must be the Etowah)
“white lace bands” (East Rome, I
guess) “charming bodice effect—heavily
braided—soutache—green and boucle
threads—coppery hue—cut bias,” and
a whole lot of other things J couldn't
catch. All the other ladies said she was
exactly right, and I knew spe was ri> ht
about that “cut bias.”
*
I passed on to another group, and
here’s all I remember about what.they
said:
‘' Beau-u-u-tis ul! ”
“Per-r-r-fectly divi-i-ine!”
“Is-s-s-n’t that love-e-ly!”
These remarks were repeated over and
over again, and I heard them echoing
from all parts of the building.
A fellow I knew came along, and I
expressed the pleasure I received in no
ting the unchecked enthusiasm of the
ladies. I grew real eloquent over the
delights of watching them, but he cut
me short with a sarcastic sniff.
“Huh,” he growled. “You wait un
til you get married. ”

HOW YOU MAY VOTE
Attorney General Terrell Gives His
Opinion On it
POIHIS . OUT SOME ERRORS
In fcbe General Registration Law mu Printed
In the Act us 1894 -Who are Enti
tled to Vote.
The following opinion of Attorney
General Terrell in regard to the man
ner in which voters should vote will
be read with interest by all who ex
pect to participate in the coming elec
tion : -
State of Georgia. Attorney General’s
Office, Atlanta, Sept. 26, 1896. Hon.
A. D. Candler, Secretary of State,
Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: Replying to
your request of this date for an official
opinion as to what voters may vote at
the county site precinct under the
provisions of the general registration
law, I submit the following :
I doubt my authority to give you an
official opinion upon this question, as
under, the law the official opinions of
the attorney general are confined to
the governor ana state house officers
on questions connected with the
several departments of state, but on
account of the general interest mani
fested on the question in a large num
ber of letters received by me lately
from many counties in the state upon
this subject, and the apparent con
fusion which exists in the public mind
as to who may vote at the county site
precinct, which you state is indicated
by numerous letters to you, I have
thought best to waive the question of
official authority and investigate the
matter and give you my conclusion.
There are several errors in the gen
eral registration law as printed in the
acts of 1894, and it may be well to
carefully note these. By comparing
the printed act with the enrolled act,
on file in the office of secretary of
state, which is the law of force, the
following errors appear: Tbe word
“ hereinafter ” in the seventh line of
section 9 should be read “herein
before,” the word “not” should be
inserted before the word “established”
in the eighth lino of section 10 the word
“for” in the eighteenth line of the
same section should read “of,” and
the words “precinct at the” should
be inserted before the word “ court
house” in the twentieth line.
Under these two sections, 9 and 10,
it is the duty of the county registrars
at or before the hour appointed for
opening the polls to furnish the
managers of the election at each vot
ing precinct in the county one or more
printed for clearly written copies of
the list of registered voters for tbe
militia district or city ward in which
the voting precinct is situated, and in
addition thereto they are required to
furnish the managers of the county
site precinct the list of registered
voters in each militia d strict or city
ward in which no election precinct is
established or opened, and also to
furnish the managers at the county
site precinct a list of the registered
voters of each and every militia dis
trict in the county, the voting pre
cinct of which is situated outside of
an incorporated town
Section 10 provides that every person
whose name is upon the list of registered
voters may vote at the election precinct of
the militia district, or city ward in which
he resides, also that a person may vote at
the i ounty precinct if no election precinct
is established or opened in the militia d!s
tnct or city ward in which he lives, and
also that a person may vote at the county
site precinct if he resides in a militia dis-
I trict in which the election precinct for
I same is situated outside of an incorporated
town, in the latter instance the managers
are required to administer an oath to tbe
effect that the person has not voted else
where in that election.
Yours very truly,
J. M. Terrell,
Attorney General.
