While Floyd has had a registration
law for some time, this general law
has many features that are new.
Among these is the checking over of
th* list by the registrars. Messrs.
Trout, Gailliard and Fleetwood are
the registrars for this county and
they have done excellent work. They
will practically finish their work
today and Monday will go over the
lists and have them in perfect shape
to send out Tuesday.
They have gone over the list care
fully, and it is a pleasing fact to note
that only four names out of 4,639 have
been stricken. Two of these had
moved out of the county, and two
were stricken for criminal offenses.
This is an excellent showing.
Wherever the registrars found a
name registered and also upon the
list of defaulters, he was sent for to
show cause why his name should not
be stricken. He would then appear be
fore them, and in many cases show re
ceipts and show that his name was on
the defaulters’ list by mistake.
To one such subpoena a unique re
ply was received. It was from an in
dignant citizen who did not send bis
reply to the registrars but to one of
the court house officials. Following is
an extract from his note:
“I hav got recetes so evry year I
bav ben in the state and have com
plyed with all laws, and as. far as I
cure bout votin you fellars can go to
hell thar is not a dam man I want to
vote for no how that is running for
ofice.”
This registration law has accom"
plished a good deal in the way of col
lecting taxes. Old dues have been paid
up that might never have been se
cured, and the amount is considera*
ble. While it has troubled some it 10.
cates the voters unmistakably, giving
his residence, age and occupation.
Floyd’s number of registered voters
is the largest of any county in the
state with three exceptions. These
are: Fulton with something over
12,000; Richmond with 6,000 and some
over, and Chatbam about the same as
Richmond. Bibb falls nearly 1,500 be
low Floyd, and so does Muscogee.
Frederick Warde, the actor, had
some very nice things to say before he
left with his company for Atlanta yes
terday where he will appear for two
nights and a matinee. Speaking of the
audiences in Rome he said they were
always intelligent and appreciative
though sometimes not as large as be
would desire. He said he noticed the
Shorter college girls and that they
looked “sweet and lovely.” He re
gards the Shakespearean drama as
one of the best educators of young
people. The version of “King Lear”
which he plays omits the torture scene
where Gloucester has his eyes put
out, and he thinks it the best.
“My first trip to the South,” said
Mr. Warde, “was in 1876 when I was
supporting Mr. Booth. I also came
South with Mr. McCullough when I
was a member of his company. Since
I have bad my own company I have
been visiting the South almost annu
ally. I like the Southern people ai.d
their enthusiastic audiences.”

TilUi ROME TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3. l»y«.
Some one suggested that the char
acter of “King Lear” was the best
in which had ever seen Mr. Warde. He
seemed pleased but did not say it was
his favorite character.
Miss Wilburhan who appeared in
the character of “Cordelia” lives in
Honesdale, Penn., and this is her first
trip South. Miss Tread Well, of Mem
phis, Tenn., in the part of “Regan’’
makes her debut with Warde this sea
son. Both are young and very ambi
tious, and hope to reach the topmost
round in the theatrical profession. 1
Taking everything into considera
tion I think Warde’s“ King Lear” was
the most pleasing Shakesperian pro
duction I have seen in Rome. It is a
grand play. Honest, faithful, rugged
old Kent. Gloucester, the good and
true, Edgar, the pure-hearted, Ed
mund. the selfish and scheming in
triguer, Goneril and Regan, the heart
less daughters, Cordelia, the good and
true, are all characters that appeal.
Lear is one of the most difficult of
Shakespeare’s characters to present,
and as this king I think Mr. Warde
gave us his greatest piece of acting.

His subject is ‘‘Pythianism Exposed,”
and is described as being full of wit,
wisdom and eloquence.
Here is what the Decatur, 111., Review
says of his lecture there:
“The speaker showed himself to be
entitled to every word that has ever
been said of his eloquence and versa
tile. His description of the initiation
of Isaac Eickstein was simply immense.
At one moment the comical description
elicited roars of laughter and applause.
Next the sympathies of the audience for
the frightened and suffering candidate
were apparently inexpressable. Turn
ing from the humorous to the tragic in
Dyonisius, Pythias and Demon, he
showed a familiarity with history and
human hearts that completely captured
his hearers. His tribute to noble wo
manhood was grand and baffles all at
tempt at description.”

SOUNDS A WARNING
Rev. Mr. Bigham, an Eminent Divine,
As to Prohibition,
NOT A POLITICAL MEASURE
The Preacher'Makes a Bold Declaration
For the Prohibition Cause
Through Loc>l Option.
“I have been a prohibitionist for
more than fifty years; read and added
to its literature by book and newspa
per articles; shared its toils, triumphs,,
defeats. In Georgia we never made an
appreciable advance against the liquor
traffic until local option was pressed
to the front. Now, we have 106. dry
counties, made such by local option;
made such by the votes of all parties;
made such without a prohibition
party.”
These are the words of Rev. R. W.
Bigham, now pastor of the Decatur
Methodist church, and one of the old
est and most honored ministers in the
North Georgia conference.
Dr. Bighrm is of the same view of a
great majority of ministers who have
spoken on the prohibition question.
There is a ring of emphasis in his
words which speak his convictions in
no uncertain way.
Dr. Bigham has been stationed in
nearly every circuit in North Georgia,
He has all his life been a Methodist
preacher and his son, Dr. P. J. Big
ham, was pastor of Trinity church in
Atlanta for some months and resigned
to “accept the secretaryship of the
board of missions of the church South.
In addition to his work as a pastor
Dr. Bigham has written many books
which have been widely circulated
throughout the South. His descrip
tion of the life of a ’49-er is one of the
most picturesque stories of that stir
ring period,
He made the trip when the gold
craze was on in California and remain
ed there for some years.
No minister occupies a higher sta
tion in the conference for seniority of
service and real ability than Dr. Big
ham.
An Emphatic D deration.
Dr. Bigham was seen at his home in
Decatur. Here are his ringing words
on the question of prohibition in
politics:
“I have been a prohibitionist for
more than fifty years; read and added
to its literature by book and news
paper articles; shared its toils, tri
umphs, defeats.
“In Georgia we never made an ap
preciable advance against the liquor
traffic until local option was pressed
to the front. Now, we have one
hundred and six dry counties, made
such by local option; made such by
the votes of all parties; made such
without a prohibition party.
Prohibition is the one great thought
for the public welfare to which, kept
free of party orgainzations, the voters
of all parties can, at will, give their
support without disrupting parties, or
abrading party ties, or evoking party
strifes " It is the great interest in
common to all the people composing
all the parties.
“The people will and ought to keep
it out of political partyism. By the
help of all parties it has succeeded
and will succeed, succeeding
be backed by a sentiment that will
insure its observance and perpetuity.
“The hope of prohibition |is to keep
it before the people of all party on its
own merits. Soon after its defeat in
I Atlanta, after its first two years of
triumph there, Henry Grady wrote to
Ime deploring the defeat, but added,
I ‘lf I live Atlanta, if not the whole.
, state, shall yet wear the white crown
of prohibition. Let us at least pre
serve the crown intact. ”
“Suace the whig party fell among
the democrats; the republicans and
others, which stripped it of its rai
ment, dividing it among tbemse ve°,
leaving it worse than (half dead.) 1
have scarcely known for what to vote.
But, until it comes to, best reasons
tell me that prohibition platitudes in
party platforms are to be avoided, for
the sake of the white crown.”
