BOW YOU MAY VOTE
Attorney General Terrell Gives Bls
Opinion On it
POINTS OUT - SOME ERRORS
In the General Registration Law as Printed
In the Act of 1804 - 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. Atl nta, Sept. 26, 1896. Hon.
A. D. Candter. Secretary of State,
Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir : Replying to
your request of th is 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
6 >veral 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: The word
“ hereinafter ” in the seventh line of
section 9 should be read “ herein
before,” the word “not” should be
inserted before the word “established”
ip the eighth line of section 10 the word
“ for” in the eighteenth line of the
same section should read “of,” and
the words “precinct at the” should i
be inserted before the word “ court j
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 country one or more '
printed for clearly written copies of j
the list of registered voters for the I
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 district 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 county precinct if no election precinct
is established or opened m the militia dis
trict 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
trict in which the election precinct for
same is situated outside of an incorporated
to vn; in the latter instance the managers
Cancer
CI the Breast.
Mr. A. H. Crausby, of 158 Kerr St.,
Memphis, Tenn., says that his wife
paid no attention to a small lump which
appeared in her breast, but it soon de
veloped into a cancer of the worst type,
and notwithstanding the treatment of
the best physicians, it continued to
spread and grow rapidly, eating two
holes in her breast. The doctors
as oo n pronounced
her incurable. A
celebrated New York
specialist then treat
ed her, but she con
tinued to grow worse
and when informed
that both her aunt
and grandmother had
died from cancer he
gave the case up as
hopeless.
Someone then re
commended S.S.S.
and though little hope remained, she
begun it, and an improvement was no
ticed. The cancer commenced to heal and
when she had taken several bottles it
disappeared entirely, and although sev
eral years have elapsed, not a sign of
the disease has ever returned.

The Discovery Saved Hie Life.
Mr. G. Caillouette. druggist, Beavers
ville, 111., says: “To Dr. King’s New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with la grippe and tried all the physi
cians for miles about, but of no avail, and
was given up and and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery
in my store I sent for a bottle and began
its use, and from the first dose began to
get better, and after using three bottles
was up and about again. It is worth its
weight in gold. We won’t keep store or
hou e without it.” Get a free trial bot

The Pretty Pansy.
One of the most cheerful flowers of
this and of my mother’s garden was the
happy faced little pansy that under va
rious fanciful folk names has ever been
loved. Like Montgomery’s daisy, it
blossomed everywhere. Its Italian name
means idle thoughts; the German, “lit
tle stepmother.” Spenser called it
“pawnee.” Shakespeare said maidens
called it “love in idleness,” and Dray
ton named it heartsease. Dr. Prior gives
these names: Herb trinity, three faces
under a hood, fancy, flamy, kiss me, pull
me, cuddle unto you, tickle my fancy,
kiss me ere I rise, jump up and kiss me,
kiss me at the garden gate, pink of my
Joan. To these Jet me add the New
England names: Birdseye, garden gate,
johnny jump up, kit run about, none so
pretty and ladies’ delight.
All these testify to the affectionate
and intimate friendship felt for this
laughing and fairly speaking little gar
den face, not the least of whose endear
ing qualities was that after a half
warm, snow melting week in January
or February this brightsome little “de
light” often epened a tiny blossom to
greet 'and cheer us, a true ‘ ‘jump up
and kiss me,” and proved by its bloom
ing the truth of the graceful Chinese
verse:
Ere man is aware
That the spring is here
The plants have found it out.
—Scribner’s Magazine.
Two Lives Lost.
Mrs. Phobe Thomas, of Junction City,
111., was told by her doctors she had con
sumption and that there was no hope for
her, but two bottles of King’s New Dis
covery completely cured her and she says
it sived her life, Mr. Thomas Eggers,
139 Florida street, San Francisco, suf
fered from a dreadful cold, approaching
consumption, tried without result every
thing else then bought one bottle ot Dr.
King’s New Discovery and in two weeks
was cured. He is naturally thankful. It
is such results, of which these are sam
ples, that prove the wonderful ellicacy yf
this medicine in coughs and colds. Free

A Rude Awakening.
A minister named Pettigrew, on ask
ing why his flock were so regardless
of his exhortation to them to remain
awake during the sermons, was told
that his own wife set the example, but
as she sat below the pulpit she was out
of the minister’s sight. On this it was
arranged that on the following Sunday
the informant should, hold up his finger
when Mrs. Pettigrew succumbed to
Morpheus.
The preacher bent forward and saw
his consort enjoying a snug nap. With
a tremendous blow on the pulpit he
aroused her from her slumber, and as
the lady, whq, according to the legend,
was destitute of both fortune and beau
ty, looked up, he addressed her in ac
cents of wrath: “Sit ye up there, Jean
Pettigrew! Ye are na bonuie. I gat nae
tocher wi’ ye, and gin ye hae na heav
enly grace about ye I hae gotten an
unca bad bargain o’ ye!”—Pittsburg

The Whale's Mouth.
The whale’s mouth is the largest in
stitution of .the kind iu the animal
kingdom, being capable of containing
otfer two hogsheads of water. The
whale’s throat, however, is so small
that an orange would scarcely pass
through it, and he lives on the minute
sea animals contained i’n the water.
Drawing in a large quantity, he strains
it through his whalebone sieve, retain
ing the animal organisms it contains
and throwing out the water through
circular holes in his head. Whales en
gaged in feeding are said by whalers to
be ‘ ‘spouting. ’ ’

TOWN CHARTERS ARE VALID
•h* Supreme Cnim of th. State ot G.or
gt** RevemeK 11. Former Ruling.
Atlanta, Ot 2.—The supreme court
has reversed its former decision iu the
tase of the cbirtor of Pinehurst The
new decision makes valid the charters
of 96 towns of less than 2,000 inhabi
tants. whose charters were, before the
decision was rendered, null and void.
When the first decision of the supreme
lourt was made, in this interesting case,
only two of the judges were present.
Wednesday the case was reargued be
fore a full bench, and as a result the old
decision was set aside.
Prior to 1891 the charters of towns of
less than 2,000 inhabitants had been
granted either by the superior court or
by the legislature. In 1891 the legis
lature passed an act vesting in the su
perior court the sole power to grant
charters to towns of less than 2,000 in
habitants. In 1893 the legislature passed
an act repealing the act of 1891 and giv
ing both the court and the legislature
the right to grant town charters. Since
the repealing act was passed a large
number of town charters were granted
by the legislature. The town of Pine
hurst, in Dooly county, was iu this way
chartered by the last legislature. The
charter met the disapproval of certain
citizens and they refused to pay the tax
assessed by the town council. As their
reason they charged that the town was
not properly incorporated, because of
the fact that the act of 1893, which re
pealed the act of 1891, was unconstitu
tional.
The case was carried to the supreme
court by the objecting citizens and was
argued there some time ago. The court
held that the act of 1893 was unconsti
tutional. This decision made invalid
the charters of a large number of
towns and caused great consternation
throughout the state.
Some time ago the attention of the
court was called to the fact that in its
first decision, in which it decided against
the towns, it had reversed a decision
made in the Eighty-fourth Georgia.
The case was then reopened with the
result that the supreme court reversed
its former decision and the town char
ters are now good.
Squire Thomas Sent Up For "Li to.
Selma, Ala., Oct. 2.—ln the circuit
court, Squire Thomas was sentenced to
the penitentiary for life for the murder
of Emma Kent. The murdered woman
lived with Thomas as his wife. He
wielded a wonderful influence over her
and frequently treated her with the
greatest cruelty. On Aug. 4 he grew
angry .with her and leaving the house
commanded her to follow him. The
woman failed to return and Thomas dis
appeared for two weeks. He was ar
rested and soon thereafte ■ the woman’s
body was found in a hollow log in a
swamp ten miles from the city. Thomas
had forced her to get in the log and then
had cut her throat with a razor. The
body remains where it was found, un
buried, there being no provision in the
county laws requiring any officer to
buiy bodies so found.
Tourist l<rt.tes Remain Unchanged.
Louisville, Oct. 2.—The general pas
senger agents of northern and southern
roads interested in the winter tourist
traffic met at the Galt House with a
large representation. Plans tor the ad
justment of rates were discussed, the
principal hitch being the demand ot the
Florida roads for a rate of 3 cents a mile.
The matter was referred to a committee
consisting of O. P. Atmore of the L.uis
ville and Nashville; U. L. Benscoter of
the Southern railway; !’. \V. Harlow of
the Illinois Central; A. J. Lytle of the
