A STRONG LIST
Os Names Endorsingthe Regis
tration Bill.
SENTIMENT FAVORS IT
As Shown by the Petition
Which is So Very Readily
Signed by Many.
There can be no doubt now about the
the sentiment of this community on the
registration bill. The petition printed
below is such an endorsement as few
measures ever get. Os tighty odd men
to whom it was presented, only five or
six refused to sign the petition.
If there is anything the people of
Floyd county want more than anything
else, it is pure elections, snd as an effi
cient means to that end, they want the
registration list purged.
The Petition.
Rome, Ga., Nov. 23.
Hon. W. J. Neel, Hon. C. J. Price and Hou. W
C. Bryan:
Gentlemen—The undersigned citizens
and tax payers of Floyd county
beg leave to call your attention to a bill
now pending before the house of repre
sentatives, the purpose of which is to
amend the registration law of Floyd
county so that none but le
gally qualified voters may regis
ter and vote ii this county. This
measure was introduced in the Senate by
Hen. Felix Corput and has passed that
body without opposition. We believe it
would have the effect of excluding illegal
votes from the registration list and would
at the same time protect the rights of
every citizen, so that every man who has
a right to vote will have no obstacles
thrown in his way. It is the growing
conviction of the pecple of Floyd that
large numbeis of illegal votes are cast in
our elections, and we ask your efforts in
benalf of the pending measure to the end
that this evil may be corrected.

HUNTING SQUIRRELS
Jeff Fortune’* Gun Accidentally Discharged
Killing Him Instantly.
Jeff Fortune was accidentally shot and
instantly killed yesterday afternoon.
He was a well known young farmer
living about four miles west of the city
Yesterday morning be went equirrel
hunting near his house, and the dogs
were beard to ‘’tree ” Then a shot was
heard—only one. The dogs continued
barking, and no more shots being fired, a
boy in the neighborhood went to the
place.
He found Fortune lying in a pool of
his own blood, the top of his head blown
off, and his gun lying between his legs.
The alarm was immediately given and
Mr. Henry White came to the crty after
Coroner Drennon. An inquest was held
and a verdict rendered that the death
was accidental.
From theposition it is thought that
Fortune caught hold of a small, dead
tree that fell ou him, and striking a ham
mer, caused one barrel of the shat gun
t > be discharged.
He leaves a wife and two children.

JHB WMEKLY TRIBUNE, NOVEMBER 30. 18«3.
HOWJTWORKS.
Attorney General Terrell Is In
terviewed
ON THE REGISTRATION LAW
Tells How It Works in Meri
wether County—The Bill
is Misrepresented.
The strong taxpayers’ petition pub
lished in The Tbibune has stirred the
opponents of the pending registration
bill. They tried to pooh pooh it until
they found it had practically all the busi
ness men in Rome for its friends. Then
they saw that something had to be done,
and began to fight the bill by all sorts of
means, seeking signatures to a counter
petition, and misrepresenting ’he bill in
order to got them.
As a sample of this misrepresentation
it was stated repeatedly that the measure
requires a man to produce tax receipts
for sixteen years, when there is not a line
in the bill to support or excuse such a
statement. It was upon this statement
that many signature s were obtained, and
several gentlemen, when they found there
was no foundation for the statement,
expressed regret that they had signed
such a petition. The fact that the
enemies of the bill have to resort to such
methods is evidence that their cause is
weak.
The following card from Senator Cor
put gives an interview with Attorney
General Terrell, who drew and passed
through the legislature, a similar act,
now in successful operation in Meri
weather county. A law supported by
the Attorney General of the State and
perfectly satisfactory to the county of
Metiwe ther cannot be as bad as its ene
mies claim.
From Senator Corput.
Editor Tribune: The amendments
proposed to the Floyd county registration
law are based on the successful operation
of s milar laws in other counties. The
Meriwether registration law is very sim
ilar to it and the oath required is identi
cal. This bill was introduced and passed
by the Hon. Joe Terrell, now Attorney
General for me State. Desiring informa
tion as to the workings of the law, I put
the following question in writing to Mr.
Terrell and received the answers quoted.
Felix Corput-
What Attorney.Gerru-al Terrell Says.
Ist. Question—“ How do you find the
Merriwe ther registration law to work?”
Answer —“Well.”
2nd Question —“How does it affect the
collection of poll tax in your county?”
Answer—“ Whenever there is a political
contest it practically insures the collec
tion of all poll tax.”
3rd Question—“ Has it increased the
amount of poll tax collections?”
Answer—“Viry materially.”
4th Question—" Has it brought about
maty prosecutions for false swearing or
illegal voting?”
Answer—“ None.”
5 h Question—“ Are the people in your
county now satisfied with the operation
of the law?”
Answer —“Perfectly so.”
What Our New Law Dees,
Tax receipts are not required to be pro
duced by pai ties desiring to register.
The law is not cumbersome. The pres
ent machine: y is simpLfiaj, and par ies
are allowed to register in their own dis
tricts.
The law do< Br< quire a man to pay his
taxes before he registers and is therefore
an improvement on the present law.
The IS9O amendment of the present law
rt quires that all back taxes be paid and
that the registrar examine the tax books
fur each person. This no cne man can
possibly do.
The amendment does not seek to dis
franchise any one
