New Orleans, March 29.—Tonight
tbt chefs and the cooks of New Or
leans were again called upon to em
phasize In a striking and long-to-be-
remembered way the hospitality of
the city. New Orleans always gives
expression to its hospitality at the
dinner table. The city's guests of
honor tonight were the majority
members of the house committee on
Industrial Art* and Expositions or
tho late congress who stood by New
Orleans agnlnst all opposition during
the fight for tho honor of celebrating
the opening of the Panama Canal.
In appreciation of the efforts and
friendship of these congressmen, an
Invitation was extended them to visit
New Orleans as the guests of the

was presented to Mr. Rodenberg and
silver loving cups to the other ma
jority members of the Industrial Arts
and Expositions Committee from the
people' of New Orleans. Governor
Sanders of Lousiana. Mayor Behrman
and others told the visitors that de
feat sometimes hath her heroes no
less than victory, and that New Or

pressure succeeded in making them
break their promises to support the
Louisiana city. Congessman Roden
berg responded for the visitors.
Immediately after the public re
ception, the doors of the Grunewald s

Jefferson, Ga., March 29.—By
reason of the untiring efforts ot the

sum ot money has been raised with
which to erect upon the public square
here a magnificent marble monument
to the Confederate soldiers from
Jackson county. The erection of this
memorial to the gallant sons of Jack-
son county who "wore the grey” will
be completed by Memorial day, April
26th, at which time It will bn un
veiled with appropriate ceremonies.
Col. R. L. J. Smith, himself a son

the “Lost Cause,” addresed the gal-
Innt Confederate veterans last year

make an address at another place on
Memorial day, but. having already ac
cepted the Invitation from the Jeffer
son chapter. No. 1217, United Daugh

the unveiling of their monument to
the Confederate veterans at this

Judge Robert T. Daniel, another
well-known orator, has been Invited
to deliver the address to the Confed
erate veterans at the unveiling of the
monument at this place on April 26th,
and has accepted the Invitation. All
who know this distinguished orator
are confidently expecting a rare treat

dltlon to the above-named apeakere,
Mrs. Captain J. W. Barnett, who is
very pleasantly remembered by Jef
ferson friends as Miss India Hunter,
has also been Invited to sing one or
more solos upon the occasion of the
unveiling of the Confederate veter
ans’ monument, and the has very
kindly consented to do »o, greatly to
the delight of all our people.
The several Confederate veterans'
camps of this county have been es
pecially Invited to be present at these
exercises, and In addition, every Con
federate veteran In this county Is
especially invited to attend, and
It therefore la certain that a large
crowd, probably the largest that ever
assembled In Jefferson, will be here
on April 26th, and a right royal good
time Is promised them all by our hos
pitable citizens.

There appears to be a very general
Impression throughout the county!
that the books for registration of vot
ers close April 1. As thin Is an off
year so far aa atata and oounty regu
lar-elections are concerned, It wan
thought that It would be possible, in
case a special election should be call
ed for any purpose, that a large
number of citizens In the county
would be unable to vote It they neg
lected to register by April 1.
Because of the mistaken Impres
sion held by so many upon the mat
ter Tax Collector H. H. Linton re
cently wrote to Comptroller General
IVrlght for an Interpretation of the
Itiw, Mr. Wright's reply, given be
low, shows that registration con
tinues throughout the whole year,
and that the law requiring registra
tion within six months of a general

there Is to be held a general election.
There la no general election this
year, and, therefore, the registration

Mr. H. H. Linton. T. C„ Athens, Ga.
Dear Sir;
I am In receipt of yours ot the 22nd
Inst., and have examined the existing
registration law. It appears from a
careful reading of this act, found In
Volume 1, of the Code of 1910, 27.
that tax collectors of the several
counties ot this stale shall open a
book or books to be designated a vot
er’s book, which book must be open
for signatures at hla office at tha
county site at any and all time* when
hla office Is open for the payment ot
taxes or other business; and he shall
also carry with him and keep open
for signatures one such voter's book.
In each and all of tils visits to the
several militia districts of hla county
for the purpose of collecting taxes.
This appears to refer to election
years as well as off years. In other
words, the voter’s book referred to
In the act piuat he kept open for the
registration of voters at any time dur
ing the period the tax collector la

when the voter's book shall be closed
