Electric power, when It can be ob tained, la second choice. A cord of reasoned fir or tamarack wood la about equal In fuel value to a ton of Rock Springs coal. 1t requires about one pint of gaso line per horse power per hour in gasoline engines, and distillate prob ably about 30 per cent cheaper. It requires at least a pound of coal pei horse power per hour for the best ■team engines obtainable, and about four and a half pounds per horie power per hour for common engines. 1 would add at least 50 per cent to these amounts of coal to make good la practice. Centrifugal pumps are not i ommended for lifts much over too feet Where eantrlfugal pumps are used, more power mutt be provided (o do the same work than with plunger purnpe. Largo pumping plants are propor tionately more economical than small ones. - It requires 1,710 theoretical horse power to raise sufficient water 100 feet high, (and other elevations In proportion) to cover 10 acres one foot deep in SO days, and this theoretical power should be doubled to give sat isfactory results In practice or say about three and a half horse power.

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 of a Confederate officer whose life was given ns a sacrifice in behalf of the “Lost Cause,” addresed the gal- Innt Confederate veterans last year at Jefferson and has been especially Invited by the Jefferson chapter. No 1274, United Daughters of the Con federacy, to deliver an address to them upon the occasion of the unveil ing of the monument which they will erect to commemorate the valor and the virtues of the Jackaon veterans. Col. Smith baa been invited to make an address at another place on Memorial day, but. having already ac cepted the Invitation from the Jeffer son chapter.

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 nor will th*y be disappointed. In ad. 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 election only applies tn the year that there Is to be held a general election. There la no general election this year, and, therefore, the registration does not close on April 1, bnt con tinues throughout the year. Comptroller General Wright’s let ter to Mr. Linton la as follows: (Copy.) Comptroller General’s Office, Tax De partment, Atlanta, March 25, 1911. 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 collecting taxes. Section 38 provides when the voter's book shall be closed during the. election year, which la six months before the date ot elec tion. Tours very truly, WM. A. WRIGHT, Comptroller General.
