A SI UNDERSTAND THE LAW, I AM L\. required to furnish the County Commis sioners a list of the reentered voters ten days before the January election, which takes place on the 2d day January, INB9. Therelore, I can not register any names for that election after the 22d day of December. Young men who have become of axe, and old men who are not due any tax should nave their names registered so they can vote if they desire. This is a duty the law requires me to perform, and I hope the people will feel interested enough to attend to the re quirements of the law. I wish every legal voter to exercise that privilege if he so desires, and if I make mistakes I am always sorry when I tlnd I have done so. Again, the Legislature last year passed an act requiring tax collectors to issue two fi. fa’s, against persons due poll and property tax, and while I can see no good reason for the law, I have no discretion in the matter, but must comply with the law.
