Disfranchisement Law In Pores
In Georgia.
On the first day of th<> _ present
year the new constitutional amend*
ment prescribing the qualifications
for Voters in Georgia, knbwn as the
disfranchisement law, caihe - into el
feet, and with it arise responsibilities
which are of the utmost ^importance.
in order that the qualifications de
clared to be necessary may be kept
clearly in mind, we reproduce the five
tub-divisions bearing upon this sub
ject together with the paragraph de 1
fining the duties of registrars.
1. All persons who have honorably
served in the land or naval forces of
the United States in the revolution
ary war, or in the war of 1812, or in
the war with Mexico, or in the war
with the Indians or in the war be
tween the states, or in the war with
Spain, or who honorably served in
the land or naval • forces of the con
federate states, or of the state of
Georgia in the war between the
states, or
2. All persons lawfully descended
from those embraced in the classes
enumerated in the sub-division next
above,, or
3. All persons who are of good
oharacter, and understand the duties
and obligations of citizenship under
a republican form of government, or
4. All persons who can correctly
read in the English language any par
agraph of the constitution of the
United States or of this state and
correctly write the same in the Eng
lish language when read to them by
any one of the registrars, and all
persons who solely, because of phys
ical disability are unable to comply
with the above requirements, but
Who can understand and give a rea
sonable interpretation of any para
graph of the constitution of the Unit
ed States or of this state, that may
be read to them by any one of the
registrars; or
5. Any person who is the owner
in good faith in his own right of at
least forty acres of land situated in
this state, upon which he resides, or
1b the owner in good faith in his own
right of property, situated in this
state and assessed for taxation at the
value of five hundred dollars.
Par. 5. The right to register under
sub-divisions one and two of para
graph four shall continue only till
January 1, 1915. But the registrars
shall prepare a roster of all persons
who register under sub-division one
and two of paragraph four, and shall
return the same to the clerk’s office
of the superior court of their counties
and the clerks of the superior court
shall send copies of the same to the
secretary of state, and it shall be the
duty of these officers to record and
permanently preserve these rosters.
Any person who has been once reg
istered under either of the sub-divi
sions one or two ' of paragraph four
shall thereafter be permitted to vote:
provided he meets the requirements
■of paragraphs two and three of this
section.
it will be seen from the foregoing,
and it is perhaps well remembered,
that during the seven years begin
ning with the first of this year a per
manent registration list will be made
up, consisting of the old soldiers and
sailors who have served honorably
in any of the various wars in which
this country has .been engaged, and
of the descendants of such soldiers
and sailors. When this class of votes
has once been properly placed on the
registration list, they will remain
there as long as they live, provided,
of course, that they pay their taxes
and are not convicted of an infamous
crime.
it is, therefore, of the most'impor
tance that due diligence should be ex-
ereis»d from the very first uay of tne
new law, not to allow anyone to reg
ister, particularly under these para
graphs, who is not entitled to the
privileges.
The registration books are, of
course, open at all times, except
within the prescribed period imme
diately before an election, and" it,
therefore, devolves upon the tax col
lectors of the state to exercise un
usual diligence in accepting the reg
istration of voters.
The list compiled by the collectors
constitute merely -prlma facie evi
dence of the right to vote, however,
the work of the board of registrars,
under the new law, assumes an im
portance which it has never had be
fore. It is their duty, as it has here
tofore been, to revise the registra
tion lists as they come from the
hands of the tax collector, but be
cause the list will be, as we have
pointed out, a permanent list, in large
measure, it becomes all the more im
portant that they should exercise the.
greatest possible care in preparing
and certifying this list. Only men of
the highest integrity and ability
should .be placed on the board of reg
istrars and they should keep before
them at all times the execution of
the new law according to the will of
the makers of it.
The advent of thd new law marks
a new era for the people of Georgia.
We have taken a long step forward
towards preventing the debauchery
of the ballot and have eliminated all
fear of negro domination. The white
people of the state of Georgia can
henceforth setitlo their differences ac
cording to their own wishes and in
proportion to their own numerical
strength.
But the success of the measure de
fends first of all upon the thorough-,
ness with which it is executed by
those who prepare the registration
Jll Never brag about what you are

lo do it.
A Pleasant Rroape<&‘'
'A Philadelphia woman, whose giv
en name is Mary, as is also the name
of her daughter, had recently en
gaged a domestic when, to her em
barrassment, she discovered that the
servant’s name, too, was Mary.
Whereupon there ensued a strug
gle to induce the applicant to relin
quish hex idea that she must bo ad
dressed by her Christian name. For
some time she wes rigidly uncom
promising.
‘‘Under the circumstances," said
the lady of the house, “there is noth
ing to do but to follow the English
custom and call you by your last
name. By the way, what Is it?”
“Well, mum,’’ answered the girl,
dubiously, “it’s ‘Darling.’ ”—Harper’s
