Race Against Fish
and Beck. 1
The following article concegning
Col. J. D. Kilpatrick, a former oit
izen of Monticello, will be of inter
est to his friends here. The same
appeared in Sunday’s Constitution,
“Attorney J. D. Kilpatrick, one
of the most prominent members of
the Atlanta bar, will probably be a
candidate for a place on the beuch!
of the supreme court of Georgia in‘
the election this fall. ; |
“The terms of both Chief Justice
William H. Fish and Judge Marcus
W. Beck expire on January 1, and
their successors will be elected at,{
the coming election.
“According to a statement made
by Judge Beck to a representative
of The Constitution, both he and
Justice Fish will stand for re.elec
tion.
“When asked about the prob-!
ability of his making the race for
the supreme court, Mr. Kilpatrick
said: ““It is true that a great num
ber of my friends have approached
me with the request that I make the
race and I have taken the matter
under serious consideration, and
while I have reached no defimite
decision, it is probable that I may
later decide to announce my candi
dacy.”
“Mr. Kilpatrick is recognized as
one of the most skillful lawyers in
the state. He represented the 28th
district in the state senate in 1896
and 1897, and was chairman of the
railroad committee and vice chair
man of the general judiciary com
mittee of the senate. For the past
ten years he has been a resident of
Atlanta, having moved here from
Monticello.”

About a year ago the department
of agriculture appointed Mr. J. G.

better welection) demonstrator for
Jasper county, and the work done
by him during the past year was
very successful—samples of the
corn raised under his supervision
and now displayed as stated above
are attracting much attention and
winning many adherents for this
year’s trials,
Mr. Sam M. Cown, of Union City,
district agent, was the gumest of Mr,
Tolleson Tuesday and delivered an
instructive talk to the eontestants,
The average yield of corn per

’“UN APRIL FOORTH
Those Who Desire To Vote
Must Register Before
| Next Tuesday.
I To those who have not registered
fwe would urge do so today for
the registration books will close on
‘!Z\[()lld:ly, April 4th, and it will be
'tm) late to do so if you wait until
Tuesday.
’ Remember that “procrast:nation
is the thief of time,” and is danger
ous as well,
~ The following from Judge Ross,
of Macon, which appeared in a recent
issue of the Telegraph will clear
away any doubt as the date upon
the registration books close:
’ “I think even the wary have fallen
into a serious error as td when the
}right to register ceases. The books
‘will close with the end of April 4th,
i:md not April sth, as has been pub
lished,
| “The law says that the tax collec
tor shall close said voters' books for
said election six months before the
date of said general election, Month
in that law means a calendar month.
The election for governor will be on
October sth. The last day six
months before that date is April 4,
and the voters’ books must be closed
the night of April 4.
“There are many thousands of
good citizens who have the right to
vote, who do not have to pay poll
tax. Kvery young man becoming
of age between March 31, 1909, and
October 5, 1910, is entitled to regis
ter and vote for governor and mem
bers of the general assembly with
out paying poll tax for the year 1909,
Those thousands and all who attain
their majority by November 8, 1910,
are entitled to register and vote for
congressmen this year without pay
ing poll tax. All who become sixty
years old between the dates stated,
and all blind persons, and all crip
pled, maimed ov disabled soldiers
are exempt from poll tax, are en
titled to register and vote if other
wise qualified,”
