ter their following before the time- | One of the problems that may sooner
limit expires. They are ever vigilant, ; or later engage the Congressional at-
and watch for such opportunities as
may be afforded. The better class of
voters, it is stated, seldom think of
qualifying until a campaign is under
way and they become interested in the
issues.
It is very seldom that campaigns to
be decided at fall elections become very
excited by early in the spring, when
the registry books are to be closed.
Whether or not the law will have a
good or damaging effect no one can teli
until it has been tried, but it is practi
cally certain to figure in the next State
campaign unless the Legislature re
peals it at the session next summer,
which would be before it will have
been given a trial.
The New Registration Law in Geor
gia.
Atlanta Cor. Savannah Proao.
The recent municipal contest in At
lanta hi»H directed attention in some re-
epeeta to the new registration law,
which will be in effect in Georgia
this yeur, in that it illustrates what,
may happen in case of an unexpected
State contest. The law was passed by
the Legislature at the recent session,
and is very drastic perhaps the most
drastic that is now in force anywhere
in America.
The law requires that the registra
tion books hereafter close at least six
months before elections, and that only
those who pay all taxes due and regis
ter that long before the day of voting
will he allowed to participate. For
instance, if the law had been in force
during the year 1908, no one who had
not qualified as a voter by April 1,
last, could have taken part. The law
is also applicable to primary elections,
which may not hereafter bo held earlier
than fifty days preceding the general
election in which the nominations made
are to be confirmed.
The law is one of the "pure election”
measures adopted by the old General
Assembly. The others are apt to meet
with approval, as they contain no very
objectionable features. They comprise
laws making contributions to campaign
funds by corporations an offense pun
ishable by heavy line and long impris
onment; stringent laws governing
vote-buying and selling, etc.
The new law provides that the regis
try books shall be opened when the col
lection of taxes begins. They shall be
closed a! least six months before the
date of the general election, which will
be about April 1. The Tax Collector of
each county is required to lile with the
board of county registrars a complete
list of those registered ten days later.
The Tax Collector, Clerk of Court and
the county Ordinary must get up a list
of the disqualified voters of each
county, and file this with the board of
registrars by April 20 each year. How
the list of disqualified voters is to be
obtained is not known, as to get an ac
curate one would require a complete
census of each county.
However, the board is to take the
disqualified list and compare it with
that of the qualified, which will be
purged. The idea they will pursue
will be to get a correct list of quali
fied voters. Ail whose names are re
moved must be notified and given a
hearing, if desired. The guaranteed list
must be complete by June 1. After
that date it is to be on lile in the office
of the Clerk, and will be subject to
public inspection.
After the registry books have been
closed for the general State election a
voter may qualify for the national elec
tion or that of magistrate any time
within six months of the date of those
elections. When such is done the name |
or names will be added to the list used !
for the election for which the addition >
is made. The first list made up will
qerve at all elections of the year.
It is not believed that the law will
stand a court test, or that it will sur
vive many elections. It is claimed to
be entirely too drastic and complicated,
aiul is almost certain to cause dissatis
faction.
The motive behind its adoption was
to rid elections of the floating element,
of the irresponsible class of voters who
care little for the side they espouse,
but who are often used with great
effect in times of great political ex-
citment. It will also be a bar to “col
onizing, ” as no politician would take
the risk of supporting a non-resident
six months in order to get his vote.
The recent election in Atlanta illus
trates how the law may have a serious
effect. Should an unexpected issue arise
after the books have been closed, all
who had not registered would be dis
qualified. It is not applicable, of course,
in the city contests. In Atlanta, howev
er, the State registry lists are used in
municipal elections. Had the law pre
vailed in 1908, there could have been
no new registrations after the contest
between Maddox and Woodward de
veloped.
It is probable that the law will be
an issue in the next State campaign,
as it supplies considerable ground for
attack. It is charged by many persons
that it will have an effect opposite the
Constitutional Amendments Are in
Effect.
Atlanta, Jan. 2.—Several new Con
stitutional amendments went into ef
fect in Georgia for the first time yes
terday. Among these is the disfran
chisement amendment, the purpose of
which is to exclude the ignorant and
venal negro vote. This involves an en
tirely new method of registration, pre
scribing qualifications which will ulti
mately, if not now, result also in the
disfranchisement of not a few white
men who cannot comply with the re
quirements. As there are no politics
this year, however, the registration
officers will have a comparatively easy
time of it in dealing with the situation
under the new law.
Another Constitutional amendment
which went into effect with the begin
ning of 1909 is that which permits the
counties of the State to levy taxation
for sanitation and sewerage, while still
another permits the levying of a coun
tv tax, when recommended by two suc
cessive juries, for the purpose of es
tablishing a system of county police.
The rural police question is one with
which the Legislature has long strug
gled, and it has been finally solved by
turning it over to the county to do as it
pleases in the matter.
Under the sanitation amendment it
will become possible now for any coun
ty, in the State which desires it to elect
a health officer and also to spend money
for the purpose of building sewers and
otherwise improving sanitary condi
tions.
It is expected that many counties in
the State will take advantage of this
opportunity. It is proposed that health
officers, wherever a county chooses
them, Hhall work in connection with
the State Board of Health with a view
to improving the general health condi
tions of the State.
tention is the servant maid question.
While some of the solons are busy for
mulating laws to furnish material for
the 1912 campaign, William Alden
Smith comes to the scene with a Mich
igan story of the domestic problem.
It seems that in the home of a certain
influential family they arose one morn
ing to find that no breakfast had been
prepared ; even the kitchen fire had not
been iighted. Upon investigation the
cook was discovered reclining in bed.
“Are you ill?” inquired the mistress.
“Not at all; I feel quite well,” was
the surprising response, but still no
persuasion would induce her to arise.
After a time the doctor was sent for.
He put to her the usual questions, but
the girl insisted that she felt perfectly
well.
“If, as you say, you are not ill,”
said the man of pills and potions,
“then tell me in confidence why you
won’t get up and go to work.”
“Well,” said the girl resolutely,
“these people owe me $25, and I won’t
stir until they pay it.”
“Do you think you’ll get it quicker
by staying in bed?” asked the doctor.
“I most certainly do,” she replied,
with a gleam of the eye that expressed
determination “to fight it out on the
same line if it takes all summer.”
The doctor, advancing, said : “Roll
over and stay there; that’s the only
way you’ll get it. They owe me $80.”
The celebrated soprano was in the
middle of her solo when little Johnny
said to his mother, referring to the con
ductor of the orchestra, "Why does that
man hit at the woman with his stick?”
“He is not hitting at her,” replied
his mother. “Keep quiet.”
“Well, then, what is she hollerin’ so
fer?”
’Phoned Voice of Mistress Caused
Polly to Eat.
G. W. Griffith, of 15114 Central
street, Evanston, Ill., has the only par
rot that can talk over a long distance
telephone. Polly is a splendid bird. It
will rarely accept food from any mem
ber of the household but Mrs. Griffith
or her son, Warren, who is two and
one-half years old.
A few mornings ago Mrs. Griffith
went to Waukegan to spend the day
and took the hoy with her. At six
o’clock in the evening she called her
husband on the telephone to know if
“everything was all right.”
“Yes,” said Mr. Griffith,"except that
we can’t persuade Polly to eat any
thing. She hasn’t had a morsel of food
all day long. She is on my shoulder
now. See if you can make her listen to
reason.”
He held the receiver to the bird's ear
and Mrs. Griffith called.
“Hello, Polly!”
At the sound of the voice, the parrot,
which had been dull and dejected, be
came very much excited, and shrieked:
“Hello, hello, hello,” at the top of
her voice.
Then in a mournful, plaintive tone, it
added:
“Polly wants a cracker.”
“Very well,” replied Mrs. Griffith,
“papa will give you a cracker and see
that you eat it.”
She held the wire while her husband
went to the kitchen and got a cracker.
Polly attacked it voraciously.
“By George, she’s eating!” said Mr.
Griffith, and the bird, apparently know
ing that Mrs. Griffith was to be com
municated with somehow or other
through the instrument on the table,
left off eating long enough to scream
into the receiver: “Bully cracker!”

“Now, Alice,” said the young hus
band the day after their arrival in the
country, “do be careful and not show
your ignorance about things you see
around the farm. We laugh at the
country people when they come to the
city, but when they get us out here
they have the laugh on us. So don’t
ask Mr. Jenkins any fool questions,
nor run when a cow looks at you.”
“Oh, indeed!” retorted his wife, in
dignantly. “I’d like to have you un
derstand that I’m not so green as you
seem to think. I’m not afraid of cows.
What’s more, I know how to milk,
too. ’ ’
“You know how to milk?” exclaimed
the astonished George. “Where on
earth did you learn?”
“That’s all right,” she replied eva
sively, “but if you don’t believe it you
just come around to the barn after you
get back from your fishing trip to-night
and I’ll surprise you.”
George was skeptical, but on his re
turn about sunset, he strolled out to
the barn. The cows were all in their
places. His attention was attracted by
the shimmer of a white dress at the
far end of the line. And there, seated
on a stool beside a very restive bovine,
undismayed by the constant switching
of the animal’s tail, or an accidental
foot in the pail, sat Alice, proudly
milking her cow—with a lemon squee
zer.
“What do you know about women?”
asked the first young husband.
“Nothing,” responded the second
young ditto.
“I guess I don’t, either,” rejoined
the first, “and I’ve been married for
over three ’months. Yesterday, wife
asked me how I liked the dinner. She
does the cooking, you know.”
The second youthful hubby didn’t
know, but he nodded just as if he did.
"And when I began to praise the
dinner,” resumed the other one, “up
she rose and began to cry! Said she
feared I loved her only for her cook
ing.”
The second hubby smiled. “She had
a cry coming.” he explained. "That’s
all.”
A pretty woman is just like a good
cigar—she receives so many puffs.
Diner (who has run up a heavy bill)
—“You are manager here, eh? Well,
six months ago I dined here, and un
fortunately, being unable to pay my
bill er—you kicked me downstairs.”
The Manager—“Very sorry, indeed,
sir, but business, you know er—I had
to—er—”
Diner “Oh, that’s all right, old
chap — but — might I trouble you
again?”
Aunt Chloe was burdened with the
support of a worthless husband, who
beat her when he was sober, and whom
she dutifully nursed and tended when
he came home bruised and battered
from a fighting spree. One Monday
morning she appeared at the drug store
and asked the clerk for “a right pow’-
ful linerment for achin’ in de bones.”
“You might try some of this St. Pe
ter's Prescription, aunty; its an old
and popular remedy, cures cuts, bruises,
aches and sprains. One dollar the bot
tle. Good for man and beast.”
Aunt Chloe looked at the dollar bot
tle and then dubiously at her flat purse.
“Ain't yo’ got some for fifty cents?”
she ventured. “Some for just on’y
beastes? I want it for my ol’ man.”
A woman sits down and waits for
temptation to come along, but a man
usually meets it half way.
There are many men of means who
do not mean what they say.
THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH
How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? It prevails In that
Car-away country—Africa—especially
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre
vent it? Mr. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost
my appetite, was all run-down, could
net sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. Vlnol was rec
ommended, and to my surprise, It
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now I sleep soundly.”
What Vlnol did for Mr. Hayes.lt will
do for every run-down, nervon* and
•varworked person who cannot sleep.
Vinol is sold in Newnan by HOLT & CATES
