For the information of voters who
registered with the Tax Collector last
year, and to clenr up nnv doubts that
mny exist as to who is legally qualified
to vote under the new permanent
registration law, Tax Collector Fry re
quests The Herald and Advertiser to
explain that all who registered sub
sequent to Aug. 19, 1913, (the date
upon which the Governor signed the
Act providing for permanent registra
tion,) are now permanently registered
and will not be required to register
again. Those who registered prior to
the date named, (Aug. 19, 1913.) must
register again. The registration books
will close April 1, but before that date
the Tax Collector will gb over the
county and give every voter not already
qualified an opportunity to register.
He will be in his office every day during
the March term of Superior Court, and
those who have not registered are re
quested to do so at that time. There
are about throe thousand white voters
in the county.
The Newnan Elevator and Grain Co.
was granted a charter a few days ago,
and at a meeting of the stockholders on
Wednesday of list week the company
was formally organized, with (he fol
lowing officers, viz: A. W. Powers,
president; II. C. Glover, vice-president;
W. C. McBride, secretary and general
manager. The company is capitalized
at $10,000 to start with, but has the
privilege of increasing its capitalization
to $50,000 when the demands of the bus
iness shall necessitate such increase.
The plant of I he McBride Grain & Feed
Co. has been leased by the company,
and will be operated under this arrange
ment for the present. New machinery
will be added, it Is Baid, and the output
greatly increased. Us chief products
will be stock feed, dairy feed and poul
try feed, for which there sooms to be
an unlimited demand. "Primo Horse
nnd Mule Feed,” originally put out by
the McBride Grain & Feed Co., will
continue to be manufactured by the
new company under the same brand.
Train Runs Into Open Switch.
As the early morning train from
Cedartown was coming into town Tues
day morning it ran into an open switch
just beyond the Central freight depot
and was deflected onto a spur track
which runs outto Manget-Brannon Co.’s
fertilizer factory. Some freight cars
were standing on the spur track, and,
fearing a collision, Engineer Oscar
Tyler applied his emergency brakes and
jumped for safety, but struck the
ground with such force as to fracture
his ankle. His negro fireman, Oliver
Caldwell, jumped also, but beyond a
sprained wrist sustained no serious in
jury. The train was brought to a
standstill within safe distance from the
cars ahead of it and a collision was
averted, but some of the passengers
were budly frightened.
Engineer Tyler’s broken ankle was
attended to by Dr. Davis and Dr. Tur
ner, and he was carried to his home at
Cedartown on the 11a. m. train. An
other engineer was brought in to take
his train to Griffin.
An investigation showed that the
switch had beon tampered with, and
another switch on the same spur track
was found to have been thrown also—
evidently the work of the same mis
creant. Superintendent Ramsey was
here Tuesday, and stated that every
effort would be mude to apprehend the
person or persons responsible for this
malicious piece of mischief.
