IN REGARD TO REGISTRATIONS,
In making out the voters’
1st for the election just past
the registrars did their very
best to keep everything in or
der, but under the existing
circumstances we nor no oth
er set of men could have fixed
it up in a manner that would
suit all parties.
We only had the old voters
list to go by With a few ex¬
ceptions and if a man had
moved from one district to an¬
other and we had no knowl
edge of the fact we put him
down, of course, in the one
where he had registered Iasi
year and the result was that
lie could not vote in the dis
trict where he registered, but
could have come to . pnng
l’lace and cast his vote for
the man of his choice.
And then there were men
who were entitled to a vote
from the fact that they had
become twenty-one years ol
age since the last election.
Some of them registered and
some did not. There were
men who had been in the
county the required time who
were entitled to a vote. Some
registered and some did not.
All names that were found
on the old list were trans
f c r red to the ne w me e x ce p t
where we were absolutely
certain that the parties were
dead or had moved away, and
all names brought in to us
were put on.
We have heard of no com¬
plaint whatever from any dis¬
trict except the Tenth. Some
people up there are claiming
that they were on tne old book
and not on the new, that they
voted last year and were not
alJov ed one this year, Wc
have been accused of fixing
the list to suit ourselves and
because a man was not for
cur candidate we left him off.
A man came into our office
and asked why certain men
were aot allowed a vote? 1
asked him if these men were
registered and he said ol
course they were—that they
voted last fall, had paid their
taxes, etc, anil when they
tried it the managers of the
election turned them down.
I think they went so far as to
sav that some of the men
came to Spring Place and vo¬
ted. 1 told him if they regis¬
tered jlast year they were en¬
titled to a vote and should
have been allowed one, but to
be sure about the matter I
would get the book and see,
He mentioned the men who
were cut out and after exam¬
ining the book found that they
were not registeied nor never
had been, not even last year.
Then he said that it was a
trick fixed to keep out men
who were not for our candi¬
date. We did not and do not
today know how these men
were aflU don’t care.
As far as Dock Bond and
Cicero Howell are concerned,
everybody knows that they
are upright, honest, good citi¬
zens; as for 1 know I
would not stoop to such a lit¬
tle trick. It’s pretty hard to
be accused of such a thing but
guess we will ha ve to consul
er the source and let it po.
People should know that
they are right before they ac¬
cuse men of wrong doings and
then again, they should know
that they have registered be¬
fore they vote.
The old registration books
are here and any man who
wishes can come and see for
himself.

CENT PARK WANTED
BY FARMERS’ UNION
Petition Filed With Railroad Com*
mission Requesting That Pas¬
senger Fare Be Reduced
in Georgia.
A definite and organised move¬
ment for a reduction m Georgia
of railway passenger fare to two
cents a mile was inaugurated
Monday morning when the state
tailroad commission received a
letter from the Farmers’ Union
asking the commission to consul
er the reduction named.
In response to this request,
which is signed by President G.
8, Barrett, of the union, and oth¬
er officials of that body, the com¬
mission will call for a hearing on
the matter some time during the
current month. Representatives
of all the roads in Georgia as
well as delegates from the union
and from the people of the state
at large, will he summoned to
be present at this hearing and
urge their respective claims.
What action the commission will
ultimately take on the petition
will depend on the showings then
rrale.
A copy of the letter received
Monday follows:
“Bartlesville, Ga., March 2.
“To the Railroad Commission of
Georgia, Atlanta, Ga.
t i Gentlemen: Believing that
the present passenger rite of
three cents a mile in this state is
too high, and that there ought to
be a reduction thereof, we write
to ask vou to consider this .mat¬
ter, reduce the present passenger
rate, and make such a rate as
will be reasonable and just both
to the railroads and to the public.
We believe that the present pas
st’tiger rate cam! be reduced and
ought to be reduced, We be¬
lieve that this should be done in
just ice to the public and would
suggest that, you 'take into Con¬
sideration the adoption of the two
cent rate so generally lived by
various states during the past
few months.
“We do not wish to be unfair
and unjust to the railroads. It
is in this snirit that we ask you,
in behalf of tho farmers of Geor¬
gia, to consider the present rate
and to reduce t be same to such a
point as will be both reasonable
and just to all parties at interest,
t “Yours truly,
“O. S. Barrett, President Na¬
tional Union,

“K. Duckworth, President
Georgia State Union.
“J. E. Barron, Secretary and
Treasurer Georgia State Union.”
For several weeks this commu¬
nication or a similar one lias been
expected. That the Farmers’
Union had such a request under
consideration was known general¬
ly, though it was believed at the
time that a reduction to only two
and a half cents wouhl be sug
gested. After further investiga¬
tion and conference, however,
0 fp lcers j|| e un jo n have decided
th. t a str.vL ht cut to two t en' s a
nrile should be requested.
It is believed bv tliose father¬
ing the movement that the time
is now more opportune than ever
i i the history of the state. With¬
in the past few months, they
point our, a dozen or more states
have adopted the reduction and
Georgia’s action on the matter
will be a natural continuation of
the wave that seems to be sweep
>ng the whole nation.
Governor Terrell has appointed
under a local law, Sylvester J.
Carter to be county commissioner
for Lowndes county in place of J.
L. Robertson, deceased. The ap¬
pointment holds until the next
general election in the county.
It is stated on good authority
that John I). Rockefeller will re¬

about two weeks ago on account
of illness of his wife.
