If the contention la raised on the leg islative act approved DeceinlK»r 18, 1900, relative to registration and voting in all elections, it may invalidate the bond elec tlon. Tbe caption to the act reads: An act to provide for and permit the registration of votera in this atate for all electiona which may occur In the year neat succeeding the one In which they may register.” The act provides that a voter registering the year before has Just aa much right to vote “In any election ns one who registers in January, when new registration books are opened. Nowhere does the act state that this law applies to any election, nnd it does not differentiate between city uud state or the recenf bond election a great deal of apprehension. The point has not been raised yet, but It la rumored that It will probably be sprung lu a few days. It Is understood that City Attorney Janies L. Mayson la making ail Investigation of the laws. If that law is valid. It means that the re- Vent election was not. The registration In 1900 was very heavy. For 1907 nnd the special bond election. It was comparatively light. aa compared with 4hnt of last year. If the city should tie held to atrlet adher ence to this' net In the bond election tt would Impose almost Impossible conditions. Ijist year there was an abnormal regia- trntlon, due to the tierce local fight be tween Hoke Hmlth nnd Clark Howell in Fulton county.

WHITE SAYS HARGIS TOLD HIM TO KILL Lexington, Ky„ April 18.—Anse White, brother of Tom White, serving a life sentence for the assassination of J. Ii. Mnrcuin, at Jackson, created a sensation when he went on the witness stand here Ilf the "Ball" Britton trial for the murder of James Cot-krill and stated that Judge Hargis had ordered him to Join Curt Jett and Hiram Hayes and kill five men—Dr. Cox, Jim Cack- rlli, Tom Coektil!, Lawyer Vaughan and Jim Marcum White told of the affair In an uncon cerned manner, while Hargis frowned at him from the nearby defense’s .—•rnsel table. A meeting of the stockholders of the North Georgia Electric Company grill he held at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon In the headquarters of the company on Edgewood avenue. General A. J. Warner, of Gainesville, president, and other officers of the com pe.ny, and practically all the stock holders will be In attendance, many of them having already reached the city. The stockholders come from all parts of the country,’ few being from this state. The West Is largely represent ed among them nnd many Westerners will be here. The principal proposition to be con sldered by the cumpany ts the request of the city for bids for lighting pur poses, both for the streets un.1 to con Humefe. Under the franchise, the North Georgia Electric Company Is compelled to sell light both to the city and to con sumers for fully 25 per cent less than what Is now being paid the lighting monopoly. Low Bid. Expected. It Is believed that the company will bid under these rates fixed In the fran chlse. The work of the company nearly completed, the power having been brought from the Chattahoochee to the city limits. The laying of a few blocks of conduits, which Is being de layed on account of the difficulty In getting material, will practically put the company In position to do business. Inasmuch as the president of the Goorgla Railway and Electric Company, President Arkwright, has Issued .1 statement practically stating that his company would not sell current to the city any cheaper than now, It 1s prob ably assured that the North Georgia will do tho work, provided the city doe. not build It. own lighting plant. The contract with the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company for street lights expires In April, 1908, but can not be terminated until after a twelve months' notice. Are Raising Funds.

General A. J. Warner, president, was reached by a Georgian representative over the long distance 'phone: "There Is absolutely no danger," he stated, "of the company falling to com plete its lines In a few weeks, and we will listen to no proposition to combine with nny other company or sell out. "We went In to do business, and we nre glng to submit our proposition to furnish cheaper lights to the people of Atlanta In a short while. We will fur nish lights cheaper to the city and tq consumers—much cheaper. "Tho officials of the'eompany are per fectly satisfied with the work thus far, and the stockholders feel tho same way. We will make good all our promises to the city government and the people of Atlanta."
