Euourt Ind V THE NEW ELECTION LAWS ■ Voters Must Register Six Months Be- fore The General Election. The application of what is common iy known as the disfranchisement amendment to the work of registra tion, and the provisions of the new registration act, alike call for special care in the preparation of the voters' list to be made up next year, and it is, therefore, important that the work of registration should begin as soon as possible, and that tax collectors and tax payers should exercise all [ possible diligence in meeting the re- ■ ipilremenfs of these new provisions. In order that there may be no re r mote- possibility of confusion on this E important question it perhaps should I be stated that the payment of taxes 1 does not in and for itself constitute I registration, but that under the new ■ law a concurrent opportunity is as- I forded for the citizen to pay his tax I and to register. It is made roanda , tory upon the tax collector to open | his registration books at the same * time he opens his tax books. The I machinery for doing both at the same time and place has been ptovided I whereas it formerly required a spe- I clal trip for the purpose of reglstra S tion. It goes without saying that it is I still necessary for the taxpayer to ? take an active part in the process of 9 registration, though the opportunity I is extended so as to permit him to do this at the time he pays his taxes. It Is one of the important provis ions of Ito- new regsit rat ion law that . the party registering must actually - take the oath, and that it is not suf ficient for him merely to sign it or | to have his name signed to it by the tax collector or liis deputy. Under the disfranchisement amend ment it is a reasonable construction i that the prospective voter should make known the qualification under which lie claims to register, particu larly If he claims the right as an ex I soldier or the descendent of one. Un ’ tier certain provisions of the disfran ! ehisenient act a permanent roster is i made up. and the very fact that it is to be permanent makes it important . that the greatest possible care should be exercised in its preparation. < The new' registration law affords an early and convenient opportunity for registering ft the time taxes are ! paid, and as the tax books will be opened within a few days the people should register as they pay their taxes. This opportunity will remain open to them until six months before the general election. The voters’ Isit will. 1 therefore, be open until about April I of next year, or three months and 1 ten days after the tax collectors' books are at least nominally closed, and those who have failed to pay ' their tax<- become delinquents i Hut the fact the the voters’ list iis to be kept open until next April its no reason why every good citizen who wishes to participate in the gen . i ral election next year, and in the ' primary which occurs about sixty : lays before that time, should not > | register at once. ! A full six months having elapsed lime the tax books were opened, , the voters' list will close about April 11. Within ten days from that time lie tax collector must make up a list if I hose who appear to be qualified ; titers, and by April 20 the tax col ■etor. the ordinary and the clerk of he superior court must make up ■ i list of those who appear to be I lisqualified. The registrars will then proceed | to purge the voters' list, and hear tin I merits of any challenge which may i>e made to the right of a register 'd voter to exercise the franchise. Forty days, which is the period provided, is not 100 long for this work, which should be thorough Pile work must be complete by June. 1. and within five days thereafter must be filed. As a safeguard of the ballot there lean be no question as to the value of the new law and the citizen should I avail himself of the opportunity to [register as he pays his taxes, wheih ; he may do in a period of six months, beginning October 1. —Atlanta Jour | nal.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1909. WHITFIELD PEOPLE EAGER FOR MR. LEE TO RECONSIDER (Dalton Citizen.) When Congressman Lee made his announcement for congress at the opening of the last campaign, he did not realize just how much the people were dissatisfied with his statement that he would not again be a candi date for office; and now it really begins to look like the people are not going to let him retire; for from all over the seventh congressional district of Georgia comes almost a de xnand from the voters that he again make the race and permit the people to send him back to congress to com plete the great work he is now doing. Several of the counties in the dis trict have begged Mr. Lee to again offer for congress; and in order to see how the people of this county stand. The Citizen sent out a number of letters recently to sound the peo ple. Replies received showed that the county is almost solid for Mr. Lee if ne can be persuaded to reconsider his former statement. A monster petition is being circu lated in the county and is being fated in the county and is being Signed by hundreds of voters. From comes the information to the Citizen district after district in this county that the people are squarely in line and will carry this county for him if he can be persuaded to run. The petition is addressed ot Mr. Lee himself, and is worded as follows: Hon. Gordon Lee, Chickamauga, Ga. Dear Sir:—We. the undersigned citizens of Whitfield county, recogniz ing your valuable service to this dis trict since being in congress, and be ll. ring that your experience and fa miliarity with legislation pending at this t;me would enable you to render even better service In the future, ear nestly request that you reconsider your intention not to run again, so that the country may have the bene fit of your services longer. When the petition is signed by all of the citizens oft he county who want to see Mr. Lee remain in congress and is then forwarded to him, he is going to find that Whitfield county is lined up with the other counties who are almost demanding that he again make 1 the race. Mr. Lee is placed in a peculiar po sition. That he fully intended to make his latest race for congress his last one no one doubts; but whether or not he will be permitted by the peo ph- to retire is another question. That Mr. Lee is one of the most popular congressmen this district has ever had is true, and, which he is a man who is personally admired and liked, still it is the great amount of work h - has done icr his district that is causing the people to insist on his r< tai ling ins seat m congress That Mr. Lee is in a position to do much more for his district if he re mains in congress was evidenced by the words of the various congressmen who spoke at a banquet of the Mer chants and Manufactures’ Club at Rome several months ago. These congressmen wen, acquainted with Mr. Lee's statement that be wouldn’t .again offer for congress, and they all said, in their addressees, that the dis trict would make the biggest kind of a mistake to lose the services of Gordon Lee at this time. If Mr. Lee persists in retiring from congress he is going to find thousands of people in the seventh district using force if necessary to push him into the race for congress at the next pri mary.

' —— SHOULD USE HEAVY BAGGING. Here Is Something For the Farmers to Think About. It is worth remembering that bet ter bagging will not only pay in oth er ways, but by giving a neater ap pearance to the bale is almost sure to secure a better price for the cot ; ton. Discussing this subject a writ i er in the Cotton Journal says; “So long as the present plan pre vails farmers should make it a point to buy the heaviest bagging sold, and put on each bale every pound of tare I to which the cotton is entitled under [ the rule of deducting 6 per cent, of the gross weight for covering. A bale weighing 600 pounds is entitled 'to 36 pounds of bagging and ties, while a bale weighing 400 pounds would be entitled to only 24 pounds. Light, flimsy bagging, or second bag ging, should not be used. Every sar i mer should buy new bagging wegihing 2 1-2 pounds to the yard, and put on 8 yards and 6 bands for each 500-lb. bale. If the buying world insists upon deducting 6 per cent, from the gross weight for tare then put on the tare to the full limit, because bagging and ties are much cheaper under such conditions than lint cotton.
