Mr. Rivers Criticises Democrat- ( ic Rules Mr. Editor?I desire space in ^ your paper to call attention to the new Democratic primary rules and some of the apparent evils therein as I see them: First of all I wish to say that I was a member of the State Democratic convention two years i ago when the rules governing the primary elections were pass- ; ed known as the enrollment rules, and the great cry in that convention in favor of the adop- 1 ? ?. *1? i_ * iiuu ui me ruie requiring every ] Democrat to appear in person and write with his own hand or 1 make his mark to his own name, his age, and occupation, the ] Club Roll so made up would be filed with the Clerk of Court ' and become the permanent Democratic Roll of the county, and that every person possessing 1 the proper qualifications and being so enrolled would be on the. -! permanent roll, or in other I words would be entitled to vote in every Democratic primary i held at his precinct or polling place unless otherwise disquali- I fied; and that no new enrollment 1 would ever be required except ] such as become of the proper age or transferred or moved in l between primary election years. Now a few of us have had ' some experience in getting people to understand why they should enroll once and in getting them to enroll their names properly so that they could participate in the primary elections. Now this year we find the same thing to do over again, a new enrollment being required of every person who intends or who can be brought to see that they should vote in the coming primary elections. Now I am of the opinion that this is a breach of faith with those who , enrolled two years ago, and besides I think it a needless diflicult task. And one that we who live in the rural sections and who as every one knows are occupied in trying to dig trom the earth a living, people busily engaged with the cultivation harvesting of crops have other things to think about; and yet 1 the new rules have taken away the August time of enrolling. After the crops are laid by and after the political campaigns have opened and the matter of! men for office have been dis-l cussed and brought to the minds of the voters, there will be no chance to enroll, because the new rules say that the books of enrollment must close the last Tuesday in July. i I want to impress upon the t minds of every white man in : Chesterfield county the import- i ance of properly enrolling him- i self on the Club Koll ot hisu precinct. He sure and see after < that at once and do not delay | for time slips away and before you are aware of it the time will J be expired and however much ' you may wish to participate in BUSINESS LOCALS For Sale?one 1914 Model Ford Touring Car in first class condition.

During a lesson on elementary composition a little girl read the following effort: Once a Penny and a Dollar met in a man's pocket. The Dollar turned up its nose at the Penny, and said scornfully: "Why, 1 am worth one hundred f you." "Yes," said the Penny, "but even at that I am a good bit better than you are. I go every Sunday to church and Sunday school both, and you never get to either one." the elections vou cannot, according to the rules, unless you are properly enrolled with your name in full, age, occupation and postoffice address. And be sides this Roll will determine your status as a Democrat, your right to help elect your club officers and Representatives in the next County convention.
