"one gentleman, evidently a

Gubanks cast that vote in the
Lanes Creek box. Will you
please ask him?

run for coroner in the approachprimary.
If he announces himself,

campaign during the three hottest
months of the year. He
might send word to a few men
that he wanted them to vote for
him, but he certainly would not
go to see many of them.

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

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. Let
L'verv white Democrat remember
this and lets see what can be
lone to remedy this two years
torn now,
