Only six or eight were able to get regi'stration certiticates. It is not known whether they really wanted to %.ote. or whether they will use this afterwards in somebodvs ef forts to break down the election laws of the state. but there is un doubtedlv something on toot. Whatever the cause in Ander son and in other parts of the state. there has been as little effort as usual among the negroes of this county to secure registration cer tificates. At the meeting of the board on Monday there were only two applications from negroes- One of these applicants was a school teachc- who successfully stood all the tests and who was given his certificate. The other applicant was tested and was told to come back when the board had consider ed his case. He did not return. About* seventy-five registration certificates were issued to white. vo ters on Monday. The Wrong Man. Sheriff P-uford on Monday ar rested a negro who fitted exactly the description given of the negro who murdered young Howells in Columbia during the latter part of last year. The Columbia author ities were notified and Deputy Sheriff Cathcart and the coroner of Richland county came up on Wednesday an( questioned the ne gro. coming ti the conclusion that 1he was not the miian wanted. The negro was originally irom this county but has been on the tramp for several years past. Sheriff Bu ford after coming to the conclus ion that lie was the man wanted for murder of Howells found on the dav before he arrested th0e negro that lie had a warrant for him is sued by Magistrate I Haic for burg larV. andi Sheriff Buford is now holding the negro on this warrant.
