As to Registered Voters.
T
-Attorney General Gunter was
asked yesterday what he thought of
the proposition advanced in Newber
ry county to the effect that the op
ponents of the dispensary should have
on their petitions for an election the
names of one-fourth of all voters who
had registered since the inauguration
of the new system of registration un
der the constitution of 1895. Mr. Gun
'ter in an unofficial -capacity replied 1
that he thought the proposition un
warranted by law. for many k.f the 1
voters who have died. been convicted I
or moved away. and he construes the
law to mean tha: the petitio ns shall
be signed by one-fourth of the voters
residing in the county at the time.
voters eligible to cast their ballots in
case an election should be held.
The above is from the local columns
of the State n Sunday. We did not
know that the question had been dis
cussed at any great length. Gen.
Gunter is right that only those eli
gible to vote who are residents or the
county and who have been regiscered
could or should be allowed to vote.
But when there are names on the
books and legally put there and noth
ing to indicate whether the parties are
dead or moved away who is to decide
the question. We should think it
would be a rather difficult matter tor
the hoard even to decide on all these
names. The manner in which the
question was raised in this county was
by those in charge of the fight against
'the dispensary insisting on an early
election and if the books should be
turned over tt the county supervisor
he would have ni authority to do
any thing except to go by the names
on the books. However. it has now
been decided that the supervisors <f
registration shall first revise their
books.
It would make very little difference
any way for there can be no doubt of
one fourth of the voters of the county
having signed the petition and we
want a full and fair expression at the
peop)le andl if they wvant to retain the
dispensary or want to vote it out let
them do it. but it should be a fair
eiection with all1 the light possible
before the people. No good can come
from trying to keep any fact *r any
arguments from the people.
We cannot understand just why the
committee should insist so strenuous
ly on Mr. A. C. Jones declining to
rnake any speeches in the county. WVe
understand That they have also urged
Mr. Arthur Kibler to decline some in
vitations. It would not require any
funds to reimburse these (:entlemen
for we presume t.hey would have paid
their own expenses and certainly they
should be given the opportunity to use
their own judgrnent to accept or de
cine invitations to attend barbecues
and make speeches if the people care
to hear them without the charge of

"Speaking of windfalls." said the
man in the mackintosh. according to
the Chicago Tribune. "1'm a clean
fifty better off for a bit of luck that
happened ti' me last week."
"Find it in the street? asked the
man who had his feet on the table.
"How do yon know it was clean:
demanded the man with the baggy
kneeded trousers.
"Couldn't find the owner ot it. per

smoking the cheap cigar.
"Or watched y'our chance, fell down
in a street car, and compromised your
