AS TO REGISTRATION.
Mr. DeBruhl Thinks Lav Requires
Revision of Books Only Before
G! ieral Elections.
The condition of the rezistration
oks in zth ever:0 coun'ie- is o
1p for discussitoi in official eireles. I
The govern-r has rec ei v t -1 I :r
from Mrli. F. M . Czu:in,pevi
uf reg.is: .. ii l'r ('he,terfLc: l cul.
ty. in whieln he :iks if, e law ref'uir

referred o .e attorn'-?.10'.'al. mld
YL11 an opilliol it is hel!,d by Assi-ti:il
At' orney General DeBruhl that th,
law,.refers only to zeneral eleelioll.
Tae )rovision in question is Section
1S7 ot\ the Code of 1902. whi-h
reads folhav: "Tihe boaIr or rf
isTered elee,irs ai least tenI layspre
eedin- each eiewtion and shall erase
therefrom the names of all r'istered
electors who have become disqualified
or who, upon satisfactory evidence.
may appear to have died or removed
from their respective counties or who
may have been illegally or fraudii
lentix registered."
Several days ago the governor re-!
ceived a letter from the supervisor of
Williamsburg county. together with a
letter from one of the supervisors of
re1istration for that county in regard
to the supervisor's action in refusing
to )rder an election in that county.
It will be recalled that the board of
registration stated that they had gone
over the books and ascertained that
the number of names on the petition
for election were more than one
fourth of the total numbcr of quali
fied electors. but the supervisor' re
fused to order an election on this
showing, requiring that the board of
registration certify to him the total
number ,of electors. The situation.
was brought to. the attention of the'
governor, who wrote to Supervisor
Singletary in regard fo the matter.
The letters, setting fortl- e position
of the county supervisor and the,
board of registration. were forward-'
ed to the governor and by him refer
red to all attorney general. Mi. De
Bruhl has decided that if the board
of registration will farnish the county
supervisor a certificate that the eight
hundred and sixty-six names on the
petition asking for an election are
one-fourth of the qualified electors1
of the county the election should be
ordered. although the exact number
of qualified electors is not certified
to. He holds that if the supervisors
of registration have ascertained the
number of eleetors with sufficient ae
euracv to know that 866 are one
fourtih of th~e total number this is
all that is necessary, since complete
revision of the rolls may decrease
but could not increase the total num
ber of qualified electors., It wduld
appear from this that the people of.
Williamsburg are entitled to an elee
tion on the dispensary if the other
requirements of the law have been
complied with..

It !Inot the fault of the council

formality as '"a resolution awardinii

It is a fair cry from trimming hedges
to b)uildintg a was plant costing $.310.

both. and if neither are well dohne. ii
is really not th~e fault of the counceil
as a whiole. Rather it is the fault of
a system which so loads petty details
upon men who are already burd enedi
with their own business cares that it
_?~2n absolute impossibility for al

annually. which is only a medium size
