Of 3,019 Electors The Names of Con siderably Less Than One-Fourth Appear on Petitions. less the law is eflanede (I. Newber i*v county mnu,4t r-emain div until the eneral electilon of 1910. Afer compin 11' the tile petitiolsl askin.,_, for an electiin on the dis *en(a-y quet in, wvit b ie bcok> of re.risi rat ionz. Supervis.or .J. Monroe %Vieker and his board of commission ers ha, e found that the petitions do not coltain the names of one-fourth ihe qjualiiied electors of the county, as shown by the books of registra tion. The petitions presented to Super visor Wicker asking for an election on the dispensary question in New berry county contained 812 names. It was found that only 590 of these names were those of qualified electors of the county, contained on the regis tration books. It was found that the re.istration books contained 3.019 names, and less than one-fourth of these appearing on the petitions, no election will be held. Supervisor Wicker and the board began the work of comparing the pe titions with the registration books on Monday. The work was completed Wednesday afternoon, and the result announced at that time. The Carey-Cothran Act, passed at the last session of the legislat-ure, pro vided that an election could be held on the question in Newberry county this year upon the petition of one fourth the qualified electors of the county, presented to the supervisor on or before May 1. Newberry county was one of the counties as to which special provision was made in this respect, the general law providing that no election could be held in any county which had previousl.y had an election on the question until the~first .eneral election after the lapse of four years from the time of that election. Newberry county voted out the dis pensary in the fall of 1905. No elec tion being held this year under the special provision as to this county, the four years from the last election will not have passed until 1909. The general election after that time comes in 1910, so that, under the present law, it will be 1910 before an elec tion can be had on the question in this county. - The board of commissioners took up the petitions and the registration books by precincts. The following tabulation by precincts shows the number of electors at the various pre inets whose names are on the peti tions, and the numiber of electors whose names do not appear on the petitions, the tota l for each precinet giving the total num:ber of electors at that precinct, as shown by the books of registration: Names on Names not , Petition. on Petition Township No. 1.
