Super~visor of Registration. Inquiries have been received at this office as to whether or not applicants fo positions on the Board of Registration will be required to enter the campaign this year and be nominated in the primary election. Last year an act was passed by the legislature which relates to Pickens County only, and provides that the Board of Reg istration be elected in the gen -rat electio' of 1912 ar d every Vo years thereafter. It. is left entirely with those who want posit:ons.ou this board as to whether or not they will run in the primary. However, it iF thoig.ht by some that if thisJ act was tested it would be held unconstitutional for several rea sons. It is also thought by some that th - present board in this, County who were appointed this year will hold for two year. 'IWhat is said here is for pub lic information and gratuitous, Exercise your own judgement gentlemen about running. If you want to enter the race send us a V. and we will announce -the fact to the people. - Verdict in Big Damage Case.
