The State Democratic convention has declared existing rolls of Democratic clubs null and void. Democrats must re-enroll themselves on the book of the club district in which they reside in order to vote in primary next August. White Democrats, 21 years of age (or those who will reach that age before the next general election) who have lived in South Carolina for two years, in the county six months before the general election and in the club district 60 days before the first primary, are entitled to enrollment on the book of the club district in which they reside. The book of enrollment for each Democratic club in the State will be opened by the secretary of the club on or before the second Tuesday in June, 1914. Democrats who wish to enroll in order to vote in the primary elections must present themselves in person to the secretary ana sign the roll, giving their age, occupation and post-office address and street and number of their house where these designations exist. In case he is unable to write, the applicant for enrollment must make his mark on the book of the club district in which he resides, and the secretary will put his name on the book. , Notice will be given by county chairmen of the names of secretaries of clubs and where books of enrollment are to be opened. The books of enrollment will be closed and filed with the Clerks of Court the last Tuesday in July.
