Citizens of South Carolina who are not already provided with registration certificates will have.it appears, no further opportunity of qualifying themselves to participate in the gen erai election or tms year. The law provides that registration shall cease 30 days before a general election. The general election takes place on the "Tuesday after the first Monday" in November, which this year is the 3d. The several county boards of registration ordinarily sit at the court houses on the first Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in each month, but the first Monday in October of this year will be the 5th, which is less than the prescribed 30 days before the general election. ine qualifications iorsuirrage are set forth in Section 4,Article 2, Constitution of 1895, as follows: "The qualifications for suffrage shall be as follows: Residence in the State two years, in the county one year,in the polling precinct in which the elector offers to vote, four months.and the payment six months before any election of any poll tax then due and payable: Provided, That ministers in charge of an authorized church and teachers of public schools shall be entitled to vote after six months' residence in the State, if otherwise qualified."? me State. m m t h lard of Thanks.
