White Instead of Joe Ii. White?Matter to Bo Set tied Later. The 1st being the first Monday lit the month, the county board of reg? istration met as usual In their office in the court house, with both the new and the old appointees present. Mr. C. E.

Dinklns, the former mem? ber of the board, was present to act on the board, he having received in? structions from Mr. J. H. Clifton to report at the olnce for work on the board. The matter of having one too many members on the board was settled for the day by Mr. T. D. BuDose request? ing the gentlemen not to act today or until the matter was definitely settled, as this was the only way to prevent the Issue being made that persons had been registered illegally. The ad? vice of Mr. DuBose, the chairman of the board, who is a close friend of both parties, was willingly accepted and both of the gentlemen stated that they would act on this advice until the difference was adjusted in accord? ance with the law existing in the case. The appointment of Mr. Joe B. White was made as a mistake. Mr. S. J. White, the present Incumbent of the ofllce. having been the person whom the governor had Intended ap? pointing, a mistake simply having been made In the names of the two parties. Mr. S. J. White showed his '?ommlsslon and he and Mr. DuBose transacted all of the work which came up before the board. Quite a number of persons applied to the Aboard for registration certificates or to secure duplicates of ones which they hnd lost. Mrs. Emma G. Brearley of the Mt.
