Jf Vot??rs. Tho subjoined quotations from the Constitution of 1895 and from the registration law relating to the qual? ifications for suffrage and the regu? lations governing registration of qual? ified electors will be of interest ut [this time to the general public. There are many qualified electors who are unregistered and therefore cannot vote in the general election for coun? ty, State and national officers. Those who are not now registered but wish to vote in the approaching election have one more opportunity to secure a registration certificate. The super? visors of registration will be in their office in the court house on Monday. October 2nd. and all quali? fied electors who than apply will be given certificates. Every loyal Demo? crat who feels bound by the result of the Democratic primary, who respects his oath to support the nominees of the primary should register on Mon? day next, if ho is not now registered or has lost his regitsratlon certifi? cate. The vote of every loyal Demo? crat may >e needed on election day. Ther#has been considerable wild talk of a bolt and coalition with the Re? publican party, and it is well to be prepared to meet whatever may come. A bolt, if the real Democrats are caught unprepared, means a return to conditions such as cursed South Carolina between 186t> and 1876. A successful bolt and the defeat of the regular Democratic ticket by a coa? lition' ticket means the overthrow of white government in this State and a period of misrule and misgovcrn ment. Remember what the Popullstic bolt did for North Carolina twenty years ago., Register. Your vote may bo needed. Qualifications for suffrage, Art. IT, Constitution 1895. Residence?Residence in the State for two years, in the county one year, in the polling precinct in which the elector offers to vote for four months, and the payment six months beforo any election of any poll tax then due and payable: Provided, That min? isters In charge of an organize*! church and teachers of public school i shall be entitled to vote after six months residence in the State, other? wise qualified. ** Qualification for Registration?Any person who shall apply for* registra? tion i* otherwise qualified shall bo ^e^a^i^^^g he can by the registration officers or can show ?thui he owns and has paid all taxes collectible luring ^the previous year on proptrt] In this State assessed at three hundred dollars or more. Payment of Taxes Necessary for Voting?Managers of election shall re? quire of every elector offering to vote at any election before allowing him to vote, proof of the payment of all taxes including po\l tax, assessed against him and collectible during the previous year.
