TIIK REGISTRATION LAW;
_ t
QuauAVntioii* for Suffrage Prescribed
by Constltiitio* und l.nw Govern?
ing RcKiKtnttiv. 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

and payable: Provided, That min?

at any election before allowing him
