Four Days More.

There are four days more in which TO
register. This is an opportunity that must
moi be allowed to pass Do not be satisfied
with having registered yourself. Ask your
friends, your neighbors, and your relations
whether they have registered, and if they
have not, and are qualified, urge them in
the name Of all that is holy and venerable
to register their names this day.
There must be no delay; no putting off
until tomorrow. Go up at once, and bear
it in mind that every man who can register
and does not register is on enemy to dear
old Carolina.

CHI A R L E S T ON.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1868.
Register! Register!

The Boards of Registration are now in
session for the p,rpose of revising the lists
of registered voters. Every qualified per-
son can now go up and secure the power to
vote-a power that may prove to be of in
calculablc value.
1t is the duty of every white man to reg
lister if he is qualified under the laws, and,
in all doubtful cases, he should offer to reg
lister and not cease his efforts until he is
positively rejected.
Every white man who loves his country,
honors his State, and respects his pocket,
should 60 up and register. A failure to
register every available man" may leave the
city in the hands of those who will work
its certain ruin.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-04-01
Your Duty.

Have you registered? If not, why don't
you register at once? Have you no inter-
est in the condition of our laws? Do you
not care whether they are honestly and en-
ergetically, or scandalously and inefficiently
administered Have you no rights to be
protected or abated? Is your citizenship
worth nothing to you? Have you no regard
for the welfare of your neighbors, your
city or your State? If you want the con-
duct of affairs to be controlled by those
who care very little for these things, your
best course will be to shirk your plain duty
and keep away from the registrars Office.
