City Registration.

From the number Of complaints 1t is
clear that there is something radically
wrong in the system of registering voters
IN this city. Citizens who are entitled to
register find it impossible to do so if their
names do not happen to be on the lists in
the possession OF the registration officers.
The fact that thew present their tax re-
ceipts for last years taxes does not help
them out of their difficulty. They are told
that they must either present tax
receipts for all taxes due from
them since the adoption of the
present constitution or they must get
all their taxes have been paid. There are
very few who preserve their tax receipts
more than one or two years, and if that
sort of evidence, therefore, Of their right
to be registered is demanded Of them the
great majority of them cannot furnish It..
To get a certificate'frOm the Tax COllec-
tor takes time which business men can
not always spare. Besides, it is not the
business of the Tax Collector to make out
certificates for all who want them, free Of
charge, that their taxes have been paid.
1t would be a physical impOssibility for
him to do it unless he greatly increased
his force of clerks. He certainly will not
increase the number Of his clerks unless
some way is provided to meet the eX-
pense. Citizens don't feel like paying
for a certificate, besides losing time in
getting a certificate and getting regis
tered.
The way the registration business is
now being conducted it is evident that
good many who would like to vote at the
city election Will be deprived of that priv
ilege. They simply won't submit to the
annoyance and expense with which the
right to vote has been saddled.
The registering officers ought to have
correct lists OF those entitled to register,
if 1t Is possible to prepare such
lists, which is doubtful, and if
persons apply to be registered who are
not on the lists, they ought to be allowed
to register on taking an oath that they
have complied with all the requirements
of the registration law. If anyone takes
a false oath he could be, and doubtless
would be, prosecuted and punished. There
is also much complaint about the location
OF the registration offices. There ought to
be no no difficulty in getting more cohve-
nfent places. Let something be done to-
wards removing the difficulties in the way
of registering.

A RICH REGION.

rida-A New Section which the Rail-
roads are Opening Up.
MACON, FLA, Jan. 9.-We have one
railroad graded right through the eastern
part of the county and another crossing
it between here and Dade City, within a
mile of this town, and both are expecting
to have cars running in two months
time. Then therichest county in Florida,
which has been often passed by on &C
count of lack of railroad communication,
will quickly fill up, as other counties
much poorer have.
want to invite strangers to pay this
section of country visit before settling
elsewhere. Macon is only new settle
ment of six months standing, and has
already two general stores, a grocery and
a drug store, besides a school house,
church and hotel. The river WithlacOO-
chez runs mile northeast from the newly
laid-Out town, and in it fish abound.
Game-deer, rabbits, duck and squirrel
is found in abundance in the hummOcks
on the river banks. There is a good saw
mill within a quarter of mile of the
town. On the west side of the town runs
the railroad, $50 feet from the front
street, and here there are four acres
of desirable land laid aside for
depot, warehouses, etc. To the west
of the railroad lies an immense tract of
high rolling pine land-not the or binary
white sandy land so common in the STATE,
but land with a deep reddish sub soil,
which is allowed by all experienced
growers to be the very best kind for
oranges. This can be bought at all prices
from $40 up, but that at $40 is now get
ting scarce within two miles of the town.
We already have representatives from
most of the States and expect great in
flow of immigrants as soon as the cars
reach us in March. These high rolling
lands are everywhere sought on account
Of their healthfulness. Although we
cannot boast of any beautiful lakes to at
tract strangers, we can boast of the alb
sence of malaria, so common in lake dis
tricts. There are several orange groves
owned by old settlers within a few miles
OF the town, but few are for sale. The
nearest post Office is at Lenard, two and
half miles off, but expect to have one
here in a months time or less. The
Yulee Railroad, that runs via Wildwoo cd
and Panasoffkee, already comes within
nine miles of us, and in a months time
there will be depot within six miles OF
this town,
