THE REGISTRATION LAW.

The Board OF Commissioners. at
their meeting last week, had to wrestle
with the provisions OF the Registration
law. They do not think much OF the
new law. The fact is. it is n cumber-
some and costly piece Of legislation.
that reflects no credit on the authors.
There were seventeen registers ap-
. pointed who will sit in comparative
Incidence for thirty days at $500 per
day. Their services will cost the
county 81 $50. and it is estimated
that the total expenses in carrying
out the provisions OF the law will be-
At the rate of $500 for every voter
In the county.
Webelieve the law should he amended
IN many respects. 1t is too expensive
for sparcely settled counties, and pro-
vision should he made for registering
ten days before election. There are
great many men who are not
aroused to the Importance OF voting
until election day approaches. In
some states voters are allowed to
swear in their vote by making affida-
Wit as to qualification and residence.
This would be better for the sparcely
settled districts OF Montana Under
the present law We believe there will be |
a great falling OFF IN the vote of a !
number Of counties. When election
day comes there will he hundreds oi
voters who will be disiranchised A
good many in this county have said
they would not ga out oi their way
10 register.
While We believe il "a patriotic duty
Tor every man tn vote. Yet h- should
not DE seriously Inconvenience in
doing so. With registration and the
Australian ~ stem combined, Montana
ought to slit out few honest votes
tins TALL even ii they do cost $500
each.

Baltimore, Dee. 31.-The manu-
facturers' Record, in its annual re-
view OF the Southern industrial
progress, shows that the capital rep
resented in new mining and manu- :
featuring enterprises organized in

dition to which there are hundreds
OF small enterprises, such as grist
mills, gins, etc., not counted in this
enumeration. In the South since
1880 10000 miles of railroad have
been built, and over 100000, 900
have been spent IN building new
roads and improving old ones.
Cotton mills have increased from
$50, with Is, 222 looms and 713, :
989 spindles, in 1880, to over 800
mills with about $4,000 looms and
1 100000 spIndles, while many new

Mr., Davis BODY Servant

RALEIGH, n. g., Jan: 1.-James
H. Jones (cOlored), of this city,
who was Mr.. Jefferson Davis body
servant while the latter was Presl-
dent of the Southern Confederacy,
wrote him a letter some weeks ago
expressive Of his high regard. Jones
stated that he had not seen his for
mer master since both were taken to
Fortress Monroe. Jones was cap
tured with Mr.. Davis in Georgia,
and made great efforts to secure his
masters escape. Mr.. Davis makes
special mention OF him in his histO-
ry. Jones has made particular de-
NAL of the story that Mr.. DAVIS was
attIred In woman's clothing when
captured. Since the war Jones mas
lived here. He is a republican IN
politics, and has for eighteen years
been an alderman. His love for Mr..
Davis amounts to devotion. The
following autograph letter came to
day from Mr.. Davis, dated at Beau
yoir, Miss, December rs:
81 was very glad to receive your
letter, with Its assurance of kind re-
mem brauce, and 1t gave pleasure
not only to me but also to my
daughter, who was an infant when
you last saw her. Mrs. Davis, you
know, was always your particular
friend. We have all rejoiced When
we have heard of your honorable
prosperity, and have felt that it was
what was due to your integrity and
fidelity. The many years which
have come and gone since we part
Ell have in no wise diminished my
regard for you and interest in your
welfare. On Christmas day mail
ed to you the last photograph ia
ken of me in order that you might
see me as now am.
With the best wishes of myself
and Mrs. Davis and all my house
hold, am truly your friend,

IT seems that Mississippi is hav-
ing trouble with her negroes, but if
some of them disappear mysterious
ly such crimes as have lately been
recorded will soon cease.
A special to the New Orleans
TImes-DemOcrat says; Two weeF s
ago last Saturday Col. Paxton's
residence near Arcola was totally
destroyed by fire, and it is now
known that the fire was the work of
an incendiary. Seven OF the color
ed servants five men and two wO-
men-were arrested a few days
ago and kept under guard. After
some time a certain property, taken
from the house before the fire, was
recovered. Two Of the prisoners
confessed their guilt. One, a wO-
man employed as a cook, had
drugged the coffee, and but for the
fact that two members Of the family
were absent at supper time, the
whole household might have been
poisoned, as was MIR. Frank AldrIch
and wife who were about to visit
Col. and Mrs, Paxton, when the
flames were discovered. The pris~
oners also confdssed that one of them
stood at each door with an ak Oh
gun to kill any member Of the tam-
lily that tried to escape, but the
slowness of the fire alarmed them
