An effort to see Col. Hawkins was made

Thus far no through tickets have been
sold at the Central office over the Savannah

fails to make satisfactory arrangements

The Central thinks Col. Hawkins wants

passenger traffic until the roadbed is settled
and the track is in better condition than it

Could Not Stand Dressing.

General Gordon, it will be remember
Cd, had accepted the post of private Sec
retary to Lord Ripon, the then newly
appointed Governor-General of India.
The private secretary, however, sudden
ly and without warning, flung up the
appointment, to the surprise of every
body, and returned home. One evening,
in course of conversation, the topic OF
fashionable society was touched upon,
and Gordon made reference to the rea-
son that induced him to give up Office
on the occasion mentioned. The true
and only reason he had, he said, for
leaving India was that he could not put
up with the ways and customs of the
high social circle in which he was ex-
pected to move. "Dress for dinner,
dress for evening parties, dress for
balls, dress and decoration, decoration
and dress-day after dayi could not"
said Gordon, ''stand the worry of it,
and rather than do so 1 gave up the
appointment. t."-Contemporary Review.

THE LAST DAY FOR REGISTERING

Many Voters Take the Sunday Oppor-
tunity--Hoils Close To-day.
In order to give those who were unable
to do so during the week DAYS an oppor-
tunity to register the registration offices
were open yesterday morning from 0
O'Clock to 12 noon. Quite a number in the
various districts awaited themselves of
this opportunity, but there still remains
large percentage of the voters of the city
who have not yet registered. The EN-
poyes of the committee on registration of
the Chamber of Commerce were out in
each ward with carriages bringing in the
apathetic citizens to the various registration
offices.
Today is the last day for resistra-
ton. All who fail to register to-
day will be DISTINGUISHED, not only
for the city election of the 14th,
but for the charter election that will soon
follow. There will be no other opportunity
to register until the county commissioners
meet in August 10 divide the county into
election districts, and hold a registration
No vote will be received at any election
except upon presentation of a regis
tration certificate. Under the
new law there is no provision for the ad-
mission Of votes upon oath, the testimony
of witnesses, or in any way Whatever in
case of neglect to register. The offices will
