he wished to familiarize himself, and on
this account he felt that he must resign
earlier than he had anticipated.
This necessitated an early meeting of
the commission to elect new registrar.

candidates before it. For several of them
lengthy and numerously signed petitions
were before the judges. The petition in
behalf of Mr.. McIntyres appointment
was a strong one and contained about 300

Mr. Saussy is to enter a field for which he
is well equipped, he having been for
long time superintendent of the Savannah
Street railroad.
TO CLOSE JUNE f.
The official registration lists close the
first Mon day in June. The work of the
registrars, however, will in no wise be
concluded on that date. After the lists
close the registrars will be required first
TO prepare within ten days a complete
list of all the qualified voters for publica-
ton, as the law requires publication of
the list and its posting throughout the
county.
After that and at any time before the
election they will have to prepare six in
dexed lists of the qualified voters for the
use of the election managers at the court
house, the original book being retained in
the hands Of the superintendent of the
election on the day 1t is held.
As this law contemplates providing for
all state and county elections, it will be
the duty Of the registrars also to prepare
separate book for each of the eight dis
tricts in the county containing the names
of the qualified voters in each one. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that there will be
| considerable work required to carry out
the provisions of the law after the lists
have been closed.
