The Judges and Constable Could Not Serve

election held here to-day. There are
seven hundred and scyenty-four names
on the registration books-four hundred
whites and three hundred and seventy
-four colored. IL seems that the fault can
not bc located. but the result IS that the
usual vote OF about I'VE hundred will
not have any voice in selecting the repre-
sentatives for Halifax county IN the next
LEGISLATURE Two or The judges tell me
tina, they notified the proper authorities
more than ten days ago that they could
not serve: the third Judge lives three
miles from the village. The constable
also gave legal notice that he could not
serve. The member OF the board. whose
business IL is TO deliver the tickets TO this
fudge came here last Thursday for that
purpose. and was told where this third
Judge lived. The tickets were not deiv-
cred and this morn ng the voters began
TO assemble and found no iiekc,s. and
none can be found.
