The registration books for the coming
November election will be open to-day
for the last time. Voters outside of in
corporated towns may register from the
hours of 8 a. M. to II M; in Incorporated
towns the books will be kept open till 8
O'Clock at night for the purpose of regis
tration.
Every white man who is in favor of
decent government should see that his
name is registered. To-day is your last
opportunity to attend to it.
This is not new registration and it
unless you have changed your residence
to another precinct.
There will be an entirely new reglstra-
ton of voters in only the following pre-
cincts: Cedar Fork township, Hutchin-
sons Store precinct, New Light township,
Panther Branch township, st. Matthews
township.
To-day is what is known as challenge
day. On this day in all the precincts in
the county, without reference to whether
they are in the country or in the town,
the registrars and judges of election will
keep their registration books open at
their respective precinct from 8 O'Clock a..
IN. until O'Clock p. m., when and where
any elector of the precinct may challenge
the name of any person appearing on
said registration book by stating upon
affidavit the specific cause or causes of
challenge. Written notice of the chal-
lenge must be served upon the challeng-
ed person and the judges in the respec-
tiv precincts will assemble at the poll
ing places on next Saturday, (November
81, at 10 o'clock a. M, to hear and
decide the challenges.
The sheriff, constable or other officer
serving the notice upon the challenged
person is entitled to fee of % cents
therefor. which will be returned by the
county if the challenge is sustained.
Especial attention is called to this fact
That the registration for the city cleo
ton has nothing to do with registration
for Incorporating election. y Do not
let voters think that because they are
properly registered for the city election
on the city registration books they
are properly registered for this election
The two sets of registration books are
entirely different
Now, as to certificates. If any voter
registered and voted in the State cleo
ton of 1896, in any ward, precinct or
township in Wake county, and has
since the election in 1896 removed to
any other ward, precinct or township.
in Wake county, before such person can
register and vote in the ward, precinct
or township in which he now resides,
he must obtain from the registrar of the
precinct, ward or township of his former
residence a certificate stating that he has
removed from such ware or precinct
and that his name has been erased from
the registration books of the ward or
precinct of his former residence
Too much care can not be exercised by
voters and officers of election about this
matter. Many voters have been deprived
of the right to vote in former elections
by failure to comply with this provision
of the law.
If a voter has resided in North Caro-
lima twelve months, and in the county
of Wake ninety days, he is entitled to
vote. or has the necessary residential
qualifications. The law does not re-
quire any definite period of residence in
the ward precinct or township in which
the voters proposes to register and vote,
but every person must be bona fide
resident of the ward or precinct in which
he proposes to vote before he is entitled
to register and vote in such precinct
