Especial attention is called to this fact,
that the registra ton for the city cleo
ton has nothing TO do with registration
for the approaching election. Do not
let voters think that because they are
properly registered for the city election
on the city registration books that 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
i'll Wake county, before such per-
son can register and vote N the ward,
precinct or township in which he now
resides, he must obtain from the regis
trar of the precinct. ward or township
of his former residence a certificate,
stating that he has removed from such
ward 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 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
