Is youa NAME rnERs7
Names Not on Preliminary veliae List May
Be Added Later.

Considerable interest is manifest in the
city over an item in the Gardiner col
umn of Thursdays Journal. to the effect
| that the names of any poll tax payers
not handed in by the assessors to the
| board of registration cannot be put on
the preliminary voting list. and this is so
according to the law.
The Augusta registration board, how
ever. does not understand that those not
| recorded by the assessors will not have
an opportunity to vote, and have their
names on the voting lists. 1t is simply
this: Names not found by the assessors
are not nut on the preliminary list, which
is published 30 days before election, but
they may be put on at the public session
of the board of registration four days .e-
fore election.
1t seems that some OF the citizens Of
Gardiner were missed by the assessors
while making their rounds and therefore
their names do not appear in the books
handed in to the board. But there is no
need Tor them to have any fears; all they
will have to do is to go and see that they
are put on the~list at the public session.
The Augusta registration board is at
present at work revising the lists
from the records handed in by the
assessors. striking off the names of those
who have died, a list of whom is sub
mitted to them by the city clerk, and
transferring the names of those who have
moved into another ward from that IN
which they lived at the time of the March
election. Names are found on the voting
lists that are not in the records of the
nd afS ran nrI to, IL,
that they may be accounted tor by the
assessors who appear before the regis
tration board for that purpose.

was coming out of the court from Saw

was coming down Cony street. They
met on Cony street and as neither had
time to pull up they cOllided. The

no damage was done besides slight

ing that reduced rates may be secured In

From Boston there are summer excur-
sion rates, for instance, while the regu-
lar fare from Boston to Bath is S32,
round trip tickets may be obtained for
$500. and so on to other parts of the
State. The fare from Boston to Augusta

THE EMANCIPATED MIND.
An AntagOnfstfc Feeling Il Sure TO
Invite Antagonism in
Another.

l was travelling with friend from the
south, who is one of the best fellows
know. He is kind, eonsiderate, chi ,al
rous and all that characterizes a south
ern gentleman, but he has false idea
of dignity in some respects and precipi-
tatcs controversy sometimes without
cause, and when he himself is to blame
in the matter. We were discussing the
theory of emancipation, and he agreed
with me on almost all of the points at
issue, in fact, to such an extent that
felt that he absorbed the idea fully,
when he said
Yes, it is true, and | believe in it,
and | think ! have practiced it some
what. but | can't stand impertinence
from niggers; they rub up against me
all the time. and annoy me terribly,
especially these Pullman porters. "
Yes said | in reply, you have at
tanned pretty good self-control and
have reason to be proud of il; you are
pretty nearly a perfect man; the only
thing you are not superior to is mig
ger" The rebuke impressed him as a
truism that had never occurred to him
in that light before.
The truth of the matter is, and | have

anticipated friction sends out a shaft in
advance which rebounds and rebounds

looking for impertinence from any
source he will be pretty sure to find it.
but if he carries a mind and heart free
from prejudice. which is the condition
of emancipation. the shaft will not be
Embossed. and the disturbing vibrations
will not occur. l do not believe that
Pullman porters were ever discourteous
to Phillips Brooks or Edward Everett
Hale or Prof. Swing or men of their
cahber of mind; or if they were. do not
believe that the impertinence made any
impression on them except to excite
pity.-Horace Fletcher, in Menticm-
