untiring efforts of Governor Aycock in
behalf of public education, FOR his efforts

fruit in a largely increased interest and
attendance in the public schools, and we
believe will bring still larger results in
the future. We believe that he has more
than fulfilled the pledge he made to the
people upon this question, and in so
doing has earned the right to rank as one
of our States greatest Governors. We
note with pride also his recent triumphs
in the field of oratory at Charleston and
elsewhere to such an extent that a lead

BOARD OF REGISTRARS.
Impression That Examination
 Necessary is Erroroneous.

The Board of Registrars of Montgom- cry County have held three night ses- sions at which there has been d disap- pointing lack of applicants.
 It is reliably stated that many voters believe that every man wno gets cer- tifcate of registration secures it only through rigid examination. They be- lieNe, some of them. that the property qualification bars out many and that d man must own 500 before he can get his certificate Aupther class believes that every man who goes before the Board must undergo d searching examination to prove that he is educationally qualified for the ballot
 These beliefs it is understood have kept away number of voters who could easi- ly secure registration certificates. They have preferred to stay away rather than undergo the humiliation of the failure that theV feared
 The 'Bcard of Registrars have no rigid questions to ask applicants. Registering is an exceedingly simple matter. The man of good character. the old soldier. the descendant of old soldiers experience There are but few white men. some of whose ancestors have not participated in the wars in which the United States have been engaged. The Board has dppreciat- cd this fact. The descendants of the old soldiers experience no more difficulty in heinz registered than do the old soldiers. The educational qualification has not barred any of the descendants of the old soldiers. The property qualifications have not shut out and prevented them from being registered
 The Board. however. takes in many un- der the good character clause. This ad- mits to registration the man who bears 8 good character among his ntighbors, although he may not be descendant of an old soldier.
