INFORMATION FOR THE VOTERS.
! It Is Hoped Unregistered Voters VIII Register
this Year--The Primary Requirement.

The Importance of the registration
of voters to participate in the gene
raj State elections, Judging from the
small number of registered persons
in each community, does not seem to
be fully realized. This year those
who are interested in the future of
the South are urging qualified voters
to register, and it is hoped that there
will be general compliance.
In order that all may know when
they can register and what the re-
quirements are a representative of
The State recently asked Assistant
Attorney General Gunter to prepare
the following summary of the laws
on the subject of registration
"The registration books must be
opened for the registration of cleo
tors entitled to registration on the
first Monday in each month at the
Court House, until 80 days before
the general election, when they shall
be closed until after the election.
"In cities and towns of over 500
inhabitants the Supervisors of Regio,
tration shall open the books of regis
tration for one meeting at such time
as may be designated by the board
after two weeks notice, posted in
such town or city, at which meeting
shall be registered such qualified
electors of the county as may pre-
sent themselves.
"Persons becoming of age during
the 30 days prior 20 the general elec-
ton, during which the books are
closed, may be registered by apply
ing before the books are closed, if
otherwise qualified. The registra-
tion books are likewise closed sc
days before any special election.
"All persons registered on or be-
fore January 1, 1898, shall remain
during life qualified electors, unless
afterwards they become disqualified
by the constitution for committing
crime, etc. Persons moving from
one county to another may have their
registration certificates changed 10
the county to which they have
moved as soon as it is determined that
they were duly registered in the
county from which they moved.
"Every male citizen of the State
and of the United States, 81 years old
and upwards, who shall have been a
resident of the State for two years
in the county one year, in the polling
precinct at which he offers to vote
four months before any election, and

"What can do for you, madam ?"
he asked.
"May see Mr.. Arnold Edrones ?"
"Wby certainly, if it is your de-
SIRE" And he led the way into the
lonely and desolate cell.
The rustling of silks was audible
to Arnold, and he glanced up to be-
hold his ideal before him.
"Oh, Her, is it really you
Words cannot express my delight to
see you here. Can you stoop to
grasp the hand of a prisoner?"
She stood some distance away,
speechless, with her skirts tightly
drawn about her.
"Oh, Her, Her come nearer and
tell me that you do not believe me
guilty"
But not a word did abe utter.
"Oh, darling, how can you remain
30 flint hearted =? l am innocent
God knows 1 did not commit the
crime"
She approached a step nearer and
asked, "What about those letters ?"
81 know nothing of them. l de-
clare / am innocent of both this and
the murder. Believe me, ! would
never be guilty of so base an act"
As these words fell from his lips
he covered his face with both hands
and wept bitterly. His whole frame
trembled with emotion. "Oh, thou
merciful Father, God of both war
and peace, come before Thee to-
day pleading with Thee that Thou
may convince this beautiful creature,
whom l love so devotedly, of my
innocence, for Thou knowest l am
not guilty. O, my Father, 1 pray
Thee to put it into her heart to real
ize that l am suffering for the crime
of another. Dear Heavenly Father,
l pray Thee to free me from this
awful humiliation and bring the
guilty one to punishment"
At this moment Her fell upon her
knees beside the form of her lover.
"Oh, Arnold, l no longer believe you
guilty, and am sure you are innocent.
Why should you suffer for the sins
of others ?"
Arnold lifted his tear-stained face
toward hers, and as they sat, with
clasped hands, their tears informing
ling, they prayed together for his
deliverance.
"Thank God! you have not for
saken me-" cried Arnold, when he
realized that she no longer believed
him guilty.
After long interview Her bade
her lover adieu and returned to
"Sunny Side"

What She Was Charged With.

About ten years ago l witnessed
an unusual occurrence in the circuit
court room at London, Ky. Judge
Robert Boyd was the presiding JUS
tice. One morning, shortly after the
court had opened, Andrew Jackson
the foreman of the grand jury
appeared before the judge in charge
of a woman, who, he stated, had
refused to testify before the grand
jury.
The judge, with very polite bow
said to the woman "Madam, it is
your duty to tell anything you may
know about any violations of the
law in this county, except, of course.
such as may have taken place in
your immediate family. 1t would be
very disagreeable to me to have tc
punish you in any way, and l trust
that you will 60 at once and answe,
the questions that may be asked by
the foreman of the grand jury"
"I'll be burned if l do," she said
with whitening look of scorn.
"Mr. Clerk, enter fine of SIC
against this woman" said the court
"Now, madam, you 60 and testify tc
this iury at onceD -
"You 60 to HI, you burned ole
fool" the woman retorted.
"Mr. Sheriff, take her to iail,'
roared the judge.
"And hain't I already in jail fol
selling whiskey, and brought out Of
Jail to testify ?" she said, and will
an inimitable toss of her head sht
passed out of the court room.
Being very fond of the judge ant
quite intimate with him, I arose anG
said to him, as if I had not full,
gathered what was going on: "May
l inquire of your honor what the
lady is charged with ?"
81 don't know, sir; but / think sh,

The orlEin of lranr Names.


The popular terminations Of pet
names in earlier times were in, on, ct,
kin, cock and others Emma was
shortened to EN-, and for loves sake
It became Emmott or Emmett. Matilda
was first Til, then Tillot. Bartholomew
was Bart, then Little Bart or Bartlett.
The popularity Of these pet names is
seen in the great number Of them
which eventually became family
names
The Tillotsons, the Emmetts and the
Bartletts are numerous In England and
America. although few dream that
their names were Or,:...sslly pet and
not surnames. Before the use Of fam
lily names II was often necessary to use
diminutlve forms from the fact that
the same name was not infreQuently
given to two or three children Of the
same family. The original Of the sur
name Robinson is the pet name Of
Robin or Little Robert.
AS Germans Of today add chen to
children's names as term Of endear-
ment. making Anna Annchen, Eliza
beth Lischen. SO our English ancestry
used the equivalent kin. Watkin was
Little Walter, SlmkIn Little Simeon,
Perkin Little Peter Examinations In
kin and cock were in use among the
lower orders-that is, among the An
glo-Sa xons-while the diminutlves In,
on and ct were more aristocratic and
used by families Of Norman blood.
