There viii be but five boxes at the
election to determine the question of a
reformatory for Chatham county, Sat
urday, April 10. This decision was
reached yesterday by Commissioner A.
Vetsburg, to whom the county commits
sioners confided all arrangements for
the election.
There will be a box for each of the
city districts and one for the country
districts AS it is not anticipated that
very large vote will be polled, Com
missioner Vetsburg reached the con-
clusion that this number would afford
ample voting facilities to all who cared
to express by ballot their preference on
the subject.
The box for the First district will be
in the Office of the county attorney, at
the Bull and President street corner of
the court house. The window fronting
on Bull street will be used. The Sec
ond district box will be in the same
Office, using, however, the President
street window. All the other boxes
will be located in the offices of the
County Commissioners, fronting on
President.
This action was decided upon so that
the officers in the court house might be
saved the annoyance of having their
offices invaded by detachments of
managers and clerks and the invari-
able crowd felection hangers on.
The managers of the election named
by Commissioner Vetsburg are aus fol-
lows:
Justices of the Peace: NJ. Naughtin,
G. E. Bevans, Richard Wickham,
Isaac r. Nathans, c. V. Hohenstein
G. Noble Jones. J. r. Saussy, w. II.

Russell, Isadore Michaels, r. A. Nor
Iissey, J. ]. Carr, Frank p. McIntire,
II J. Powers, w. T. Ennis, J. j. Di-
non. S. Fckman and j. j. Walsh.
There are fifteen managers and fif-
teen clerks to be divided equally be-
tween the five boxes which will allow
three managers and three clerks to each
box. This division has not yet been
made.
The details for the election have been
left to G.. Reuben Butler, clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners, who
will act as superintendent of election.
One detail, however, has already been
arranged. Rookie" Bennett, the old
Confederate soldier who has presided
over ticket tables at Chatham county
elections for many years-for so many
that he has almost become an election
institution, will discharge this duty on
April 10.
AS announced in the Morning News
would be done, the board of registrars
of the county went TO work yesterday
on the lists of registered voters sup
piled by the tax collector. for the pur
post of purging 1t of the names of those
not legally qualified to cast a ballot in
the approaching election. There are
many names to be stricken from the
lists, principally because their owners
have failed to pay taxes for the past
