the Indifference OF the voters In regard
TO registering as your correspondent is
Informed that only a comparatively small
percentage Of the voters have yet applied
for registration. although the board had
thoroughly advertised the time and places
OF beginning.
The following constitute the boards Of
the other districts:
Ternplcton District-C- N Lee, J. II.
Hatch. Jr.. and Thomas Temple.
Rives District-W. II. C. Spicer. F. B.
Mccain and r. r. Reese.
Bland District-George j. Boisseau.
Thomas y. Munt and - Green.
Brandon District-George 7. Darracott.
y. H. Burrow and George r. Hatch.
in these districts dates for opening reg
istraton books range from September
sth to about September 18th. Notices have
already been posted.
Another interesting fact is that most
of the negroes who applied to register
claimed that they had been wagon driv-
ers or buffers or had otherwise per-
formed manual labor in the service of the
United States army. or had thrown up
breastworks for the Confederate army,
and claimed their right to register on
these grounds
