a proposition to take up further nego-
tiattons looking toward arbitration has
been made by the union through the

the broad smile which President Mitch

BRISTOL, VA, October 1.-(special.)
Up to Monday night only SAB voters had
registered in Bristol under the require
ments of the new Constitution. Only
twenty-five names went on the books on
Monday. 1t begins to look as though
not more than 700 voters, or about half
the usual number heretofore voting. will
get their names on the registration roll.
The negro vote will be practically reduced
to nothing in Bristol. Not negro has
been able to register during the last three
or four days. and out of about 325 negroes,
who have heretofore voted, only sixteen
have been able to register thus far. A
majority Of the negroes heretofore voting
have not even ventured to apply to the
registrars for the privilege. Some of
of those who have held themselves up as
criterions of their race in point of intel
.ligence. have failed utterly when con-
fronted with the simplest questions put
by the registrars. Here, as in Richmond,
and elsewhere, some very amusing an
swers have been given by the colored
contingent.
