REGISTRATION OF ILLITERATES.
How 1t is Provided for In Election
Law.
Chat.ia m Record.

Chatham Record.
The last Legislature passed an
act (chapter 800 providing for the
permanent registration OF illlterate
votes under the grandfather clause
of the suffrage amendment. This
registration will begin next Thurs
day (the End OF OCTOBER and close
on the 25th OF October
BY this act any person who cannot
read and write may register if he or
any ancestor was voter on the LIST
of January, 1867, or at any time
prior to that date The names of
these votes Will be kept on a separate
list from other votes, which list the
registrar must return to the clerk OF
the Superior Court, who must make
all alphabetical list by townships
and record the same in u book pro-
vided for that purpose. The clerk
must also send a copy of such list to
the Secretary OF State, who must
record the same in book provided
for that purpose.
In this manner the names OF all
such votes will be permanently pre-
served and they will always be en-
titled to vote. The registrar must
also give every such voter ii certifi-
cate showing that he is duly
registered voter and the clerk must
certify under his official seal to the
genuineness of such certificate, and
any person having such a certificate,
and moving to another county, can
register and vote in any county in
the State, Notwithstanding his in
ability to read and write. II Il voter
loses his certificate he can get another
which can be used in place OF the lost
one.
The Legislature has thus provided
the way by which illiterate white men
shall always be entitled to vote, as
was promised during the last cam
paign. And, strange to say, Re
publicans in the Legislature voted
against this act which provides for
this permanent registration.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.

The registration books are now
open to those who wish to qualify
themselves as voters under the Con
stitutiOnal Amendment and the new
election law carrying out the pro-
visions of that Amendment. There
will be an entire new registration this
year. All men who have voted here
tOfOre. as well as those coming OF
age since the last election, will have
to register. For the benefit OF these
persons we publish the following pro-
vision regarding registration OF
voters, being section !, chapter
900 Of the Acts OF the Legislature OF
1901
'Every person claiming the benefit
of section i OF article VI OF the Con-
stitutiOn OF North Carolina, as rati-

shall be entitled to register upon the
permanent record for registration
provided for under said section four,
shall. prior to December LIST, 1908,
apply for registration to the officer
charged with the registration OF
voters as prescribed by law in each

Review OF Reviews for October.

From no other periodical can so
sane and accurate a view Of current
politics be gained as from the Re-
view Of Reviews. The October num-
Der of that publication is noteworthy
for its very clear and full editorial ex-
position of the issues involved in this
falls campaign, tho effect of Speaker
Henderson's retirement, the meaning
of the tariff agitation in the Middle
West, and President Roosevelt's atti-
tude on the trust question. The
Presidents remarkable speaking tours
through New England, in the South,
and to the West. as far as Indianap-
olis,-where an abrupt ending was
necessitated by the absceSs on the
Presidents leg,-are described and
pictured for the reader more compre-
hensively than in most daily or week
~ journals. In fact, this record of
the years campaigning up to date is
something unique in our periodical
literature. 1t includes a survey of
State political activities. East, West,
North, and South. Neither Josiah
Quincy's conservative leadership Of
the Massachusetts Democrats nor Tom
Johnson's capture of the Ohio Demo-
cratic organization. on behalf Of the
pro-Bryan radicals, is ignored. The
editor of the Review has added another
chapter to the unequaled History of
Our Own Times" that he is writing
month by month.
In an article on The South and
Her History" David Y. Thomas shows
what the historical societies and other
agencies are doing, in various South
ern States. TO stimulate and revive an

ABOUT DISFRANChlSEMENr
Stanly Enterprise.

Does the Amendment disfranchise?
We would answer 10y saving that ii Il
man fails to register in the prescribed
time he is disfranchiSed SO far as that
special election is concerned. Under
the Amendment a man is asked to
pay his poll tax on or before May l :.
under the registration laws he is asked
to put his name on the books in time
or he cannot vote. Hundreds ofpeo-
pie have been disfranchised every
year by failing to register. and no
cry was every heard therefrom. In
% cases out of every 100 the man
who failed to pay his poll tax this
year before MAY list, is one who was
abundantly able to pay it. Now. we
again submit the Question-is there
a single white man disfranchised by
virtue of the Amendment? Why do
the Republicans howl? Only to fool
people and to get votes
II Il man is disfranchised he did the
act himself The law gave him IA
chance and he did not take it. Which
will YOU dO-blame the law or blame
the man for the act? Ten months
was given every taxpayer in which
to pay ispoll tax. The law did not
affect anyone over - years of age.
The man who failed to meet that OBJ
legation should bring the matter to
his own door. and give no heed to
the spellbinders who would place him
on the throne with martyrs.

may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
