Country Banks Prey of Cracksmen
Il wouldn't rest easy If had any great
interest in a country bank these days"
remarked Mr.. Thomas l.. Sessions, of St
Louis, at the Shoreham.
ut seems as though all the thieves and
cracksmen of the country were concen-
trating their efforts upon the banks of
small towns. You can't pick up a daily
newspaper that doesn't tell of a bank
robbery.
THE so-called burglar-pro safes in
use are got into with nearly as much
ease by the thieves as the ld-fashioned
fireproof kind that a professional could
drive nail into and despoil it of it's con-
tents in jiffy. The rural financiers will
be forced, if this sort of thing keeps up,
to keep body of armed men on guard
men who not only can shoot, but who will
be wise enough to get the drop on any
gang that comes with evil intent"

COUNTY CHAIRMAN BROUN
Urges All the Democrats to Get
Registered Now.

To the Voters of Clarke County:
You are earnestly requested to
avail yourselves of the opportunity
now afforded you of registering.
Should You not DO so at tie times
during September and October. as
set apart by the registrars. and apply
for registration in the future. YOU
will not only be required to pay q
poll tax of $3.50 for three years next
preceding that in which you offer to
register, but you will have to make
application TO the registrars in your
own handwriting unless physically
unable to do SOL, and that without
aid, suggestion, or memorand um
from anyone else.
Allow me to request you not to
make the mistake of failing to reg
lister at this time, because You will
not be allowed to cast any vote, either
upon county, state, or national affairs,
not even upon the bridge question,
in which great many of us are
deeply interested, will you be allowed
to vote, should you fail to register.
Don't be misled and think that
because you are registered under
the Old Constitution that you can
vote without registering under the
New Constitution. This registra-
ton now going on is an entirely
new deal, just as if the Old Con-
stitution never existed.
Therefore, in order to entitle YOU
to vote, as ! have said above, on any
question, you will have to appear
before the registrars and have your
name registered upon the books.
Some of you may think at the
present time that you do not care to
vote, but we never know when we
Will change our minds, and as it does
not cost you anything to register at
the present time, why not avail your
self of this opportunity?

We are at the bat again in the
little game of registration. TO Judge
10y the small numbers who have had
their names put on the books,we have
been hitting nothing but "pop" flies
up 20 this time We will not retire
from the field, however, until the
time is up.
Elsewhere in this paper, we show
to our readers the great part played
oy the State press in this important
matter. They are calling the people
to their duty everywhere 10 the
broad bounds of this great and grand
old Commonwealth. The newspapers.
big and little, daily and weekly, all
are doing their utmost to teach the
people the Importance of the hour.
and make them throw off their
lethargy.
And SO again we, in an honest en-
deavor to do our humble part, would
call upon our people to measure mp
Ia their responsibilities, and see to il
that their names are put on the reg
istration lists. These lists will con.
stltute permanent roll of the elec
tors, aud will form a permanent list
of honor.
Let each and every white man in
the county of Clarke make it HI,
business to enquire of his neighbor il
he has registered, and if it turns out
that he has not, let him urge him t
do so without delay.
The November elections are coming
the bridge elections are coming, anC
if your names are not down, you cal
stand by and lick your chops, anC
enquire without much satisfaction al

ness of the thusness, whilst the ''gem
