There were in this magisterial district

be put down for this precinct. Then

fourths of the whole number registered
were old soldiers or their sons. How
many were rejected? I am not able at

The registration at Kempsville is pro-

cinct will be closed in three days, and
the work of registration in Princess

The following have been registered to
date in the new books at kempsville:
Eighty-five white and 81 negro voters. On
the old books there are registered about
$50 white and 200 negro voters. Kemps-
Vile has long since been the political
battle-ground and Republican stronghold
led by slrewd, schemfns politicians, but
the chances now are. that the gang will
be broken up and viii have to look else
where for a job The total vote thus
far registered in the county is 727 white
and les negro voters. On the old books
there are 1922 whites and 9os negro vo-
ters.
1t looks as if the registration is going
to show up all right and be satisfactory
to the Democrats of the county.
