disagreeable duly. We offer the follow
ing suggestions as to how you shall pro-
ceed to register or assist others in doing
so:
When the registrars ask an applicant to
explain some portion of the Constitution,
LET the applicant make some answer to the
question, the most reasonable answer. II
he does net understand the question let him
tell the registrars SO, and tell them he does
not understand Constitutional law. Every
applicant who does that will be registered
If the registrars refuse him registration
there will be friend at hand to prepare
for appealing the case to the circult court.
Judge jackson ast year compelled the
registrars 10 register every man who tried
to answer the questio s asked him; and ne
will do the same thing this year.
Every man who applies for registration
should alec require the registrars to tell
whether they have registered him or not.
The applicant has the right to know, so
he can prepare his appeal at once, if he is
denied registration. If the registrars re-
fuse to tell any applicant whether they
have registered him or not, let the matter
be reported Immediately to H. g. Mccall,
at Tszewell, and legal steps will he taken
to compel the registrars to give the in
formation.
Last year the registrars in Clear Fork
District did not tell the applicants whether
they were registered or not. Every body
took it for granted that they were regis
tered, and the result was that hundreds
of men, who ought to have been registered,
were left off the books that we're returned
to the clerks Office. This was considered
questionable trick on the part of the
registrars, and it is the purpose Of the Re
publicans of Tazewell county not to per
NIT such conduct on the part Of registrars
in the future, if The courts will see that
justice is done.
Counsel for taking necessary appeals to
Judge Jackson, an1 for the purpose Of
making registrars tell whether they regis
ter persons or not, are engaged, and will
proceed to do the work as soon as cases
are reported to them.

REGISTER! REGISTER!

We publish in another column list ofthe
times and places Tor the registration of vot-
ers in the three several districts of Tazewell
county. We wish to urge upon our readers
that they register at this registration, if
they have not already done so, and that
they go in person to their neighbors and
urge them to do the same thing.
The registration this Fall is the most
important one thatIhas ever been provdi-
ed for in the State of Virginia. 1t is es-
pecially important to the uneducated poor
men. If they did not register last year
and do not register now, they will be
permanently deprived Of the right to vote.
The new Constitution provides an edu-
cational qualification for registration after
the lst of January, 1904. 1t says, that,
unless physically unable, every person
"shall make application to register IN his
o,c1a hand ,crjting, without aid, suggestion,
or memorandum, in the presence OF the
registration officers, stating therein his
name, age, date and place of birth, resi-
dence and occupation at the time and for
the two years next preceding and wheth-
er he has previously voted, and, if 80 the
State, county and precinct IN which he
last voted"
This provision will completely disfran'
chise every uneducated man who did not
register in 1902 or does not register this
year, 1908.
Impress upon the poor, uneducated men
the importance of availing themselves of
this, their last, chance to retain the right
to vote, and get them to register nor.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1903-08-27
ANOTHER IMPORTANT REASON.

There is still another reason why the
poor men of the country should register
this Fall If they wait until 1904, or there
after, when they present themselves be-
fore the boards for registration they will
have 10 produce proof that they have paid
their poll taxes for the three years next
preceding, that is r 1901, 1902 and 1903.
The man who registers this year will only
have to pay his poll tax for 1908 as a pre-
requisite for voting in 1904. But those
who fail to register now will IN 1904 not
only have to stand an educational test, but
will have to be able to show that they have
paid $3.50 in poll taxes, otherwise they can
not register.

the main then passes along this avenue

Mr.. Mcfarland said it would take about
three years to complete the work of the
gravity system, but the bill now pending
made it possible to go on with the work
as fast as the iron pipe could be OBJ
taized.
Mr. Mcfarland said the revenues Of
the Water Department. which, under the
law, cannot be used for any purpose ex-
cept TO extend the water service, we're

He said all that had been needed was
for Congress TO authorize the department

LAYING NEW MAINS
TO GIVE MORE WATER
Greater Pressure Provided for the Lower Sections
of the City,

One of the praiseworthy features Of
the District appropriation bill. as It
passed the House the other day, is the
provision for the laying Of new trunk
water mains to relieve the gravity pres
sure in the lower parts Of the city. Mon
ey has been available for this work for
three or four years past in the funds Of
the water department. but up TO this
time Congress has not authorized its
use.
On the supposition that this provision
will be included IN the bill when It be-
comes law. It viii enable the department
TO carry out a plan formed several years
ago for equalizing the pressure Of the
water supply, particularly in the region
surrounding Capitol Hill.
AS matters stand, the supply OF water
for Southeast Washington is carried by
gravity from the distributing reservoir
near Howard University, through a p
inch main, which conducts water to the
Navy Yard. This main is drawn heavily
upon by the Navy Yard, and the Penn
syIvania Railroad Company. and for sew
eraI hours each day the pressure Is SO
small as 10 give poor service to private
houses in that section.

the sWater Department, said yesterday

making an improvement which he recon-
mended in his report to the Engineer
Commissioner, IN 1900. He said if The
