BLACKSTONE VA SEPTEMBER L. L.
rhere ia some indication now that tho
legislative primary for Nottoway ana
Amelia counties, which has been rather
n,,iet up 10 this time, Will become more
i interesting from now until the date OF the
primary, Tuesday, the 9th.
The registrations are about over, ana
Il can be easily seen how many votes y
viii DO possible to cast and how many
4 either candidate would hhVe u fee ' .
to get majority ~
counties will not be n Democratic pri-
mary. 4. appears, but simply white
mans primary, since any white man VIII
be allowed to vote, and tho fact OF ms
voting will be accepted as his obligation
to support the nominee.
This latter fact has Just been made
known in this, Nottoway. county by
circular issued by the county chairman
Captain J. NJ. Harris.
4 WHITE PRIMARY. al
IN th,s no snys: 1.-THE Amelia County
Democratic Committee having construed
the party law to mean that any whlto
man can vote In this primary IN Amelia
because his motive to vote would be prima
fnoIe evidence that he would votes ior
the nominee in November.
Now, therefore, to comply with pro-
4 vision Of the primary plan-that IS, 10
have the primary uniform throughout
the dIstrict'-T, by authority vested IN
me by and at recent meeting OF tho
Democratic committee In this county.
40 hereby announce that any white man
u who will be qualified to vote for the nom
nee in November next will be allowed TO
cast his vote In this primary.
What effect the throwing down OF tho
bars such as this does, will have upon
the primary is hard to tell.
* There are not many white Republicans
n Nottoway county, and the granting OF
& this privilege to them, of allowing them
to take TART In naming the candidate, IS
rather an innovation mn this rock-rlbped
Gibraltar Of Southside Democracy.
THE AMELIA PLAN.
In Amelia county nominations for
county officers has not been followed
in the past, but this time they will nomi-
i nate the candidates for these offices, ana
it will be done on the day Of the legis-
lative primary. This will result In
large vote being polled over there, while
in this county there will only be the can-
didates for the Legislature from whom
votes will be cast. There VIII be no
nominations for county officers here. the
I fight being left open free for-all' until
the regular election in November
