doubtedly something on loot.
Whatever the cause in Ander-
son and in other parts OF the state.
there has been as little effort as
usual among the negroes OF this
county to secure registration GER
tihcates. At the meeting OF the
board on Monday there were only
two applications from negroes one
OF these applicants was a school OF
teacher who successfully stood all
the tests and who was given his
certificate. The other applicant
was tested and was told to come
back when the board had consider
ed his case. He did not return.
About seventv-hve registration
