There have been no developments in
the senatorial fight in bingham. An
administration man said yesterday
that it is not the purpose of Chatham
county to be tyrannical, or to break
up the rotation system. but that since
this county is vitality interested it has
a perfect right 10 insist that the ad-
Joining county not name a man antag
onistic to Chatham.
We do not ask to be allowed to
name the senator. but on the contrary
are perfectly willing to have bingham
do the naming" he said. But we do
insist, in a spirit of fairness, that Eff
fingham select a man who is not an
tagonistic TO US. We have a right to
ask this since We have a great many
more votes than the other two coun-
ties and are deeply interested in the
senator from the First Destrict.
"All we ask Effingham county to do
is to select a man who is not vacil-
lating, and one who win not antagon-
ize us in the Legislature. This is an
important matter and we cannot af-
ford to go to sleep on our rights. It
doesn't matter a fig to us who the man
is so long as we know he will treat
Chatham fairly"
Will Pass 5000 Mark.
There are but two days left in which
to register and there will probably be
a rush to-day and tomorrow. Yester-
day 100 registered, running the total
registration to 1921.
OF the 100 who registered yesterday,
in the neighborhood of twenty-five
were new citizens. There have been
quite a number of new citizens made
within the last week and without ex-
ception they have registered and be-
come voters.
There are a great many citizens who
will be disfranchised because of their
failure to register, although Clerk Pow
ers expects number of those who
have neglected to register to visit him
to-day or tomorrow.
