regarding peace in the Far East has
not borne fruit here. Officials do not

Wnlch Is manifested in such form as

owing to blindness or on account of
crippled arms, to ask assistance OF
an inspector to mark his ballot for
him.
The election law does make this
provision, but the inspectors will no
doubt see to it that Negroes who hap
pen to be temporarily blind" or
crippled" for election time only, will
not be allowed any assistance.
If any voter who is not actually
blind or crippled attempts to get as
sistance in making his ballot, it will
be the inspectors privilege to make
him take oath as to his alleged dis
ability. If it should be found out that
he has sworn falsely, the voter can
then be prosecuted in the courts for
perjury and, in the event of convic-
ton, he can be sentenced to Jail.
Colored voters who find it conven-
lent to get blind or crippled on cleo
ton day will therefore take warning.

SHERIFF HAD HARD
CHASE AFTER PRISONER

Shriff Van Pelt had a hard chase
yesterday about noon after a negro
named John Thomas, who was wanted
for gambling. The sheriff saw the
man in a negro parade and made for
him. Thomas saw what was doing
and turning fed towards Muscogee
wharf, the sheriff being in close pur-
suit
The sheriff fired one shot at the
negro to brighten him, but this only
had the effect of causing him to run
faster. The sheriff proved himself to
be a pretty good sprinter, for after
chasing the negro TO Museogee wharf
he succeeded in effecting his capture.

1t has been rumored that fraudulent
voting will be attempted to-day. In

persons who have no right to vote will

All such persons will take warning
that the strictest vigilance will be

every man who attempts to vote
fraudulently will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
Election fraud constitutes a peni-

see how nicely the engine was run

time all had assembled around
the thing that looks like an engine,
the thing suddenly reversed and
began to run backwards. Then the

the engine began TO oscillate and
