Although we have tried our best
and thought we had succeeded, in
the terms of the contest plain
and clear, it seems that we have not
succeeded. Some have not read the
terms at all--others don't understand
it. Let it be stated again: Each new
subscriber gets 900 votes for each year
paid in advance. Old subscribers get
100 votes for each subscription paid
up to date. For each year renewed in
advance and paid for, 300 votes, the
same as a new subscriber. A subscriber
can pay as many years in advance az
he chooses, and get credit for 900 votes
for each one dollar paid. Votes are no
sold. Each one dollar paid must re
present a subscription-vote for whom
or what you please.
The highest number Of votes, care
fully kept and correctly counted get

The Jim Crow
Street Car Law

The jim Crow Car Law will go into
effect on all the electric lines of the
state tomorrow, the 10th, by an act
passed by the recent session Of the
Legislature The law was enacted two
years ago for Richmond and Norfolk,
and its admirable workings in those
two cities induced the Legislature to
extend its workings to the whole state.
The law is drastic in its nature. fix
ing a penalty for each offence on the
company for failure TO have the two
races seated separately; also a penalty
on the conductor and motorman for
failure to execute the law. 1t gives
these two men the full powers of police
officers in seeing that the law is obey
ed, and passengers properly seated.
We predict that it will work splend-
idly here, as we have heard of no OPP
position to it from the colored people
as they have done in other places.
The company we learn are preparing
rules to govern the road here, which
feel sure will meet every Requirement
of the law as it stands on the statut,
book.
