MAY CUT OUT MANY THOUSANDS.

While only casual attention has yet
been called to the fact, there is evident
need of continually impressing upon
the public the fact that the Smith adj
ministration registration law, requir-
ing voters to register six months be-
fore an election, is still in force, and
that the man who oyerlooks it's exis-
tence is apt to find himself shut out
from the exercise of the franchise.
The law is bad one No man
should be required to register so long
in advance of an election, and no man
should be shut out because he failed
to qualify half year before an cleo
ton. Thirty days would permit of
ample time in which to purge the reg
istration lists and they should be kept
open up to within a month of the day
of balloting.
The present registration law was
political maneuvre, pure and simple.
1t has no merit to recommend it to the
sober sense of the people 1t is espec-
tally apt to disqualify those living in
the country. 1t is quite probable that
many thousands of white farmers will
be shut out from voting next year be-
cause 81 their failure to register six
months in advance of election day In
the cities, where the people are close
to the court house, and where the pol
iticians are always active in seeing
that the registration is as complete as
possible, there will be comparatively
few shut out through the operations of
this law. Those who are shut out in
the cities will be the Weather class,
who are prone to neglect such matters
until the last moment, and who are not
open to the persuasion of political
workers like the~poorer men.
LIS almost public calamity when
thousands of farmers and others liv-
ing in the rural districts are deprived
of their votes through the operation of
a registration law such as this The
only way in which to avoid this will be
for the newspapers, and especially the
weeklies, to lay stress upon the mat
ter from the moment the registration
books open until the day they close, to
sound a warning week after week to
their readers, to persistently urge up
on them the duty of registering
promptly. The weekly press must be
largely looked to to overcome the
pernicious effects of the existing law.
And the best thing the legislature can
do at its next session is to amend the
law and bring the time down to a
more reasonable limit
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-09-16

True worth is in being, not seeming
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not in dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in their blind
ness,
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure:
We cannot do wrong and feel right;
Nor can we give pain and gain pleas
ure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wings of the sparrow
The bush for the robin and wren;
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
It's not in the pages of story
The heart of it's ills to beguile,
Though he who makes courtship to
Glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile.
For when from her heights he has won
her
Alas! it is only to prove
There's nothing so sacred as honor,
And nothing so loyal as Love!
We cannot make bargains fer blisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets +;
And sometimes the thing our life
misses
Helps more than the things which
it gets.
For good lieth in the pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just in the doing and doing
AS we would be done by, is all.
Alice Cary.
