Less than 600 Glynn county voters
save registered for the approaching
primaries and elections this fall, and
while it was expected that there
would be a heavy increase this week,
the voters have been qualifying un-
usually SLOW, and, unless over half the
voters in the county qualify within
the next two weeks, the registration
will be the smallest in recent years
1t is believed that the new regis
tration law is responsible for the de-
crease, as is the case in practically
every other county in the state, and
;.oG2h strenuous efforts have Ieen
made in many sections t. get the vot-
ers to register, still there has been no
decided increase during the past sew
eral days.
The books will close on April 9TH,
and while it is expected that large
number of voters will qualify before
that time, still the indications are that
there will be a decided decrease over
The registration of 1908 unless some
good work is done. 1t is true that
only few of the candidates are ac-
lively at work urging their friends to
register and, when all of them get in
the field, Collector Read will likely be
kept busy.
1t is understood that the democratic
executive committee will meet within
the next few days and select a date
for tha cOuntU urinary which in all
probability, will he the same date as

READY TO BEGIN
EXTENSION WORK
OBJECTIONS OF PROPERTY OWN
ERS TO OPENING STREET
ARE WITHDRAWN.
AS Soon as Fourth Avenue is Opened
Work on the Trolley Line Extensi IN
will Begin-Rail for the New Line
Already Here.


Work of extending the line of the
City and Suburban Railway company
at the south end has been somewhat
delayed owing IT, objections of various
property owners, most of wnom live
in Savannah, regarding the opel!ug
CT Fourth avenue, down whicA the
L-W line will extend.
AS is we'll known, this street has
never been opened, and in order to
open it, it will be necessary to do
considerable clearing away. In fact,
the street passes through vari Us
property, and this is what has caused
the objection.
Mayor Hopkins, however, wAile n
Savannah Tuesday, saw the objecting
property owners and succeeded in
reaching an amicable agreement, the
owners cOnSenting to the opening ct
the property without further objac~
tions.
This means that the active W-rk CT
construction will begin at once. The
rail for the new line has arrived III
the city, while the survey has also
i3een made, and as soon as force
can tie secured and the prelimina. y
arrangements made. the work of grad
ing ard track-laying will begin. 1t
is understood that it will take only
a short time to construct this loop,
connecting the Newcastle and Albany
street lines, and cars will probably
be operated over the new line by May
1st
The opening of the street will, nee
ressarily, have to be completed before
the grading can bgin, and it is likely
that the city will begin on this work
next week.
