REGISTRATION BOOKS NOW OPEN
FOR BOND ELECTION, MARCH 20
Announcement Opening Of Registration Lists Made This Morning By City Clerk and
Treasurer W. WeaVer-Ee One Who Wishes Vote Must Register

Formal announcement is made to-
s.v bv City Clerk and Treasurer Har-
W Weaver of the opening OF the
L,.o;stra-ion books for the coming
hord election, which is to occur March
% In accordance with the provis-
4o,o Of the recent ordinance passed by
counciI the books age to remain open
until March IS, five days prior to the
election itself.
special emphasis is placed upon the
fact.that the mere paying of city taxes
docs not automatically register one
for q bond election of this kind. 1t is
necessary for one to appear in person
or TO send a written request in order
to have his name properly registered
upon the lists that will be used in the
coming election.
Some may enormously suppose that
because they have paid their city taxes
they have automatically registered
their names for the coming bond cleo
ton. but this is not true. The spirit
of the ordinance governing such cleo
ton is that the greatest precaution be
used in registering only those who are
entitled to register and who volunta-
rily make an effort to have their
names included on the registration list.
For this reason it is necessary that
one register in person or send writ
ten request.
As the registration for the last mu>
nicipal election was a record breaker
more than zoo names having been in
cluded in the list of qualified voters,
it is thought that the registration list
for the coming election will be equal
ly as large, if not larger The ques-
tons involved in the present election
are fully as vital and decisive, proba-
bly, more so, than those which were
aroused by the election held last Oc-
tober. -
For this reason the election will be
hotly contested at the polls, while
much work will be done in the time
intervening between the day of the OPP
ening of the registration books and the
holding of the election. 1t is very
important for each side to get every
name possible on the registration lists
so that every endeavor will be made
to enroll the name of every available
voter.
The matter of registration is proba-
bly, more important in the matter OF
a bond election than in the average
election because it is necessary for q
tWo-thirds majority of the votes cast
TO be voted in favor of bonds in order
TO carry the election for bonds 1T
VIII be seen from this that a persist
eht and vigorous campaign will be
"aged prior to the election in order
TO get the largest number of voters
registered.

This Atlanta Preacher ScOrne "New

Atlanta, Feb. 19.-That hell and the
devil do most certainly exist, and that
wicked people will find it out surely
enough after death, was declared by
DR.. Dunbar Ogden, in striking ser
mon last night at the Central Presby'
terian church.
DR.. Ogden paid his respects to the
advanced thought and modern doubt
which has made the devil mytholog-
ical person and hell frame of mind
He declared that it was no difference
whether the place of eternal punish
ment was formed of actual flames anC
red-hot Goals or whether it was a tor.
ment of the spirit only--the certain
fact remained, he declared, that 1t was
place of torment.
