REGISTER.

great deal of misunderstanding seems to
exist as to the difficulties imposed upon the per
Torrance of the duty of qualifying for the ballot
The average citizen who has never qualified
under the provisions OF the constitution of 1902
rests under the impression that these difficulties
are almost unsurmountabe. whereas they are
comparatively few and easy, Of overcoming. 1t
may be true that forms to be gone through are
too numerous. but the task is not sufficiently
onerous to deter those who wish to do their
duties as citizens. 1t Is undoubtedly true that
but it Is not true that it is particularly diff
cult
Those who have paid their poll taxes for three
years have only to go to the polling place of their
precincts on May goth and register and the work
is done. A trip to the commissioner of revenue
for assessment, a stroll across the hall to the
treasurer's office to pay taxes or upstairs in the
City hall to the Hastings court to pay back
taxes and trip to the registrars home at
any time or to the polling place on an appointed
day is all that is required of any one. After.
wards one trip year to the treasurer's office,
the payment Of the poll tax and the acceptance
ef a receipt Is the sum total of the work to be
done. OF course on certain occasions mistakes
may be made and man who has qualified is left
off the books or sometimes he may be challenged
and be compelled to produce, his tax receipts,
hut these are the exceptions. Ordinarily 1t is
most simple matter. The average man who
registered Immediately after the PRONUNCIATION
OF the constitution, or as soon thereafter as he
became of age does not remember the process
Of qualifying so simple matter was 1t. Those
who have difficulties those who neglected
the matter and have to pay back taxes Even
these should have no great difficulty and II they
think SO they have but to do things to discover
their mistake. e.
Just now all tina. can be done is to register
Those who have not paid their taxes are barred
from participation in this years election Those
who have should lose no time in seeing the
registrar and getting their names on the books.
They can do so today by calling at the home
OF the registrar they wait until May Goth
and call at the precinct polling place. Several
thousand paid their taxes few days before the
tpe limit expires and others paid earlier. Many
Iot these not registered. To qualify to vote
they must do SO and no time is better than
now.

areas Richmond should certainly be able to pro-
vide water and fire protection and streets for
ten square miles When members of the council
intimate that II can not they confess to de-
linquency that is inexcusable for the city can.
II II has not done so something is wrong some
where
Talk OF inadequate fire protection and the lack
of water facilities within the present area Of
Richmond is no valid argument against annexa-
ton; 1t is confession Of poor administration Of
the citys affairs the part Of those in authority.
If the statements be true, the proper course to
pursue is to give the city what 1t lacks Time
and thought should be expended in that drec.
tion rather than in finding means OF opposing
annexation of further territory.
To say that our fire department is lacking in
equipment is no blow to annexation; 1t is an
argument for increasing the equipment and for
increasing 1t sufficiently to enable us to annex
Everything name.
To say that the water supply is not large
enough for supplying further territory Is merely
to say that the water supply should be increased.
To say that funds not available for the
necessary improvements in the territory propos-
ed to be annexed is to say that more funds
SHOULD be secured or that those already in hand
should be expended to better purpose.
Opponents of annexation may talk until dooms-
day without being able to convince the 10000
people Of Richmond that they are SO poor in
money and barren in ability to be unable
to provide for ten square miles Of territory when
they know that an equal number Of people in
other cities provide for that much and more.
What Atlanta or Birmingham or Memphis or
Nashville can do Richmond can do. We have not
heard that these cites are VIGOROUSLY lacking
IL fire protector. We have not heard that their
water supply is inadequate. We have not heard
that their streets more badly paved than
those of other cities.
Is Richmond. then, the only city in the South
in such financial straits as to be unable to pro-
vide for proper amount OF territory?
Is Richmond the only city in the South which
must be congested beyond all reason that 1t may
keep within It's income?
Some of the money that Is asked for open
ing and grading streets for real estate companies
and suburban promoters might be used to effec
in supplying water and fire protection to Rich
mond and annexed territory-when annexed.

MAGGIE WAITS UNTIL GEOR
GIANA FIEES FROM YARD
BEFORE SHOOTING HER.

Fearing that her victim might
come back and liant" her If she
killed her in the front yard of her
old negress, waited until Georgiana
Percy, colored. forty-two years old,
fled through the gate. and then sho
her down in the street
The full load of a single barreled
twelve-bore shotgun entered the Percy
woman's face, and while her wounds
are considered dangerous, il was re-
ported at the City home last night that
she probably would recover. Her as
sailant was arrested by Policemen
Dunn and Whitiock, as she. accord
ing to her own statement. was going
to the Second police station to sur
render herself.
The shooting was done in front of
1404 West Moore street. where the
Blunt woman lives with her husband,
to whom she was married four months
ago. He is Charles Blunt, who for
more than a quarter of a century has
beenl a grave digger at Hollywood

Percy woman though her man" was
paying to the younger negress. During
GSs
ing to the Blunt woman's statement at
the Second station, the elder negress
brandished razor, and later threw
a brick at her. The brick struck a
finger and raised a large lump. 1t
was then that the shotgun. which had
been brought from an upstairs room.
was brought into play.
II wanted to kill her, but didn't
want her to die in my own yard" said
the shooter. II was afraid she might
come back and hant me. She said
she would kill me or have me killed
for fooling with her man, and
thought she meant 1t. I didn't even
speak to her man last night when she
came running up to my house and
started to fuss. He stopped and spoke
to me, but l treated him with silent
contempt. ] don't know how took
