not already provided with registra-
ton certificates will have, it appears,
no further opportunity of qualifying
themselves to participate in the gen.
eral election of this year.
The law provides that registration
shall cease 80 days before a general
election.
The general election takes place
on the Tuesday after the first Mon
day" in November, which this year
is the Sd.
The several county boards of reg
istration ordinarily sit at the court
houses on the first Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday in each month, but
the first Monday in October of this
year will be the 5th, which is less
than the prescribed 80 days before
the general election.
The qualifications for suffrage are
set forth in Section 4, Article 2, Con-
stitution Of 1895, as follows:
The qualifications for suffrage
shall be as follows: Residence in the
State two years, in the county one
year, in the polling precinct in which
the elector offers to vote, four
months, and the payment six months
before any election of any poll tax
then due and payable: Provided,
That ministers in charge of an au-
thorized church and teachers of pub
lie schools shall be entitled to vote
