ARE YOU QUALIFIED
TO VOTE THIS YEAR ?
SOME OF THE FEATURES OF THE
NEW REGISTRATION LAW En-
planned BY COLLECTOR.
Have you registered?

Have you registered?
Well, that is the question that is
I going to be asked you many times
during the present year, not only by
! candidates, but Thy their friends and
others, and under the new registra-
/ tion laws of Georgia maybe you will
not know how to intelligently re-
spond to the question.
Of course you remember that new
registration law, known as the "Once
registered always registered law,
went into effect last year, but that
law does not mean that all you had to
do was to visit the office of Tax Col
lector Russell in 1914 and register,
and that you could vote forever after
wards. No, indeed, that isn't the new
law.
1t meant, however, that if you reg
istered in 1914 and paid your state
and county taxes regularly that you
were always entitled to a vote in
state and county elections, but not
that you could register in that year
and then continue to vote in each
election.
Some people evidently seem to be
confused in the reference to the new
law, therefore a little statement from
the tax collector will be of interest.
Here is what he said to a News rep
resentative:
The new Georgia registration law
is simply this: You do not have to
register each year as heretofore, but
you do have to pay your state and
county taxes. If you were qualified
voted in 1914 and have paid all of
your taxes since then why, of course,
you can vote in all elections this year
without further qualifying, but, on
the other hand, if you paid your taxes
in 1914 but failed to register you
are not entitled to vote, and it will
be necessary for you to register this
year. The law is very plain on the
subject and the voters generally
should understand it,
In view of the fact that every off
ciaI from coroner to president is to
be elected this year the registration
should be unusually large.~~ Every
person who is entitled to a vote
should qualify but unless all taxes
are.paid before April Is you will not
be entitled to cast ballot in any OF
the election this year.

And the summer girl did not have it
all her own way by a good deal, the many
attractive natrons in their lovely gowns
were second to none, for there is gen.
erai consensus of opinion that never be-
fore. perhaps. has there been a larger
circle of pretty women than Washington
has had to its credit this season.
Mrs. Wilson looked lovely In an all-white
costume OF chiffon, with hat of white
maine with heron aigrettes, and won
many additional friends by the cordially
of her greeting.
The additional charm that seemed to
invest her from her recent taking part
in the wedding of her young friend Miss
Gordon. now Mrs. Grayson, also had its
attraction.
as to whether the President and Mrs
Wilson would actually be able TO attend
the wedding in New York, which seemed
but one more of the many ronances as
sociated with the White House in the
last few years, gave an added flip to the
interest felt in the appearance of Mrs
Wilson. who, in fact, though not in name
perhaps, acted as ma iron of honor for
1.-The bride.
She did not accompany the bride up the
aisle, but she took her place by her side
and held her bouquet, also lifting her veil
when the ceremony was over, and by her
presence added an interest that made the
wedding of DR. Grayson and Miss Gordon
an event of wide attraction.
The President has so far attended but
two weddings outside his own family

MIR. Roosevelt, frequently used to mingle

IN THIS CITY
Miss Gassette, Noted Artist and Phi
lathropist, in Paris, France,
Niece of The Late John T.. Clark

The metropolitan newspapers of
late have contained a number of ref
erences to Miss Grace Gassette,
daughter of a Chicago pioneer, who
went to Paris, France about 25 years
ago, and became noted artist. A
number of her paintings hang in the
great art gallery in Paris. One of
these pictures Ia a painting of her
grandmother. whose maiden name
was Clark; the latter was a sister of
the late John P. Ciary of Mexico and
a number OF years ago visited here
several times. This relation would
make John w. Beatty, Mrs. Marine
Craig and George clark here second
cousins OF Miss Gassette.
What we want TO say in passing is
that when the war broke out in Eur
ope Mits Gassette save up her art
work and other enterprises and join
an organization OF American women
who established a hospital for the
treatment of the wounded in the
battles. For the last two years she
has worked with the American am
bulance at Neuilly.
She was the first American woman
to be presented to Gen. Jofre at his
headquarters. Learning that Miss
Gassette was in the military zone
introducing a new surgical bandage,
the French commander in chief invi-
ted her to pay him visit.
Gen. Joffre told Miss Gassette he
was especially glad ito take this op.
portunity of expressing gratitude fol-
the personal services u American
women" in the war, and made COM
plimentary reference to the Amer.
ican ambulance work generally.
