REGISTRATION
BOOKS OPEN
ALL INTERESTED MAY NOW
QUALIFY FOR GEN.
ERAL ELECTION

Registration books for Monroe
county were opened this morning
by Supervisor Of Registration Jo.
seph Roberts at his office in the
county court house. Mr.. Roberts
announces that the books viii be
open during business hours on
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday
Of each week until October 8.
This registration is for the gem
eral election next November.
Any citizens who failed to qualify
for the primary may now register
for the general election, and those
who are already on the books be-
fore the past primary but failed
to pay their poll taxes, may now
attend to their taxes and be quail
fled to vote in the general elec-
tion.
All voters who qualify to vote
in this registration, must register
again vote in the next primary,
Mr.. Roberts says, since he voting
list in the general election cannot
be carried to the next primary.
Supervisor Roberts stated this
morning that he most of voters
expected to qualify in this regis
tration are colored citizens. In
time past, Mr.. Roberts says, as
many as 400 oolored voters have
qualified here for the general elec.
ton, but he does not expect that
many this time because quite a
number have moved away.
Should any independent can
didates announce for county of.
flee, 1t would probably accelerate
registration somewhat between
now and October 81" Supervisor
ROBBERS stated.

1t is true that Mr.. John H. de Ia Mo-
for upwards of 30 years pressman of

to state that We regret to part with b;
services and that the severance of rel;
tons is entirely due to the oss Of revf
nue. derived mainly from the printir
OF the work OF the Colonial Cour
which this paper has done for all l.
. years it has existed. Some time {
bids for this work were requested
we are without information a.
whether any bid has been awarded, g
the pay we used to receive has been c
off.
The Tribune in referring to this ina
ter in its issue of Saturday last states
that after the death of Mr.. John T. Qui1
the plant ~(meaning the types and fix
lures with which the paper was printed
we supposed passed into the hands of
Mr.. d. Hamilton jackson. Later a news
paper was launched by Mr.. G. Johansen
which also bore the name of the St.

it is we'll to correct publicly. The fact
is that when Mr.. Quin died the Govern

When the printing outfit was eventual
