Information on Registration.
Raleigh, Oct. 10.-Attorney
General has given an
opinion on registration. He says
that the new registration is
required for the coming election.
All persons registered in the last
election can vote without
again. Once on the per-
roll, they are always on
it. He says further that there is
no reason why any county can-
not order a new registration if
its board of election so desires,
but does not think the latter can
eliminate names on the
registration roll because
the persons do not re-register.
However, minors coming of
age must register. This the
last election in which those who
cannot read and write can
under the grand-father clause
as the Constitution of this limits
the time to December 31st next.

gave it to us, making Greenville
the starting and returning point
of this train instead of Wilson.
This convenient schedule gave
our people an opportunity of go-
to Raleigh in the morning,
spending six hours there and re-
turning home at o'clock in the
evening.
The people of our neighboring
town, Washington, have since
sent in a petition, in which
Greenville concurred, to also
give that town the benefit of this
train, and the railroad officials
have decided to extend tho run
there, leaving Washington in
the morning and returning there
in the evening. This leaves
Greenville with just as good a

guilty of such misrepresentation

a people who know the depths to

stooped in the past. It is the

practice and hard training has
learned how to stoop lower.
No thinking man will be mis-

being used in this campaign by
the Republicans. It is a party

When he referred to education-
matters he said that there was
no county that gave better illus-
of this subject than Pitt,
for this county had made such
progress educationally that it
stood at or near the head of the
list in the State. He said Pitt
had the best county
dent in North Carolina, and that
our school buildings and
advantages were as good
as any. He complimented the
community spirit prevailing in
Greenville and Pitt county and
referred to securing the Eastern
Training school as a result of
our people working together.
Mr. Small's speech was an
excellent one and he showed
plainly why every voter should
support the Democratic ticket on
the 3rd of November.
Several of the Democratic
county candidates occupied seats
on the stage, but none of them
made speeches, all of the time
being given to Mr. Small.
