The registration books are now
open and it is very important that
your name should be on the book
before you can vote On the 8th of
November. This is by far the
most important election held since
the amendment was carried. Mari
ion Butler is making the fight of his
lte against the white goverment of
North Caroline and if he should be
successful why we may just as well
look out for boodle and bonds. Let
every white man do his duty on el
ection day and Butler's plans will be
defeated.
There will only two tickets be
fore the voters of Halifax county
for county offices at the election to
be held on Tuesday, November the
8th, and these will be the Democratic
and Republican tickets. The Demo
cratic was noiiiinated by a primary
of the people on the 18th of August.
Every man that voted in that prim
ary is in honor bound to support the
nominees of that primary and we be
lieve they are going to do so almost
to atnan. The ticket is a very strong
one and deserves our support. The
Republicans have a full county ticket
and are at work quietly trying to
increase their former vote and there
by strengthening and helping Butler
and his crowd. Shall we let them
do so? No. Then let every self-re
specting white man get busy and
get out a full vote for the Derm
cratic ticket on election dav. Don't
wait for the other fellow but get
busy and do your full duty.for your
county and state.
