Don’t Think Much of New Registration Law.

Mr. Editor: Will you please inform a humble voter of Jasper county who was the blooming idiot that framed and got through such a law that would require a farmer to drive 7 % miles to register when he has all he can do to keep the weeds from taking his crop? I have talked to several voters and we have come to the conclusion that it is some ding-busted ignoramus who siiould be mashing bot-tle-ended potato, bugs in place of making laws for a civilized' people, and each and everyone of us would like to apply our foot to the posterior part of him nine times or more. We believe that laws are necessary for the government of a people but think the line should be drawn at such blooming nonsense a® this. We would like to see the picture of the man that framed such, a law in The Democrat and we get real mad and can’t express ourselves in cuss words we will take a look at the picture and go take a vomit.—A SUBSCRIBER.
