Total Registration Lacks Two of Vote Two Years Ago.

The total registration in Jasper county was much better than expected some time ago, it lacking but two of coming up to the total vote of two years ago. Of course not all those who registered will get out to vote, from one cause or another, but all things considered, the registration is very satisfactory. The republicans lose perhaps 75 per cent of the non-registered votes, so far as can be ascertained, there being more interest manifested in the coming election among democrats than among republicans, and many of the latter would not take the trouble to register.
