This Jan. 29, 1893. Commissioner's Sale. I 'nder and by virtue of a decree of the Superior Court of Mecklenburg County, N' rt Carolina, in Special Proceedings titled, k4A. J.

Den, Plaintiff against W. C. Hastings, Defendant," I will sell imhlin anption. at the Countv Court In pursuance of an act of the General Assembly of North Caroli na entitled "An Act to3 Revise, Amend and Consolidate the Election Laws of North Couolina," ratified the 8 th day of March, 1 895, it becomes my duty, as clerk of ihe Superior Court, to establish in Mecklenburg County separate places of election, so as to provide, as near as may.be, at least, one separate place of voting for every three hundred and fifty voters, jly understanding of the law is, that there must be a voting precinct established iu all the incorporated towns or villages in the county separate and distinct from the township in which such towns or villages are situated. With that understanding of the law, with the advice of counsel, I have oro-ceeded to establish voting precincts in each of the incorporated towns or villages in the county, separate from the respective townships in which they are situated, as follows: CHARLOTTE TOWNSHIP.

In canvassing the registered vote of the city of Charlotte I find it very difficult to accurately divide the -different wards-on a basis of 350 vcters to each voting precinct, but, in the exercise of my best judgment, I have endeavored to make the division as nearly as possible on that basis. The registration in some of the precincts may exceed the maximum 350, while in others it will probably be less. I have established twleve voting precincts in Charlotte township, eight in the corporate limits of the city of Charlotte and four outside of the city's corporate limits. These twelve precincts I have equally di vided between the four wards of the city of Charlotte, and they are numbered Precincts Nos. 1, 2 and 3 of Wards Nos.

1. 2, 3 and 4 respectively Precincts Nos. 1 and 2 of each Ward being within the City's corporate limits and Precinct No. 3 of each ward being outside of the City's corporate limits in Charlotte township. Ward 1.

The division line in Ward 1 is a line ex idingfrom the center of the intersection of Eighth and Try-on streets, along Eighth street to the Eastern limits of the City; and all electors or qualified voters whose place of residence or abode is South of Eighth street in said ward, and within the City limits, will register and vote at the City Hall, whicn will be known as Precinct No. 1 of Ward and all electors or qualified voters whose place of residence or abode is North of Eighth street in said Ward 1, and within the City limits, will register and vote at Boyte's store, No. 414, corner Ninth aud Caldvvell streets, which will be known as Precinct No. 2 of Ward and all electors or qualified voters whose place of residence or abode is outside of the City limits and within the boundary line of Charlotte township between the roads known as "The Salisbury Road" and "The Providence Road," formerly embraced in Vfard 1, in all previous elec tions, will register and vote at Craighead School House, which will be known as Precinct No. 3 of Ward 1.

Ward 2. The division line in Ward 2, is a line extending from the center of the intersection of First and Tryon streets, along First street to the Eastern limits of the City; aud all electors or qualified voters whose place of residence or abode is North of First street in said Ward 2, and within the City limits, will register and vote at the City Hall, or Market House, which will be known as Precinct No. 1 of Ward and all electors or qualified voters whose place of residence or abode is South of First street in said Ward, and within the City limits, will register and vote at J. B. Youngs store, No.

801 South Brevard street, which will be known as Precinct No. 2 of Ward and all electors or qualified voters whose place of residence or abode is outside of the City limits aud within the boundary line of Charlotte township between the roads known as "The Providence Road" and "The Camden Road," formerly embraced in Ward 2, in all preceding elections, will register and vote at the pavilion at Latta Park, which will be known as 3 of Ward 2. WARD 3. The division line in Ward 3 is a line extending from the center of the intersection of Trade and Mint Streets, along Mint street to the southern limits or the oity; and all electors or qualified vot rs whose place of residence or abode is East of Mint street in said Ward 3, and within the City.limits, will register and vote at Thomas Gara-baldi's store, No. 31 West Fourth street, which will be known as Precinct No.

1 of Ward and all electors or qualified voters whose place of residence or abode is West of Mint street in said Ward 3, and within the City limits, will register and vote at W. B. Kidd's store, No. 318 South Mint Street, which will be known as Precinct No. 2 of Ward 3.

and all electors or qualified voters nr. I I i- i. i store, which will-be known as precinct No. 2 of Paw Creek township. In all the remaining townships inr Mecklenburg county where no changes are made the registration and voting will be continued at the usual polling place and a new registration will not be required, unless the old registration book has been losfj misplaced or mutilated.

In all townships where changes have been made and new prtcincts established, a new registration must be made. New books for that purpose will be furnished by the Secretary of and also a copy of the election law, which can be had oh application at this office at the proper time. REGISTRARS AND JUDGES. There will be three registrars and f'ree judges of election at each voting precinct in the county, all whom are appointed by the Clerk of the Superior court, upon the written recommendation or approval of the chairman of the State Executive Committee of each political party of the State, each political party of the State being entitled to one registrar and one judge of election at each precinct in the cqunty. The attention of the various committees Is especially called to the importance of these appointments, and would respectfully suggestthat they be made promptly and in due time, in jorder that the sheriff may have ample time to serve notice on each of the appointees at least ten days before they enter upon the discharge of their respective duties.

This, if done in apt time, will avoid confusion. BOXES. New boxes, constructed as the law directs, will be furnished at each and every voting precinct in Mecklenburg county. These can be had on application at this office by the judges of election at the proper time. J.
