From the precincts heard from, and estimating for the
remainder, the Post-Dispatch figures that the total registration of women for
Richmond county is approximately 2,100.
Marks Creek precinct (Hamlet) has the largest
registration—598, with Rockingham next with 595. Wolf Pit No. 1 (Roberdel,
Hannah Pickett and Entwistle) is third with 229.
Not a single colored person was registered in the county.
…….
If all the 2,100 women vote, and as many men vote (1,867) as
did two years ago, then very near 4,000 votes will be cast. There are six boxes
in which to vote, and long tickets; therefore it is hardly likely that the vote
form all the precincts will be available Tuesday night. It will take much
longer to count so many votes. However, the Post-Dispatch
will do its utmost to tabulate the county vote Tuesday night, and announce the
results to those inquiring.
