Ninety-pound Voter, Still in Knee Pants.
John Smith, of Recluse, Miss., still in knee pants and weighing a little less than ninety pounds, is the smallest voter in the South. John attained his majority a few days ago and hastened to the depot for a ticket to Gulfport, the county seat, to get out his registration papers and be qualified as a full-sized man voter.

When the conductor passed him in the train and shouted “Ticket, sonny!” John wanted to fight, but again he managed to control himself.
When he entered the court clerk’s office in Gulfport, he was asked:

“No, dog-gone it,” yelled John, “I want to register.”
