Sub Asst Comm'r District of Alabama Sir (Extracts) * * * * * I have heard some threatened rumors of intended violence towards Geo. W. Cox, the Colored Register for this County, but have not yet been able to find out the names of the parties. If I do I certainly shall take measures to have them prosecuted. The business of Registration has been going on in this County for eight days; perfectly orderly and quiet so far. Nearly all of both colors are registering. Two of the Registers for Pickens County have gone over, and will commence on Monday July 1st. * * * * * I beg leave to suggest that the better way to send books or papers to Registers, or others, is by mail, for the reason that we have no Express Office nearer than fifty (50) miles of tis place.
