counties, cities and towns of the State during the years
nineteen hundred and two and nineteen hundred and three at such
times and in such manner as may be prescribed by an ordinance of
this Convention. At such registrations every male citizen of the
United States having the qualifications of age and residence
required in Section Eighteen shall be entitled to register, if
he be:

"First. A person who, prior to the adoption of this
Constitution, served in time of war in the army or navy of the
United States, of the Confederate States, or of any State of the
United States or of the Confederate States; or

"Second. A son of any such person; or

"Third. A person, who owns property, upon which, for the year
next preceding that in which he offers to register, state taxes
aggregating at least one dollar, have been paid; or

"Fourth. A person able to read any section of this Constitution,
submitted to him by the officers of registration and to give a
reasonable explanation of the same; or, if unable to read such
section, able to understand and give a reasonable explanation
thereof when read to him by the officers.

"A roll containing the names of all persons thus registered,
sworn to and certified by the officers of registration, shall be
filed, for record and preservation, in the clerk's office of the
circuit court of the county, or the clerk's office of the
corporation court of the city, as the case may be. Persons thus
enrolled shall not be required to register again, unless they
shall have ceased to be residents of the State, or become
disqualified by section Twenty-three. Any person denied
registration under this section shall have the right of appeal
to the circuit court of his county, or the corporation court of
his city, or to the judge thereof in vacation."
