EDS. CLARION: / write in conformity
with promise to keep you posted w.Jh
regard to our political movements ia
Washington county.
Living 50 remotely from any posioGi,e.
| greatly fear my communications viii
be stale, ere they reach the eyes Of the
many readers of your most excellent Jour
nal.
Our Democratic County Convention
met at Greenville on yesterday, and
elected the members Of our County Exec.
utive Committee. The Chairman of that
Committee, Capt. w. G. Yergar, is a
gentleman well known throughout the
state as an accomplished gentleman and
lawyer, and in addition to his many &c
complishments, is a man of sterling
worth and integrity he fully compre-
- sa.L- -.4--.:-.. aud nass~- -
energy necessary to insure success IN an
undertaking, when work is to be done.
The members of that Committee, ten
in number, were elected by the delegates
from their respective Supervisors Dis
tricts. They are gentlemen whom we all
know they have often been tried, and our
citizens are glad of the opportunity OF
| trying them again; they are Thoroughly
identified with our home interests, and
will not leave single honorable measure
unadopRd, that can possibly revert to the
interestg of the people.
In addition to the great excitement
brought about on account of our Demo
cratic Convention, Tiden and Hen
bricks flag was raised, which created tht
widest enthusiasm imaginable. Many
salutes were fired, and each salute SCENE,
to kindle the fires of enthusiasm anew
and awake memories of the past never (,
be forgotten.
