The Chairman explained that the special meet
ing was called on the petition of sundry voters
of Rock Hill, who desire an official and authori-
tative construction of rule 5, governing the pri-

as follows
5. All persons knoaU,e to be in full sympathy
with the Democratic party, who will be qualified
to vote at the ensuing general election, shall be
entitled to vote at the primary election. The
managers, or any bystander shall be entitled
to challenge any voter, and put any relevant
shall determine his right to vote, and
may accept or reject the vote thus offered.
The question was discussed at considerable
length some of the members present deeming it
inadvisable to make any construction upon the
rule, or to take any action, leaving the matter
with the discretion Of the managers of primary
elections, and the precinct chairmen of the va

Some two or three propositions were made but
not adopted, and after general discussion of
the question, vote was taken on the following
resolution offered by Mr.. Jones and seconded by
Mr.. Camp:
Resolved, That the question as to who shall
exercise the right to vote shall be left where the
County Convention has placed it, viz. with the
precinct managers of election.
This was rejected by vote of 8 to 6, as follows,
Yea-Messrs. Whitesides, Jones, Culp, Smith,
Hardin, Camp-6. Nay-Messrs. Hamilton, Rig
gins, McGill, Moore, Campbell, Chambers,
Adams, McCaw-S.
Mr.. McCaw then offered the following resolu-
tion-which was seconded by DR.. Campbell:
