inmate his existence. He was in his

he was member. Just as he
was nearing the western approach,

coming over the bridge towards him be-
came unmanagable, owing to the break

full speed down the steep decline.
Seeing the danger he was in the Doctor
endeavored to turn to one side, but his
horse, which was badly frightened, re-
fused to move, and as last resort to
save himself he sprang from his buggy,
but instead of jumping to one side as he
aimed to do he fell on the
front of the pole of the wagon as il

The County Democratic Executive Com
mittee.

mittee.
Pursuant to the call of G. C. Cole,
Chairman of the County Democratic
Executive committee, members met
at the courthouse yesterday at 2 D. m.
for the purpose of discussing the legality
and propriety of calling meeting in the
precincts of blackberry, Trinity Mills
and Spring Chapel, which failed to hold
primary meetings last Saturday, on the
grounds that they had not seen the call
of the Chairman in the public prints or
heard of it until too late to take action
in the matter. Mr.. Cole, the
Chairman, presided. The members of
the committee present are John Henry
Brown, j. IL. Cochran, ID. A. Williams,
w. II. Strange, A. p. Summers, j. ID.
Browder, proxy from Seagoyille; j. NJ.
Knox, N. Thorpe, proxy from Duck
Creek, and G.. G. Cole, Chairman of the
committee. There was considerable
discussion as to whether the committee
had right to call or authorize an cleo
ton of delegates in the precincts that
failed TO hold, and as the committee was,
including the Chairman, equally
divided, and it waXed warm for awhile.
Major John Henry Brown offered the
following resolution:
WHEREAS, 1t has been made known
to this committee, that, from not receiv-
ing the notice in time, the Democrats of
blackberry, Spring Chapel and Trinity
Mills, failed to meet on the l9th instant,
and have called meetings to assemble
Tomorrow for the purpose of appointing
delegates to the County convention,
Resolved, That in view of the facts,
and in order to secure full convention
from the entire county, the action in
the three places named, is hereby re-
ferred tothe favorable consolidation OF
the County convention.
Mr.. J. NJ. Knox offered tho following
rs a substitute:
Resolved, That in view of the fact that
the Democrats of blackberry, Trinity
Mills and Spring Chapel failed TO hold
their primary meetings on the time
mentioned in the call, on account of not
receiving the call, we, the committee
authorize them to still hold their meet
ings and elect their delegates.
Resolved, further, That said delegates
shall be entitled to the same privileges
as those elected under the first call.
The vote for the substitute was for
3 against. Hon. John IL. Cochran sale
the Chairman had the right TO vote
which it did, killing the substitute. TIL,
original resolutions of Major Brown
was then put and carried. There is con
siderable feeling in the matter, especially
on the part of the members from Tn,
country who favored the substitute ant
were defeated. The general impression
on the outside is that the precincts re
ferred to, and which have primaries
to-day will have to fight their wa,
into Che convention If they get there a
all, for ii is the intention of those dele
gates regularly elected, as far as can b.
ascertained, 10 fight against their bein.
admitted.
