republicans of the sixth district and
ali nature seemed to be in accord with
them as no better, cooler pleasnater day
for convention work was ever seen in
an August month and the delegates
to the congressional convention seemed
to enjoy the balmy weather with an
indolent ease and good humor that
lent pleasing sense of relief to the
disinterested locker on. As early as
9 o'clock they were astir after fash.
ion and caucusing as to the best
method of disposing of the weighty
matters before them. At 10 a. m. q
meeting was held at the court house,
which was strictly private and when
it adjourned it was admitted all the
real work was virtually done and
General Odin Guitar of Columbia,
would be nominated for congress by
acclimation.

chairman. The motion prevailed
unanimously and Mr.. Upton came
forward and briefly thanking the con.

tie work not TO speak
but after the work was done it would
be in order for every delegate to make
