The Democratic Committee
of Anderson county has agreed upon and
announced novel plan for nominating a
candidate for Sheriff. The order provides
that as many men as there are candIdats,
each precinct TO have a separate force shall
be appointed by the County Committee to
60 around and take the vote. Each candi-
date may suggest the name of friend in
each precinct, but the committee may re-
ject any Objectionable person. The men so
elected are to carry ballot box and book,
in which to record the names of all persons
voting. 1t is also required that after the
voter has written the name of his choice on
the ballot, the clerk shall write the voters
name on the back of the ballot. This last
provision is for the purpose of enabling the
committee to throw out any illegal votes.
One week is allowed for taking the vote,
and the boxes are to be opened and the votes
counted by the County Committee on the
third Monday in March.

tell where A mig ceases 10 be A mig and be.
