SOUTH CAROLINA AND HEB LAWS.
Mr.. McComas asserted that the provision
that INSPECTORS might be taken from any

ouired the inspectors TO belong TO the
same precinct OF which they were inspect
ors.

visors not belonged to even the same
county, but had been taken from one con-
gressionai district TO serve IN another at
