Chairman Charlton Designates Where
the Meetings in the Militia Dis
tricts Are TO be Held-How the Com
rnittee Men at Large Are to be
Elected-The Plans for the District
Primaries Difficult to Arrange to the
Satisfaction of the Entire Party.
Chairman W. G. Charlton has issued bis
order for the mass meetings for the election
Of the members Of the democratic executive
committee in accordance with the resolu-
sion adopted at the recent mass meeting at
the theater
The mass meetings will be held at O'Clock
on the night OF Friday, June 8, as follows:
First district meeting at Hendy's hall.
Second district, at Turner's hall.
Third district, in the superior court room
at the court house.

room. at the barracks.

The First, Second, Third aud Fourth dis
trlcts will select five members Of the oom-
mittee each. and the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth, two each.
There are five committeeman at large to
be elected. To do this it will be necessary
TO obtain the exact vote at each meeting for
committeeman at large and add the vote Of
the districts together, and the Eve gentle
men receiving the highest number OF votes
from the whole county will be declared
elected. It will not be necessary to report
the exact vote to the chairman In the cleo
ton Of the district members of the commit
tee.
A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
Chairman Charlton has spent considerable
time ascertaining at what place in each
district it would be most suitable to hold
the meetings for that district. He was
hampered by the fact that there is no money
IN the treasury of the Democratic party Of
Chatham county with which to pay for the
hire of halls or any other expense and he
did not propose 20 incur the expense without
authority from the party. which it was
impossible TO secure under the circum-
stances, the chairman having been left with
out an executive committee by the action
of the recent mass meeting. The chairman
had about decided to call all the meetings
in the open air, leaving it to the meetings
TO repair to halls if they saw fit and were
willing to incur the expense. This was not
at all satisfactory to the majority of the
party consulted, however, anu efforts were
accordingly made TO secure places for the
meetings where they could be held at small
or no expense, with the result contained in
the chalrman's announcement.
While some of the locations may not be
entirely satisfactory to ali the people Of
the districts in which they are situated, 10
must be remembered that it was the best
that could be done under the circumstances.
A REPRESENTATIVE COMMITTEE WANTED.
Mr.. Charlton said last night that he is in
hopes sufficient interest will be taken in the
meetings by the democratio voters to secure
the election of representative
committee, not merely so in name,
but in fact, committee
that can be depended upon to look after the
best interests OF the party. and whose 40
tions will be regarded by it There Is dam
ger, he said, In case the committee chosen
should not be satisfactory TO the voters at
large that the elections held under their
direction will be disregarded and the ma
jority of the party give the strength to
other candidates.
He is especially DESTROYS that the commit
tee at large shall be composed of men of
prominence In the party.
