The County Democratic Executive
! Committee met in the Courtho use last
Saturday and was in session for four
! hours.
The agreement to divide the man.
ayers equally was by. formal resolution
rescind.
The Herald and News believes that
we will have fair and honest election
so far as Newberry County is con-
cerned, it matters not whether the
managers are for Tillman or Sheppard,
but we have no objection to giving
each side equal representation.
1t was a pretty full meeting of the
committee, only three, we believe, be-
ing absent t-Messrs Reid, Werts and
Halfacre.
On motion of Mr.. Hunt, the privil-
eges of the floor were granted to Mr..
Arthur Kibler.
Mr.. Kibler thanked the committee
for the privilege granted him. He said
! that prohibition was one of the great
issues of this campaign and he felt that
the question should be discussed before
the people. 1t seems that all the can
didates are willing to act under the IT,
Instructions as contained in the result of
| the vote at the primary. We would
like to have the question discussed and
ask the privilege of having one
SPEAKER FOR PROHIBITION
at each campaign meeting, who will
lay before the people this great ques-
ton.
F. V. Capers: agree with Mr.. Kib-
Ter. The question is an Important one.
The issue has been joined so far as the
box for voting is concerned. 1 don't
know any thing that is doing more
harm than the liquor traffic. You may
| talk about your reforms but this is the
one most needed. Most all our woes
can be traced to liquor, and therefore
move that this reasonable request be
granted and the prohibition speech be
the firsJ.one made.
J.C. S. Brown: 1t is bringing in new
matter. We should look at this ques-
ton. Should the speaker come first or
! last? If there is time, alright, just so
it don't interfere with the other speak
ers.
MIR. Hunt thought we had better
postponed it until further on in the pro-
ceeGirgs when we come to-decide who
is to spea2;.
The Chairman asked if this question
could not be intelligently passed upon
without further delay.
Mr.. Capcrs was not in favor Of post
poning and thought the request should
be granted it matters not how many
others are to speak. The motion was
then adopted.
RULES FOR THE PRIMARY.
Chairman Btease had vacated the
chair and said that they had better
adopt the rules to govern the primary,
and ne moved to reconsider the action
by which the committee adopted the
old rules, which was adopted. He then
moved that the rules as adopted by the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee July 26 be adopted. They were
then read and adopted. He also offered
the following which were adopted
without change:

MARY ELECTION OF NEW

Mr.. Hunt objected to Rule 8. He was
opposed to taxing candidates to defEay
the expenses of the canvass. He
thought the burden on them was great
enough already, and if the expense were
apportioned among the clubs it would
not be more than five cents per capita.
He was opposed to the principle.
Mr.. Blease did not agree with Colo
mel Hunt. He thought it was cheaper
for the candidates. Heretofore the can
didates had to pay for their own tick
cts, and under the present arrangement
the tickets are furnished by the execu-
tive committee.
Mr.. Hunt moved to strike out Rule 8,
but the motion did not prevail.
Mr.. Gary then moved that the COM
mittee proceed to the appointment Of
managers.
