committee in 1883 met to appoint
'anagers they lIiade it q point to see to
1t tiiat every man who was appointed
was against ne. In my country the
intiS we're appointed
Mr.. Smith, who was a member Of the
old committee, undertook to interrupt
2Ir. Sigh to say that he Sigh had
suggested managers. but Mr.. Sigh
was talking about the general election
i seems and not the primary.
>ir. Sigh, continuing, I'VE want to
DE fair and we intend to be fair. We
will be particular to get good men, and
there is not a man that deplores this
thing more than do. The Edgeield
meeting was disgrace. I don't say
here who is responsible for it,
Mr. Hunt: 81 will say just here that
the executive committee had absc-
lutely nothing to do with appointing
managers of election for the general
election. That WAS the business of the
! commissioners Of elertion.n
Mr.. Sigh: Il will then excuse the
executive committee but not the COM
| .nissioners Of elcction. IT the commit
! tee to-day were to refuse this request
| | would not excuse them. But all
these things will come up on the
! stump"
Mr.. Caldwell then offered the fol-
lowing resolution which was adopted:
"Resolved, lst. That the Executive
Committee of the Democratic party Of
Newberry County hereby adopt the
suggestion of the Democratic candi-
dates for Governor, that there be an
equal division of the several boards of
managers for the primary election be-
tween supporters of the respective can
didates, and hereby decide to carry
| that arrangement into effect.
"Resolved, End. That the said COM
mittce take recess until 9Th day Of Au-
gust at which time the appointment
of managers for the primary election
will be made in conformity with the
| said suggestion and the foregoing reso-
luton"
Mr.. Capers then moved that one of
the managers or the clerk shall be in
favor of prohibition and it was adopted.
The rules adopted by the State ex-
ecutive committee were then read and
adopted as the rules to govern the
election in this county. The Herald
and News has already published these
rules but will publish them again next
week.
The question of club rolls and men,
bership in clubs being necessary to
vote, were discussed but no definite ac-
ton taken. 1t seems to be the opinion
that membership in clubs should not
be required es an essential to voting,
and Mr.. Sigh offered a resolution to
that effect but withdrew it, to await
action by the State committee.
1t was adopted as the sense Of the
committee that under the Constitution
Trial Justices are to be elected and at the
next meeting arrangements are to be
made as to judicial districts, &c. Mr..
Caldwell voted against this as he op-
poses the election of Trial Justices.
Mr.. Sigh rendered bis resignation as
chairman, which was accepted, and
offered the name Of Mr.. q. A. Mills as
the member from bis club. The club
had not acted but he felt sure it would
elect Mr.. Mills.
Mr.. Hunt nominated Capt. H. H.
Folk as chairman.
Mr.. Bedenbaugh nominated MIR. H.
H. Blease.
Mr.. Folk asked to withdraw his
name and Mr.. Blease was elected.
On motion the committee then took
a recess to August 6.

They Waited on Him.

1t has been reported that Hon. John
w. Scott was gong to be candidate
for the House, though he WIS not the
choice of the caucus.
Soou Monday committee, consisting
of Dr.. S. Pope, DR.. w. L. Lake, 2. H..
koon and J \. Riser, waited upon MI.
Scot and inquired if the report was
true. Mr.. Scott assured them that he
thought he would run. They then
warned him against such a rash step
and told him he did not have the ell
dorsement of the people and would
surely be beaten. They were his friends
and did not want to SEE him sacrifice
himself.
BY whom this committee w:s APP
pointed we know not. We have no
comment TO make; we only state the
fact. We had thought, however, that
this was free country and every man
was at liberty to exercise his own plea
ure III such matters.
Mr.. Scott announces himself rs d
candidate this week.

The total assessed value Of per
sonal property the present year is
SS7, ,430 less than last year. That
apparently looks like there has been
decrecTe in the assessment over
last year. But in last years as.
sessment was included the unlawful
assessment of the National Bank

raised $50, coo. Then the land loan
associations were assessed last year at
$50, 100, which is not on the books this

ded this year the total assessment IN
No. would have been S9OS,S25, and
with the land loan associations the
total for tle county would be 81 ,623, $40,
