not much neWne5s IN the DOuy, all out
:. three being holdovers.
f There are but seven Democrats in the
4 Board, hence they did not require very
much time to caucus. It was different
with the Republicans, who have 10 MEM
bers. and who did not get through with
. their secret session until nearly noon.
, The cause of this detention was the con.
, test over the Office of Solicitor.
Having finally succeeded in getting all
measures satisfactorily adjusted, the Re-
pubIicans fled into the room. Judge
, Scott administered the oath to Messrs
Stackhouse, Dennis and Perkins, who
were reelected in March, and then Clerk
Antrim called the roll, finding all present.
Having seen that all were seated and
ready for business, the clerk asked for
nominations for Director. The Republic
cans named William p Younker, of Lum-
berton; the Democrats nominated Francis
d. Perkins, of Beverly. A strict party
vote was cast, Mr.. Younker receiving 10;
Mr.. Perkins, z.
Messrs. Evans and Haines escorted the
newly-elected presiding officer to the
chair, where he returned his thanks and
promised to do his duty.
|, The next business was the election of
a county collector. The present incum-
bent, Joseph Powell, was reelected with
out opposition. His salary was fixed at
s., 900 per year.
Wilbur F. Shinn was reelected keeper
OF the court house, the Democrats max
ing no nomination.
There was contest over almshouse
i physician. The Republicans named DIR.
John W. Webb, the Democrats nominat-
ing DR.. Enoch Hollingshead. The former
was elected-15 to TO-
The Democrats did not make any NOM
ination for prison physician, and DIR.
Richard H. Parsons was elected.
Then the contest for solicitor, which
had been going on in caucus, was renewed
in the board. Charles K. Chambers was
nominated by the Republicans, Jerome
B. Grigp by the Democrats. Mr.. Cham
hers received IA votes. Mr.. Grigg IL. The
announcement of the ballot on this office
caused some wonderment among the out
siders. 1t was evident that somebody
had jumped the caucus.
Henry C. Lippincott, Bradford W.
Storey and Benjamin d. Haines were ap-
pointed the finance committee. They
Immediately retired to inquire into the
state of the treasury, and soon returned
-
and offered a resolution that the collector
be authorized to borrow money IN anticl-
patton of taxes at a rate OF interest not
exceeding FIVE per cent. 1t was 80 Or
dered.
They then offered a resolution that
S203, 900 be raised for county purposes,
and $4,000 for stone roads-$2S8,OOO IN
all, and that was so done.
