Pooler, Isle of Hope and the Fort
Argyle Road the Places for the
Country District MeetinEs-The Dis
tricts Defned-People Living South

City Districts.
Hon. Walter G. Charlton has issued his
call as chairman of the democratic execu-
tive committee for the mass meetings in
the districts TO select the new committee.
The meetings are to be held in the open
air, and the hour viii be o'clock Find
ing it impossible to satisfy the politicians
as to time and place, Mr.. Charlton fol
lowed his own Judgment in the matter
and called the meetings in the manner by
which he believes the fullest expression
of the will of the party can be obtained.
The mass meetings in the city will be
held in Ebert square, Chatham square,
the parade ground and in Troup square.
The chairmans call is as follows:
BY virtue of the authority given me by reso-
luton OF the Democratic party Of Chatham
county in mass meeting assem- bled, I hereby
summon the members Of that party to meet
in their respective militia districts in mass
meetings, on Tuesday, June 10, 1894, at 7
o'clock in the evening at the points herein
after named, for the purpose OF electing an
executive committee of the party for the en-
suing term. The First, Second, Third and
Fourth districts will elect five members each
OF said committee; the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth two members each, and all of
said districts will vote for i've members OF
large.
The several mass meetings will convene at
the following points;
First District-That portion Of Ebert
square, and adjacent territory, which lies
west of the median line Of Montgomery
street.
Second District-That portion OF Chatham
square, and adjacent territory, which lies
west of the median line of Barnard street.
Third Decentralization half OF the parade
ground, known as the Park extension.
Fourth Distrlct-Troup Square
Fifth Distriet-The pavilion at the Isle Of
Hope.

cry.

WALTER G. CHARLTON,
Chairman OF the Democratic Party of
Chatham county.
THE DISTRICT LINES.
Gilbert square, at which place the meet
ing Of the first district will be held, is in
tersected by Montgomery and McDonough
streets AS only half the square is in the
First district the meeting is ordered on
the west side of Montgomery street.
For similar reason the meeting in the
Second district at Chatham square is
ordered on the west side of the square.
Chatham square is at the intersection of
Barnard and Wayne streets. The
Third district will have all the
room it needs, the northern half
of the parade ground being allotted to 1T.
The meeting will probably be held at the
confederate monument. This is about the
exact center Of the Third district. In the
Fourth district the chairman had in
tended calling the meeting in Whitfield
square, but being informed that there
are several patients very i'll at st. Joseph's
Inhrmary, which fronts the square, he de-
c1ded upon Troup square instead. Troup
square is at the intersection Of Haber-
sham and Macon streets
TO PREVENT REPEATING.
In selecting the districts the chairman
endeavOred to locate the meeting as near
the center of the districts as possible and
at the same time to put the meetings as
far apart as possible in order to prevent
the flocking of voters from one meeting to
another. Many of the partisans will IN
doubleday attempt to vote at more than
one meeting. but as all the meetings will
be called at the same time, aud il is not
likely that any OF them will occupy
more than fifteen minutes, repeating
will be somewhat difficult The chair
man will not provide stands in the
squares for the convenience of the meet
ings. If any of the aspiring chairmen of
the several meetings choose to bring along
dry goods boxes to stand upon their fore
thought will be gppreciated-by their
successful opponents doubtless. Mayor
McDonough has said that the ordinance
against trespassing on the grass plats
will be null so far as the meetings Tues.
day night are concerned, so nobody need
have any fears on that score.
BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICTS.
The boundaries of the city districts are
as follows The First district includes
every everything from the western
boundary of the city in the middle of
Montgomery street, from the river to the
southern boundary of the city. The
Second, everything from the middle of
Montgomery street to the middle of Bar
nard street to bhe southern limits. The
Third district from the middle of Barnard
street to the middle of Abercorn
street, and the Fourth from the
middle of Abercorn street east TO the city
limits. BY the Incorporate ton Of the dis
trict south of Anderson street the people
living in that section are now in the city
districts, according to the boundaries
named. 1t will be remembered that Justice
McCloud King was compelled to remove
his Office south Of Twelfth street after
the Incorporate limits were extended.
WILL ELECT THEIR OWN CHAIRMAN.
1t was reported to Mr. Charlton yester-
DAY that certain members of the execu
tive committee had proclaimed their IN
tention TO claim the right Of presiding
over the mass meetings in their districts
on the ground that this was their prerog
atiyeas members O. the committee Mr.
Charlton at once ruled that such was not
the case, and that it was the prerogative
Of each meeting TO select its own chair
man and TO conduct its transactions with
out any dictation from any member of the
executive committee or anyone else. The
absurdity Of the claim is very evident
when it is remembered that there ar,
five members of the committee for each
city district, besides five members a.
large.
