| No election of officers was
held, as that is not done until
the counties select new members
of the committee.
On motion of Colonel Neal,
Secretary Tompkins was au-
thorized to furnish each county
with 100 copies of the rules and
Constitution of the party.
:. Colonel Mixson introduced
the following resolution, which
was laid on the table:
'tResolution, That all candi-
dates for United States Senate,
Congress and State officers be
required to file with the Secre-
tary of his committee written
pledges to abide the result of the
August primaries, the pledge to
he filed not later than the 18th
of June, 1894, and that no can
didate be allowed to enter the
race for any office after that
date"
The following resolution, in.
troduced by Mr.. Mellette, caus-
ed much laughter:
"lnasmuch as we feel that the
executive committee of the
Democratic party in South Caro-.
lima we are not only the active
force in formulating and carry
ing out the plans and principles
of our party, but are charged
with the duty of preserving
perfect adherence to the party,
be it
"Resolved, That we feel it our
duty to instruct each county
chairman to have the following
question asked directly through
the press and at every campaign
meeting, to all candidates for
State and national offices:
| "Wlll you support and do you
endorse the principles of the par
} ty as enunciated in the platform
of the Democratic party adopted
at Chicago at the last national
convention Of that party?'
On motion of Colonel Neal,
the resolution was tabled.
, The member from Darlington
f caused some merriment by sug-
gesting that the resolution be
referred to President Cleveland
, for his approval.

a week later her husband had dissp.
psared, leaving no clue to his where
abouts.
His wife never saw him again, and ia
| 1873 she began proceedings for a di.
vorca She supposed that the decree
had been granted but such was not the
case. She thought her first husband
dead, AMI eventually married Hart
Sylvester, of this place, and the couple
lived happily ever since, raising family
OF children.

some time ago learned that she had
never been granted a divorce, and that
her first husband was still alive, and
was located in Boston, Mass Snyder
finally came here on visit and learned
Of his wife's second marriage.
Recently Mrs Sylvester renewed her
proceedings for divorce, and George M

ished the amount Of money necessary
