The hot fight which has been on for son,e
weeks past between Messrs c. c. Maeru
der and Chas. H. Stanley for the iudre.
ship was quietly fixed up before the con-
vention met as the Stanley men were
largely in the minority and consequently
gave Magruder a unanimous support This
fight has been looked upon by the promi-
nent republican leaders With a good deal
OF interest, IN view of possible split, in
winch case 1t might result in the nomina-
ton OF u dark horse" who would be more
easily beaten.
With equal interest are the democrats
looking at the fight between the Lowndes
men and the Mudd men at SATURDAYS pri-
mary meetings. 1t has been publicly
stated by Gov. Lowndes' lieutenants that
II he Is defeated in the convention he will
declare vacant number of positions in
the state tobacco warehouse, which are
now filled by persons from this county
and Who are said to be Mudd's representa-
uves and are working hard against the
governor. Much Indignation is felt by the
Mudd men over the removals of James
Naylor and Frank Duvall from their posi-
uonS as inspectors Of tobacco at Nos 8 and
= state warehouses.
