LECTED THIS AFTERNOON.

OmcIaI List of the Twelve Who Win
gems Club Committee Experiencing
Some Drawbacks in Making Their
SeIections-The Two Executive
Committees to Hold Meetings This
AfternOOn-AII Arrangements to be
Made for the Primary.
There viii probably be meetings of both
Of the executive committees of the county
at the court house this afternoon at 6
! O'Clock. Certainly there will be a meet
ing of the Citizens Club executive com
mittee, which has been called by Chair
man duBignon for the purpose OF receiv.
ing the report of the subcommittee ap.
pointed to make all arrangements in con.
nection with the primary on Monday.
Mr.. J. S. Collins, chairman of the sub
committee appointed by Chairman duBIg-
non, said yesterday that he would be
ready to make report to the executive
committee this afternoon, but until that
time he refused to give out any definite
informaio as to what his committee had
done. He stated that the twelve members
of the new executive committee to repre-,
sent the Citizens Club faction had not all
been decided on, but that an agreement
would be reached by to-day.
1t Is learned in some quarters that there
mas been dispute with regard to Ger
tain members of this portion of the execu-
tive committee, and that those interested
have found trouble in reaching an agree
ment. There are certain men who want
to be on the committee and whose friends
want them on the committee but
there are other who do not
want them there; hence the difficulty.
How the matter win be settled may
be learned to-day. The Citl-
zens Club committee Is afraid. it
is said, that it viii get hold of some luke.
warm or semi-indifferent member, and
those interested are trying to get a com
mittee about the loyalty of which there
will not be the least doubt.
Hon. f. G. duBignon, chairman of the
committee, was in Atlanta yesterday,
but will be here for the purpose of
presiding at the meeting Mr. duBignon
VIII not serve on the new committee. He
mas already stated that he could not wen
do so, being chairman of the state Demo-
cratic executive committee
1t is likely also that there will be a
meeting of the Liberal Club executive
committee for the purpose likewise of
making final arrangements for the pri-
mary, though 1t Is understood this is not
absolutely necessary, the subcommittee
having been given full power under the
resolution appointing 1t. This sub-com-
mittee has had the Liberal Club members
OF the new executive committee selected
for some time. Mr.. John Power is chair
man of this committee, and represents the
Liberal Club executive committee in its
dealings with the other committee.
The following is an authentic list of the
gentlemen who will represent the Liberal
Cub on the new executive committee:
John W. Smith, John Power and VIM. NJ.
Gibbons, from the First militia district;
Justice Warning Russell. Jr and Henry
f. Teynac from the Second; A. S. Guck-
enheimer, w. P. LaRoche A. L. Well and
b. S. Wells from the Third, and DR.. VIII
liam Duncan, J. F. Sullivan and E. c.
Gleason from the Fourth. The desire of
the subcommittee was to make the rep
resentation as general as possible, and
this has been done to good advantage
The tickets for the primary will proba-
bly, be printed tomorrow, as all arrange
ments will have been made by that time
The selection of managers has been a
rather difficult matter, as no provision
has been made to remunerate them for
their services. Some arrangement to that
end may be made, however. The voting
will all be done at the court house. where
there will be six boxes, one for each of the
city districts and two for the four country
districts.
