a STRANGE SCRAMBLE.
President McSweeney then announced
that it was in order to elect two mem
bers of the State board Of control, one
for FIVE year term and one to FIJI the
unexpired term of Mr.. NJ. r. Cooper.
1t was decided to ballot for these
terms separately.
For the fve-year term, Mr.. J. B.
Douthit, the present incun bent. was
nominated by Senator Sullivan of An
dersoH. This seconded by Representa-,
tive Zimmerman.
Mr.. T. C. Robinson Of Pickens was
nominated by Mr.. Laban Mauldin, sec
onded by Senator Dean.
These were the onl " nominations.
The greatest interest was manifested
while the vote ,5as being polled. There
was lobbying going on even at this
time, and unless member enunciated
distinctly. it was difficult to distinguish
the name of the candidate for whom he
voted. Those who kept tally sheets
wore satisfied that Douthit was elected
when the last vote has polled. There
was considerable surprise when the
president announced that Robinson had
been elected. having received 16 votes
and Douthit 20.
Prince demanded that. as there was
dissatisfaction as to the correctness Of
that vote. the joint assembly be polled
to see if the votes had been recorded
properly.
Graydon made point Of order that
the vote had been declared and that
the election could not be re-opened.
Senator Sheppard said that such a
condition had confronted the joint as
sembly often before, and the natural
course was to poll the vote
President McSweeney ruled that as
there had been difference IN the vote
as recorded by the tellers for the senate
and the tellers for the house that no
election had been held.
This made the vote open for changes.
Sawyer changed FROM Robinson to
Douthit. Stu,kic from Douthit to Rob
inson. Montgomery from Robinson to
Douthit. DeBruhl from Douthit to
Robinson. Whisonant from Douthit
to Robinson. Peurifoy from Robinson
