MEETING AT LEWISBURG

Chairman R. J. Lowe. of the state demo- cratic executive committee has receivel mo- tice of an appeal from the action of the democratic committee of Autauga county in ordering primary election for the nomina- tion of a candidate for representative and for the selection of delegates to the state convention, instead of calling convention in accordance with instructions from the last county convention.
 The county convention in 1898 instructed the executive committee to call a conven- ton this year for the purpose of making nominations and selecting delegates to the state convention The committee at a meet ing held some time ago adjourned with out either ordering a convention or pri- mary, for the reason that it stiood tie as between the two methods, the Morgan men voting for a convention in compliance with instructions from the last convention, and the Johnston men favoring primary election Failing to reach an agreement the committee adjourned to latter date. When 1t reassembled ". J. Zimmerman one of the committeeman, was represented by a proxy who voted with the Johnston men, thus giving them a majority of two, and a primary was accordingly ordered. The Morgan men protested but to no ef- feet.
 The matter will now be placed before the state committed who will be asked to direct the Autauga committee to comply Of thn fsnn ating it.
 MT. Zimmerman was recently appointed to position at the state convict farm at Speigners
