MASTER by PRIMARY.
The chairman stated that tho meet
Ing had been called for the purpose O
deciding as to what method would be
adopted rs to elccting Magistrates ant
Master, as the recent State Convention
had so changed The constitution Of tn,
party, leaving it TO the Executive Com
mittec Of each county 10 decide :his cues
tion for itself, and that he had calico
the meeting at this earty date in ordc,
that should the prima"y plan be decided
on, the candidates would have time tt
themselves.
MIR. j. Fred Schumpcrt was no
familiar with the duties OF tho Office O
Master and wanted it explained so h,
could vote intclligcntly on the question
when it came UP.
Il. w. Jones, Esq stated in u few re
marks what the duties Of D1aster were
showing that the Office came under th,
judicial branch Of government.
j. B. Fellers moved that the Mastc
be elected by the primary plan, and th,
motion received q second.
X. Il. G. Hunter did not think it wis,
10 throw this Office into the primary
lie thought all judicial Offices shoult
be removed rs far as possible from
politics, and the sooner this was don,
the better it would be for everybody. ii,
knew it would be relief to the repre-
to take it out of their hands
but he did not think it wise, to do SO
He felt 1T his duty to oppose it.
D. a. Kinard was Of the opinion tha
to q considerable extent politics in
hucnced the appointments, and he pre-
fcrrcd to have them elected by the Deo
pie.
j. w. ID. johnson stated that tn,
whole thing was wrong, as tho count,
which created this com
mittcc had acted on and almost unani
voted down. this same question
However, If the committee was dc
tormined to settle it again, he felt ant
knew that it would be u mistake, a.
judicial Offices should be kept out O
politics as much rs possible. Then, i
the idea was to put everything into tn,
primary, why not elect your dispcnsar,
boards, your dispensers, dispensers
clerks, and go the whole business. Tn,
Idea of requiring candidates to 90 int
q race for an Office which paws onl
about 5000. Why, the campaign itsel
will cost candidate $50 or $75. Tn
idea Is altogether wrong, and I shall
vote against it.
l.. W. Jones could see no neccssit
for the change rs we had always unde
the present plan had good men In tn
Office OF Master. We havo splendi
one In that office now--,hen why chang
