ELECTION FRAUDS
CLARENDON.

Manning, Sept l5.-Recent devel-
opments promise to make things
lively with some Of the county
officers elect aud possibly change the
result of the election as declared by
the executive committee
In the second primary there were
two contestants for the sheriff's Office
j. Ebert Davis, the county auditor
and county chairman, and E B.
Gamble, deputy sheriff.
There was one club known as the
"White" club, which is reported as
giving Davis nearly all the votes
cast thereby electing him over Gam
BILE by very small majority. When
the county executive committee met
TO canvass the returns Mr. Gamble
appeared before it and charged that
gross irregularities bad been prsc-
ticed at this club by allowing persons
to vote whose names were not on the
club roll, and asked that special
committee from the executive CON-
mittee be appointed to compare the
club roll aud the poll list
The executive committee declined
appoint the special committee, but
allowed Mr. Gamble to go over the
poll list and the club roll in company
With Mr.. Davis, the county chairman
and his contestant 4 few members
of the executive committee were in
favor of having the special commit
tee appointed, aud we're also in favor
CT going into the box and counting
The votes, but this was voted down
jdr Gamble insisted on comparing
the two lists, however, AID it was
+! discoverd that there was no club roll
| at all, and it appears that anybody
was allowed to vote. whether their
names were on the club roll or not
1t is also charged that in the
Farmers Platform Club, at Manning,
numerous persons were allowed to
vote whose names were not on the
roll. 1t is also talked freely that one
or two persons voted in this club
who had voted elsewhere, and that in
one club in the western part of the
county four negroes were allowed to
vote.
These last two charges are only
rumors. and whether or not there is
anything in them will be brought
out, as it is understood Mr. Gamble
will press the matter for full
investigation Should the white"
box be thrown out it will probably
affect the resalt of the election for
both the sheriff and auditors Offices
Msssrs j. F. Rhame Of Manning
and R O. Purdy of Sumter have
