The chairman, Mr.. Brice, having been
chosen at the late county convention,
the work Of organization was completed
by the election of DR.. ]. H. Saye as Sec
retary and treasurer, position the doc
tor has filled for a number Of years
past.
| The question of assessing candidates
was discussed at considerable length.
It was proposed that candidates for
state offices be assessed; but Mr.. w. I.
Jackson suggested that 1t would be bet
ter to respect the wishes Of the state
executive committee on this point and
the balance Of the committee agreed
with him. Inasmuch, however, as the
names Of candidates for congress have
to be printed on tickets furnished by
the county committee, it was thought
proper that these candidates be assess
ed to help pay expenses along with the
candidates for county offices. The as
sessment Of candidates was delegated
to committee consisting Of DR.. ]. H.
Saye, P. M. Burris and ]. J. Hull, and
after due consideration this committee
decided upon the justice Of fixing as
sessments as nearly as practicable on
| the basis Of 81 on each 500 Of the sal
ary of the office to which the candidate
aspired. It having been decided that
magistrates must be voted for the same
as other candidates. the committee was
Instructed to provide assessments for
magisterial candidates also. The report
of the committee on assessments was as
follows:
Congressman, SIS; representatives, 81;
auditor, s14; treasurer, $13; superintend-
ent Of education, 81; supervisor, 81;
county commissioner, 81; probate judge.
s12 (four year term); magistrates in
Broad River, Bullock's Creek, Bethesda
and Bethel, 81 each; in Kings Noun
| tain and Ebenezer, $1.25 each; In Fort
Mill, $1.50; in Catawba, 1925; in York,
SO. Under the rule these assessments
are required to be paid on or before
noon Of the day preceding the first cam
paign meeting. This day, however, be-
ing Sunday, the committee passed res
olution fixing Monday, August IL at
noon, as the final limit for the payment
Of assessments.
After much discussion Of the matter
Of the county campaign, 1t was decided
