Club Meetings.

Club Meetings.
Last Saturday the Democratic clubs
throughout the county elected dele
gates to the convention which convenes
in Manning next Monday. The dele
gates so far reported are as follows:
Clarendon-W. c. Chandler, l. l
Bagnal, S. Il. Cole, J. D. Gerald and
W. G. King.
Manning-Dr. W. E. Brown, w. S.
Harvin, E. C. Horton, P. B. Mouzon,
O. W. NIcRoy, A. Levi: W. E. Brown,
executive committeeman.
Farmers Platform-E. B. Gamble, J.
A. Iowder, W. J. Rawlinson, Sr., ].
NJ. Windham, D. NJ. Bradham, NJ. G.
Galluchat, J. C. Barrett, J. S. Ridge
way, W. G. Davis, ". P. Gardner, j.
c. johnson and D. J. Bradham. At this
club the opposition to Mr.. Louis Ap-
pelt. the combination, made it an issue
to defeat him which they succeeded in
doing after the hardest fight they ever
had in their lives, and only then by
voting men who had never before voted
in this club. Some of them are en-
rolled on the Davis club and have al
ways voted there: others on the Pax
vile and never voted elsewhere. The
Farmers Platform never at club
meeting voted as many as 100 votes,
but on this occasion the tickets IN the
hat showed 17S. No poll list was kept
and if there was disposition to do so
there was nothing to prevent voter
from. throwing into the hat a handful
of tickets. We hope that no such an
oversight will occur again.
There were two tickets. What was
known as the "Appelt ticket" re-
ceive6 10, while the opposition re-
ceived 10S. Mr.. Appelt received IS
votes, which, under the circumstances,
was surprise to his opponents. When
i the result was announced Mr.. Appelt
moved it's confirmation for the sake of
harmony, and afterwards in a few re-
marks acknowledged that he had been
beaten, but not dismayed and would
still hold his membership in that club
and render his best service for the
Democratic party.
There is good deal of dissatisfaction
at the methods employed, but it was
the request of Mr.. Applet that his
| friends not make any fuss over the in
cident, that matters will adjust them
selves later, and he wants it understood
thar if any of his friends speak in words
of protest a. the methods resorted to on
last Saturday: it is against his wishes
and without his consent.
In the opening of the meeting all OF
the old officers were reelected by ac-
lamation, and at the close On motion of
Mr.. F. C. Thomas and seconded by Mr..
E. L. Wilkins, Capt. D. J. Bradham
was, without opposition, male county
executive committeeman.
