EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL
MEET ON NEXT SATURDAY

The state Democratic executive commits
tee meets in Atlanta next Saturday
March 18th. There is great interest In the
outcome of the meeting, as the COMMITTEES
viii determine the date Of the primary and
the rules which will govern 1t.
All the candidates Tor governor are ex-
pected here on that day, as the time for
the primary is a paramount issue just
now. Estill and Terrell want an early
primary while Query is holding out for
one in August. The general opinion seems
to be, however, that the committee win
order the primary for some time in May
or June. Chairman duBignon Is in favor
of an early primary, and it is understood
that he represents the views of a major
ity of the committee. Many Of the coun-
ties in the state are anxious for an early
primary in order to have the thing over
with. They claim that it is not their de-.
sire to have the campaign drawn out untii
next August.
1t is reported today that the prohfbi-
tionists win appear before the COMMITTEES
and request that on the state ticket the
following shall appear: For Prohibition"
and Again Prohibition" This it Is said
will settle the prohibition question. Such
an appeal was made several years ago
but was turned down by the COMMITTEES on
the ground that the state convention had
declared for local option. and the COM
mittee had no autho ity to allow such
questions to go on tne tickets for thu
primary.
The members of the committee who viii
be in Atlanta on the day fixed for the
meeting are:

uel J. H. Heery, of Tattnall.

Passengers who came through on 1t told
stories OF old time frontier privations.
They were on the first east bound over

caught in Stanley. S. D., a station which
consists of a side track and cattle yards.
From Thursday night until Monday
morning the passengers were hardly able
to leave the train A blizzard ranged ana
no food was to be had except the limited
quantity on the dining car. Sunday the
coal in the day coaches gave out. >wo
brakemen took empty mail pouches and
going forward over the drifts filled them
from the tender OF me engine. They re-
turned with a supply of fuel after hard
fight against the storm in which both
were badly frost bitten. Monday the snow
plows reached the train and 1t was sent
to Williston, where local accommodations
were available and food plenty.
Incoming passengers reported snow
drifts at Stanley t...rty-five feet high. In
other places the big rotary plows left
veritable snow tunnels where the worse
of the drifts had been. Great trouble
was experienced in clearing the tracks
because of the sand gathered up from the
level plains by the wind and mixed with
the snow. This dulled the knives of the
rotary plows making constant repairs nee
essary Sleet was intermixed with the
snow and when the storm subsidized the
drifts were covered with a thick coat of
ice which made it possible to walk on
them, but greatly retarded the work of
clearing them away. .sej F.,
