The following offered by Mr.. Magill
was adopted:
"a convention Of the Democratic
party Of the State Of South Carolina
is hereby called to meet in the city OF
Columbia at y O'Clock noon on May
IS, 1909, for the purpose Of electing
delegates to the national Democratic
convention, and to transact such other
business as the convention may see
proper.
1.-The county chairmen throughout
the State are hereby instructed to call
together their executive committees
and order meeting Of the clubs 10 their
respective counties on Saturday, April
%, for the purpose Of electing dele
gates to the county convention to be
held on Monday, May End, 1904, for
the purpose Of electing delegates to
the State convention. Each county
is entitled to twice the number OF
delegates in this convention as it has
members Of the legislature.
The resolution also carried a para
graph providing for primary in the
Second congressional district on Tues
day, the 10Th of April. But as this
is special and not a general primary
it was thought fair to all Of the caDdi-
dates for the voting to be done on
Saturday as that day Of the week is
more satisfactory to the people in the
rural districts. Accordingly a reSolu-
tion was adopted to appoint a COM
mittee of one member from each
county in the congressional district tc
frame resolutions more explicit II
their nature and fixing the primaries
for Saturdays instead Of Tuesdays
The members Of the subcommittee
were: NJ. B. McSweeney Of Hampton
Dr.. W. C. Smith Of Barnwell, G. B
Free OF Bamberg, J. N. Pollatty oi
Aiken, L. J. Williams Of Elgefeld, E.
S. Blease Of Saluda, and Beaufort was
not represented.
After some consultation the follow
ing amendment to Mr.. Magill'S resolu
tion was prepared and the resolution
as amended was adopted by the exec
utive committee:
The committee, composed of mem
bers representing the counties in the
Second congressional &C district, respect
fully recommend that the first primary
for the nomination Of a congressman
to fill the vacany existing in the
Second congressional district be helc
on Saturday, April 23i. And a secone
primary, if the same be necessary, o.
held on Saturday, May 7Jh. That tat
executive committees Of the various
counties composing the Second con
gressional district meet at their re
spective court houses on the Tuesday
following the primaries to taoulat
the votes Of their county. That th
committee Of the State executive com
mittee shall meet on the Friday
following the primaries to tabulat
the vote and declare the results Of sait
primaries.
That the county chairmen OF th

hereby Instructed to assemble thei
