LAW POINT RAISED
DATE FOR PRIMARY IN FOURTH
 WARD OF SELMA.
CommIttee Adjeurns Without Action to Look up the Statutes and Ob-

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Jan. 12.
 The City Democratic Executive Com mittee met today at 12 o'clock at the City Hall for the purpose of calling a primary to nominate a candidate to fill the vacancy in the City Council in the Fourth Ward caused by the resig- nation of Councilman R. D. Berry. A notice appears in the local papers signed by Mayor " B. Atkins and City Clerk B. F. Toler. calling for an cleo ton to be held Friday, February s, In the Fourth Ward, to fill the vacancy Before the election which has been called by the Mayor and the City Clerk there should be held a primary, it Is thought, and this was the purpose of the meeting of the City Executive Com mittee today.
 few minutes after the committee had been called to order by Chairman R. D. Walker Secretary Henry Franc lich offered a resolution providing for a primary Monday, February IF. This resolution was the cause of a discuss sion engaged in by several of those present. Committeeman Theo. Lacy, of the First Ward, offered motion that the meeting adjourn until 12 o'clock tomorrow when 1t could get the opin- ion of Chairman Mallory of the State Executive Committee as to the law in the matter.
 Before calling the meeting to order. Chairman Walker stated to the meet ing that he had had a conversation with Chairman Mallory of the State Ex- ecutive Committee and had asked him about the law governing primary cleo tions. MT. Mallory had told him, he said, that he thought the law required that the voters should be given thirty days notice before the election. Mir. Walker said that he was of the same opinion and expressed himself in words to that effect to the committee.
 This brought forth a question of the primary election law as understood by two newspaper men present and one or two of the committeeman. The newspaper men differed in their con- struction of the law. One claimed that the Fourth Ward was a subdivision of the city of Selma. which is Beat 36 of the county and is, therefore, governed by the primary election law. The other claimed that it was not, but no one present decided the question and the matter was left open.
 The resolution introduced by Seere- tary Franelich provided for the hold ing of primary election in the Fourth Ward February 12, to be participated in by the Democratic voters of that wari. Any white voter eligible to vote in the ward could take part in the

election. The third provision of the resolution was to the effect that the election should be held In conformity with the State primary election law.
 It was after the reading that the discussion as to the right of holding the primary after the date set for the general election came up. The embar- rassment was finally settled when Committeeman Lacy offered as sub- stitute a motion to adjourn the meet ing until tomorrow when time could be had to look into the law, and in the meantime to get the opinion of Chair man Mallory of the State Executive Committee. Mir. Lacy's motion received a second and the meeting then ad- journed until 12 o'clock tomorrow when the date of holding the primary in the Fourth Ward will be named by the Executive Committee.
 The primary election law requires that thirty days notice shall be given the voters. The meeting of the com mittee held tomorrow will only give the voters of the Fourth Ward a mo- tice of twenty-five days, if the primary is ordered for February 7th. The date for the general election as ordered by Mayor Atkins and City Clerk Toler will have to be changed if the committee al it's meeting tomorrow conforms with the primary law which is supposed to govern such elections.
 The last registration in the Fourth Ward show ed that there were only about thirty-five voters. This was the number of those registered when the present mayor was elected. But there was no opposition In that election, Sc not many of the voters took the trou- bfe to register. The number of voters in the Fourth Ward generally is in the neighborhood of 100.
 For Councilman in the ward there is so far but one announced candidate D. D. Updegraff In connection with the vacancy there is also prominently mentioned the names of l.. D. Mullen and R. R. Kornegay.
