Mr.. Fred H. Dominick Chosen County

% Executive Committeeman.

M 6XeCuClVe committeeman.
u Very little other than routine bust
ness. was transacted by the democrat
,ic onvention of Newberry county, at
its meeting in the court house yester-
day morning. Hon. c. T. Wyche, of
prosperity, was chosen president of
Sthe convention, and Mr.. John X.
.Aull, Of Newberry, secretary. Hon.
Erred. H. Dominick was chosen coun-
8ty chairman to succeed Mr.. S. s.
cunningham, who has served the par
ty faithfully during the past two
wears, and who was not can1.datc
for reelection. State Senator Cole.
SL. Blease was elected a member Of the
astate executive committee. The fol-
9l0wing gentlemen were chosen dele
Sgates to the state democratic conven-
zion Messrs. Cole. L. Blease, Il. II.
SAull, j. A. Sigh, G. II. Wyche, w. H.
SSH4unt, Fred. Fl. Dominick, Geo. B.
SGromer, Geo. w. Summer.
In addition to this practically the
Only other business done by the con-
sgention was the passing of resou-
fion introduced by State Senator
sBlease requesting that only desira-
sble' class Of immigrants be brought to
SNewbeTy county, and motion by
Or. George Cromer that it was the
Sense of the convention that hereafter
sall votes im county conventions, inclu-'
ding elections, be by individuals, and
not by clubs. The convention, as indi-
soated by the speeches on the resolu-
Zion, was emphatically in favor Of i'm
and was as emphatically
s5h favor of only a desirable class of
Immigrants. The vote in the conven-
Stion yesterday was by clubs, and not
Sby individual members, DR.. Cromer's
motion being passed after the cleo
Mons in the convention yesterday. The
sInotion, of course, will not be binding
Mpon future conventions, but it ex-
the Judgment of Yesterdays
and the convention put
sitself on record as not having estab-
slished precedent in the matter.
& The convention was harmonious
Throughout. In fact, there was as lit
Me friction as has been seen in a
sgSeounty convention in Newberry for
many years past. There was really
glittle before the convention other than
Spurely routine business, and it was
SSttaken up and finished in business
slike manner. The convention was in
Session just two hours, being called to
Order at II ID and adjouming at Id.
IAN The weather was bad yesterday and
there was not large attendance of
ssdele9ates from the'various clubs.
