COUNTY DEMOCRATIC
EXECUTIVE Committee
MEETS AND DECLARES RESULT OF FIRST
PRIMARY-OTHER IMPORTANT
MATTERS COME UP.

The county executive COM
mittee met Thursday at II o.
clock to tabulate the votes of
the first imary and declare
the result. Before proceeding
to canvass tn aturnS several
other matters en- aged the at
tention of the committee. The
returns from Earls came in
without the box containing the
ballots. The committee after
referring to the rules decided
to accept the returns, which
came sealed in an envelope.
Trio, Oak Ridge and Earls
cast a sort of side vote on the
question of establishing a dis
pensary at Harper. The COM
mittee decided that it was with
out authority to pass on the
matter and it was referred to
the county dispensary board.
1t was then brought to tho
committees attention that two
candidates, viz, Messrs S J Sin
gletary and W A Fitch had fail
ed to file their expense accounts
until Tuesday during the cleo
ton, when the statutes provide
that these accounts shall be FL
ed before the election. Antici-
pating that this matter would
come up, as Mr. Singletary was
thought to be in the second
race, Chairman Williams had
written Gen Willie Jones, chair
man of the State committee, who
replied that under the statutes
votes could not be counted for
any candidate who failed to file
| this account before the election.
That part of the act referred to
bearing on the matter reads as
follows:
l. the undersigned, of the
county of--and State of
South Carolina, hereby pledge
that | will not give nor spend
money, or use Intoxicating
liquors of any kind for the pur'
pose of obtaining or influencing
votes, and that | shall. at the
conclusion of the campaign and
before the primary elections,
render to the clerk OF court, un-
der oath, an itemized statement
of all money spent or provided
by me during the campaign for
campaign purposes up to that
time, and l further pledge that
| will, Immediately after the
primary election or elections
that am a candidate in, render
an itemized statement, under
oath, showing all further mon
eys spent or promised by me IN
said election Provided, that a
failure to comply with this pro-
vision shall render such cleo
ton null and void, so far as the
candidate who fails to file the
statement herein required, etc.
This matter provoked consid,
erable discussion and finally on
a motion to allow the votes for
Mr. Singletary to be counted an
aye and no vote was demanded,
which resulted as follows: ayes
-; noes 8, by which Mr. Single
tary is admitted to the second
primary, the official tabulation
showing that he received next
highest vote to Mr. j J Graham
who led the ticket for road en>
gineer. A motion to count Mr.
Fitch's votes also prevailed,

Winter life The members whose duty it is
to carry off the refuse and useless matter
from the body, do not perform their work as
well in cold weather, because they do not
receive as much stimulation from bodily ex-
ercise. So this impure, fermenting matter
is left to sour and form humors and acids,
which are soon absorbed into the blood
With the return of warmer weather the
blood is aroused from its sluggish, congested
condition, and begins to throw off these i'm
purities, and its fiery, acrid nature irritates
