allow each delegate to select his
alternate, subject to the con-
firmation of the other members

ecutive committee.
J. G.. Wilborn and w. r. Brad

for member of the State execu-

was by secret ballot and resulted
in a vote of 73 for the former
and % for the latter. Mr.. Will
born has been the York member
of the executive committee for
the last two years.
The new county executive
committee was elected and is as

The last business that was
brought up for the consideration
of the convention was the propo-
sition of the retiring county
executive committee to allow the
members OF the new committee
pes diem and mileage for attend
ance upon future meetings and
to prorate any funds left in the
treasury at the close of the APP
preaching campaign among the
members of the retiring com
mittee. The proposition was
discussed by a number of dele
gates. w. B. Wilson, ST.,
thought that a bad precedent
would be established by allowing
the executive committeeman pay
for their services and that the
best thing to do was to table the
motion. This view of the matter
was adopted, and the convention
adjourned.
The executive committee ther
met and discussed plans for the
1910 campaign.

to the polls to decide with their
ballots the great issue which for
three years has been agitating Ameri-
Gus.
Municipal ownership or otherwise,
is the slogan
The issue is clearIE defined, ana
while all of the candidates profess
not to be committed thereto, tie voter
understands the situation, and will
vote accordingly.
Theer are two tickets in the fell
for mayor and aldermen, the one head
ed by Mr. j. E. Mathis, for mayor,
with Messrs. C. ]. Clark, j. E. Poole
and c. C. Hawkins for aldermen, and

The other ticket in the field is
headed by the present mayor, John
B. Fielder, for reelection, with
Messrs. G. w. Riley. l.. G. Council
and Clarence White for aldermen.

The polls will be opened tLds morn

o'clock p. m. There are 706 regis
tered voters, and it is fair to aseume
that at least Gao of these VIII vote
in the election today So great is the
interest in the result that not a voter
will be overlooked.
There will be workers at the polls
for both tickets, and if a voter does
not get an automobile ride tie fault
will be his alone. The ready car
will be there.

DANVILLE. AS PATTERN

The base ball fever is epidemic in
Berwick, AMI what augurs best for
the national sport in that town this
summer is the fact that the most in
f1uential men III the town have the
malady worst.
Several weeks ago Berwick formed
an athletic association to promote
base ball during the coming summer
and after looking around for good
plan to use as basis of operations
decided that Danville had just about
as good working organization as was
in sight. Accordingly on Sunday a
committee composed of John n. Har-
ry. president; DR.. Edward Davis and
Ralph Laubach, came to this city and
had an interview with Manager Sim
on K. Hoffman. who gave them all the
good advice at his command.
1t is the intention in Berwick to
form stock company and buy plot
of ground which will be turned into a
permanent base ball field. The organ
ization will likely be made permanent
by incorporation under the laws of
the State, as hassbeen done here. For
the remainder of their program-next
SUNNI II will tell.
