 COUNTY COMMITTEE.

 Recognized.

j. B. Wood, candidate for a district office, was. through resolution, busted from the chairmanship of the Garland County Democratic Central Commit. tee yesterday afternoon in a meeting that was replete with enthusiasm, and in which the anti-Wood forces snow cd majority on every test vote. q The high tension between the rival factions that at one time threatened 4 a split within the party ranks was relieved through the selction of state Senator Hamp Williams to succeed J 10 the permanent chairmanship. and & at the close of the session the Democ- x iacy of the county was more united ! than at any time within the past three years.
 revived movement on the part of & the Wood forces to rescind the action of the committee one week before in granting additional representation to # the ely wards, was defeated, and Hot Springs will continue to have repre- sentation in the county organization s in keeping with her par. of the vote cast in various elections to follow. The selection of judges and clerks made by the specially authorized exc cutiye committee of the county or ganization was reported on by Judge A c. V. Teagec, who led the majority Forces, and was adopted with but one dissenting voice--that of a township Committeeman.

Horner # fl the fifty-six committeeman there were fifty-three present when the r .seting was called to order The rum fplings of a fight ahead had its effect in bringing to the floor almost every member, and when the gavel was sounded by Chairman Wood few were # present who would have predicted the 4 meeting could culmimate without a ' party split
 The first movement of the business procedure brought on the clash. There was vacancy in Mountain township. one committeeman having left the section he formerly repre- sented. The anti-Wood faction pro. posed Bill Bailey for the successor, and the Wood faciion nominated ]. K. Wall.
 On the votes taken Bailey had s2 votes and Wall 20. J. B Wood. while serving as chairman. voted for Wall He ruled that the twelve new city com mitteemen had no right of vote, end officially as chairman ruled that Bail ey and Wall were tied or the vote. regardless of the S2 to 20 vote the secretary had taken
 An appeal was taken to the com mittee from the ruling of Chairman Wood. and the chair was rebuked, and Bill Bailey seated as delegate to fill the vacancy in Mountain township
