IRWIN COUNTY CITIZENS
~ REPUDIATE SCHEME TO
=. ....a CHANGE REGISTRATION

i good and wholesome law, and is the
means of preserving white supremacy in
our state, and safeguarding the honesty
and the purity of our ballot box, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we the white citizens
and voters of Irwin county in mass meet
ing assembled, request and demand that
our representative the Hon. j. A. j.
Henderson, stand for maintaining said
law as it is, and that he use. his best
efforts to prevent the repeal of same,
should it be attempted. ...
Whereas, The Democratic executive
committee of Irwin county has ordered
that the voting at the coming county prl-
mary which is ordered to be held on the
18th of June next, be done under the
Australian ballot system, and,
Whereas, We believe that said system
goes far to remove fraud from the ba!-
lot box and will rebound to the good OF
our county, therefore be 1t
d. Resolved, That we, the white citizens
and voters of said county assembled in
mass meeting. hereby heartily indorse
the action of said committee in ordering
said primary election held uIder this sys-
tenn, and hereby pledge our support IN
helping to carry out said. system.
Mr. Henderson, before the adjournment
Of the mass meeting gave notice that
those who favored the election of a new
committee would remain and would pro-
coed to elect a new committee. This
was done, and a number, estimated at
from 80 to so, remained and elected new
committee. The proceedings of this
meeting will be published elsewhere In
this issue.
1t is the purpose OF this second meet
ing, we understand, to carry their claims
before the state executive committee al

of the claims of the two mass meetings
will be watched with great deal Of IL

fFrom the CECILIA star.l

In accordance with a call issued last
week for a mass meeting of the Demo.
cratic voters of the county, by noon
Monday, a very large crowd from all sec
tions of the county assembled to trans
act the business that might come be-
fore the body. The courthouse was fun.
there being hardly vacant seat left on
the whole lower floor. The crowd was
estimated at from 500 TO 600. D., .-'
The mass. meeting was organized ~
electing Col. Philip Newber chairman,
and j. j.. Flanders, secretary. Hon. j. A..
J. Henderson stated the object of the
nesting. to be the election of a new
county executive committee, explaining
that the present committee had been for
some time holding over, and that it was
time for a new committee to be elected
by the people. After the organization had
ben perfected, a motion was made by
Mr.. Henderson to proceed to the election
of new committee.
In the discussion that followed, Mr..
L. r. Tucker led the opposition in a
speech that lasted for perhaps an hour
or more. He took the position that no
action was necessary, as the old COM
mittee had a perfect legal right to hold
over till their successors were duly and
properly elected. He read letter from
state executive committee, IN which he
gave his opinion that the present COM
mittee was authorized to transact the
business Of the party till their success
sors were elected.
Mr.. Tucker contended that the proper
way of securing a new committee was
to elect by mass meetings in the various
militia districts of the county, as has
been done heretofore He questioned
the purpose of this movement to elect a
new committee just now, after the pri-
mary has been called, and is nearly on
hand. Mr.. Tucker grew very earnest at
times, making what all, whether they
agreed with him or not, considered a
very strong plea. The majority seemed
10 be with him from the start, and
when, at the close of his speech, he
made a motion to lay Mr.. Henderson,
motion upon the table, 1t was carried by
a large majority vote amid great en-
thusiasm.
Mr.. Tucker thereupon offered the fol-
lowing resolutions which, after discus
sion, were both passed with practically
no opposition. These resolutions dealt,
the one with the registration law, and
The other with the Australian ballot sys-
tenn to be used at the coming primary.
Here are the resolutions passed:
Whereas. Our present representative.
the Hon. j. A. ]. Henderson, has public
~ announced his intention to use his best
efforts at the coming session of the leg
islature to repeal or have amended the
present registration law. and,
Whereas, We believe that said law is
