SEARCHED FOR ARMS. The Committee at Claren. !. don Tuesday Peacefully
 Settled" things
Tho Trouble Was Looked For,

Stand and be searched for weapons was the order for every one who sought admission to the committee meeting in the Court House at Clarendon on Tuesday.
 The charges of fraud in the Monroe county primary held on the 18th inst. was to have been heard by the county committee on Tuesday at Clarendon.
 The committee met and was called to order by chairman, R. F. Milwee.
 Following close after this, was Ia motion by Jno. s. Black, pro- viding for the holding of another election throughout the county for the contested offices, County Clerk, Treasurer and Assessor. An amendment or two was made and then came Jay Wheelock with a substitute motion that the Brinkley township box be |thrown out altogether and that the vote be canvassed and nomi-. 'nees declared without the Brink ley vote.
 Following this, Hon. M. J. Manning, acting as counsel for contestants Hinton, Oliphant and Knight, addressed the chair and spoke in behalf of Jay Vince lock 5 resolution charging that the fraud of which he claimed to have positive proof in the one box shouldn't necessitate run ming the entire election over, etc. While he was speaking there was evidently something. doing among the interested ones, for there was a knowing look, a flag of truce or something that. held things up for a few minutes and Attorney Manning ceased speaking to counsel with his clients, and nnon his return he an6ounced the desire of MT. Wheelock to withdraw the mo- tion to throw out the Brinkley box and to accept Mfr. Blacks motion to have a run over' for these offices throughout the county; the candidates to have the prIviledge of selecting the judges. Then it was that the storm was suddenly dispelled and by acclinlation the run over' motion of Mir. Black went thro' and there was nc one present who did not appearantly show q sign of approval and satisfaction that the bump that has been growing on the Democratic body polite of Monroe county since Jan. 18th, had come off So easy, without the necessity of resorting to severe treatment.
 Attorneys G. Otis Bogle, of this city, and H. A. Parker, of Clarendon, were present to rep resent Messrs Graham, Engle and .Jimmerson.
 One of the little ripples of the Icommittee meeting Tuesday came when chairman Milwee sci down" on committeeman c. F. 1 Greenlee, declaring MT. Greenlee out of order as he, started te speak in reply to MT. Manning $ rather warm charges against ] tire Brinkley judges. MT. Green.

report OF the commission which in.

The report which became public ror

open the question OF establishing a

sized the desirability OF carrying out

Liberia has thus far failed in solving
these problems satisfactorily, she has
found herself involved in controver-
sizes with foreign nations. These have
created an unrest which hampered
her internal development and have
made her feel that her national ex-
istence is threatened by powerful
neighbors without and by weakness
