W. H. GURR WAS ENDORSED
Will Be Presented by Terrell County
For District Delegate to the
National Convention.

A majority of the delegates to the
state convention were present in per-
son and by proxy at the meeting that
was called for Thursday afternoon
by Chairman Edwards of the county
executive committee.
w. H. Gurr, solicitor of the city
court, was unanimously endorsed as
a delegate from the Third district to
the national convention. DR.. J. G.
Dean withdrew his name from con
sideration, and NJ. j. Yeomans had
several days before retired from the
contest.
A resolution introduced by R. R.
Marlin instructing the Terrell dele
gates to the state convention to vote
for Thos. E. Watson for delegate at
large was not adopted, it being de-
cided best not to endorse any one ex-
cept the local candidate. The ma
iority of those present were in favor
of Mr.. Watson being on the delega-
ton, and the vote of Terrell will be
for him.
1t is understood that there are
three candidates for the two PLACES
on the state delegation to which the
Third district is entitled-W H.
Gurr of Terrell, R. l.. Moye of Ran
dolph. and w. H. Lasseter of Dooly.
There are two candidates in the dis
trict-W. E. Steed of Taylor and
Crawford Wheatley of Sumter-for
delegate at large, of which there will
be four to represent the state.
