Club Meetings So Far Reported.
The Democratic clubs in accordance
with the order of the State Executive
Committee met last Saturday. reorgan-
lzed, elected officers and delegates to
the county convention which sembles
May 9Th.
Manning has three clubs, Farmers
Platform, Clarendon and Manning, and
from these three clubs there will be
representation in the convention of oyer
one-fourth of the membership OF that
body, there will be thirty-six delegates
from these three clubs, the cause OF
this over representation is due to the
fact that many names appear on all
three of the clubs. and many names ap-
pear on other clubs not in town, and
too, many of these names do not vote in
the town clubs, but there was no objec-
tion raised, neither was there any con-
tention and the delegates were chosen
on basis OF the club rolls as they stood.

ton DuRant, Vice-President; G. a. Nc

S. Davis, J. II. Timmons, T. q. Ridge
way and J. NJ. Windham. In this club
there were some thirty-6ve names put
in nomination with twenty-three 10
elect, those present, who had not al
ready come there with large part OF
their ticket understood, voted at ran
dom not caring who was selected, some OF
them not even completing their ticket.
There was no open gubernatorial SEN
timent expressed, nor was any seeming
interest being taken except on the part
of very few, these evidently thought
the side they were on would have an ad-
vantage did they capture a majority OF
the delegates TO the county convention,
but there were others present, who
were Indifferent as to who went 70 the
convention, these regarded the conVen-
tion as OF minor Importance compared
with the settler of diferences-the
great Democratic primary: voted with
out any object in view or any unity OF
action, the result being that those who
were elected are on both sides of the
gubernatorial contest. Not so however
with the other two clubs, these elected
delegations which represent the Jones
sentiment.
