Immediately after the election of
the secretary, Mr.. Dominick arose
and made a brief speech in which he
said that while he did not care to be
considered a "self constituted advis-
er" of the committee, he wanted to
know the position of the committee
and to make the position of Governor
Blease clear. He said he wanted it
understood that in participating in the
investigator Governor Blease's at
torneys were not waving any of their
rights. He asked if the committee
would consider only contests or pro-
tests made by Judge Jones, or wheth-
er general investigation was to be
made.
Mr.. Stevenson answered that none
of the parties concerned would be
held to have waived their legal rights
by appearing in the investigation.
Mr.. Greer interrupted to say that
what the committee must have was
oral testimony, that unless witnesses
could be put on the stand and ex-
amined the investigation would be
"all stuff"

the manner in which the investiga-
tion should be conducted, and would

any rules OF conduct.
Mr.. Jeffries' motion was lost and
Mr.. Buffers carried by strictly par
tisan vote. The committee then took
a recess until $3.50 o'clock. The rules
adopted were as follows:
Plan Suggested.
The following plan for the probe
will be submitted to the committee
fo reconsideration by Chairman Stew
enson:
81. That the burden of proving ir-
regularities or fraud sufficient to an
null the election or reverse the face
of the returns rests upon those
charging the same.
"2. That since the entire public is
as deeply interested and have been
edness, if known, the public will have
the right to be heard in support of
charges made and those making
charges, whether the public generally
or the contestants, should produce
their proof in opening.
SO. That the contestee has then the
right to offer proof in rebuttal and
the contestants in reply.
"a. That where no proof is pro-
duced as to county either by the con-
testants or by the public as heretofore
requested, and the records as fur
nished the committee show nothing
wrong, such county shall be passed as
correct, proof of crookedness not hav-
ing been forthcoming to overthrow
the presumption of correctness which
always prevails.
"5. That applying such rules, only
those counties will be investigated
where tangible specifications are in
hand, either produced by contestants,
the public, or appearing from the
records collected by the subcommit-
tee appointed heretofore, and it will
be the endeavor of the committee to
take up the counties and complete
them, one at time, beginning at
Spartanburg, this course to be varied
as justice may require, of course.
IS. The character of evidence and
the method of production will have
to be determined by the committee
from time to time as the questions
arise"
John T. Duncan, the third candi-
date for governor, was present in the
court room when the committee re-
convened after dinner.
Mr.. Jeffries said that before the
proceedings were resumed he desir-
ed to make statement as to his po-
sition, and after that he hoped that
no more partisanship would be in
jected. Mr.. Jeffries said the Blease
members of the subcommittee had
three objections to what had been
done thus far, and desired to have
their objections incorporated in the
record.
The Objections.
The first objection was the arbitra-
ry manner in which the subcommit-
tee had been further divided into two
committees, and in this connection
the Bease members wished to pro-
test against the manner in which the
proposed meeting at Columbia had
been called off by the anti Blease ma
jority when it met at Charlotte.
The second objection was to the
delay. The Blease members, Mr..
Jeffries said, felt that it was impos-
sible to secure newspaper publica-

Mr.. Stevenson said he hoped to
get the number of men of voting age
in each county from the census bu-
reau, and that this would throw much
light on the question whether or not
there were more votes cast than
ought to have been.

year by the City council There is a
growing demand in this city for play
grounds supervised, of course, and il
seems likely that the coming summer
will see at least one such opened. The
Anderson Art club members tax them
selves 20 cents each spring for seeds
for the children of the city and give
prizes for the best. second best. and
the most artistically arranged flower
gardens. The work of the Anderson
club women in donating 81 per capita
TO the support of visiting nurse has
proven most satisfactory. They are
now looking forward to the exhibit of
local artists to be held in April. when
all kinds of arts and crafts work will
be displayed, and which promises TO
be of unusual interest and value
The Art club is noted for its interest
and efforts in planting trees in its To-
cality and it is gratifying TO know that
out of $50 trees planted by it along
the road TO the cemetery only six or
seven died. These are to be replaced
by new ones as soon as the weather
permits. This club also distributed $50
elm trees donated by l.. S. Ayres & Co.
to the Industrial school last spring A
member of the club tells us that il was

HOLY WEEK..

This is holy week and society or at
least most of it will rest this week
Sunday last was Palm Sunday, most
of the churches of the city observing
the day with special services.
Palm Sunday derived its origin from
the day on which Christ made his tri
umphant entry into Jerusalem, the Fri
day before he was put to death. Palm
branches were strewn in his path on
the day of his entry and have since
played an important part in the ser
vices of this day
In the tenth or. possibly the fifth
century of the Christian era, the Sun
day before Easter was called Palm
church ordained that boughs of palms
trees should be carried in procession
A portion of them were and still are
preserved to be burned for holy ashes
to lay upon the heads of the faithful
on Ash Wednesday, the first Sunday
in Lent of the following year.
In the early part of the Christian era
the faithful would form en- procession
on Palm Sunday and the priest, noun
ted on an ass, would ride, carrying the
host. Palm Sunday is the beginning of
Holy week, the most abstinent time
of all Lent for many and especially
! Catholics. Palm Sunday is generally
! celebrated to some extent in the Epis-
copal and Catholic faiths and the SER
vices are on an elaborate plan. Good
Friday services will be held in this
city by various church organizations.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend all these services. The st. Paul's
Episcopal church and First English
Lutheran choirs will furnish special
music at their respective services.
