At meeting of the county Demo-
cratic executive committee, held in the
court house on Saturday, a second prl-
mary for county Offices in Newberry
county was ordered to be held on
Tuesday, October Is, and other busl-
ness was transacted.
The meeting was called to order at
- O'Clock noon by County Chairman
Fred. H. Dominick, Secretary Frank H.
Hunter being at his post of duty. There
were about twenty-five members of the
committee present.
County Chairman Dominlck reclteo
the fact that the second primary IN
Newberry had been postponed, for the
reasons already fully published; that
since then the State committee had
met and declared the results OF the
first primary, had ordered second
primary for attorney general to be
held on October Is, and had recon-
mended that in the counties where
primaries for county Offices were still
necessary that they be held on this
date. County Chairman Dominick said
that in Newberry county second races
were necessary for one member OF the
house of representatives county super
intendent of education, supervisor,
county commissioners, and magistrates
for two townships, Nos. 10 and II.
DR.. W. C. Brown moved that sec
ond primary for Newberry county be
held on October Is, open to those can
didates qualified to enter, for the Of
fees for which no candidate had re-
ceived majority in the first primary,
mentioned above, and that the same
managers act. Mr.. J. B. Bedenbaugh
seconded the motion, and it was car
ried
The matter of magistrate IN No. IL
township was brought up by Mr.. Eu-
gene S. Blease, who stated that Mr..
B. T. Richardson, one of the candl-
dates, contended that he would have
been in the second race instead of Mr..
E. A. Hentz, had two votes for Mr..
Richardson cast at Jolly Street, in No.
10 township, been counted. County
Chairman Dominick said Mr.. Richard
son had written him about the matter,
and asked that the committee take it
I'D. Mr.. E. S. Blease thought if the
1abulating committee had overlooked
these two votes and they would change
the complexion of the second race, that
Mr. Richardson ought to have them II
he was entitled to them, the primary
for magistrate being simply recon-
mendation for appointment, anyway,
and Mr.. Biease moved that a commit
tee of three be appointed to tabulate
again the vote for magistrate for No.
II township and investigate this mat
ter particularly. The motion was
adopted, and Messrs. ". A. McSwain,
Geo. B. AulI and T. J. Wilson were
appointed on this committee. The
committee was instructed to report its
findings to the chairman and secretary,
who were to order a second race be-
tween the two candidates found by the
committee to have received the larg-
est and next largest number of votes
for magistrate of this township.
County Chairman Dominick stated
to the committee his action in the
matter of the investigation Of alleged
fraud and irregularity in NeWberry
county, demanded by the subcommit-
tee of the State committee. Mr.. Dom
inick's position was stated fully in his
correspondence with Sub-Chairman j.
B. Park, of the State committee, al
ready published in full in The Herald
and News. On motion, the executive
committee approved the action of
Chairman Dominick, without dissent
ing vote.
The committee adjourned to meet on
Thursday, October II, to declare the
results of the second primary.
Three in Race for Magistrate No. IL.
The subcommittee appointed to re-
tabulate the vote for magistrate OF No.
II found that there was one vote at
Jolly Street for Mr.. B. T. Richardson,
which had been overlooked, and this
