succeed John Nj. Cannon, deceased
There were only two names placed
before the committee, c. A. Power
and Mr.. Irby, Mr.. Irby securing ma
jority and being declared elected.
On account Of lack Of time the
committee did not go further into the
plans OF re-districting the county or
attending to other business. For this
purpose full meeting Of the com
mittee has been called for next Mon
day morning. A call for this mept-
ing, signed by the newly elected
chairman, will be found in another
column Of this paper.
Under the new rues of the party the
two clubs of this city will no longer
exist In their present form. The new
rules provide for the formation OF
clubs according to geographical
bounds with no overlapping of club
membership. While the action of the
committee in reforming the Laurens
clubs cannot be foretold it is very
probable that two or more clubs will
be formed in the city bounded by
ward lines, as provided in the rules.
The formation Of these voting dis
tricts is in the hands Of the county
executive committee.
