THE CLUB MEETINGS

The IntelIigencer publishes this
morning reports from as many of the
demccratia clubs in the county as
could be reached yesterday. From the
general reports the meetings of the
clubs were harmonious and In some
but little interest was takenA No
lines were drawn in the city and men
were sent TO the county convention
regardless OF affiliations, it Is said.
Some time ago an appeal was made
for all counties in the state to send
instructed delegations to the state
convention. From superficial read
ing OF the names OF the delegates pub
lished. we would say that the COM
plexion Of the county convention here
will be very much as IL was two years
ago. We hope that the convention
this year will follow the sage advice
OF the county chairman Two yearA ago,
which was disregarded, and haye no
steam rollers, or lines of cleavage or
anything of that kind, but select from
the body Of citizenship of the county
as represented at the convention, the
best men to stand for the best county
In the state.
The convention two years ago fol-
lowed the visit OF one of the candi-
dates. for governor who had made Sc
rious charges against the governor
of the state who was offering for re-
election, and the feeling at the time
was somewhat acute. AS o resnlt
there was misunderstanding on ac-
count OF rumoFB. which caused a se-
rious breach in the party. We trust
that the mistakes made then. by both
siaes, viii serve 10 prove that men on
opposite sides are NOT subjects OF aus-
picion and dlstrust, bat to shove that
we are ali citizena of a splendid coun-
". one whose record and history is
soriething of which we ought to be
proud, and that In the approaching
ennranfinn the dnnihnnt nnfa viii ha

BAN ALLEN FOR PRESIDENT


The friends OF Ban Allen of this
city will be pleased to know that he
is being put forward by friends over
the state for the position of state
president of the Travellers Protective
Association. For several reasons this
strikes us as a most worthy sugRes-
tion. In the first place Is the personal
side of the question. We know of no
member Of the order In the state,
with its 1000 members. who could
more worthily fill the place.
In the second place. Mr.. Allen is the
representative of the travelling men OF
Anderson, busy, honest, high-toned
lot OF men, and Anderson has never
been eomplimented with this position.
We understand that Anderson, Cclum-
bia. Greenyllie. Spartanburg and per-
haps some of the other. larger posts
of the state have endorsed Mr.. Allen.
He is not seeking the honor, but we
hope that 1t will run him down and
fasten Stself upon him, He has been
president OF Post ID of this city for
"a year, and the membership has In
creased to 2l7 within that time.
The It. p. "A. is made up Of the pro-
gressive travelling men and whole
sale men of the state. and Ban Allen
is the peer Of the whole body OF
sterling men.
