EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OUTLINES DISTRICTS
One Club in Laurens City Proper-.CIubs to Organize
Next Saturday.

: The county executive committee met
in the court house Monday at eleven
. o'clock to fix the boundaries Of the
club districts and to attend to any
other matters. The work Of laying out
the boundaries for the club districts
was a very tedious job and required
most Of the day for it's completion. The
boundaries of these districts are out
lined in the order issued by Chairman
w. c. lrby, Jr., which is found below
Considerable discussion arose in the
meeting over the construction to be
placed on the third section and Clause
G of the eighth section of the rules,
relating 10 the boundaries of the club
districts. The committee was unable
to agree whether it was the intention
of the trainers Of the rules to require
every club member to enroll in the
township in which he lived, regardless
Of the distance to the nearest club, or
whether he could cross a township line
to enroll at nearby club. The ques-
tiOn was settled by ballot. Except in
the case of towns, which are specif-
cally provided for, the committee voted
that every voter must enroll at the
club in his township nearest which he
lives and that he cannot cross town
ship line. An exception was made in
the race of residents IN the vicinity of
Clinton, as will be seen in the order
Of Mr.. Irby below.

ished and new city club will have

county chairman as a suitable time for
organization. 1t will be noted in his
statement that while he only suggests
this as suitable time for organization,
he points out that it is essential to
organize before the following Tuesday,
June 8, as that is the last day allowed
by the new rules. In case the club is
not organized, on or before June 8.
