i The question of the defination of
club districts was brought up and
Chairman Clifton stated that he had
referred the matter to State Chair
man John Gary Evans and requested
a ruling. He read the reply Of Chair
man Evans, who ruled that voters.
not residents " cities, must enroll In
the club nearest to their places Of
residence. irrespective of township
lines. the distance being calculated by
the shortest practicable route. That
is to say, If a voter residing in State
Co
good club than to the Stateburg club.
then he must enroll in the Hagood
club and vote there. This opinion of
the State Chairman was in direct con-
tradiction Of the construction placed
on the rule by a majority vote of the
Sumter County Executive committee
at it's last meeting, when it was held
that club districts must be restricted
to townships and that a voter must
enroll in the club in the district in
which he resides. Under the ruling
of the State Chairman the duty of the
County Executive Committee is per-
formed when it shall have fixed and
declared the polling places Of the
several clubs OF the county and that
the districts Of the several clubs and
the membership thereof are automat-
ically determined by the distance of
the places Of residence of the voters
from these club precincts. A voter
must enroll in the club nearest his
place Of residence.
A motion was made and seconded
that the Chairman be directed to pre-
pare and publish a list Of the polling
places Of the several clubs, as fixed
and declared by the committee at this
meeting, and that the voters Of Sum-
ter county be notified In the same
publication that they are required to
enroll in the club nearest their place
Of residence and that in enrolling they
arc required to sign their names in
full.
Mr.. w. o. Cain offered as q sub-
stitute that the club districts as laid

meeting be adhered to. The substi-
tute was voted down. The motion as
originally made was then put to a
vote and adopted.
The question of nominating can
didates for Coroner to fill the unex-
pired term of Mr.. s. F. Flowers, de-
ceased. was brought up. and after
discussion it was decided that since
the Office could not be filed by ap-
pointment save for the period be-
tween the time the vacancy occurs
and the next general election, there
fore 1t was just and proper to place
the office of Coroner in the forthcom-
ing primary.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call Of the Chairman.

NEW USE FOR MOTOR CAR

The adaptability of the automo-
bile to odd and varied uses is being
Illustrated every day. The electric
equipment on the car has also been
adapted to strange circumstances
even to assisting a surgeon in per-
forming an operation in a country
house where the only light avail
able was a kerosene lamp.
Now comes w. H. Van Wrinkle,
president of the Water Works Equip
ment company of New York, with
something new. MI. Van Wrinkle has
invented a simple device which he
adjusts to his 1912 Cadillac road
ster, and by this "a opens and
closes water valves of a city water
system. The combination does in
one minute and a half what usually
requires four men a half hour to
do in all cities. The device is at
tached to a real wheel which has
been lacked up. The motor is then
started. This appliance is adjust
able and will fit any size auto wheel.

HAS ONE FOOT OF
1865 HIGH GRADE

---
Reports from the Seven Troughs
Coalition mine are to the effect that
the south drift from the 1850 level
is exposing one foot of ore assaying
$665 a ton and that the face of the
north drift on the same level has six
inches running 1884. The slopes
from the various levels are strong
and assaying well up to the high
standard of values which this ore
shoot has maintained from it's first
discovery. Drifts have been started
north and south from the 1900 level,
where the vein measures fourteen
inches and averages over $500 a ton.
The 100 level south drift from the
old workings is being pushed ahead
for a connection with the present
seat of operations, to facilitate and
cheaper the handling of the ore and
waste and afford better air currents.
Following the regular monthly
cleanup, which is now under way, the
mill will be hung up for a few days,
while a new camshaft is being placed
and other necessary repairs made
