Editor of The ADVERTISER:
Please allow me space in your paper
to correct a statement which appeared
in your issue preceding the county
convention in regard to the Mountvillc
democratic club meeting. 1t was charg-
cd by some one that the Bleasa forces
imported members of Hopewell and
Cross Hill clubs in order to have a
majority at the club meeting. Being
president Of this club, wish to state
that this statement is incorrect. There
were no members imported. All who
participated In the club meeting had
a perfect right and were people who
voted here two years ago, except some
who moved into this community this
year and who have become of age since
last election. There was no charge
made at this meeting Of anybody being
imported. The only question that
came up was in the form of infOrma-
ton. Mr.. b. r. Fuller arose and asked
Mr.. It. H.. Cole where he lived and he
was told by Mr.. Cole that he lived be-
low Cross Hill. Mr. Cole and Mr.. w. p.
Adair live about three miles below
club, having just moved out of this
club. They had not Joined any other
club, having just mover out OF this
community this year. They voted here
two years ago and Of course had a per-
feet right to participate in the club
meeting.
Now, do not wish to make any
charge Oh the antiBlcasc faction, but
wish to state that there were two or
three members on their side partici-
pating in the meeting who have not
been voting here either in the pri-
mar. election or club meeting although
they have a perfect right. They are
what we call liners" and csr vote at
Cross Hill or Waterloo or Mountville
Just as they choose. So it is with the
Hopewcll boys; they can vote, here or
at Hopewcll and OF course there IS
more attraction here than there is al
Hopewcll and they come here to vote,
and | extend to them hearty wcl-
come" to come again.
Respectfully,

There was hiatus this time in
