The n was ordered by the
governor, Y week ago, making
the campaign short.
The recall election had its origin
in a controversy that arose in the
council over loan of $4,000 to the
city by the Merchants & Farmers
bank at 4 per cent. when it was con-
tended that the city had been offered
cheaper money by the Bank Of Spar
tanburg. Mayor Floyd is associated
with the institution from which the
loan was secured. This question, how
ever, was hardly mentioned during
the campaign and if there was an issue
1t was that raised by Commissioners
Gallman and Hudson that they had
not been treated exactly right when
they were legislated out of office
through the action Of the county DEL
egation in reducing the number of
commissioners. Messrs. Gallman and
Hudson had only retired from office
on November 13. During their term
of office there was more or less fric-
ton between them and the mayor and
