to go back to the springs at 12:a5
O'Clock, and he called Col w. A. Clark
to the chair.
On motion of Mr.. d. H. Weston, who
is Uuited States District Attorney,
Chairman Clark appointed a creden-'
tisls committee, composed of Mr
Weston, Mr.. A. S. Salley, Jr., secre-
tsry of the State historical commits
SIGN, and Mr.. Albert R. Hayward.
The credentials committee reported
that there were Is members present,
with 321 proxies. On motion OF MI.
R. Beverly Herbert, the report was
received as information, and all those
having proxies present were elected
members.
Tie question then came UP as to
wtat to do with the money which &C
con- panied the proxies of new mem
bers. Mr.. Salley made the point that
Nj. Albert r. Heyward, appointed
treasurer by Governor Ansel several
years ago, was still legal treasurer, &s
a treasurer held until removed for
cause, and that the appointment OF
Mss Belle wiiliacs as treasurer
by Governor Manning was illegal. in
that 40 woman could hold an oEce
in South Carolina. There was coa-
Siderable discussion On the point, and
the Convention finally decided to re-
solve every point in its faver, as far
as possible By recognizing Ar. Hey
ward es still treasurer Of the society,
ars alss ressmmendiRs him to Gev-
error Manning fer reapssfztaezt.
The convention alss held that q
secretary shealA be elected in place Of
Secretary V. F. Fundereurk, appoint
ee by President Asans when Miss
Belle Williams resigned AZ both sec
retary and treasurer. Mr.. Albert r.
Hey ward was also elected secretary,
ard a motion was carried to pay him
Sc per month for his services as Sec
retary and treasurer.
Mr. Heyward was requested to take
tie money and also to make request
at President Adams to turn over 20
hun any mony of the society which he
might have on hand.
Mr.. Hayward wanted to know what
to do in the matter of paying counsel
to get the money if President Adams
should refuse to turn it over He said
j. looked to him as if the matter would
go into the courts again, and he
wanted to know upon what authority
he could employ counsel. He also
wanted to know upon what authority
he should pay out money belonging to
the society. AS to the latter point, he
was admonished by Chairman Clark
to 90 by the bylaws where they COW
cred the point, and where they did
rot to go by direction of the officers.
AS to the employment of counsel, it
was suggested that Governor Manning
would look after that part of the
matter
eI am little vague as to where my
authority comes FROM" said Mr.. Hey
ward.
And he seemed to express the pre-
vs:iiing sentiment-though it was not
OF enly expressed by any others.
On motion of Mr.. Herbert, the con-
vention proceeded to the matter in
hard-t.le recommendation of a per-
son suitable to the governo s1r ap-
polrtment as chief game W ~ n. Mr..
Herbert nominated Mr.. Gibbes. Mr..
Saley seconded the motion. Mr..
Weston moved that the nominations
close. All the motions were unanl-
rously carried as rapidly as they
were put.
Mr.. Edmund Heyward, acting as
temporary secretary, was instructed
to send Mr.. Gibbes' name to the gov
error.
There being nothing else to do that
anyone could think Of. the little
gathering then adjourned.
