stated that very little consideration
had been shown him and he did not

answered Mr. Gibbes. 'Ts always
found it wisdom to follow precedent"
When asked il Mr.. Barron, the vice
president, had not been called to the
city from Greenville for the purpose
OF holding this "rump" meeting, Mc.
Gibbes said that he had, because IL
was the general report around the
city that the president, DR.. Adams.
had left the State to keep from hold
ing 1t. A number of items were in
troduced by Mr.. Richardson's attor-
| neys to show that certain sums OF
money had been paid to Warden Lit
tie at Greerville and to Mack Hays for
keeping bouks and acting as warden
for Richland county. This Mr..
Gibbes explained by saying that this
large amourt was paid during only a
few months in the year. and that the
total for the year would be shown to
be about the $1,000 allowed by law.
Mr. Gibbes was also asked If he did
not bring 166 proxies to the May meet
ing to vote them for himself. This
Mr.. Gibbes admitted and added that
"of that number only 63 were voted
for me. as they were ruled out by
that famous committee on creden-
tials"
