PRECINCT CLUPS
ORGANIZED SATURDAY
Little Interest Shown In Meetings.
Women Sent as Delegates From
Gray Court.

Gray Court.
Judging by reports received ,by The
Advertiser, interest in the Democratic
cluD meetings held in the county Sat
urday was not at a fever heat. Indeed
IL Is thought that a number of clubs
rallied to organize at all, while others
were very sparsely attended A few
reports sent to The Advertiser by sec
retaries indicate that the women were
conspicuous by their absence and in
only one case, that Of Gray Court,
were women elected as delegates to
the county convention which meets
here next Monday. One woman was
named by the Jaures city club as a
member OF the enrolling committee.
Voters Of the Trinity-Ridge section
and the Barksdale section, formerly
included In the Laurens city precinct,
held meetings of their own and will
petition the county executive commit
tee to allow formation Of clubs in
/ those sections. A committee, consist
ing OF Messrs. r. T. Wilson, Alison
Lee and w. S. Power, was also ap-
pointed by the Laurens city club to
formulate plan OF division of the
club and present the plan to the exc
fcutive committee for it's consideration.
Mr.. Lee, who introduced the motion
to provide for "a division Of the club,
pointed out that the large increase in
the club membership, due to woman
suffrage, had made the club so large
that enrolling the members worked a
hardship upon the club secretary and
made the counting Of votes on cleo
ton day very arduous task for the
club managers.
The committee which nominated the
delegates Of the Laurens city club was
composed of Messrs. ]. F. Tolbert, o.
G. Thompson and o. L.. Long.
