Gorsing the candidacy Of Mr.. Stoll

6orsing John Gary Evans for gov

resolution was regarded as rather
previous since it is rot yet known
who will be in the lineup of guberna-
torial aspi.,ants. This was substitute
ed, however, by resolution offered
by Mr.. Epps, to the effect that the
women of the county be urged to
register and vote in the coming pri-
mary for the good and safety Of the
state. This resolution was unani-
mously adopted. No women partici-

convention was a harmonious one,
there being only one contest, brought
without any i'll feeling, that from
the Earl's precinct. Where two club
meetings were held, one in the fore
Aoon and the other in the afternoon.
The president of the Earles club, W.
S. Camlin, having died since the last
meeting two years ago. The dele
pates selected at the afternoon meet
ing, the Parsons delegation, were
seated.
While the ballots were being count
ed to determine the delegates chosen
to the state convention the Rev. Mr..
Roads of Trio, addressed the conven-
ton. Mr.. Roads had been informed
that he was delegate but upon his
arrival here found that he was not.
He thought that che business of the
Democratic party in the county should
be conducted in more business-hke
manner and also took occasion to criti-
else certain jestirg that took place
in the convention when DR.. Boyd, In
his inimitable style told the chairman
that he had = lot of corn at home
which he could nor sell and asked the
chairman if he thought he could make
any money out of it by establishing
distilery and converting the corn
into moonshine wniskey.
Mr.. Roads also drafted a. resolution
conden,ning the practice by the state
legislature for holding executive meet
inps on the sabbath, and would have
every candidate for state office make
public declaration as to his attitude
on the proper observance of the Lords
day. Mr.. Roads resolution was Sec
ended by Mr.. E, c. Epps and was
adopted by the convention.
