Election Ordered for
January 15th
A general election ticket which
somehow failed to carry the name o t
the (nominee of the primary for the
office of probate judge brought
James R. Belk, member of the house
from Kershaw, to Columbia yester
day.
Representative Belk said tote came
to see <about a general election being
called, so that the situation may be
taken oare of. N. C. Araett, he said,
was nominated for the office of pro
(bate judge in the primary election,
but in some way wihen the general
election ticket was being made up,
Ms. Arn?tt's name did not appear on
it, and as no one noticed it or paid
any particular attention to the omis
sion, the eleotion went through,
though Mr. Arnett was not voted
for along with other nominees for
the simple reason tfh/at his name was
not carried on the ballot.
Representative Belk said a county
board of directors had also been
nominated in the primary and that
names of the nominees had also been
omitted from the general election
ticket, so that the board found itseli
in the same position as Mr. Aniett?
nominated in the primary but not
voted for in the general election. The
omission, as with regards to the
oounty board, could be rectified, Re
presentative Belk said, tfltfrough ap
pointments, but as regards a "pro
bate judge, he thought an election
would have to (be held. ? The State.
On petition o! the following tax-,
payers, T. V. Walsh, Jr., A. B. Boy
kin and John K. de Loach, Governor |
Blackwood y^terda^ ordered a
special election to be held for Pro
bate- Judge and County Directors on|
