Twenty-seven of the 29 i clubs in the county were represented, | the unrepresented clubs being those of Nates' school house and Pelion. | It was a most representative body of | men and was remarkable in that there i ttod q crxficph nnt a single debate TTWO ^ v , 0 I nor a resolution, nor paper cf any j kind submitted to the convention. | Perhaps nothing like it was ever ! witnessed in this county and probj ably in this State before. From the beginning to the end the convention transacted the business for which it i j was called in a harmonious and ori derly manner. The credit for this, j in a measure, was undoubtedly due to the able and businesslike methods of the Chairman, Hon. C. M. Efird. who handled the convention the best i i that we have ever seen a body of j men controlled. Promptly at 11 o'clock County Chairman SoaDn called the conven- j L j tion to order and Hon. C. M. Efird I wa9 nominated and unanimously [ [ elected temporary chairman and Jas. | j B. Addy and Samuel B George ternI porarv secretaries. On taking the chair Mr. Efird j thanked the convention for the honor it had conferred upon him in calling him to the chair. Heretofore he had been a candidate seeking political preferment; endeavoring to climb up step by step and asking the support of the people to assist him in doing so. Now he was no longer a candidate and asking nothing at their hands except the continued confidence of his fellow citizens and the honor was, therefore doubly appreciated. The delegates were then enrolled, a3 follows: Bull Swamp No 1?W Q Jackson, C C Justus. Swansea?W T Brooker, Paul E Hutto, L P Smith, B F Gardner, I Hutto, 11 E Inabinet, W A Derrick.
