The Lexington County Democratic convention was held in the court house on Monday with nearly every precinct in the county represented. County Chairman D. F. Eflrd, in a ringing speech, announced the purpose of the meeting, its duties, etc. Upon motion of Col. E. L. Asbill, of Leesville, the Hon W. H. Sharpe was elected temporary president. Upon fabino the nhair Mr Shame thanked "" '"B ?- ~ 1? the convention for the honor conferred upon him. For more than twentyfive consecutive years Mr. Sharpe has been identified with the interest of the county in political affairs. He has held various offices and has served a number of terms in the house and in the senate. State Senator Crosson ( / was elected temporary vice-president; ( I Jame9 B. Addy temporary secretary; L. W. Wise temporary assistant sec- 1 retary, and Capt. John G. Guignard treasurer. All of these officers were subsequently made permanent. _ Upon motion of Dr. R. H. Timmer? man, of Batesburg, the Hon. D. Frank Eflrd was unanimously elected county chairman, a position he ha9 filled for < the past two years with conspicuous * 1 ability. Hon George Bell Timmerman non inated Col. D. J. Grflfith for re-elec- . < n0 tion as a member of the State execu- \ u tive committee. The mention of Col. < 00 Griffith's name broughtforth a storm i 00 of applause from the convention. The ] 50 genial Col., as he rose to respond, was < . visibly affected and feelingly did he < thank the people of his home county j 00 for the continued confidence reposed 00 in him. Col. Griffith although a resi- < q0 dent of Columbia now, being super- J intendent of the state penitentiary, , still belongs to the old Lewiedale dem- 1 . ocratic club and never fails to attend J its meetings.

The Dispath learns with pleasure of the promotion of Mr. J. B. Rhnde Meetze to the important position of I manager of the Armour Packing Co , at Columbia. This is a deserved pr< motion and a compliment to the ability I of Mr. Meetze. He is a Lexington bay, being a son ol the late John H. Meetze. He began his business career with the firm of Meetze. & Son, and has only been with the Armour Company for about two years. That he will continue to "make good," goes g. without saying.

She was of retiring disposition, unassuming in her manner, and had a large number of friends. Brief Services were held at the Drafts hotel on Friday afternoon, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. J. A. Cromer, after which the body was carried to the Drafts burying ground about four miles from Lexington for interment, a large party accompanying the body to its last resting place. Mr. Edwin G.
