To the Farmers of Oconee: I would like to say that I am not re sponsible for the conditions that some of our demonstrators aro meet ing. I can only advise and lay stress on plans, and tell how they must be carried out to vieet with success. If you get directions to a certain point in the West and buy a ticket to some point in tho East and hoard a train, you can only say, I made the mistake myself, for I was told better. What about hay?

First primary must be hold ou last Tuesday in Au gust, and a second and third each two weeks, successively, thereafter if necessary. dur county executive committee should meet next Monday and di vide Oconee county into ?dub dis tricts, and organige the various clubs and provide the machinery for the now enrollment. lt is tile intention and desire that every Democrat shall take part in the primary; that he shall vc'e once, and that his vote shall be honestly counted. It is confi dently believed that this new sys tem will effectually promote this end. However, every Democrat is urged to co-operate with the officers of their respective clubs lu procuring the new enrollment of all members of the party. With a little special effort and atten tion for the next two months, every Democrat in the State en titled to vote should have his name on the new roll. In conclusion, I might state that the six delegates elected by ?ur county convention answered to roll-call when the State Conven tion convened at noon Wednesday. .T. P. Stribllng had to leave Thurs day morning, and the delegation elected Oscar Doyle as bis substi tute, so ns to maintain our full voting strength for the final test Thursday afternoon. The friends of Mr. Doyle will be pleased to learn that he is a student from Oconee in the law department of the State University. In which he is taking fine rank. In the assignment of committee appointments the Oconee delegates served as follows: Committee on Constitution and Rules, F. M. Cary; Committee on Platform, Dr. J. S. Stribllng: Committee on Credentials. Dr, A. M. Redfern. After the adoption of the new constitution and niles the conven tion unanimously elected .John Gary Evans as State chairman. Thc convention then adjourned Thursday afternoon about <? o'clock, and the State chairman called the State Executive Com mittee into sermon. Dr. C. M. Walker met with this committee as (b once's member. Wilie Jones was elected treasurer, and W. P. McCown secretary of the State committee. Provision was also made for the new enrollment of the party, and as soon as the books can bo re ceived from the printer they will be distributed to each county ex ecntive committee and placed In tho nands ol' tho enrolling officer ol each club. Thus ll is seen that the new enrollment, which is of such vital Importance, can begin t an early date. R, T. .Taynes. Chairman of Oconee Delegation. MON AG HA N-SENECA FIELD DAY.
