* r . \ , VOU'ME LV? SOIBER , . ' NEWBERRY, S.>C? FRIDAY, AI'GC.ST 2, 191 \ TWICE A WEEK, ?U0 .4 YEAH I I IWl I THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS t OF NEWBERKY COUNTY. k All the enrollment books of the democratic cl'dbs of Newberry county have been turned in to the headquarters of the county executive com- j mittee, and copies are now ' being "v made as required by iaw. All of the club book? came in in the time fixed "by law, with the exception of three. Kinards, Dominick and Maybinton,: the books from these clubs being one day late. The delay was probablv due to the fact that the officers were getting up the -fist of absent voters,! as .they were permitted to. do this v work until the 26th of -T"lv. the day fixed as the last day for delivering ? the books to the county chairman. " The total enrollment for the county ** is 3467. Of this number 393 are persons who are engaged in the civil, k military an^naval service of the | United States, making the-number of i itiose really present in the county j at the time of enrollment, and likely to be here on election day, 3074. It is ' evident that there has not b&en near ; a full enrollment of the voters, <$- ! peciallv of those engaged in the servire of the government. The enrollk ment ih 1916 was 346S. The popula-v B[ t!cn of the county having increased W la the past two years, of course, the f* enrollment of 191$ should have exceeded that of two years ago. We understand that there are around Ik 600 young white men in the service Iut tilt* gUYeriiineiu, m seme r?pau:iv or other. It is evident that the enByment committee did not secure |*names and addresses of all these men. It should be stated. flBever, that the enrollment com.Wees did not have sufficient time |Kvork or. that enrollment. They to send in t.heir boolts bv the "i'?. of Julr.

The officer* in charge in t?his county, however, found out about the rule as to this enrollment on Friday, the 19th rri sent out notices about the matter. V t L Another r?acon for a smaller enrollment than there should have been was because of the grest error of ? * Cfo<n /-><-> ?T T>1 i+ Q 1 TT Cri T'i n r* KFMTjMBK w II C OUlU VUiU wiv v *** ^ J. ? - vr %* v ?.** te?wr?ns day for the closing of the Tt was published and adver-1 P*t;sed" from May until July ieth that ' =? books would be kept open until Tuly 30th. On July 16th the State ft committee ordered the "books closed ^ on July 23rd. one week earlier than w the date advertised previously. A number of voters who did not enroll would probably have done so if the State Coipmittee had been well in-1 formed of the law and had advertised \ It nroperlv. Strenuous efforts were ^ made in .Newberry county though by , 9 the oflcials of the county commit- j tee to corect the error of the State f committee. The county chairman's office published notices in both the county papers, sent out 3000 circul- ; ars. ?.nc! sent letters-to all the secretaries. executive committeemen and enrolling committeemen, as to the books closing on the 23rd. In all likelihood if this action had not been taken bv these officers hundreds of voters who did enroll would have been caught unawares and would V?OTTQ 1 ^\C+ +Tinir- -riorTlf to vnt A P3Hk aa T ^ v v * vvv BL The county committee will meet.in HHP the next few days to purge the rolls |i| and to correct errors therein.

Under the rules of the party the congressional candidates can not speak at the State and senatorial meetings unless they did so after the other meetings had been adjourned and it is a v.-ise provision because the people who go out to hear the candidates f->r the senate do not care at the same time to hear the candidates for con g-'PSS. The following itinerary was agreed upon, of course subject to the approval of the county chairmen who weret aot present at the meeting as to their counties. Only W. P. Grefcne representing Abbeville. W: H. Nicholson, representing Greenwood and E. H. Aull, representing Newberry were present at the meeting at Greenwood C. E.

There does nor seem to be much desire for office this year on, the part of Xewberrv citizens a*nd the campaign will probably be a very tame affair. Apart from the magistrates there are only two offices to be filled, that cf mem* ber of the legislature and probate judge. There are only six candidates for the legislature and three to be o A ah lt? i -\i~ r\ nrO.hn uiiuacu anu ^ iw* p* w judge and not more than two for magistrate in any township. There will be no necessity for a secon.-i primary wftich is encouraging. The campaign opened Thursday afternoon at Keitts Grove in Xo. 2 township. There are toom any meetings but they are to be held in the afternoon and there is not much probability of o large attendance at any of them be cause mere is to oe no oarDecue uus year to draw the crowds. Mr. J. Bedenbaugh signed the pledge for the ilegislr^ure just a few minnntes before the closing and then decided to withdraw. He concluded that it would be best just to ^iave twice the number to be selected ro that a second primary might be avoided but will probably enter tho list the next time, two years from now. received a great many letters from friends in 3II sections of the county urging liim to run and many friends personally offered support but it is much tetter to avoid any second primary if possible.

Matthews who has been tvith the National Bank of Newberry [or about four years, first as stenographer to the president, and then as collector and book-keeper in charge af the savings department, has resigned to take effect on the ^th of August. * Mr. Matthews will move to another j town and will be engaged in the banking business with an increa.-e in pay as well as increase of responsibility. He is the eldest son of Mr. B. C? Matthews, the president of the National bank, and is popular with the public because he is always courte 3us and polite and a gentleman. Any man who is to deal with the public and does not know how to be polite and courteous should get another position at once. Mr. Matthews was educated in the public schools of the town and at Xewberry college and then graduated in a business school and is a very competent book-keeper. He was married about a year ago to Miss Lillie Richatfson of Barnwell. The Herald and News regrets to see him leave'the bank and the town, because we hate to see our young men go away, but when they can get better positions it is their duty to go. And we wish him mighy well whereever his lot may be cast. The Presbyterial Missionsrv institute will be held at Smyrna church the loth cf August.
