(\ The State Democratic executive j committee in special session in Co. j lumbia Tuesday did not open lists for j e entries in the race for U S Senate;;! e but 'devoted practically the entire j 0 session to villifying former Governor 0 Blease. The attack upon Mr Blease c was launched in an address by the a State 'Chairman John Gary Evans \ j who read a prepared statement de- j ^ nouncine the fomer governor stat- j w 1 I * ing that charges of fraud in regard | n to previous elections had been called ^ to the attention of the former state, t committee by the Reform Party and e had been openly made by Mr Blease ^ with regard to the seating of Gov j ^ Manning in 1916. In a partisan man J ^ ner Mr Evans also referred to the j ^ Blease-McLaurin-Aull statements re j f cently published and stated that both! a Blease and McLaurin should be kick j 0 ed out of tl?e Democratic Party. j y , .. VOTERS MUST REGISTER. (d !r f This is the year for all voters who | n expect to participate in the Novem j i: ber general election to re-register.! t The county board of registration for | c Lexington, Ben F. Derrick chairman J. Weir Addy, and W. B. Rhoden?j h will keep their office open in the! e county court house every day, ex j v cept Sunday, during the months of! July and August for the convenience j of the voters and in compliance with the law. So far comparatively few 11 new certificates have been issued by | c the board. The intense interest, how! j ever that has already been aroused in the race for the United States senate j ( and for Congress, will doubtless' c cause heavy registration from this i r time on. | j Mrs. Ida Sammis, of Huntington i j L.
