I IS/' V In the past, the Democratic execu* ■tive committee in Barnwell County has had considerable trouble in the en~ rollment of certain voters who have desired to participate in some particu lar magistrate’s election. For jn- stance, a voter residing in Red 1 Oak township might desire to vote for a candidate in Barnwell township, or vice versa, and no matter how the committee decided the case there would he disswtisfact^n ter. In fact, this particular phase of the primary election has caused more confusion, unnecessary work and mis understanding than all the rest of it put together. Two years ago, in one particular case, it was necessary for the committee and a sub-committee to hold several meetings in an effort to determine the precinct at which a hand ful of voters should cast their ballots. A careful study was made of the facts in the case but when the decision was made there were charges of favorit- ism and fraud. This confusion has been caused by adhearing to the rule requiring voters to enroll in the club ,.vr' NOTICE TO CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND WIDOWS nearest his place of residence, ealeu - iated -by the nearest- piacttcnl- -route,- regardless of township lines.
