The Meeting in Detail.
County Chairman J. B. Bell called
the meeting to order at 11:30.
Invocation by Dr. Simms.
Mr. H. .1. Gignilliat, of Oconee
county, the first candidate for rail
road commissioner, said in part, that
this was his first appearance before
the people of the State for election
to any office, and called attention to
the fact that all of his opponents had
the advantage over him by having had
previous political preferment. Mr.
Gignilliat consumed the balance of his
time in reading some endorsements
from his own people.
Capt. J. G. Mobley, of Fairfield
county, the next candidate, said in
part, that Gaffney has progressed
wonderfully but that she had not
been treated fairly by the Southern

John to so many days in jail. It was
before the adoption of the chain

carry out the sentence at the court
by taking the prisoner to jail, John
told the judge he would take the com
mitment and report to the sheriff in

and gave him the papers. Meeting
Esq. Huggins John had him to ex
