A special meeting of the New
berry County Democratic Execu
tive Committee will be held Satur
day afternoon at 3:(>U p.m. at
(lie Newberry County Court
House, according to an announce
ment made by B. V. Chapman,
chairman of the committee. Writ
ten notices have been sent to the
49 committeemen over the coun
ty by the committee secretary,
Mrs. A. H. Counts.
The special meeting is being
held to determine what action to
take in the nomination of a Clerk
of Court to succeed Gurdon Counts
of Prosperity, who was nominated
in the primary on July 8th.. Mr.
Counts died Sunday.
According to Chairman Chap
man, when insufficient time is
left after a resignation, withdrawal
or death of a nominee before the
General Election, the County
Democratic Executive Committee
has power to act, either to nomi
nate a substitute or to leave the
ticket open for any and all who
wish to make the race.
Two candidates have definitely
announced intentions of seeking
the nomination. They are Mrs.
Gurdon Counts, widow of the late
nominee, and Walter T. Lake, who
was a candidate in the July pri
mary and who was defeated by
Mr. Counts by a vote of 3824 to
2190.
Mr. Chapman stated that sever
al others have mentioned entering
the race if th*> committee decides
to leave it open. Should the com
mittee nominate a substitute, it
will still be possible for other can
didates to obtain the election by
write-in votes. It will be remem
bered that such a case occurred
when the late Commissioner Lorn-
inick died in office and the com
mittee placed the name of Mr.
Marrett of Chappells on the list.
However, Mr. Lominick’s son was
elected by a write-in vote.
