MET MONDAY. ^OFFICERS ELECTED AND DELE GATES TO STATE CONVENTION NAMED-EX. COM. MEETING. The "unterrified Democracy" of the grand old county of Williamsburg, responding to the call of the county chairman, gathered here Monday from all parts of the county to re-organize and hold their biennial conclave. The convention was called to order by Chairman Williams at 12 o'clock noon. Mr P H Stoll was made temporary chairman and Mr C W Wolfe temporary secretary. The roll of delegates was made up and it was found that twenty-seven clubs were represented, two?Prospect and Oak Ridge?having failed to re-organize. A motion prevailed that these clubs be authorized to reorganize and furnish the secretary the names of their officers and executive committeemen within thirty days from date. The total number of delegates present was 114. Alter enrolling the delegates and transacting other routine business the temporary organization was made permanent and officers were elected. Dr A H Williams was nominated lor re-election to the office of county chairman, the duties of which he has performed so faithfully for the past twelve years, but after appropriately expressing his appreciation ' of all the honors that had been bestowed upon him by the Democracy of Williamsburg county, he declined re-election, whereupon Messrs E C Epps and P H Stoll were placed in nomination. Mr Epps withdrew and Mr Stoll was elected without opposition.) Two nominations were made for member of the State executive committee: Messrs R H Kellahan and B B Chandler, Mr Kellahan being elected. There were quite a number nominated as delegates to the State convention, which meets in Columbia on May 18, but all declined but ten. As only eight could be elected the delegates were chosen by ballot with the following result: LeRoy Lee 88; J C.Graham 87; P H Stoll 85; E T Jiamer -82; Dr W C Hemingway 82; S M Askins 75; S B Poston 74; J J M Graham 68; W P Cause 55; M L Gasque 28. It was moved and ordered that the eight candidates receiving the highest vote be declared elected and the remaining two named as alternates. The following members of the executive committee were duly elected: Kingstree, C W Wolfe; Black River, D B Young; Cades, W E Nesmith; Scranton, W S Lynch; Central, W G Cantley, Jr; Salters.

Executive Committee Meeting. At 3 o'clock p m the executive committee was called to order by Chairman P H Stoll (the county chairman being also chairman of the executive committee). C W Wolfe I was re-elected secretary and treasurer. The report of the treasurer showed a balance in bank of $118.91, plus 4 per cent interest since Octo- ( ber, 1908, to the credit of the committee. Mr Carter moved that the managers of each primary election be paid , $1.00, the messengers $1.00 each and , mileage, and that the secretary and treasurer be allowed $25.00 for his services each election year. This motion was carried after being ^ amended so as to cut out the per , diem of the messengers, allowing them only five cents mileage. The following schedule of assess- . raents for candidates was adopted: State Senate, $20; House of Representatives, $15; auditor, $20; road engineer, $20; treasurerf$20; superintendent of education, $15. Also it was moved and ordered that each candidate for Congress in , the Sixth district be requested for a contribution of $10.00. A resolution was also solemnly adopted to double the assessments of every candidate who were elected without opposition. /. The matter of campaign meetings gave rise to some discussion and it was finally decided to hold six meetings, at the following places: Greelyville, Trio.Johnsonville, Lake City, Kingstree and Morrisville. On motion, the arrangements for the county and State campaign meetings were left to a committee of three, comprising me county cnairman and Messrs Davis and Wolfe.

It was with regret that his numerous friends in town learned of the determination of Mayor E Ladson Fishburne to cut loose from the associations and the home of his nativity and cast his lot with the good county of Williamsburg. The rumor could hardly be believed, but Mr Fishburne himself confirms it, and states that he will leave early in next month for his new home. Mr Fishburne will form a partnership with LeRoy Lee, Esq., for the practice of law. Mr Lee is one of the ablest members of the Kingstree bar, and enjoys a large and lucrative practice. In truth, his practice has grown to such proportions that he can no longer take care of it alone, and for this reason he wishes to associate with himself a vnnno-anri ahlp attnrnev. Mr Fishburne, believing the opening there offers better advantages than the Walterboro bar holds in store, decided to go in with Mr Lee. The firm will be Lee & Fishburne. Mr Fishburne is well fitted to make a great success in his new field. He was graduated from the Citadel in 1904 with the degree of B S. The next two years he taught in the graded school at Allendale, after which he returned to Walterboro and studied law in the law office of his father, Wm J Fishburne, Esq. Since his admission to the bar in 1907 he has been the junior member of the firm of Fishburne & Fishburne. In 1908 Mr Fishburne was elected mayor of Walterboro over several competitors by a very flattering vote, which office he has filled with ability and general satisfaction. For several years Mr Fishburne has-been connected with the local militia comparty as captain, and has just been unanimously elected major of the second battalion. Jt is the prediction of his friends here that Mr Fishburne will be heard from again in his new home. The Press and Standard wishes him well.? WaUerboro Prest ami Standard. Fire at Scranton. Scranton, April 28:?Last night, at about 11 o'clock, fire destroyed the pack house, barn, twenty-six bales of cotton, several tons of fertilizers, six or eight hundred bushels of corn, a reaper and binder and farming tools belonging to Mr R H Graham, who lives about one mile from town. Mr Graham was interviewed this morning and thinks it was set on fire by some one, bul as yet has no proof. Mr Graham's residence caught several times, but through the heroic work of his son Charlie, it was saved. The loss is about $6,000 or $7,000, and no insurance. Mr Graham is one of the mosi progressive and prosperous farmers in the county, and has the sympathj of the community in his great loss Ao Ideal Bosbaod is patient, even with a nagging wife for he knows she heeds help.
