Tbe secretary, R W Hudson, read tbe call under which the con mitten assembled Tbe cbeirman stated tbat, befors going into tbs ragular business, be would request the committee to taku up a matter which bad been brought up from tbe Earle club, with reference to changing tbe place of meeting : that Mr W G Wells wes present representing those who did not desirs tbe place of meeting changed, and suggested that it would be ad? visable to grant Mr Wellr> tbe privilege of the floor. This was done Mr. Wells stated that tbe Earle club met oo tbe Saturday before tbe couo?y convention with seven members present, so be bad under? stood ; tbat ths placs of meeting was changed from Hodges' Store to Tiodal's store. Tbe Karle club was formed io 1886 or 1888 for tbs oonvsoiencs of persons living in tbs South? eastern partioo of Privateer township. Prom tbat time until now ths club has always polled a good vote-?sometimes over one hun? dred. This was caused in a large measure by tbe location of tbe club. He claimed tbat the ends for which tbe club was organised nave been reached sod tbat tbe move would not accommodate tbe members liviog io the lower section of tbe townslrp He said tbat after the first meeting then wes greet dissat? isfaction expressed, and ths men who were dissatisfied requested tbat a. meeting of tbe club be called to consider tbe question, aod tbat not one-fifth of tbe membership of tbe club was present at tbe second meeting, owing to insufficient notice. He understood tbe second meeting endorsed tbe action of tbe first Tbe members who were dissatisfied met last Friday sfcernoon at Hodge's store aad organised ss a new club, with more than forty o embers Tbs name of tbe new club .s Barle No 1, aod tbey came before tbe execu? tive committee asking for recognition. Tbey were all democrats and only desired tbe priv? ilege of a cetirjg at Hodge's store to accommo? date tbat large mats of people who will go nowhere else to vote He disclaimed any in? tention of organizing io tbe interest of any cendidate. There was do politics io it at all. He banded in a liat cf th* officers and mem? bers of tbe new club. Mr. H. Drane Ttndall said tbat oo the day tbat the Earle clnb reorganized a maj irity of tbe members weot to a BaDtist meeting at Manning, sod ih issccoooted for the small attendance He made a statement as to the reorganization and moving of tbe club. He bad tbe resolution writteu which was offered by Mr. W. D. Oateeo aod was unanimously adopted. It was decided that if there was any complaint, or if a majority of the club desired it, tbat the action would be reconsid? ered Tbey heard of complaint, and a meet? ing was called by tbe president of the club, Mr. H W Cuttino. At this meeting 22 ' voted for Tindall's store as a meeting-place and 3 for Hodee'u store. He haoded in a letter signed by J M. Hodge, W. R. Simpson aod Wes Rolb, asking him to see W L Oiteen aed have their names taken off the list of the ic embers of the t ew c'ub, as they signed the paper thinking it was only to cail a meeting of tae Earle cluh On monon Messrs J W Broadway and W L Oateeo were given the privilege of tbe floor Mr Oateen replied to some statements of Mr Tindall which he said were incorrect. Mr Wells reiterated his statement tbat there was oo politics io tbe matter, and, in answer to a question of Mr Tindall, disclaimed any intention of redeciiog upon any one when he said tbey were alt Democrats and had al? ways voted tbe Democratic ticket. Maj Marion Mo se took the floor and re? viewed both sidts of the east*, spying that he did oot think the committee yet bad sufficient ligbt io act understandingly. Capt D E Keela said be thought the com? mittee should go slow io this roatter?tbat ne agreed with Mej Moise io what be bad said. He said th^t as the Karle cluo had reorgan? ized aod had bran recognized by the county convention, aod the election of its member of tbe executive committee confirmed by the convention, tbat the committee could not go behind tbat. He hi Id tbat it was unco'Sti tutiooal to recognize the new club ; that if they went she d and cast their votes as a separate organization io thj primary that be bad no idea tbat the county executive com? mittee would count them, and if it should that certainly the State executive comm ttee would oot. The question was further diecuesed bv Messrs J L Parrott, Edwin Wilson, J T Fricson and M Moise. Io response to a request thecbaifman ruled that no new cluh could be formen after tbe time specified io tbe conititutioo of tbe party. Tbe matter was finally disposed of by the passage of tbe following resolution introduced by Msj. Moise and which received but one negative vote, that of Mr H D Tindall: Resolved, Tbat it ie the sense of this com? mittee ibat the president of tbe Earle club give 15 days notice of a meeting of tbe club to be held at H odge's Store, for tbe purpose of taking a vote, as to tbe place of meeting of ?aid club, said ootice to be posted io at least 8 places. Tbe vote to be taken by tbe mem? bers of tbe club as fairly enrolled by tbe time of said meeting Mr W 0 Wells expressed himself as satis? fied with tbe action and thanked tbe com? mittee for its courtesy io giving him a bear? ing. Un motion of M?j. Moise tbe chair was iostructed to appoint al his leisure, the regu lar committees to have charge of the arrange? ments for tbe Slate cnroi aigo meeting to be held in Sumter on Tuesday, June 26;h. The chairman appointed a committee con? sisting of Messr?.
