executive COMMITTEE MEET?
ING?
Dentoerntic Clubs Reorganized In?
der tlie New Rules Promulgated by
the Recent State Convention.
The Sumter County Democratic
Executive Committee met in the court
houso at noon Monday, pursuant to
the call of County Chairman J. H.I
Clifton, to define the club districts
of the several clubs of the county and
to make provision for the enrollment
of the Democratic voters of the coun?
ty in clubs, as provided for in the new
rules of the party.
All clubs were represented by their
executive committeemen, except1
Reid's club. The committee got down
to work immediately upon being call?
ed lo order, the roll call showing
that a quorum was present.
The only question that provoked
tiny discussion was the construction
of the rules in reference to the loca?
tion of club districts in respect to
township lines. It was decided that
the rules required that the club dis?
tricts be confined to townships?that
a club district could not be made up
of territory partly in one township
and partly in another. As a result of
this determination it was necessary to
consolidate Manchester club with
Reid's club, under the name of
Reid's club, with its voting place at
Greenland Savannah school house,
sud to order the organization of a
new club in Manchester township to
bo known as Manchester club, with
its voting place at old Manchester de?
pot. The old Manchester club was
composed cf members living in Man?
chester and Privateer townships, with
its voting place at Greenland Savan?
nah school house, in Privateer town
Hhip, and there was no club located
in Manchester township. Action was
also taken ordering the reorganisa?
tion el Salem club and the OhangC of
the voting place from Boykln's store
to Salem school house.
The club districts of all the clubs
were defined and their boundaries
were fixed by well known natural
and easily identified lines, and an
enrollment committee of thre* mem?
bers was appointed for neon, oluh,
When this work had been eomwleted
tb??- committee adjourned at 4.*j<? p
mv to lnt-.-i ;?t ?-all chairman. At
the. next meeting arrangements for
the county campaign will he made
and the assessments on candidates
will be Jlxed.
