Representatives of Sumfer County Democratic Clubs Fix Assessments That Candidates Must Pay and Ar? range for Campaign. The Sumter County Democratic Executive Committee met in the Court House at 11 o'clock Saturday morn? ing, May 8th. When the meeting was called to order by County Chairman J. H. Clifton a quorum was present and within a few minutes several oth? er committeemen came in and only three or four clubs were unrepresent? ed. The first matter taken up was that of fixing the assessments to be paid by candidates. After an estimate of the absolutely necessary expenses of the two primary elections had been made up the assessments were fixed to raise the amount required, allowance being made for the small balance brought over from the last primary. The as? sessments are as follows: Senator, $60. Representative, $30. Judge of Probate, $35. Superintendent of Education. $50. Magistrates: Sumter, $25 Wedgefleld, $20. Dalzell, $15. Privateer, $10. Mayesville, $10. Bhltoh, $10. Rembert, $10. There was some difference of opin? ion as to the advisability of holding a scries of campaign meetings in the county as heretofore, some members of the committee favoring only one meeting and othem the usual number After a brief discussion Mr. J. , E. DuPre moved that the same number of meetings and the same places as in 1916 be held, seconded hy Mr. R. 11. Dinkins. Mr. W. O. Cair. moved to amend the motion by making the number of campaign meetings one :>nly at Sumter. Dr. Parier opposed the amendment and suggested that the places that desired the meetings dio.uld have them. Mr. Cain assented to this proposition and a canvass of the committee resulted in the adop? tion of a motion that county cam? paign meetings be held at the follow? ing places on the dates specified: Wedgefleld, August 9th. Rembert, August 13th. Dalzell. August 16th. Shiloh. August 20th. Sumter, (at night), August 23rd. Sumter, August 24th. On motion, it was decided that can iidates must file the pledge required ny the rules of the party and pay the issessmcnt fixed by the committee on >r before noon August 8th, the day irevious to the opening of the county campaign. A motion was adopted that the pay >f managers and clerk at the pri nary elections shall be one dollar per lay each, and that the manager who monies for and returns the box shall ?e allowed live cents per mile for ?omlng for the box, tickets, etc. before 'he primary and five cents per mile or returning the box after the pri? mary. The usual notice .as to the enroll nent of club members, giving the lames of enrollment committees of he several clubs and the location of ?he enrollment books, was ordered published. There being no further business, ?ho committee adjourned to meet throe days after the books of enroll? ment close on the last Tuesday in Iuly. unless called to meet sooner by the County Chairman.
