ELECTION CONTEST State Executive Committee Con siders Irregularities in Sixth District ? Columbia. Sept. 17.?The State I Democratic executive committee wiflj have to hold another meeting- in Co lumbia next Tuesday to pass on the contest in the Sixth Congressional District between E.. J. Sherwood of Horry County and P. H. Stoll of Wil liamsburg. The committee was unable to pro ceed yesterday because the vote from I Dillon county had not been canvassed ; and returned to the State organization by the Dillon County executive com mittee. The State executive commit r tee sent a mandatory resolution to r A. B. Jordan, county chairman, and i other members of the county execu *f tive committee that they meet next . Friday and canvass the county re turns and report promptly. Much of the time of the meeting yesterday was given to a discussion ?f Just how severely the State com mittee should be in dealing with the laxity arid difference of the Dillon ; county committeemen for failure to . comply with the party regulations. John Gary Evans, State chairman, was of the opinion that they should ?be giveiv another opportunity to meet the requirements of the party, and s Should there be any further dilatory ?ction in taking care bf the regis tered will'-of the people that the, State committee should strike with a j "mailed fist." I Mr. Evans cited the State statute ) \ for enforcement of the party regula tions, which imposes a fine of not more than $500 nor more than six months -imprisonment, or both, in the ? 'discretion of the court, for infraction of the" rules or failure to comply with; ' the regulations!. ! In the Seventh District Ed C. Mann of St. Matthews. Calhoun County, was declared the nominee of the party to succeed A. F. Lever, over George Bell Timmerman of Lexington. The vote in the Seventh District was: Mann. 5.224": Timmerman. 4,702, which gave Mr. Mann a majority of 522. As soon as the committee was call ed together at noon in the State lib ary yesterday a committee composed of Gen. Wilie Jones of Columbia. S. HL McGhee of Greenwood, W. c. Wil son of "Williamsburg.- together with Ashley C. Tobias, 'Jr.. secretary of the State Deniocrtaic executive commit tee, was appointed to tabulate the vote of the Seventh District. This was completed with dispatch ami the official report adopted. The committee then proceeded to a consideration off the. vote from the Sixth. In that Dillfon had failed to canvass and report the committee's hands were tied. A general discus sion was then begun as to the fail ure of Dillion to send in its vote and just what action the State committee j should take. Ther? was an uhdercur- j rent of feeling that the committee i should d^are the result of the elec- i tion on tne ?ace of the returns'from i the seven counties which had report* ed, but the position taken was that the people of Dillion county had registered their will in the election and that their rights should be pre served despite the failure of the coun ty executive committee to meet and send in the official tabulation. I A somewhat prolonged debate was S precipitated as to the lanprnagre which Ishould be employed in the resolution, j whether the committee should merely I "request" the county authorities to ^act or give a mandatory order to "re ? quire" action. The latter wording fin jally prevailed and Mr. Tobias was in jstructed to send copies of the resofa, i lion to each member of the county executive committee. Immediately ; after the committee had adjourned a i telegram was received giving the Dil ! Ion vote as follows: Sherwood. 822; ! Stoll, 193. Mr. Sherwood on the face jof the returns has a lead of 41 votes. The following resolution was adopt jed: "Whereas the executive commit-. ; t?e of Dillon county has failed to certi jfy the returns of the primary held Ithe 9th inst. for the selection of ? nominee of the party for congress in ! t'.le Sixth^ District, therefore, j "Be it resolved that the executive committee of Dillon county be and ! tltey are required to meet at Dillon I court house on Friday, September is, J T.J19. and certify forthwith the returns I o::' the primary election to the secre ] tg.ry of this committee as required by j law." I Both candidates are contesting the i election. Mr. Sherwood objects to 94 i votes cast at Carver's Bay No. 1, [ Georgetown county, on the ground I that the regulaf official tickets were \ not used, and also to 266 votes at j Andrews, where he declares the rules I of the Australian ballot system were j not enforced. He alleges also that vctes were cast by parties not entitled J to vote at this precinct, j Mr. Stoll claims that certain soldier } vctes im Horry County were counted i twice of which votes he says Mr. j Sherwood received 207 and he receiv ed five. j The official vote by counties as ve 1 ported to Mr. Tobias follows: Sixth District.

DALZELL SUB SCRIBES $21,000 Enthusiastic Cotton Associa- j tion Meeting Held Mon day Night Between pighty and one hundred citizens of Providence township at 'tended the meeting* of the American Cotton Association at Dalzell-^school j house. last night. Twenty-one thou jsand dollars were subscribed by those I present as stock in the association to I purchase all cotton offered below the j minimum price fixed for cotton by the ! New Orleans conference. ! Messrs. L. D. Jennings. T. J. Kirven. jand E. I. Keardon, of the Sumter; J county division attended the meet j ing. and Mr. L. D. Jennings made one j of the most impressive and convinc-' ing speeches ever heard in this coun ty, and the audience was enthused and frequently applauded his utter ances. He stressed the importance of p. : p->anent organization, not only of j the icitcT1 growers, but of the coop erative fcrad with merchants, farmers, j bankers, lawyers, doctors, and em j ployees of every profession, trade, j and occupation, to help the farmers ? get a living price for their cotton. j He believed that previous tempor ary farmers* organizations had acconi ; plished something, but they have not I kept the farmers permanently or ! ganized in efficient style to secure tan gible results of a lasting charactei*. Passing resolutions is not sufficient, (carrying out. of resolutions with defi ! nite results is what counts. We must ! arrange to get possession of every i bale of cotton, as far as possible, that ? is offered for less than the minimum [ price fixed, and keep the cotton spec j ulators and cotton mills from getting j this cotton, if the association is to win the fight for a decent living price. The merchants, bankers, lawyers, doctors, dentists, employees, people of every occupation and business, I except the cotton spinners, cotton oil j mills, and cotton gamblers, are vital j ly interested in the cotton farmers j getting a reasonable profit making i price for their cotton and cotton seed. ] Therefore the banding together cfv a I number of influential forces instead j of Aie organization simply of the j farmers, to Cooperate with the com ! bihed money, brains, organization ef i ficiency, and facilities of these forces j so vitally interested in each other? j prosperity is the secret of the suc j cess of the American Cotton Asso ! ciation. j A number of those present joined , the association, to help put over the i plans for buying up and holding off j the market the thousands of bales sold r for less than its value and which de j press the price of cotton, j Mr. J. C. Dun bar presided over the ! meeting, and was instrumental largely j in securing a splendid attendance of j the meeting. - After the meeting numbers of J farmers said that they were glad the ' meeting had been held and the ob jects of the association so thoroughly ! explained as many did not understand Having dsne my bit in keeping the boys warm in the trenches I have now returned to my old Camping Ground where I have made headquarters among you . for more than 30 years. "I know you missed me during those cold winter nights when you were shivering with cold, but it was not my fault.

FARMERS' SPECIAL FULTD ft MOTOR TRUCKS FAR MING DALE , LONG ISLAND The most economical truck on the mar ket today. Why? Because every ounce of fuel energy is turned into useful driving power, due to the "Triple-Heated" gas fea ture. The FULTON is equipped with the Herschell-Spillman motor, the same motor used- in the Curtis Airplane. H. T. EDENS, Cotton Planter. Dalzell, S. C, March 17, 1919. Anchor Motor Co., Sumter, S. C. Gentleni en: J have owned a.FULTON irurk for five months and it has been put to a severe test daily during that ;ime in farm work and has given perfect satisfaction in every way. 1 cheerfully recommend ihe FULTON to my brother farmers as this truck has never failed me. Although this is a 1 1-2 ton truck?3.000 pounds capacity?I have hauled eight 500 bales of cotton :.. on ? time?4.000 pounds, with ease, at the speed of fifteen mTcs p r hour over ordinary roads.
