not have missed any of the\ doings of Mm
the convention so far as the electing wo?
of the delegates, because Boss Tof-^
bert had been over the State and had
given orders to his appointed County J*. 1
chairmen as to what to do in their* 00
-County Conventions and who to allow 1 on

"vention to. accept Rev. J. C. White Mai
pastor of the Zion Baptist Church, -l'l
as their chairman for the day, and -on
I- Rev. .White^Kot up and made a nice >c
