COMMITTEE MEETING
The Woodruff County Dem
ocratic Central Committee met
at the court house in Cotton
Riant today, Friday,
Motion by Penrose prevailed
that Chairman appoint a sub
committee to canvass returns of
state ticket. Chairman ap
pointed G, G. McCrory, Ross
Mathis and H. O. Penrose who
canvassed every box except
Howell and Bullville which had
■lot been brought ip.
A petition was presented by
W. N. Wilkes asking that'the
ballots in Cotton Plant box be
examined.
Roy Campbell stated that if the
Cotton Plant box was to be ex
amined, every box in the county
must be done likewise. Eldridge |
stated that he was willing to
have all boxes examined. Mo
tion was made by Mathis, sec
onded by Campbell that all j
boxes be examined and same
prevailed unanimously.
Eldridge .moved that the two
candidates, Wilkes and Smith,
without jeopardizing any of
their legal rights in any way,
name two men each and the four
to name the fifth man as a com
mittee to examine the ballots of
each box. His motion was sec
onded by Mathis and was later
withdrawn. Campbell stated
that he thought Eldridge’s mo
tion fair and honest.
Eldridge amended his motion
so as to exclude the candidates
from naming the four men and
to let the chairman name two of
Wilkes’ friends and two of
Smith’s friends and they to se
lect the fifth man. The chair
man named Hazard and Shoup
of Augusta, Mathis and Camp
bell of Cotton Plant and they
unanimously selected Eldridge
of Gregory as the fifth man.
The latter gentleman absolutely
refused to serve and insisted
that he could not and positivaly
would not serve, but after every
one present demanded and in
sisted that he serve, he finally
agreed to do so.
The Central Committe ad
journed to meet in Augusta
Monday noon and hear the re
port of the sub-committee, and
as to who will be our next sher
iff we do not know.
Election Returns.
The Home News has done
erything possible at any expense
to give our readers the complete
election returns this weeh and
have delayed the paper, but all
in vain. The best we could do
was to get the official count for
state officers only in every box
except Bullville where about 20
votes were cast. We also give
the returns in the county races as
far as we could obtain, which
is not official. We only wish a
that we had a law requiriug the *
judges in each box to send the
complete vote to every newspa,
per in the county.
