Looks Dark for Gin House. Chairman Coffee Refuses An vestigation of the Primary Held Last week. Has it come to this? Is it possi ble that no fair and legal election, even a primary, can be held in Wil cox? The law governing -Primary elections is the same that govern general elections, therefore it is as equally essential that Primaries should be held legal and right as any other election. The Chronicle does not espouse the cause of any of the candidates in the lie Id, when it takes the position that an investigation of the management of the Primary in <>Giu House” precinct is necessary. Our position is based on the follow ing reasons, to-wit: 1 st. it is openly dtelared that during tlie day, while voting was in progress, a man very much under tlie influence of “John Barley Corn,” took possession of the ballot box, tore up several tickets, and scattered many of them over the floor, fired off his pistol and run the managers away from their post of duty. 2nd. That these tickets, torn and strewn around, were afterwards gathered up, or at least tickets were gathered up, and placed back in the ballot box. 3rd. 1’arties‘have made affidavits that they east votes for candidates, at that precinct, whose name do not appear in the returns, etc. If these facts and allegations are not sufficient for, at least a reassem bling of the Executive Committee, that they may be denied or sus tained, then we are willing to go foot for being si fool and not having a proper conception • of how such things should be done. The Chronic*,e does not make any of the alsove charges, hut they are made, and reflect on the good people of Gin House district, and leave a serious doubt in the minds of many as to who are the rightful nominees of said Primary. We do not impugn Chairman Coffee's motive for not wishing to call tlie executive Committee to gether for this investigation, but we do question the wisdom displayed. The Chronicle stated last week some facts which do not appear in this article, subsequently the above, which led up to an additional effort to get a hearing for yesterday. 1- P Wimberly acting as Secretary in the place of M. E. Land, at the request of several of the Committee, wrote Chairman Coffee and other members of the Connnitteqjurging a meeting for the 17th. Below we give the correspondence between Wimberly and Coffee. Abbeville. Gu., Aug, 12, 1898. P. II. CoiTKK, Chiu. Ex. Co.:— You are requested to meet with the.
