COUNTY PRIMARY TO BE HELD —5 'Executive Committee"of AVayne County Mee^ And v Adopts RuIes--CoI. C. C. T/ndali Re=e ed Chairman of Committee. The Democratic Executive mittee of Wayne county met the Court house here for the purpose of taxing a date the ,, county primary, tor the , , ‘ tion . or county officers, ... and , tor , . purpose of reorganizing, in pliance with a call issued Chairman Tindall, about weeks ago. It was decided that a election for county officers held on August 22d, the date fixed by the State Committee for State officers. was deemed the better fdan to both primaries on the same and thereby save the people of county the trouble and expense holding two separate primaries. Col. C. C. Tindall was ed chairman by acclamation I). S, Price was likewise elected secretary, both for a term of years. The following resolution was offered by JudgeS. R. Harris, Col. Joseph A. Morris and Hon. E. Harper, who were by tin' chair to draft rules and resolutions. "Resolved, that the Executive committee of county, in meeting regularly sembledcondeio ns the and unjust rules imposed upon fPftqple of Georgia by the Democratic Executive tee.” The above resolution was dopted by the committee. The Executive Committee of W county is composed of some of best and most loyal democrats bu they do not believe in the and partisian rules adopted by state democratic executive com¬ mittee, in trying to drive from oils, men whom they have ted for years past to return affiliate with the democratic just because it was thought those who hove the shaping of rules of the State exec n tiue com¬ mittee that these men. or a ity of them together with democrats who are striving break up ring rule and put ring politicians out of a job in Georgia, would cast their ballots for the Hon. Hoke Smith. • the people’s candidate for Governor, The people want fair play, and it is very singular, that the stitae.Dem ocratic Executive Committee, which is composed of politicians from different parts of the state, should for years invite alll white voters to participate in their state primaries, and at this time when Hoke Smith enters the race to make the fight for the people and against the yang that has been dominating the state for many years, passes such stringent rules and tries to keep them from the polls. We commend the Demo¬ cratic Executive Committee for condeming these unjust rules that do not represent the wishes of one tenth of the best democrats in .Use >tate. They were adopted at this time simply for political pur . poses. Following are the rules addopt . ed b.v the Wayne County Execu tive Committee and to which can¬ didates and voters will be required to conform: Resolved. 1st. That a primary for the selection of candidates for county officers be held on the 22nd, day of August Ipbti. at which tmie all Democratic .white voters " are otherwise qualified, are here by declared eligible to participate in said primary. Resolved 2nd. TJiat all other white voters who wish to align themselves with the Democratic party who will pledge themselves to support the nominees of the Democratic party are hereby de¬ clared eligible to vote in said. Dem ocratic primary. Resolved 3rd. That there shall be but one official ballot and no candidate’s name shall appear on said ticket unless his assessment is paid to D. S. Price, secretary by the 7th, day of August 190(5., and said candidates shall be assessed ! as follows: for the purpose, of de fraying „ ... the lnciclcntal t expenses * holding . .. said . . election, , primary That each candidate for senator be assessed SI0.00 That each candi¬ date for representative be assess¬ ed 810.00. That each candidate for clerk of the Superior court be assessed 810.00 That each candi¬ date' for sheriff lie.assessed $7.50. That each candidate for every oth¬ er county office he assessed 85.00 with tin' exception of the coroner. Candidates for that office shall be assessed 82.00 each. Resolved 4th. That the secre¬ tary of this committee, be instruc¬ ted to have copies of this resolu¬ tion printed and mail a copy there¬ of to each announced candidate. Jesup vs. Patterson.
