(iuests of Judge Griggs at
Dinner.
An enthusisstic and harmoni¬
ous meeting of the Democratic
Executive Committee was held in
the justice court room of Alba¬
ny’s handsome new court house
on Thursday of last week. The
meeting was an important one
for, in addition to naming a date
for a primary for the nomination
of a congressman for the 59th
congress, the committee passed
a resolution providing for a nom¬
inating convention to be held in
the city of Albany shortly after
the primary.
The counties represented at the
meeting were: Baker, by J^ohn
O. Perry; Calhoun, C. J. Davis;
Colquitt, C. Jh Allen;
ty, R. Hobbs; Miller, J. B. Pal
mer proxy: Quitman, II. M. Me

H. Kiddoo; Terrell, by C. B. Yeo
man, proxy; Thomas, by
Triplett; Worth, by W. A. Allen;
Berrien, Clay, Decatur and Ear¬
ly were not represented at the
meeting.
The meeting was called to or¬
der shortly after noon by Capt.
R. Hobbs chairman of the com¬
mittee. Mr. H. M. McIntosh was
named secretary of the meeting
by the chair, and it was then
ready for the business that was
to come up. Judge W. H. Kid¬
doo, of Randolph, introduced the
following resolutions, which were
re;d by the secretary:
Resolved 1st, That a conven¬
tion of the Democratic party of
the Second Congressional District
be held at Albany, Georgia, at
twelve o’clock m. on Friday the
29th day of April, 1904, to nomi¬
nate a candidate of the party for
the Fifty-ninth Congress; elect
a new executive committee, and
to do such other acts for the good
of the party as the convention
may deem proper, in which con¬
vention each county shall be en¬
titled to twice the number of
votes as it has members in the
legislature.
Resolved 2nd, Thataprimary
election be held in the several
counties of the Second Congress¬
ional District on the'YOth day of
April, 1904, by the same mana¬
gers and under the same rules
and regulations as has been pro¬
vided for by the state executive
committee fer the state primary
election; at which primary the
voters qualified under said rules
and regulations shall vote, on the
same ballot to be used in the state
J primary candidate election, for direct and foj the a
Congress; ’
several county executive com¬
mittees of said district shall
ascertain and declare the result,
and shall, from the active sup¬
porters of the person who shall
receive the highest number of
votes, appoint delegates to the
congressional convention provid¬
ed for in the first resolution.
Judge K'ddoo’s motion to adopt
j this resolution was seconded and
Mr. McIntosh addressed the
meeting, stating that the resolu¬
tion provided for a return to the
old system of district conventions
but did not impair the primary
system in force for the past sev
j eral years. Under the present
system, when no nominating
conventions have been held, the
'party organization in the district
had suffered, he said. The con
j vention was provided more on
j account of its effect on the party
organization than on the pri
jmary. When the taken vote they on the
resolutions was were
unanimously adopted.
On motion the newspapers
throughout the district were re¬
quested to publish the resolution
as adopted by the committee.
No further business the mem¬
bers of the committee accepted
an invitation “to dine with Judge
J. M. Griggs, by proxy” Messrs.
H. M. McIntosh and Col. W. E.
Wooten, representing Judge
Griggs, who was detained in
Washington on account of sick¬
ness of his mother.
Mr. McIntosh explained that
Judge Griggs had wanted to en¬
tertain his friends and come in
close personal touch with dis¬
tinguished members of his dis¬
trict and that ho thought, hav¬
ing no opposition this year, he
could, with propriety, entertain
them at djpner. Judge Griggs
had wired that he was keenly
disappointed at not being able to
be present and at being forced to
surrender to others the pleasure
of entertaining the members of
the committee.
The convention then adjourn¬
