Public Meeting - Senator Maxwell!
Endorsed.
GREENWOOD, S. c., Sept, s, 1877.

GREENWOOD, S. c., Sept, s., 1877.
Pursuant to call, a public meeting was
hold in Aikcn's Hall, in relation and 70
lation to tho published viows Of Senator
Maxwell on tho subject. of tho new coun-
ty.
After Senator Maxwell had freely ex-
pressed himself, On motion Of MIR. A. NJ.
Aiken the following preamble and rcso-
lutiohs were adopted.
Whereas, different constructions have
been given to Senator MaXwolFs response
to "Many Democrats" and whereas he
has, in apublic mooting explained his po-
to our entire satisfaction, therefore. re-
solved.
LIST, That it is tho sense Of this meeting
that the article of "Many Tax Payers"
in the last issue of the Press and B0nner,
is unjust and uncalled for. That Senator
Maxwell has done nothing to establish
said county, and in reply to "Many Dom
ocrats," recognizing the right Of
the people to his views as their repre-
sentative, has frankly, freely and fear
lessly declared his purpose to be govern
ed by u majority Of the bona file citizons,
(propcrty holders) in each and all three
localities Of which said county is propos-
cd TO bc formed. Il loss frank express
sion would have been unworthy tho po-
sition of Senator, or a worthy reprosen-
tativo Of the people.
I'd, That in the opirion of this meeting
tho above position Of Senator Maxwell is
correct.
Bird, That whilo we endorse tho views
of Senator Maxwell rs above expressed,
We do not thereby commit ourselves to
tho proposition for q now county, but re-
affirm our opposition tllorcto.
On motion, ordered that these proceed
ings DO published in Press and Banner
and Medium. j. II. PARKS,
Chairman.
