The meeting of the American League
last night was packed and enthusiastic.
A large number of applications for
membership, some of them from we'll
known citizens, were received and ac-
cepted, and the finances of the organiza-
ton were reported to be in flourishing
condition. President Murray presided
and several speeches were made, many
of them red-hot ones, on the subject of
a Planters Republic. 1t was the unani-
NOUS and resonant opinion that the
Club should oppose such scheme in a
body and insist upon continuance,
through rain and shine, of the policy of
annexation. 1t was also determined
that the policy of securing representa-
ton in the Councils should be pressed
with vigor and determination.
The committee instructed to confer
with the directors of the STAR about the
candidacy of Mr.. Smith to the Ad visory
Council reported as follows;
