pose of carrying out the objects OF
that call. 1t was one of the most
/: representative meetings that we have
ever seen assembled in Orangeburg,
land It meant business, too. If enthu-
1siasm and numbers mean anything.
Rev. Charles B. Smith, D. D., called
the meeting to order and opened
the proceedings with an earnest, fer
vent prayer for Divine guidance and
protection.

melting, and incidentally making
quite a little, eloquent speech, Mr.
Smith called for the nomination Of

ed much enthusiasm. He then said
that he would be glad to hear from
any present. This brought out Ma
jor w. L. Glaze, Capt B. H. Moss
and Mayor J. W. H. Dukes, all OF
whom heartily endorsed the move
ment, and thought it would accom-
plish great good. Mayor Dukes SAID
while he would not join the league

ready sworn to enforce the law, and
which he would do without fear
or favor, he was glad the league was
