MASS Meeting HELD
HERE MONDAY
EFFORT TO GETLONGER TIME ON
FERTILIZER NOTES--SEED
COTTON UNDER BAN.

In response to the call of certain
petitioners, published in The Record
November %, about 200 representa-
tive citizens from all parts of Will
liamsburg gathered in the court
house Monday at l o'clock p m, to
discuss various matters for the good
of our county and it's people.
Mr. Philip Stoll being requested to
act as chairman, the meeting was
called to order. Mr. C w Wolfe
was appointed secretary.
In stating the object of the meet
Mr. J J M Graham explained that the
Farmers Union of Williamsburg
county had recently passed a resolu-
ton to ask all the fertilizer compa-
nies doing business in the State to
change the time of maturity for
notes given for fertilizers from No.
vember to February.
Mr. Graham stated that this meet
ing had been called to discuss this
and other important public ques-
tions.
At this juncture it was moved and
ordered that a committee of three
be appointed to frame a resolution
requesting the fertilizer companies
to extend the time of payment on
notes until February of the ensuing
year. Messrs w C Wilson, J ] M
Graham and C w Wolfe were ap-
pointed on this committee, which
submitted the following:
BE it resolved, by the farmers
and business men of Williamsburg
county in mass meeting assembled,
at Kingstree, S G., this 4th day of
December, 1911;
THAT, in accordance with the res
olution recently adopted by the
Farmers Union of Williamsburg
county, we do hereby ask that notes
given for fertilizers in any year
hereafter be made payable February
/, instead of November l, as is the
custom now prevailing; and We
pledge ourselves to use no fertilizers
from any concern that will not make
it's notes payable on February l Of
the ensuing year. We further ask
the earnest cooperation in this mat
ter of all business men in our county
and our State"
The resolution being read, some
discussion followed. Mr. ] c Graham
thought it better to have notes to fall
due on different dates. say in three
payments, January, February and
March. Mr. w C Wilson suggested
that if the fertilizer companies had
to wait longer for their money they
would expect the consumer to pay
interest.
Mr. E C Epps moved to amend the
resolution so as to make the notes
for fertilizers fall due not EARL er
than January Is. This amendment
was carried.
After some discussion it was de-

cided that the same committee who
framed the resolution, have num-
Der of copies printed and send them
to every fertilizer concern doing
business in the State. To give fur
ther publicity the local correspond
ents of the daily papers were re-
quested to send a copy of the
resolution to the papers they repre-
sent.
The fertilizer question being thus
disposed of, Mr. J ] M Graham
brought up the illicit traffic in
whisky, stating that he had inform
alton that Governor Blease said that
he could send no detectives here, as
no funds were provided, so that it
seemed, continued Mr. Graham, that
we are at the mercy of the blind IL
gers-or blind devils, 'as he termed
them. This led to a statement from
Senator Epps, which was confirmed
by Sheriff Graham, that the delega.
ton had allowed the Sheriff con-
tingent fund up to 81 900 to employ
detectives to check this evil. The
Sheriff went on to say that he had
made an honest effort to punish
these law-breakers, but" said he,
what can | do, when no man will
swear out an affidavit against one of
them?"
Next, the subject of putting a
prohibitory license on the seed cot
ton traffic. This matter was dis
cussed at some length and motion
was made and carried by large
majority that our Legislative del
egation be requested to try to amend
the law so as to increase the license
for selling seed cotton in Williams
burg county to not less than 81, 500.
Senator Epps and Representatives
Graham and Chandler, who were
present, all expressed their desire to
carry out the wishes of the majority
of their constituents in 80 far as
they were informed.
The meeting lasted several hours
and the various matters were dis
cussed earnestly but without acri-
mony. All seemed to be imbued
with the spirit of Democracy-"th the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber"-and there is no doubt that this
friendly interchange of ideas will be
beneficial in many respects. Ali
right-thinking people are working
toward a common end, if we could
always understand the motives OF
our fellow man.

Copies Of the government statutes

Offices of the landoffice nor others in,

Congressman Hanna took the matter.
