MEETING AT UAGOOD.
Finley Addresses Sumter Agricultural
Society.

Hagood, May 1.-THE regular
monthly meeting of the Gen. Sum-
ter Agricultural society WAS held here
yesterday. The meeting was largely
attended by citizens from the sur
rounding country. The feature or the
meeting was the interesting address
delivered by Congressman d. E. Fin
ley, who spoke for about one hour on
the general topics of the day. After
the meeting a picnic dinner was
served. This society was reorganized
some time ago and will hold monthly
meetings at different points in this
section of the county. The meeting
I'm June will probably be held at Dali
zcll. The society is strictly agricul-
tural and the main object is the inn
provement of rural life and the gen.
eral betterment Of country conditions.

that the members of the band are full

liquor adjunct. and was raided by the
police and ceased to exist, not on ac-
count of Mr.. Williams untimely TAX
ing OFF. but simply because his imme-
date successor decided that for reasons
OF peace he would no longer wear the
shroud of Williams in the liquor busi-
ness. l am advised that the place
which Mr.. Williams once kept and
which is still conducted by his estate.
managed by one OF his immediate rel
atives. has, until very lately. and after
death, sold liquor. and sold il until
the policy of raiding began, and that
II was given up simply and solely be-
cause of the policy of raiding; and not
because Mr.. Williams was dead.
AS to the case of Hackett, it ap-
pears from the records of the fire de-
partment that his place caught fire on
April 3, and from the records of the
police court that 1t was partially
burned" Before this, the police had
persis.ently raided 1t and he was so
discouraged that he said "he was GO
ing to give up business" which, so
far as the liquor end OF it was con-
cerned, the police department has ev-
cry reason to believe had really hap
pened before the fire occurred. In a
short while thereafter. the place
took fire. You can draw your own
conclusions whether or not the close
sequence of the fire had any relation
to the persistent raids of the police
force. But the fact remains that be-
fore the fire, and because Of the raids.
he did go out of the liquor business,
which Is as the chief Of police has re-
ported.
None of us mortals can know
whether poor "Lewie" Williams, who
died In Greece on February 2, but who
was up TO that time running q liquor
business, even from that great dis
tance, in Charleston, thereupon went
to his eternal reward. or went to that
place of everlasting fire." which was
only intended for very bad people, un-
like us. Being very good people our
selves, we can, without presumption
assume that he must certainly have
met with the latter fate. II so, ther
my only comment Is that, notwith-
standing the eternal fire. Mr.. Williams
through his heirs, still persisted in the
liquor business until the police raids
began. After the police raids began
MIR. Hackett's liquor business ceased
to exist and in few days his general
business was completely demolished
by fire. In neither case of the Hack.
ett fire here nor the Williams fire
hereafter, did the fire have anything
to do with their going. Each wen,
out Of business because he was raided
out. stand upon the report of the
chief.
Dy the way, III the llSt OF those
furnished me as being in business
some time ago by you. do you not re-
call that. as / showed you in Colum-
bia, there was the name of one man
dead for three years? If because Will
liams Is dead, you conclude he is no
longer I'm business, why do you not APP
ply the same inference to your own
list which you told me you had gotten
from reliable" sources?

cases to your satisfaction.
Very truly yours,
