Meeting at State Fair Advocated
Action by Governor That is
Neither Legal or Wise
CALCULATED TO .e.s~
INJURE CAUSE
Gov. Cooper Takes Safe and Sane
View of the Situation and
Gives Reasons for Refusing
to Act as Suggested

Columbia, Oct. Considerable
surprise has been manifest among Of
fcials and prominent citizens OF the
state over the action of the farmers
meeting at the. state fair grounds on
Wednesday, in the adoption of resolU~'
tions calling on Governor CoopeT
call an extra session of the legislatdl
for the purpose of enacting legislation
poStponing the time for farmers to
pay their taxes and penalizing farm
ers who plant more than two-thirds OF
their acreage this year in 1921 cotton,
and urging the governor, to issue a
proclamation calling on the gfnnerS OF
the state to cease operations for thirty
days.
Governor Cooper stated today that
he would not call the extra session. He
said it was unnecessary, and unadvis-
able. He stated that the te, ms of the
present legislators expire: in Move n
ber, and by the time the new legis-
lators could be sworn in and assem-
blei in Columbia there would not be
time for any legislative action much
before the regular session of the gem
eral assembly, which convenes in Jam
uary "r'"
Governor Cooper has also received
advices to the effect that any effort
on his part to have the gins closed
down would not meet the approval Of
the farmers generally nor of the GIN
ners. 1t was stated at the governors S
office that the executive took the po-
sition that he would * have no more
right to ask the gins. to close down
than he would 20 have the IiierchaIts
