V " i PMS'MKIIKSIIMIM constitution adopted at monday s meeting. | Articles of Argreement Patterned after a Similar Organization in North Carolina?Additional Officers ' Elected. The Peoples' Protective Associa- , tiOQ is the name adopted last M011 day for the organization formed several months ago in the interest of the farmers and those in sympathy with them as opposed to the oppressive power of the trusts. The special committee appointed at last meeting i reported throngh the secretary, Mr j P H Stoll, as to what had been done in the way of framing a constitution and bylaws for the government of the organization. In drafting the constitution the committee followed closely the articles of argreement of the North Carolina Farmers' Protective Association, which were so modified as to cQni form to the requirements of the Williamsburg county organization. As set forth in the preamble the ; object of the association is as fol- ( i lows: "Whereas, the general conditions that confront the farmers to-day imperatively demand that they be organized for the protection of their interests, the promotion of their general welfare, the social and educational advancemement of them and their children and securing to them I a just remuneration for their toil; ' now, therefore, for the securing of? these objects, we enter into the following articles of agreement." The articles of agreement as recommended by the committee were then taken tip section by section and adopted or amended by a viva voce vote. Under the scheme of organization adopted there will be an association formed in each township to meet ! monthly, the County* Association to be made up of delegates elected from the nnit or township association. The County Association is to hold meetings quarterly, on the first Mondays in January, April, July and October. The association is'to be kept free I ir l: iruui ptuueau puiiuito. The question as to whether the meetings should be secret or public elicited some discussion and a motion was finally adopted to have them public with the privilege of goiny j into executive session at any time. Under the constitution there sha 11 I be three vice presidents. This left tw > I to be elected and Messrs J J M Gru , I ham and W D Fitch were elected *. > j the vacant positions. | Mr P H Stoll was elected lectr rr ! for the association and a motion prevailed that the lecturer be instructed to visit each township as early as j possible. | Mr W W Kennedy moved that i there be a committee appointed con sisting of three in each township to ; report the true and actual crop conI ditions during the growing season. This motion was carried. I The officers of the Association i now stand as follows: President, J Davis Carter; /1st vice president J G McCullough; 2nd vice pres. J J M Graham; 3rd vice pre3., W D Fitch; secretary, C W Wolfe; lecturer, P H Stoll. In addition to the foregoing officers there will be also a board of advisers to ! cousist of one member from each | township, said advisers to be elected by a majority vote of the represent' cftives from the township organiza tions. While the meeting held on Mon day was not so large as it should have been a good deal of enthusiasm , was shown by those who were preseat. T.he Colombians have a wonderful loyalty for their constitution, so long as such a coarse-promises to pay better than a re vol utid*. TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS. Contests between Oemocrats and Republicans Decided in Several States. Elections were held in several States on Tuesday, November 2. The greatest interest was centered around the mayoralty contest -inGreater New York between George I B McClellan, sou of the Civil war ' general of the same name, who was ! the Democratic nominee for mayor, : and Seth Low, the Fusiorjist caudil date for re-election. The campaign between the two men was a remark- j able one, in which there were united j against McClellan practically every ! newspaper of note and nearly all I ministers of the city. It was thought j that the contest would be very close, but the returns indicate a sweeping victory for McClellan by a plurality of 70,000. In New Jersey the Republicans elected four of the six State Senators and enough of the geteral assembly to control both houses. The Republicans broke their record in Ohio by electing Myron T Herrick, Republican candidate for governor, over Tom L Johnson, Democratic candidate, by considerably^ over 100,000 majority. The re-election of Governor John C W Beckham, the Democratic nominee for governor of Kentucky, over | Morris B Belknap, the Republican, by a majority of 15,000 seems to be assured. Beckham's election is conceded. TnKr> T. "RatmiIiIir>?n_ was j re-elected governor of Massachusetts by a plurality of over 35,000. Maryland up to this writing is still in doubt but it is supposed that j the Democrats carried the State as th?y did the city of Baltimore. The elections in Virginia resulted ! in a sweeping victory for the Democratic State ticket. The Republicans claim Nebraska. William J Bryan's State, by a plurality of ] 2,000 against the Democrats and Populists. In Pennsylvania the Republicans' i won out as usual by heavy majorities. At midnight (Tuesday night) returns indicated the re-electior of Governor Garvin, Democra', by a small plurality in Rhode Island. Colorado is claimed by the Republicans by 5000 to 7000. Iowa's Republican governor Cum ! mins, is re elected by GO,000 plurality. The vote in Mississippi was light, ; the Democratic ticket being without opposition. llCI * <rfc" State Fair Visitors.
