* NEGRO FARMERS' CONVENTION
Editor News:?The negro
farmers' convention met in the
Lancaster Normal Industrial
Institute, Lancaster, S. C., February
21, 1913, at 12 m. After
devotional exercises Prof. M. D.
Lee, D. D., arose and stated the
object of the meeting. First to
organize the colored farmers of
flio ^ ? 1 *
?..v vuuukjr iui mure enecuve i
agricultural developments along
scientific lines. Second to en- I
courage the nego farmers to ]
the great possibility of better- J
ing the conditions of the negro ,
race by making farming a pro- i
fession and that by giving
greater inspiration to the
ff younger generation who must
soon come on the stage of action
to take the places of the
fathers.
Third, to discuss methods to
be used to encourage the young
negroes to stay on the farm
where they can honorably serve
their day and generation in accumulating
wealth, and making
better citizens out of themselves.
Fourth, to organize corn clubs
and a county fair association,
where we can put our products
on the market to the credit of
the negro.
The meeting was largely attended
(notwithstanding the
weather was bad). The first
speaker introduced was Rev.
Richard Carroll, who took for a
subject, "The Necessity of
Greater Care for Dumb Animals."
He read the rules which
must be kept on his farms for
the protection of cattle and
horses; he truly made a great
speech.
He also delivered a fine address
in the court house to the
delight of both white and col,5/
ored who heard him.
Mr "R w ? o
? an tt ttcoucivi niter
addressed the colored farmers
on "How to Cultivate the Soil
for the Greatest Yield per acre
and How to use fertilizer and
the Kind to use." He is a farmer
by profession; he has his own
home and farms worth over
$25,000. has made it on
the farm and is in a position to
tell colored men what is in J
farming. The farmers were de-1
lighted with him and many of
the best farmers of the county
expressed themselves as having
been helped by having heard
him on the subject of farming.
Indeed he was master of the
subject of farming and how to
r handle fertilizers. |
The Colored County Fair was ;
organized. Prof. M. D. Lee was
unanimously elected president,
Mr. Henry Crawford, vice pres-1
. ident; Mr. J. W. Morris, secre- j
9 tary; Mr. R. B. Mobley, treas- ,
urer. The local vice presidents
were as follows: First town-1
ship, Rev. M. P. Powe; second,
itev. A. 1J. Tillman; third, Rev. Ij
W. M. Thompson; fourth Mr. S. I
J. Lindsey;; fifth, Dr. J. W. Sat- |!
terwhite; sixth, Mr. Ambrose I
Funderburk. j
People everywhere express I
themselves as being pleased I;
with the idea of having a col- ||
ored county fair and pledged I
their hearty support to tlu* I
president, Prof. M. D. Lee, to j
have one of the greatest exhibi-||l
tions ever held in the county. J |
Indeed everybody who attended I:
the farmers' convention seemed II
to have enjoyed themselves. ||
