FARMERS MEET AND
ELECT DELEGATES
A mass meeting of the farm
ers of Barnwell County xvas
held in the Court House on Sat
urday, the 16th inst., at 12
o’clock, to discuss the matters
and marketing of cotton. Upoiv
motion of Mr. R. C.-Holman,
Col. R. M. Mixon of Williston
was elected temporary chair-
man, and on motion of N. G.
W. Walker, John K. Snelling
was elected temporary secre
tary. Mr. J. A. Porter moved
that we elect delegates to rep
resent the farmers of Barnwell
County at the meeting to be
held in Columbia -on Monday
the 18th of November. Mr. Por
ter, in support of his motion,
made a very strong and intelli
gent speech, outlining many
matters of interest in the cot
ton situation. Col. R. M. Mix- 4 "
— »
on also delivered a very‘inter
esting and instructive speech
along the same lines.
The following gentlemen
were elected as delegates to the
Columbia meeting: R. M. Mix
on.'T. S. Cave, N. G. W, Walk
er, S. E. Moore, E. D. Peacock,
J. O. Patterson and John K.
Snelling.
The meeting consisted of
representative farmers
at j throughout Barttwell County!
mriand ^11 seemed to be interest
ed and enthusiastic. J. A. Por
ter moved that .this organiza
tion bepjnade permanent and
be known as Barnwell County
Cotton Association, and the
said motion was adopted with
out comment, and the follow
ing .executive committee was
(elected: J. A. Porter, S. E.
“Why, they’re exactly like
people!” The French rubbed
their eyes and stared again at I
the doughboys who had just
come among them. “They don’t
throw food at each other! They
haven’t tried to shoot up the
town! Look at them, will you,
walking around so quietly.
There’s some mistake. We
know all about the Americans.
Didn’t we see them long ago
with our owneyes in their Wild
West show? And don’t they
make us giggle every Saturday
night at the cinema?”!
It is a fact, we are assured,
that the good French people
were expecting an American

P!ea«o, allow me space to ex
press my deep appreciation of
lhtr-Tfspon.se made to the call
sent out to the women of Barn

at the Red Cross room for llie
purpose of organizing the town
for the United War Work.
Those thirty women who so
promptly left all personal af
fairs and put themselves on re
cord as willing workers in this
appeal of their Government cer
tainly showed the l ight spirit.
