The Call Meeting of the South Caro- ,
lina Farmers Union on 18th j
December. I
Here are a few tilings that the .le-j
h-.'ates should keep in mind:
l'ir-t. What is tiie objeot of this |
meeting?
11 the call is made for the purpose
of reoryanizinir in order to restore '
peace and harmouv in the union, we ;
must ii'M foriret the fact that we md (
in (ireeuwood only live months ai?-??
for that same pur|M>sc, and if we
failed to satisfy ourselves at the .In- 1
!y meetintr what assurance have we I
that the December meeting will give !
better sat ist act ion to all the membership
than tlie duly election did
at that time?
I lie majority vote carried in .liilv
and. i! it doc- m< >'. rule in |)oermh<T. '
we are sut e of ; he fact thai t iie I >e- {
ceinber rneetiier wiil not satisfy the
membership. We must not foriret <
the fact thai'. when w e critici/.* our j
action at the duly meeting that we
criticize the action of the majority |
of t'O'* delegates there, and that these I
delegates represented the la rue ma-;
jorily ot tho m.jnbepship of t'he |
State 1'nioii at that time.
Therefore about the only plausible!
and reasonable excuse for calling I
this special meetinir only five months I
alter we met in duly, may be in uiv-j
ing the new members who have come
in since duly 'he opportunity of
participating in casting the voles
that choose the managers for the
next sev.mi months. Hut some mav j
say that I he act ol joining!' the union j
under the leadership ot the present
officers was equivalent to an endorsement
of the present officials of
the union. At besl this December
meetinir cannot be called amvthing
else but a kind of revolution o* revolt
at our own actions. Our constitution
thai was adopted to guide the
action of the union has not "raided
the action of some of our officials
but little more than the curl in a
pig's fail controls or guide's the
movement of lire pig's nose. 1 trust
that when tho union does meet again
that the delegates will not be in
haste; but' will be very deliberate,
conservative and reasonable in their
notions, and that every member of
tlio convention should bo called on
