More than three hundred farmers assembled in the court house on Mon day to consider the price of cotton and to see if by counseling together some thing could be accomplished. The meeting was held in response to a call issued by Mr. E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture, and also b: the Farmer's union. These meet ings are called in accordance with plans made at a recent convention of cotton growers held in Birmingham and the purpose of the meeting was not only to discuss the situation, but to elect delegates to the State conven tion; which is to be held in Columbia on the 28th. The farmers, as well as other men present were very much interested' and very much in earnest. On the resolutions -to test their sincerity about 90 per cent. of the farmers present agreed to hold their cotton off the mar ket at least until the 15th of Novem ber if prices remained below 14 cents. Mr. R .T. C. Hunter was elected chairman; A. D. Hudson secretary and treasurer. Mr. Alan Johnstone spoke for half an hour or more reviewing the whole cotton situation and he concluded by suggesting that it must be a Southern mov'ement combining all Southern in terests. Mr. John C. Neel had been thinking about the price of cotton a good deal this fall. He said that the price had declined 6 cents in three months, an average of 2 cents per month. The main question, as he saw it, was how to keep this price up and what scheme - was it proposed to adopt. He thought that if each farmer in the 'cotton belt would put aside one-fdurth of his cot ton that the price could be kept un der the control of the farmers. Mr. John M. Kinard, representing his bank, stated he believed that the position taken by him *would be. en dorsed by the mnajority of the banks of South Carolina, and speaking for these* banks, he Was satisfied they would be willing to loan money On cotton at 7 per cent. per annum. He stated that pton was the best collateral that he knew of, and that he was interested in a good price for cotton because it meant a good balance in the banks. It was also stated enat the Bank of Prosperity was willing to co-operate with the farmers.4 Dr. W. C. Brown stated that it was useless to elect delegates unless we had some plan, some d:efinite plan to i carry to the State convention. Mr. John C. Neel asked Mr. Kinard if he would only lend on cotton if it 1 were in the warehouse. Mr. Kinard 1 replied that he frequently loaned be fore cotton was grown, which, of course, meant that a good deal de- 1 pended on the person desiring the loan. He could not lend except on bankable collaterals. Mr. W. A. McSwain stated that his company was prepared to insure cot-1 ton for the farmer in -bales or in seed on a basis .rate oft 3 1-2 per cent.4 per annum, where th:ere was no fire pro tection and he would insure it for its full cash value. Mr. John M. Suber stated that most every man can get money on his cot ton and he thought each one would have to work out the details of secur ing his money for himself. The ques tion for the convention was how much cotton can. we keep off the market. What is the sentiment of those present as to withholding cotton from the mar It was at this suggestion that the resolution was adopted by a practical ly unanimous vote of the farmers present to keep off the market until November 15 any cotton at less price than 14 cents. The following delegates were elect ed to the convention to be held in Co lumbia on the 28th. The chairman was authorized to fill any vacancies: W. C. Brown, John M. Suber, A. D. Huson, G. Y. Hunter, Jas. McIntosh, John M. Kinard, B. C. Matthews, Alan Jobnstone and S. J. Kohn. Election at Chappells. The mu.nicipal election which was held at Chappells on the 15th resulted in the election of E. M. Martin as mayor; W. P. Allen, W. 0. Holloway, H. C. Strother, G. W. Stevens, as ald ermen. Mr. H. M. Crouch was elected clerk and treasurer. The license ordinance as in force , heretofore was readopted with two changes as follows: Butcher and deal er in meats, $15.00. Dealer in fresh I fih $.0.9 (OUNG WHITE MAN IS KILLEU BY A NEGRO LAMES BOUKNIGHT, FORMERLY OF NEWERRY, SHOT rO DEATH. tI Negro Bill Suber Surrenders-Has F Three Wounds on Body-Taken Fairiield Jail. Saturday afternoon news came to:tl Xewberry that Jas. Eouknight, a white man, had been shot and kille:1 e by Will Siiber, colored, at Blairs, just icross the river in Fairfield county. It Sheriff Buford sent Deputy She?riff!, Pope Buford, and in a few minutes aa- t )ther deputy in company with Mr. S. K. Bouknight, father of the young man: y who was killed. Constables C. G. tc Blease and T. P. Adams accompanied by several other gentlemen, also left C immediately in automobiles for the purpose of seeking to prevent further;L -rouble. s Mr. S. K. Bouknight, the farher of the young man who was killed, lives c t Irmo, near Columbia. He formerly,, 3onducted a blacksmith shop in New- B' berry and happened to be here on t( Saturday when the killing of his son was. reported. Young Bouknight for- r merly lived at Newberry, and some- n time ago moved to Blairs and estab lished a -blacksmith shop, and it is a tated the shooting took place in khe t bouse formerly occupied by Mr. Bouk aight as his shop. Recently he had been working for Col. L. P. Miller, on the Newberry side. The sheriff of Fairfield was also present and a h, searching party was put out on Satur- b lay night, but the negro was not ar- $ rested. It was difficult to se.nr-- information as to the cause of the trou0ble. One re port was to the effect that young IT Bouknight had been gamblin; with the u negroes and -when he lost his money b reported the negroes for gambling and :>n his return to the place the difficul- I :y ensued and he was shot. Another report is that young Bouknight went to Constable Will Blair at Blairs and reported "that several negroes were lambling, whereupon Constable Blair J Va gave Bouknight. a pistol and asked him 0 to go with.hi, Blair, and assist in naking the ar-rest. It is stated that t4 lair went in another direction to get C' 1s brother to accompany him while 'c Bouknight went directly t,o the place, I mnd that when Blair arriv'ed the shoot- * ng had taken place and that he rec-. gnized in t'he house Bill Su'ber and several .other negroes, 'but made no C ttempt to arrest them, giving his at :ention first to the wounded man. Sunday afternoon Bill Suber sur rendered to the officers and it is stat- - id that he has three gun shot wounds C m his person. The coroner of Fair eld held the inquest Sunday after-. oon though it is impossible to secure le verdict of the jury.. The remains of young Bouknight F were i,rought to Newberry Sunday af ernoon and taken via the C., N. & L. o Irmo for burial. He is survived' by. is wife and four children. The negro,T WJill Suber, it is understood has been. aken to the Fai-rfield county jail. In Loving Remembrance. In loving remembrance of our son, - dr. Stanmore Y.
