Majority not in Fayor of Going. .• £ f *** .* - The meeting held Friday at RicaJ interesta would be benefitted by the change he ritouM not derire to make it! Col. J G Padgett waa next intro duced. He was glad to be present and congratulated the people of the community on the evidences of their prosperity. To go to Hampton county he eras sure would not be beneficial to the people of this tec tifu. Colleton county hm} a great dial more to offer theml&en Hamp ton. Our remurces were the great- eat of any county in the State, and we are just beginning to develop them. Colons) Padgett explained the propoaed road law for Colleton coun ty the delegation stand pledged to return every cent of money paid in by any township to the township paying it in, and this was fair. No township schould want more, and to get less was not right. Ha did not blame Hampton county for wanting the people of this prosperous section to join tpeir county, for they were almost sure to lose the large section desiring to form Jasper county, and they must recoup themselves on some other territory. Colleton was an independent county and did not feel the necessity of going out beg ging in order to get along. \ “Why is it.” asked Col. Padg*U» that these rich merchants from Hampton and Crocketville are here asking you to go to Jiampton coun to?” Is it because they wish to get you more completely under their domination? Col Padgett made a very earnest plea for Colleton, and received the most careful attention of all present. He was interrupted several times by questions from the audience but answered them with readinem and satisfactorily. The next speaker introduced PH Gooding of Crocketville. Mr Gooding made an earnest plea for Hampton county. Ha thought the fact that the people of this territory did nearly all their business in Hampton county they should be a part of the county. Then the near- nem to the county seat, he thought, was an important matter in favor of the secession. Mr. Gooding stated that Hampton county had a great deal more railroad property than Col leton. to help pay the taxes of the county, and .therefore, the burden Is lighter than in Colleton. TMn Col leton had furnished so many good citizens for Hampton county already that the invitation to come over and join them could hardly be resisted. He was sure that this section would have better roads, and he was also in favor of every township’s getting back the money paid in for road work. J Col. Padgett made a brief reply to this speech, in which he thought he saw the reason why these merchants were so much interested. He thought it was to get these people in Hampton county where they could have more influence over them and perhaps destroy this splendid Farmers Unin Store, so that they could get all the business. ’’From whom did you buy your fertilisers this year?” Asked the - speaker ’’From our Union Store,” was the answer. "That is it,” said Mr. Pad gett Col. Jacob A Lightsey of Crocket ville here arose and stated that he wiriied to reply to Mr. Padgett, though he could not speak lika the learned attorney and i man, that he was a plain farmer like the moat of his audience, and that he was making good crops. He felt that this territory should join Hampton because it was most con venient and all their -THE STORE THAT MAKES GOOD* Patch was somewhat of a surprise to the advocates of - the . “New Colle ton.” They had been hearing that practically the entire territory in cluded in the survey waa in favor of going to Hampton county, and they expected to find a rocky road in their attempt to reason with the people, but what waa their surprise to find that only, a very few were at all in favor of gaif*. and that the burden of couriudag waa on tha other fallow. This was very gratify ing, end shows that the old county of Colleton will not be dismembered from this section, but that some of the staunchest friends she has are in this territory'. The opinion was pretty generally expressed that it was very doubtful if the necessary one-third signatures could be secured to the petition to order the election, and, therefore, the matter would end where it is. Certain it is that the advocates of the secession were not in evidence st the meeting. They must have remained at home, and about sixty voters were present. Quite a party of Hampton and Crocketville gentlemen came over in their automobiles and buggies, and pressed the invitation from Hampton count. Their argument was that as the most of the business of the ter ritory is done in Hampton, with the Hampton merchants and banks, that the most natural thing in the world is that the people of the territory should join the county, so that their interests should be in common all way round. Another stock argu ment is that it will be so much nearer to the court house, and the promise was made that Hampton county would send its chain gang down in the territory for three months to work the roads of Brox- ton. Those in the Hampton and Crocket' ville party were: H F Bam, Judge Murdaugh, Dr. R C Williama, and J S Williama from Hampton; Jacob A. Ughtaey and P H Gooding from Crocketvilie. The Walterboro party waa com- poaed of Col. J G Padgett. Hon. J S Griffin. C M Grace. H W DuBoiaand WWSmoak. The meeting waa called to order a little after noon hour by Col. -Pad gett who requeeted J F Rents to preside. Mr. Rents stated the ob ject of the meeting and called for anyone in favor of going to Hamp ton county to give his reasons so that the gentlemen who had come to diacum the matter would know what the opposition was. H H Rentz arose and stated that he wanted to go to Hampton county lecause he wanted to go, and also because it was so much nearer the court house, and the roads were better. Editor Smoak of The Press and Standard was next called upon. He thought that perhaps the matter of distance to the county seat was not an unmixed evil as those summoned to attend court, for example, would receive more mileage, and that every person had other business in the county seat which would enable him to attend to the ’purely county matters without extra lorn of time. Mr Smoak streemd the fact that Hampton waa about£to lose a por tion of her moat valuable territory in the formation of Jasper county from Coosawhatchie and Roberts townships in Hampton and other territory from Beaufort. He read some figures be had secured at Hampton Thursday, to ahow that tha tax values of property was, higher, and the ameamnent greater. He aiao brought out the fact that Hampton county owes $22,900 paya ble in 1911. Hon. J SQriffin was next introduc ed. He thought that the only reason the people of Broxton township wished to go to Hampton county was to escape the wire-worm. Some one remarked that tha wire-worm would starve in Hampton county- Mr. Griffin urged the people to con sider well the matter of leaving the mother county, and he was sure that their condition would not be bettered any by the change, and un less a person were convinced that his dona in Hampton county. Several abort talks were made at the conclusion of Mr Lightaey's ad dress. J F Rents thought every naan should vote for what he believea tobehis heat interests. J A Har- rieon thought the people should gi their tax money back, and if tm do he is satisfied with Colleton. ^ The meeting waa then adjourned and the people discumed the matter Quietly a few moments and then departed, more thoughtful than ilken they came, and many of them aaw the matter to a new light.
