The Meeting at Rice Patch Friday Very
Interesting. Several Speakers Were
Heard oh Both Sides. 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.
We liave a fine lot of Furs, Scarfs
