Tfc’Jsecin at the beginning: Dur
ing the campaign in 1916 when I
was a candidate for the office of
lepresontative, I advocated a meet-
of the citiiens at jhe court
house prior to the convening of the
legislature in January 1917 for-the
purpose of discussing matters In
which the people of the county
in which I was a candidate to sue-
might desire to have enacted into
law. I was elected- by the largest
vote given any candidate in that
.demon, and true fo my eampkign
promise I aecured the assent of the
• clher members of the Colleton dele
gation, Senator Padgett and Repre-
.entative Goodwin, and Vre held
this meeting the first Monday in De

from eve»7 a®*le by all the mem
ber* of tbs ’Colleto* delegation.
War was raging la Europe and the
fear .wa*. expressed that America
might be drawn into it. The r money
markets were unsettled in^ conse
quence, and there gi'ew a conviction
on the minds of the Colleton dele
gation that a bond issue of a half
million dollars was too big a thing
for them to place upon the people
without first letting them pass upon
it, and the provision that they vote
upon i( was Inserted. This was
ppfcr the end of the session, and th**
delegation had to “tack*' the bill
onto a similar bond issue bill from
Deaufort Vcounty, and in this shape
it was passed and "became law.'
It was agreed by ALL the mem
bers of the Colleton delegation that
a campaign should prechde the elec
tion, and that ALL the members of
hie delegation and the nfembers of
the .commission named in the Act
should accompany and explain the
terms of the Act to the people of
the county. In compliance with th *
terms of this agreement, a number
of meetings were held, .Senator
Padgett attended one or two of there
meetings and Representative Good

them for two reasons. As a news
