"What is this about a new society of farmers said to be organized in the state and to have a membership in your coun ty?" a reporter of the State asked Mr. Stuckey. "There is such asociety,"he replied. "I am a member of it." "What is the nature of it?" "That I' can't tell you," said Mr. Stuckey, smiling; "the society is secret. I can't discuss its purposes. I can only say that if its purposes are carried out Lee will be the most prosperout county in South Carolina." Mr. Stuckey declined to say whether or not the organization was political, or to commit himself further than as quoted. "At any rate," the reporter said, "you give me this much of a story -that you are a member disposes of the rumor that it is a society composed exclusively of tenant farmers." Mr. Stuckey is a landholder. When the reporter inquired if he could join the order Mr. Stuckey said that it was confined to farmers. John L. McLaurin, state cotton ware house commissioner, was asked last night if he was a member of the new organization of farmers to which Gov. Manning referred in his speech at Lees Ville Monday. "I am not a member of the organiza tion," said Mr. McLaurin, "and I have been told that I am not eligible for membership." Mr. McLaurin said that he had heard of the farmers' organization only in Lee and Kershaw counties and knew noth ing about it. It was learned last night, but notj from Mr. McLaurin, that the farmers' secret organization would have a con vention soon at some place not yet se leceted.-Columbia State, Wednesday.
