Secret Organization of Farmers
William A. Stuckey, a prominent
farmer of Lee county, who lives in
Bishopville, was in the city yesterday.
"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.
