constitution adopted at
monday s meeting.

Articles of Argreement Patterned after
a Similar Organization in North
Carolina?Additional Officers
' Elected.
The Peoples' Protective Associa- ,
tiOQ is the name adopted last M011
day for the organization formed several
months ago in the interest of
the farmers and those in sympathy
with them as opposed to the oppressive
power of the trusts. The special
committee appointed at last meeting
i reported throngh the secretary, Mr
j P H Stoll, as to what had been
done in the way of framing a constitution
and bylaws for the government
of the organization. In drafting
the constitution the committee
followed closely the articles of argreement
of the North Carolina
Farmers' Protective Association,
which were so modified as to cQni
form to the requirements of the
Williamsburg county organization.
As set forth in the preamble the
; object of the association is as fol- (
i lows:
"Whereas, the general conditions
that confront the farmers to-day
imperatively demand that they be
organized for the protection of their
interests, the promotion of their general
welfare, the social and educational
advancemement of them and
their children and securing to them
I a just remuneration for their toil;
' now, therefore, for the securing of?
these objects, we enter into the following
articles of agreement."
The articles of agreement as recommended
by the committee were
then taken tip section by section and
adopted or amended by a viva voce
vote.
Under the scheme of organization
adopted there will be an association
formed in each township to meet
! monthly, the County* Association to
be made up of delegates elected from
the nnit or township association.
The County Association is to hold
meetings quarterly, on the first Mondays
in January, April, July and
October.
The association is'to be kept free
I ir l:
iruui ptuueau puiiuito.
The question as to whether the
meetings should be secret or public
elicited some discussion and a motion
was finally adopted to have them
public with the privilege of goiny
j into executive session at any time.
Under the constitution there sha 11
I be three vice presidents. This left tw >
I to be elected and Messrs J J M Gru ,
I ham and W D Fitch were elected *. >
j the vacant positions.
| Mr P H Stoll was elected lectr rr
! for the association and a motion
prevailed that the lecturer be instructed
to visit each township as early as
j possible.
| Mr W W Kennedy moved that
i there be a committee appointed con
sisting of three in each township to
; report the true and actual crop conI
ditions during the growing season.
This motion was carried.
I
The officers of the Association
i now stand as follows:
President, J Davis Carter; /1st
vice president J G McCullough; 2nd
vice pres. J J M Graham; 3rd vice
pre3., W D Fitch; secretary, C W
Wolfe; lecturer, P H Stoll. In addition
to the foregoing officers there
will be also a board of advisers to
! cousist of one member from each
| township, said advisers to be elected
by a majority vote of the represent'
cftives from the township organiza
tions.
While the meeting held on Mon
day was not so large as it should
have been a good deal of enthusiasm
, was shown by those who were preseat.
T.he Colombians have a wonderful
loyalty for their constitution, so long
as such a coarse-promises to pay better
than a re vol utid*.
TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS.
Contests between Oemocrats and Republicans
Decided in Several States.
Elections were held in several
States on Tuesday, November 2.
The greatest interest was centered
around the mayoralty contest -inGreater
New York between George
I B McClellan, sou of the Civil war
' general of the same name, who was
! the Democratic nominee for mayor,
: and Seth Low, the Fusiorjist caudil
date for re-election. The campaign
between the two men was a remark- j
able one, in which there were united j
against McClellan practically every
! newspaper of note and nearly all
I ministers of the city. It was thought
j that the contest would be very close,
but the returns indicate a sweeping
victory for McClellan by a plurality
of 70,000.
In New Jersey the Republicans
elected four of the six State Senators
and enough of the geteral assembly
to control both houses.
The Republicans broke their
record in Ohio by electing Myron T
Herrick, Republican candidate for
governor, over Tom L Johnson, Democratic
candidate, by considerably^
over 100,000 majority.
The re-election of Governor John
C W Beckham, the Democratic nominee
for governor of Kentucky, over
| Morris B Belknap, the Republican,
by a majority of 15,000 seems to be
assured. Beckham's election is
conceded.
TnKr> T. "RatmiIiIir>?n_ was
j re-elected governor of Massachusetts
by a plurality of over 35,000.
Maryland up to this writing is
still in doubt but it is supposed that
j the Democrats carried the State as
th?y did the city of Baltimore.
The elections in Virginia resulted
! in a sweeping victory for the Democratic
State ticket.
The Republicans claim Nebraska.
William J Bryan's State, by a plurality
of ] 2,000 against the Democrats
and Populists.
In Pennsylvania the Republicans'
i won out as usual by heavy majorities.
At midnight (Tuesday night) returns
indicated the re-electior of
Governor Garvin, Democra', by a
small plurality in Rhode Island.
Colorado is claimed by the Republicans
by 5000 to 7000.
Iowa's Republican governor Cum
! mins, is re elected by GO,000 plurality.
The vote in Mississippi was light,
; the Democratic ticket being without
opposition.
