KINQSTREE,
COTTON GROWERS MEET
And Elect t Delegtte to the New Ork*iu s
I Convention. .
Ins
A number of representative ,
A farmers and business men met
Monday in the court house in response
to the call of Mr E D 0
Smith, president of the State ^
Cotton Growers' Association, to
w-elect a delegate to New Orleans ^.?
dUU IV lyUUliact r luvi uo iu
measure to bring: about a reduction
of the cotton acreage so ^
as to maintain a higher price for (
the staple. r
A temporary organization was j*?
effected, with Capt Edwin Har- . a
per as chairman and Mr WE 1W
Nesmith secretary, it was
moved that a delegate be ?
elected to go to New Orleans,
and Mr R H Kellehan was . 4
unanimously chosen to repre- ins
sent the farmers of Williams- an
burg county at the convention, '
which meets on January 24-25. me
The question arose as to whether
or not the delegate should be n<
instructed to report a reduction
of the cotton acreage in this '
113.
county, and it was thought best
to instruct him only in a general w
way that it was the sense of this ^
moonir roilnrfirvn
vu rnaaw uuj ivuuvuvu
in acreage that the convention c?]
might see fit to recommend. 1
Before adjournment it was resolved
to call a mass meeting of
|fe~' farmers and others interested in <
the production of cotton to be w0]
held in {Cingstree on Monday, an(
January 30, to receive the re- gtr
port of the delegate to New Orleans
and form a permanent or- ^
ganization looking to the inter- ..
est of the cotton growers of our ?
county. at

THE FLOOD OF BILLS UNUSUALLY
LARGE.
Committee Assignments of Oar Representatives?Bills
Introduced by
Our Delegation?Kingstree's
New Magistrate.
The Capitol, Columbia, S. C., j
January 1:?The County Record, J
in last week's issue, gave an account
of the opening and organization of
the general assembly and made
mention of the committee p^bit'ons!
allotted to Senator Williams. In the
house the representatives from T\ illia:nsburg
were placed upon the following
standing committees, to wit:
Mr Bass, Ways auu Means, Incorporations,
Dispensary and State Hospital
for the Ins ne; Mr Graham, Public
Schools and Agriculture; Mr Stoll,
Education ADd Public Priuting. All
of these are important; some ot them
especially so, beiug among the most
important iu the house; and the as- 1
signmeut of these gentlemen to such
positions is a recognition not only of
their merit but of Williamsburg's '
due. Takeu all in all our county
now probably occupies a larger place
in the assembly than in a number
of y^ars.
Tne flood of bills, always heavy,
has been nuusually large so far. <
Something like a hundred and seven- '
tv five have alreadv been introduced,
?/ # ?
and the entire force of engrossing
clerks is kept busy every day preparing
new measures. Ont of the no21ber
presented probably one-tenth is .
of real importance, while the remain- (
der are freakish, "wild cat" and 1
breeders of political buncombe. The ]
man who would devise some plan to I
strangle these useless and sometimes '
hurtful bills in their very birth, would
be a benefactor to the State. So far '
such a Moses is uuknowu to earth or
fame.
Mr Stoll has introduced a memorial
from Camp Pressley, asking the
Assembly to relieve the widows of
soldiers and sailors who died since ,
the war from the nnjust discrimin- ,
ation which gives them only $16 2-3 1
per year, while the widows of those ,
anlilinra and wiilors who died during'
the war receive $48 per yea r. Mr
Stoll has also presented a bill amending
the charter of Kingstree so as
to permit a tax levy ten mills, bat in j
more. I
Mr (?r^ham introduced a bill Monday
providing that auv one taking a
lien or mortgage of crops from a tenant
without consent of landlord shall j ]
be deemed guilty of a misdem?aiior ,
and that such lien or mortgage shall 1
be invalid.
Mr Bass has presented a bill pro- ;
viding punishment for peddling medicines,
ann one which permits the
victims in cases of rape and assault
with intent to rape to be examined
privately in presence of the presiding
judge, the jury, the two attorneys
and the accused and no one else,
with the liberty on part of the accused
to waive the right of being (
present. The object of this last J
mentioned measure is to remove the
necessity of women- testifying in open J
court iu .he class of case0 stated
??ove. To suffer our wr and j
tors to testify upon the delicate
nuftv "" i'1 the presence the
usual court . ^se crowd ht long
been recognized as one of those things
to which we will not submit.
Mr Kershaw of Florence has intro- j'
duced a bill restoring tobacco ware-:
house charges to the schedule which !
obtained up to the first of January of j.
this year. This bill was referred to *
a committee composed of the representatives
from the seven tobacco j
growing counties, wit!? Mr Bass- as!,
chairman.
It seems probable that the dispensary
will claim a large share of the
attention of this session. The senti-1 <
i
raent seems to be geoeial that a !
change in the management ii abac!
Intely neeesaary. A joint resolution
is now on its way through the Senatr
providing for a thorough iuveftiga*'
tion by a committee of |senators aud
representatives, and tbe indications
are that this resolution will gcr
through. A number of bills pmpos- j
ing various changes in the liquor law
have been presented in both houses.
One provides for local option in locating
and in closing dispensaries. Another
seeks to have a State board appointed
by the governor and giving
the members a salary of $1500 each.
The shad law will come in for anoth
er big fight. A bill is now being pre- A
pared to meet the objections to the#
act passed last year and will be intra* ^
duced in a few days. Those in favor
if giving the people of the State a
few of these denizens of the waters1
are determined that Georgetown shall
not always monopolize this fish aad
deny to all the rest of the State any .
share in them. J
The governor will be inaugurated
on the 25th. Two circnit judges, ?
superintendent and directors of the
penetentiary are to be elected. Until ]
these matters are disposed of very
little else will receive attention. f
Mr R K Wallace has been recom
mended for appointment as magistrate
at Kiugstree. 4
The members of the Williamsburg
delegation are in their places and at- *
tending to their duties.
