A GALL TO FARMERS OF
WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY
TO ORGANIZE UNDER THE ROCK j
tlHLL PLAN WHICH MEANS REDUCTION
IN COTTON ACREAGE.'
Mr J G Anderson, State superintendent
under the Rock Hill plan,
has appointed a committee for
I Williamsburg county composed ofj
Messrs D E McCutchen, of Indian
town; W 0 Camlin, of Bloomingvale,
and W E Jenkinson, of King-,
jf. stree. This committee will appoint
canvassers in all parts of the county
make a house to house canvass ;
and secure pledges from every cot- j
ton planter of the county, both!
P.
black and white, and insist upon a
reduction of cotton acreage of at
least 25 per cent from last year, j
It will also be incumbent upon this i
committee to collect funds for the
pay of said canvassers.
In presenting the Rock Hill plan
to the farmers of Williamsburg
county the committee feels that
tbey are presenting a plan that has
the approval of the best thinkers of
county; a plan that has the endorsement
of both Houses of the State
Legislature now in session; a plan j
that has the endorsement of the
Cotton Congress of the Southern1
(States; a plan that has the endorseof
both of our State daily
pfle"S, The News and Courier and
The Co'umbia State; a plan that has
the endorsement and approval of
the Farmers' Union. There are
r
many things we might say to urge
the farmers to accept and work together
on the Rock Hill plan, but we
will only mention one?during the
year 1910, there was made 12,000,030
(twelve million) bales of cotton
and it brought the farmers of the
South one billion of dollars, (ten
hundred million). Last year, 1911,
the cotton crop will be about fifteen
* millions of bales or over, and will
"""^-bring the farmers of the South only
about 750 to 700 millions of dollars.
This one fact alone should carry
I - onviction to the heart of every man
who is able to think for himself.
Now, the most important work
the committee has in hand to do is
to collect money to pay off the men
" we will send out to take the pledges.
We want to say this to the praise of
^ the town of Kingstree: the committee
called on most of the busil
ness houses of the town and in every
case they met with a hearty re-,
Wo Viavo olroaHv enllpftpH I
from the town of Kingstree over
two hundred dollars and have the
sane in the various banks.
_ Now, it is a known fact that farmW,
the principal industry of this
$ secuon of the State and cotton is
& our great staple money-making
gLvcrop. Merchants, lawyers and docpv
tors, all look to the farmers for a
support?let the farmers fail and
we are all in the same boat. Therein
' fore we are going to call on all to
m help ms out in this effort. The committee
will need between $500.00
and $600.00 to do the work, as it
should be done, and they will never
rest until it is done properly. What
\ is worth doing at all is worth doing
?* well.
LNow, we want to make an earnest j

appeal to every merchant, lawyer,
doctor and farmer who has a particle
of public spirit about him to send
in contributions to W E Jenkinson,
chairman, who will deposit this
money in banks and will publish a
list in The County Record from
wvek to week the names and
amounts of contributions.
We hope the people throughout
county will enter into the spirit of
this important movement, and will
aid the committee in every way
possible in getting the work done.

-THE SUBJECT OF THIS SKETCH
BORN IN CHARLESTON IN 1836.
Editor County Record: ?
I have written a good many let- j
ters to The Record. I have mentioned
many people,some who are my -]
warmest friends and many old acquaintances,whom
it is quite a pleas- ?
ure to remember. Many who have
read my letters seem to enjoy them 11
very much .which is quite surprising
and gratifying to a writer of such
limited education; and, as many of
the readers of your valuable paper
perhaps have never seen me, and
many who have seen me and known
me for a long time do not know
where I came from or how it happened
that I am here, I will tell
them a little about Conrad Constine.
My father and mother came from
Germany. My father was raised
near the Hartz mountains,his native
city being Heidelberg, where many
students from different parts of the
world have attended institutions of c
learning. I was born in Charleston,
S C, June, 1836. My father was a
member of the German Fusiliers of
that city and was with that compa
ny in the Indian war in Florida. He
died in 1847, when I was but ten i
years old. My mother died when I *
was but three months old and is
buried in St Patrick's churchyard in i
Charleston. After my mother's (
death my father grave me to Capt *
John C Vose, of the old "Eighteen *
Mile House" farm. Capt Vose and ^
his wife, Jane, adopted me and I ,
called them "Ma Vose" and "Pa \
Vose." (
I will now leave a gap in my early
life story from three months of }
age to fourteen years, of which I (
may tell the ups and downs at an- <
other time. I was living at the *
"Eighteen Mile House" when four-|j
teen years old and "Ma Vose" and j
"Pa Vose" thought that I had bestJ
learn some kind of trade. They y
thought of putting me on some one r
Df the large rice plantations on t
Cooper river, but in the fall of that 1
year Mr John J Reardon went down ?
:o Charleston with a load of cotton ; f
and Mrs Vose,being acquainted with | g
VIr Reardon, knew that he was a c
?ood mechanic, and, as I was pres- *
?nt, she asked him if he would like *
:o have a boy to learn his trade. He j
said he would, and asked me iflij
would go home with him. 1 did not! r
ike the idea much; he was on his c
way to Charleston and expected to ^
return that way in about three days v
and during that time I made up my \
mind to go. "Ma Vose" did not in-; c
tend to force me to go; I came along c
with Mr Reardon and his sons,James e
. c
and Daniel. I enjoyed the trip very g
much. Messrs Ellison Buddin and f
Myers Coker were also in the com-1 p
pany. I went back to Charleston the I
next fall. }
For the most of the past 61 years ^
I have lived in Sumter, Clarendon
and Williamsburg counties, excepting
3 years in Western Arkansas 1
and 18 years in Florida. It was so t
good for me to visit "Eighteen Mile c
House", the next winter after I 1

of Mr A D Wilson.
We were shocked and grieved last
Saturday to hear that our esteemed
j friend, Mr Alex D Wilson, had committed
suicide the morning before
by shooting himself in the head with
a shot-gun. We have not been able
to learn the details of the lamentable
affair, but, from what we can
gather, Mr Wilson had been suffering
with neuralgia in the head for
several days and complained at times
that the pain was intolerable. We
cannot but believe that the rash
deed was done when he was driven
by pain out of his reason, for Mr
Wilson, as we knew him, was of a
well-balanced, normal temperament, '
and in his right mind would shrink
from any thought of taking his own j
life.
Sunday morning,at 11 o'clock, his
remains were interred at Indiantown i
church in the presence of a crowd
