Farmers of Fort Mill Section Hold Meeting

Fort Mill, SC, March 2 - About 75 of the prominent planters of this community 
assembled in the Masonic hall this afternoon to discuss the cotton situation. 
S.H. Epps presided, and the object of the meeting was stated by Col. Thomas B. 
Spratt. A full and free discussion followed, in which there were speeches by 
Dr. T.S. Kirkpatrick, W.M. White, D.O. Potts, Karl Faris, J.P. Crowder and 
J.M. Harris. 

A resolution proposed by Dr. T.S. Kirkpatrick, in which it was stated that the 
farmers of this community were in thorough sympathy with the work of the 
county and state cotton associations and would support their action, was 
unanimously adopted by a rising vote.

The chairman appointed a committee composed of Dr. T.S. Kirkpatrick, D.O. 
Potts and Col. Thomas B. Spratt with instructions to ascertain full details as 
to the action of the state and county associations and report at a meeting 
which is to be held next Saturday evening, when pledges will be prepared for 
signatures. Those present agreed by a rising vote to be present at the meeting 
next Saturday and to bring another farmer who was not present this afternoon 
with him.
