The Fourth of July fell on Saturday, the day wisely chosen by the Women's Leagues for their mass meeting. Bills were posted advertising this "historical event" far and wide in every post office, and country store, in mills, gin houses, and at every crossroad in the county.
Co-Citizens' Mass Meeting
Great Historical Event!
At Jordantown Hall, July 4th, 3:00 p. m.
Speeches by Prominent Leaders of the Movement!
Announcement of Election Plans!
Everybody invited!
If anything could have added to the crowds which gathered in Jordantown every year on this day, these impudent circulars were calculated to do it.
"Election plans! by gad!" exclaimed Squire Deal when he found one of the obnoxious bills posted on the door of the little courtroom in Possum Trot. "Who said there was going to be an election, I'd like to know. Darndest piece of impudence I ever saw in my life!"
"Maybe they'll tell us what their rickrack political platform is, too!" said another farmer.
