12 April 1921 - The Levy County Board of County Commissioners comprised of W.R. Hodges, J.P. Kimble, C.W. McElroy, W.S. Yearty, and T.L. Williams, adopted a resolution requesting all Florida Senators and Representatives who are friends of the farmers and stock raisers of the state to get behind Senator W.J. Epperson and Representative S.J. Gunn and defeat the "No Fence Bill" currently before the Florida Legislature. The Commissioners feel that passage of such a bill into law would be detrimental to the interests of that class of people who feed and cloth the peoples of the world.
