The representation of delegates to the South Carolina State Farmers Union to be held at Greenwood the 25th, 2f>th and 27th of July next will be as follows: one delegate at large from each County Union aod oue for every one hundred members or majority fraction thereof. Counties not having a county union, but having one or more local unions, will be entitled to oue delegate from each local union, dues paid up. All organizers whose commissions have not expired are delegates. No civil officer, county, State or national, cau be a delegate. This meeting is the snnual meeting for the purpose of electing State officers, and transacting any other business for the good of the organization. President Barrett of the National Union and other prominent Union men from other states as well as a large number of prominent farmers of the State are expected to attend this meeting. Getting Something for Nothing. Getting good practical farmers to quit their work to go out and work for the Farmers' Union for nothing is all that is in the way of spreading the Farmers Union organization all over i i ~ ?u uur OvUiii ibuu iu a vcijr ouuu wuiic. This prevailing idea amoDg farmers to get something for nothing, or get cheap men to do cheap work instead of getting good men at good prices to do good work is the biggest stumbling block in the way of the progress of the farmers organization. It takes a big hook and a big bait to catch big fish and bold the game?and a small fly hook for minnows. You cannot control the price of cotton unless you can control the men who hold the cotton. The cotton grower can not prosper while others price all he sells and buys, any more than he could pull himself out of mire by lifting at the straps of his boot legs. Help Yourself. Don't ouarrel with others about not helping the farmer when you are not trying to help yourself. Some farmers do a lot of bowline and no work because they are too poor ?they think?to do anything else but howl the calamity howl. The man with manhood and plenty of grit and energy in his make up need never ask others to give him room; about all this man ueeds is to put bis natural talents to work with a vim and the world will give him plen_ ty of room. Why all this talk about organizing the farmer of to-day when our daddies and granddaddies lived better than we do without any organization among themselves?' Because, our daddies and granddaddies produced almost everything they needed to eat and wear, upon their own farms excepting Bait, sugar, iron and what little money, they needed then to pay taxes whicb for these small items was not very hard to get out of his surplus cotton and other crops ana stock. And now we fool cotton growers have for lo these many years been trying to get rich buying all these things at the other fellow's prices, and paying for them with our cotton also at the other fellow's prices. We ar& compelled to organize before we can price our own cotton. The Farmer Declaring llis Independence. [From ibe Weekly Newi, Denver, Colo.] The American farmer is about to declare bis independence of the speculator of Wall street, and the movement has not been initiated a day too soon. The farmer has worked aud worried, and bis profit has been small. The had crop worries were all for him. He stood the loss alone. The specu1 - - -- J- 11/-)- A* ntA| I laior iu me a ucurssiuro utu uu aa ncn on a bad crop as on a good one. We are glad to be able to tell our readers that the farmers have made up their minds to put au end to this system, and that they have gone to work intelligently. Hitherto the farmer alone has bad nothing whatever to say about the price to be paid for what he actually produced. Bome man in Liverpool, some mill owDer in tl e North, might settle the price that the Southern cotton grower must take per bale of cotton. Some other man, thousands of miles away, could settle the price that the Wt stern farmer should have for hiB grain. The farmer alone had nothing to say about it. The railroads decided what they should charge him. Bankb decided what they should charge for the use of the money. Trusts decided ou their extortions. Tariff builders decided what tax the farmer's wife and daughter should pay ou their dresses. But the farmer was forbidden to have any say in fixing the price of his goods. This is to end, the work has been already begun in the farmers' organizations. This newspaper congratulates the farmers, and greets as public bene- i factors the moving spirits in the great farmers' organizations. The farmers of the country are the backbone of the country. They develop the nation's real wealth, which is the wealth of the soil. They are entitled to a full share of that wealth and cf the national prosperity. By combination, by insisting on fair prices for their cotton, their wheat and their nrnna rtnti hu TP.fiuti.mn /n **>11 iht* non-perishable products except for a fair price, they have already added tens of millions to the annual returns from the farms. They add tens and and hundreds of millions more annually as their unions increase in power. The isolated human being, whether ne be farmer or mechanic, is at the < mercy of every form of greed and cun- i ning. , Tne farmer has too long plowed. o/\n?r? roQ Qoroatoii anri JLiai IUT? cuj a\J n mjli ?vmpvw| ?? vm%vw mum fretted to build up Laufe accounts for others, and pay interest on mortgagee.

Shady Grove, July 3, 1907. t)eer Gents?My frien' Pab Slitz is the most disapointed pen us 'orno that ever watched licker trickle thru a worrum. He went to Columbia durin' the settin' of the Legislature to watch the movement of our mutual Jonah, viz., the Dispensary. Pab was shore that we would get prohibition, so was I. But as Jeems Finley or Norman Cann, I disremember which, has said, "The best laid schemes of rats and men gang -1 " T ion* lirWnf f Knf &ILCf giet." X UUUUw juoif ttuiiv i/uai quotation mean?, but I know it fits me and Pab. I want to a9k a favor of you gents an' it is this, for the sake of peace and tranquility don't say any more in your paper that the proceeds of the Dispensary will pay tor that Court Houiie in tour years time. It ain't necessary for me to tell you my reasons, but I've got 'em, and good ones too. I wish you would say more about the school fund gettin' nothin' from the Dispensary tho, Give it to 'ein good and proper. Put hot head lines on it. Muke the peece fry and sizzle like a peece of Hog bosom on a hot skillet. No money from the Dispensary for skools !?Disgrace unparalleled in the annals of history?Poor chillun must suffer while the Dispensary grows fat as a sun fish, ect. Make it good and warrum. Don't you tell the people of Abbeville Couuty that that consarn will make $100,000 in four or five years. They migbt take a fool notion that it would knock them out of the pleasure of payin' taxes and if they ever got such an idee into their crauiums, good bye to all mine and Pab's scbems. Thata entirely too much money for the consounded consarn to make anyhow, an if I was in Moosaoski's or Fanny Nickels or Tommy Price's shoes I'd cut that gain down about seventy-five perceut, so help me Pab, I wud ! Ten Barrooms at a high liscence of $1000 a peece would bring in $10000 for the city and that would be the greatest plenty. Just think what a boom that would give youre city ten barrooms ! Why store rent would go up 50 per cent in as many days ! Now my Deer gents, if there ever is any vacancy on the Board of Dispensary control I want every body in Abbeville county to know that I'm a can" ' * - T ..I.J) 1 Illume. J. wuuiu CLib gnc iuicc uw rabs to go to the Legislature, or the Senate, or to begovurner; but I would shore lib e to get od that Dispensary Board. You might study the politucol economies of all nations till the letters run io a brauch before yore eyes and you would not find a single country from Shady Grove to Madagascar that does ent pay taxes, moreover, you would find that a country is prosperous in proportion to the tax it pays, barrin' one or two countries wnere me presidents, kings, and things have them things they call Harums. There the ruler is surrounded by several hunderd good lookin women an' its not hard to tell where the jnoney goes in keepin' up such.au establishment?but the rule holcls good, prosperous people pay heavy taxes. Now if that Dispensary should reduce taxes down to nothin' the whole county would rot with what Finley aud the other poets call Innocuous Desuetude. The Dispensary, Gents, is mabiu'! entirely too much money for the county. It ought to be cut down. I believe I could do it, and if either Moosanski or Fanny Niukles or Tommy Price should want to get out I want you to let me know double quick ! By the way if you can help me iu auy way I would see that you loose nothin' for your trouble. Snorely the county won't let them three have it more'u a year any way. If I could get on fur that time I'd be aoMtfipH. I'm no Porker. I'd know when I got enough. Just on the Q. V. Don't you thiuk that the present Board, the above named Gent*, be about the biggest galoots you ever met ? They are let tin' that Dispensary make $2000 a month >r thereabouts, when $500 would be the greatest plenty. Finley aud othe. poets say something about lost opportunities, which it >eems that 1 can', recamemb. r just now, but which would be a very apt quotation in thib connection. There is another little mutter I wau! to sppak about, aud it is this : if \ ore esteemed ptriodical has got any influence I want you to put a everJaatin' stop to them Greenwood au' Auder.-on felieis a sneakin down here to bu\ licker. Thai's one thing thai's makii'. the D spensary prophits swell to sncli enormous pioportions. At leasl on-'fourth of the licker of Auder&on am* Greenwood is beiu bought at the Di?pent-a y. Anderson aud Greenwood .lon't buy more'n four-flftbs or fiv*sixths ther licker from Augusta ami and North Carlina. That ought not to be. They ought to get all, ever} drap, of ther licker ther. what'u the use of Davin uronhits t? a blamed old Didpeutary wbeii there be good m^ai iu Georgia and North Carolina in the lfgitiruate lit k? r business who are entitled to the patronage of these counties but they are only gettin five-sixths or six-sevenths of it, the Dispensary is gettiu' the rest. J know of numbers of num. good fellers, who are makin good money iD Anderson and Greenwood on Georgia and North Carlina licker, an' you know mighty well that with all the proph't iMooaanski, Nickles an' Price are puttin' on the stuff" the dark room dealer can't stand no more show than a tencent kid at a dollar circus. Now in that right? Keep yore Dinpens-ary iicker at home. Don't be breakin' down the business of good men in adinininer counties. I was over'n Greenwood to!her day an' a good ole frien' of mlue give me a 'ouliar wink that I never mistook in all my life. You know the wink, a kind of half shut eye with a half jerk of the kebeza an' a Blight motion of the arm, which means, old boy come and dampen your nek. J cuddent refuse no more'n iron tilens could refuse to grab a magnet.
