These shrewd spec ulators HM? ?V:!? judges ot' haman na ture , to start with, and their long, successful career in monkeying with silly cotton farmers havo taught them how to deceive the farmer on one plan this time and then another differ ent plan at another time. About this time last year these cot ton speculators were playing a fine winning garue with guano tags, nnd were scaling the cotton out of the far mers7 nanda right along at 74 cents, while his plucky neighbors were hold ing on to theirs for 10 cents but many of them done half a cent better. Now the difference in the farmers1 prices and the prices Bet by the buy ers of today is not near BO great as it was 'last season, and the demand is better .today and the surplus not so large no last year at this time, and wheo we thiuk of all these favorable conditions We are at a complete loss to account for the reasons for some far mers selling a present prices. . - 1 ?

So it ?B with the Formero' Union. It is good seed sown in good ground and you should attend your- Union regularly and pay up your dues promptly, or the weeds-your enemies-will spring up among you and choke down your progress end growth. The dues are very extremely small to each individual member, but tho aggregate sum ia sufficient to support the organization if all. will pay up promptly, but we cannot expect our organization to support our cause un less wo support aur organization! ?Where is che farmer that would be willing to leave bis home and work to K?uutto work for the good of all our. farmers without pay! We '.haven't enough patriotism ~;ibout us tc do this ourselves; and- wo should hot expect others to do it for as. Pay np, boys, liker men and you. will feel good! for .", '-, .. . ;.. "?? ? ~' -? South Carolina Made Too Much Cotton. ii io' sow an established fact'that South Carolina farmers made too much cotton. Beyond doubt a large .per cont of her best farmers have reduced their acreage last season; but did they lap book into the remaining acreage tho fertilisers cud labor and have gone ahead' and produced a crop about as large, as our largest?
