It is not btalks with forms 12 inches apart that. counts, it is the thick-set bolls from two to three incht.s apart on medium btalks that indi cales a fine crop, We have before us great stacks of letters and newspapers from all over every cotton state in the South. A glance over the news from the cotton fields of the South as writ ten by the real farmer himself, is veiy encouraging, indeed, as to the deterliiinatioit of farmers to come together and take charge of their own affairs. In our sister state, Georgia, we note that they have now in the Farmers' Union over 45,000 mem bers and they have jast begun in oarnest, and their meetings already published, numbers for August, 72 different places. This educational caipaign of the Farmers' Union is now on in earnest in all the cot toti states. These farmers have gone into line all over the cotton territory in a systematic way that bids fair to create something like a real revolution in the 'manage. inent of our whole cotton interesta. From every state comes the glo, rious news of large enthusiastic meetings and the springimg up of Farmers' cotton warehouses in all the cotton states. The cotton far. mers have stopped digging in tho fields'for awhile and are digging and throwing their fortifications ready to defend their interests. The cotton farmer has learned to watch both the bunghole and spigot < his business. Ho no Ion ger continues to pour in the good * stuff at thle bunghole and never look out for the leak at the spigot. -The farmers Union man of today has been educated up to the point * where he can understand that * there is two important features of h isa business-one is to produce good crops and the other is to get good prices for that crop. WVhere is the good of produciog good crops, if the good crops bring to the farmers actualy less money, and profits than poor crops have dojne? Thue unorganized cotton far mners have for years been spreading hefore the cotton tradesmen and speculators of the world a great * and grand feast, whilo cotton grow. ers themselves have stood around the festival table with a gag in their owvn mouths placed there by each other. Farmers, will you evor learn the leeson, the one most inportant los. sons before you-that if ever there is anything done fof the interest of the farmers, that farmers them selves must help each other? Novel *-go about catering to men in othei occupations to help you when yoi have not tried to heolp' your owa * interest by joining with your fel low craftsmen, your brother far, me r. Ry request I hereby call a busi ness meeting of the South Carolina LFarmers' Educaltional and Co.oper ative Union to meet at Clemsoi College Wednesday. the 8th of Aug for the purpose of considering an *business of intei-est to the Stat Union.

Many Persons Have Or Catarrh of Bladde President Newhof and War Correspondesst Richrds Were Promptly Curcd By Pe-ru-na Mr. 0. B. Nowhof, 10 Delamaro street, Albany, N. Y., Prosident Monteflore Club, writes: "Since my advanced age I find that I have been frequently troubled with urlary allmonts. Tho bladder scomed irritated, and my physician saId that it was catarrh caused by a protracted cold which would be difficult to over come on account ot my advanced years. I took Peruna, hardly daring to believe. that I would bo helped, but I found to lmy relief that I soon began to mend. The irritation gradually subsided and the urinary diflculties passed away. I have enjoyed excellent health now for tho past seven months. I enjoy my meals, sleep soundly, and am as well as I was twenty years ago. I give all praise to Peruna. "--C. B. Newhof. suffered from Catarrh of Kidneys, Threatened With Nervous Collapse, Cured by Pe-ru-qa. Mr. P. B. Richards,000 E4 Stroot,N.W., Washington, ). C., War Correspondent, wiites: "lixactly six years ago I was ordored to Cuba as staff corrospondent of the New York Sun. I was in charge of a Sn Dispatch boat through the spanish American War. The effect of the trop ical climate and the nervous strain showed plainly on my return to the states. Lassitudo, depression to the vergo of melancholia, and incessant kidney trouble made me practically an invalid. This undesirable condition eontinued, despite the best of treatnent. Finally a brother newspaper nan,who like myselt had served in tho war, in duced me to give a faithful trial to Peruna. I did so. In a Ahbrt time the lassitude lef t me, my kidneys resumed a healty condition, and a complete cure was offected. I cannot too strongly recommend Peruna to thooo siffering with kidney trouble. To-day I am able to Work as hard as at any time in my life, and the examiner for a leading in surance company pronounced me an E4A risk." In Poor Ilealth Over four Years.

I have not had a trace of kidney P trouble nor a cold In my systein.* Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found por manon t use In so many homes is that it contains no narcotics of any kind. Pe rune Is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro duce temporary results. It is per Inanont in its effect. It has no bad .eftect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by ro moving the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes whore Peruna has beon used off and on for twenty years.
