6 ' TUTAIMERS' UNION BUREAU. Geoducted by S. C. Farmers' Union Address all communications iuteuded (or this column to J. Stribling,. Pendleton . S. C. Before you can require or expect other organized tradesmen or combinations to be honest and deal fair ly with you ana your teiiow tarmers, yon yourself must be houest to yourself and fellow farmer and get right by joining the co-operative movement among farmers for the betterment of all. ti Condemn a man to death and then compel him to dig his own grave is the limit to his punishment and unfortunate end. About the next thing to that punishment is for the all-cotton farmer to be condemned into the idea of getting rich by growing cotton exclusively and then being compelled to dig his own grave, tiuancially, by dumping his cotton upon the market at the other fellow's price to pa\ for bought farm crops ?1^rv crf\t of fho man c nrl/>08 MlOV UI lliV. VIUV.1 U1UU IVVU If that isn't the limit to farming agony aud iguorance in a busiucss sense, what is it J Watch the silent bull dog creeping up behind you; he is dangerous. But never mind about the much bailing fice parading around in front of you. Parallel cases of this kind among men are common; the big fellows get together in secret meetings and conspire to rob the farmer, aud the only way the farmer has to keep them from doing it is for farmers to get together in secret meetings and devise plans to protect farmers' interest against all the many schemes to get his products at their own prices. All cotton seed meal that is damaged or risky to feed to stock should have the death crossbones branded on every sack. Our South Caroliua pure food law, passed at the last legislature, is no good. We need a pure food law for both man and beast with an unerring provision for its enforcement. f Wrong End Foremost. Instead of cotton growers tottering up and down the streets with a sam pie of his cotton asking a buyer what -he will give, we want to see the farmer bulk his cotton in big lots when buyers will be coming along *to know just what you have and what you want for it. Educational and Co-operative Union. There is a big thing in this name! It implies that when the farmer becomes educated well up on the business side of his farming that he will then know the value of the co-operation and joiu in a united work for the good of all. Some few men amoDg many have it "sot" in their selfish bigoted minds that there should on most ev ery occasiou be something lying about for them that others don't get. These men are not tumbling over each other coming iuto the Farmers' Union, and they are usually worth nothing to the Union until that selfish, rusty shell is scrubbed off of fcLem. Farmers must step tbat set habit they have of growling about what others are doing against the interest of the farmer when they meet and then go back home and wait for something to tnrnup in your behalf. Farmers must get together and turn something up themselves for their own interest or it will not be done. Get together and organize Farmers' Uuions all over the country and then you will be in shape to demand -and get fair play in all things and an equitable division of the good things and pleasures of the days as they go by if you will co-operate and work together for the good of all. Farmers, above all classes m?n <?n earth, can afford to get together and attend to their own business in .their'own way and let other people's business alone save when they get in the way of our progress. Plant all the cow peas and forage crops possible. Never hold up planting something as long ts you thiuk it will come iu. Late | hay crops are often best. j ~ Get Your Gud Ready for Tbis Chap Wbeo be Gets to Your House. I j An impostor under the name of ; an eye doctor, is reported to this j office us having just passed through | portions of Oconee, Pickens and j Anderson counties in a great hurry i selling brass frame spectacles for $10 ! that can be bought anywhere for $1 | to $1 50 each. His plan of getting ! a start in a section is to learu the name of a prominent physician and ; a few good men in the country, fie first succeeds in making some prom! inent men believe, by lying, that the , prominent doctor has sent him?the eve doctor?to fit him up with a.$10 pair of glasses. When this sale has j been made this circulating eye doc iui na? line i;wu mau o uauir iv ucv on the next good man, and a kind , of endless chain, rapid moving business is on. The family actually sold sometimes as much as $40 worth to families in sight of each other. "Get your gun, Johuny." ' Dou't kill him or break any bones, | for it would be a pity to take the [ time of good men to either wait 011 or bury such a scamp. But when you get him on the retreat down the ! road, let him have a mild load of bird shot on the soft part just below the hip'pockets; thiscounter-iritant will not only encourage him on his way bat it will make it more comfortable walking than sitting down for many days, which will keep him walking. Don't be afraid of him laving you; suchVamps can never atiora to nsK tne law. Id Nemorlani. Another old veteran has passed over the river.
