Mill FARMERS' EDUCA11ONAL AND CO-OPERATIVE UNION * -,-OF AMERICA - Pickens County Union Column J. T. BOGGS, REV. W. C. SEABORM and JOE. MILLER, Committee In Charge. It seems, Mr. Editor there are a good number of farmers who are standing aloof from the organization known as the Farmers Union, waiting to see it succeed, waiting to see it get the minimum price for their cot ton. Now let us look at one cause that has kept the minimum price from being an accomplished fact. Suppose the farmers of this state were thoroughly or ganized and would fix a day and every man that had cotton stored in the mill warehouses in th's state would all go the same day and call for their cotton to be delivered to them (the farm ers). What would happen? Would it not cause some of the mills of this state to pay any price they could get cotton at so as to pay back to some of those farmers who have stored with them for the last two or three years? Think about this matter .and then ask yourself the ques tion: Who is to blame for cot ton not reaching the minimum .before now? Now I want to say in justice to Mr. John M. Geer of the Eas ley cotton mill, that he has a ware house in which cotton is stored and not used until paid for. But it is the only one that I know of in the state; there may he others, but I don't know of them. Now if we furnish them the cotton to run on, where is there anything to cause the price to go up! I know there are many who have not done this, but how many have done it. Now, when you think this matter over, whether you are a union man or not, you will readily see one of the causes why the min imnum has not been reached. I know of some who have sold then' cotton at a stated price with the understanding that they were to get the rise for two or three months. It seems by this act of theirs they have con fidence in something to cause the price to go up, but have made a trade and performed a deed to keep the price down. Suppose that ever~y farmer do this: Put our cotton in the mnanufacturers' hand for a cer ~tain price and if the price in a month or so we will get it. Don't you see the trick? Noth ing to cause the rise until the *time limit is out, then they can run it to where they please and we are none the better off. Bro. Farmer, we need more knowledge to succeed In our *.msiness; the Farmers Union .has extended its hand to us as an educator to help us to go to gether as a common brother ,hood. JOIL H. MILLER. ?Te Degree of Punishment, tlittle Bobby had been persist, ireftly miischievous throughout 'the 41ay,tand late in the after. noon his mother deelded to stop the yougster's antics. "Belsby, if you do not cease anunoying me I Shallesend you to bed without your suxpper,'" she warned. An Exodrsim We, the mountain boys, did band, And rode to see the Charleston sand; We from Anderson made our start With "Colonel" to help us with our uart Station by station we swiftly passed, Till we reached the coast at last. We from the dingy depot did proceed Dver to a little street named Reed; And we did get a bed that night With the mosquitoes we did fight; The next morning our glorious band Made a start for the Isle * Palms. And when the ship reached the land We got on the cars for the Isle of Palms; at the Isle of Palms we- did stay rill. near the closing of the day; Made for the cars in the after noon at three, For on the other side we wished to be. So our guide did not at the cars advance, For while in bathing some one stole his pants; So we made our homeward run Without him in the glorious fun; And for our guide's home we did heat, Peeling very weary from loss of sleep. And when at his home our sup per we did take, Preparing for our journey to make And when at last the train did proceed For upper Carolina, with the "Colonel" in the lead But when we got a few miles away D~ur passengers were feeling very gay. But before we reached Augusta ground. The passengers were sleeping very sound; And when the sun had begun to shine We had crossed the Georgia line; And when we reached the An derson dirt One man with a pair of knuckE gat hurt. And when we reached Ander son town The rain was calling on the ground; And we at the dingy depot did await Until 'we canight the mixec freight; And we then for Seneca. dic ride, Feeling very sleepy and verj tired. Up through Pendleton the trait did ship, The "Colonel" still holding fas1 to hisgrip; And when we reached the Seri eca mill siding I gave m-ffriend~s a farewel bidding; Soon the train in Seneca Ai4 slip And that was the nd of th Charleston tri.
