SEABORN ond JOEL MILLER, Committee In Charge. Problems Confronting the Unton. We want to get in touch with every farmer, and study each other's needs, financially and politically, and all work together to .one purpose-for the, better ment of the agricultural inter ests of this great country of ours, carefully weighing and investi gating the different problems will have on the said interests, as -that is the side of the propo sition.it is our duty to- look after. We dwnit,need-to-be whinney ing around after some oily tongued politician, cotton bear, or one of their sympathizers, ex Decting any ponsideration of our interests from them, as they are too actively engaged in the skin ning business on their own ad count. While we are toiling on producing a living for and the wealth of the nation, they are meandering around planning how to get the lion's share of the profits of the toiler's labor. One of the sickening sights to be seen at times is a farmer who -will show himself so igno, ant - s to be taken in by one of these oily-tongued fellows and gulp down a fine tale of conditions, .of the crops, of the markets, and hiw the farmer ought or ought not to do, as the case may be, and he would do, so much -,better. But for such people we would have better times. Men of that stripe are constantly mouthing around finding fault with the Union, e3pecially if something a little unfavorable to their spe cial interest happens. Let every member attend his ~Union the balance of this -month, as some important mat tei's are to be voted on; so be on Jhand and vote as you think best, .or forever after hold your peace. JOHN T. BOGs. The Man Behind the Plow. There's been a lot to say about the man behind the gun, And folks have praised him high ly{for the noble work he's He won a lot of honor for the land where men are free It was him that sent the Span lards kitin' back across the sea. But he's had his day of glory, had his little spree, and now There's another to be mentioned -he's the vman behind the plow. A battleship's a wonder and an -army's mighty grand, .And waxrrin'' a profession only heroes uniderstand; There's somethin' sort 'o' thrillin' in a flag that's wavin' high, And it makes you -want to holler wvhen the boys go marchiff' by. Buait when the shoutin's over and the fightin's done,.somehow We find we're still dependin' on the man behind the plow. They sing about the glories of the man behind the gun, And the books are full of stories of the wonders he has done; The world has been made over by the fearless ones who fight; Lands that used to be in dark ness they have opened to the light; When God's children snarl the soldier has to settle up the row, An' folks haven't time for think in' of the man behind the plow. In all the pomp and splendor of an army on parade, And through all the awful dark ness that thq smoke of battles made; In the halls where juwels glitter and where shoutin' men de-, b ate; In the palaces where rulers deal out honors to the great, There's not a single person who'd be doin' bizness now. Or have medals if it wasn't for the man behind the plow. We're buildin' mighty cities and we're gainin' lofty heights; We're winnin' loti of glory and we're settin' things to rights; We're show in' all creation how the world's affairs should run; Future men'll gaze in wonder at Mthe things that we have done, And they'll overlook the feller, just the same as we do now, wV ho's the whole conc .rn's foun dation-that's the man behind the plow. -S. E. Kiser. Cateeoee, As we have just finished read inv the contents of the last issue of t ie,.-J., and as'it is so much like getting a letter from' some dear friend or relative, we de cided to pencil a few thoughts to its next "make-up." We got out of sorts last week and used some words we would not use before the editor, unless we could run, because we never received the S.-J. last week, but when we received this week's issue and noted the cause, we were like a child that had re ceived a good case of "Captain Green's grandson"-shed a few tears, pouted a little, and all the trouble was over. ! But we do think we ought to' receive the SENTINEL-JOURNAL at this llace sooner than we do. We are only abaut 20 miles from where the .paper is published, taking it by railway-the 'way the papers haye to come. The paper goes to press not lat( r than Thursday, and we -don't receive It until Saturday, and most of the time on Monday. Now, Mr. Editor, we are not "cussihg" any one, but if cot ton don't go up, meat and corn come down, and the S. -J.- get to Cateechee sooner, we are going. to take our churcly letter out a few days and give somebody "Hail Columby." Of course "Uncle Zeke" is not at Pickens, and like the Irish man, we will "cuss" him, too, if he don't send us a copy of that "tar-heel" paper. :.Well, taking it as a whole, the cotton will soon all be gath ered. "A short horse Is soon carried.". With present prices and low wages, what -are the poor peo ple and sinners going to do? Cotton mill hands that made $1.50 per day twelve months ago are no v making 85@90c per day. Wages down and every thing we have to eat and wear going up. Will somebody please explain the trouble? Wonder If the Union men are holding their cotton this time? Talk about raising cotton! If any oae will visit Capt. J. C. A4arrett's place, near Norris,i k iown as the Garvin Parsons place, and see how he is farm ing it will be worth your trip' for what you can see and learn.; I besides, no one can ever get sleepy or lonesome In Mr. Garn tett's company. Mr. G. has manured a'nd improved his ace until he has already pickd two ' bales from two acres this year,, and will get another bale off the same.ground. Frank Mauldin, who lives on the place, will pick three bales from about two acres this year. Mr. Garrett has as fine corn on what was a worth less pasture five years Ago as you can find , anywhere this year. He has a beautiful home under a nice grove about mid way of this farm, with a well of as pure water as ever run out of a mountain. He is well fixed. Norrris now has as fine a: church as there is in the county,| that is for a country church. Mr. Garrett is' the promoter of it. Sabbath school every Sun (lay morning; preaching every 4th Sunday at 11 a. m. That ever-ready N. P. of Ca. teechee, J. Alonzo Brown, had. started from his stables to his boarding place for dinner, when i he met a young man, Theodore Lollies, and a. young lady, Miss Georgia Williams, both of Lib erty, who said they wanted to be no more twain, but wished to be made as one flesh and blood. In a few minutes it was Mrs. Lollies instead of Miss Wil liams. B. Marietta-R F D 2. Health good, and cotton pick ing and sowing rye now in order in this community. There was an all-day singing at Friendship church the last third Sunday, and a great many Oolenoy people attended It. Roy Griffin isi visiting his grandfather and grandmother, Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Griffin. Mrs. Alfie- Garren has been very sick the past week. * Mrs. Walker Massihgill vis ited her mother, Mrs. Stephen Holder, last Saturday. Jack Neighbors has moved into 'his new dwellini. Geo. Garren has nearly com pleted his fine house. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Jones spent Sunday afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Will Keith. W@ are thankful for such a grand and beautiful fall. It has been so pleasant, and the sweet winter pinks are opening 1 so prettily. MAYBELLE. What Can be Done in This State. Speaking of the efforts of the Dapartment of Agriculture to stimulate interest in live stock raising in South Carolina, Hon. E. W. Dabbs, of Goodwill, Sum ter county, said yesterday that eight 'years ago his little boy had been made a present of a pair of sheep. Since that time the inerease from those two sheep has been . over 25 head, and they had sold N $200 worth of wool.and six had been killed for mutton. In addi tion, to this many wool blankets I had been made. The value of cattle raising; upon the farm was touched upon|I by Mr. Dabbs, too. In Aiddition' to the receipts for beef and hides, 2 Mr. Dabbs asserts that from,( every $25 worth of cotton seed meal and hulls fed the cows, $20, is returned in manures for the e farm, Then again there is the ( good value of butter, cheese and milk.-[T'he State.
