A Public Statement Authorized by th< Bitiie Council of the'Farmers' EduICHtlonnl nnd J Co-operative Union Una Been leaned. The state council of the Farmers1 Educational and co-operative Union of South Carolina, at the meeting Leld in Anderson lust week, decided tc make known to the public at large the following main object* of its mission in our state: First. To teach our farmers how tc produce profitable crops. Second. How best to market our products so as to turn the profits ol our produce into the bauds of producers. instead of allowing the nonproducers to reap tnese profits. To tbe PrettH of tbe State, We believe tbat it will be to tbe mutual interest of the Farmers' Union and the press of the country for tbe Farmers' Union to use and advocate its cause and principles through all the established newnpapers of the country ; without preference so long as the prea ent friendly, aoa coraiai relations Between tbe Farmers' Union and the press of tbe slate prevails. To itae Farmers or South Carolina. 1 We believe that tbe farmers of tbe state appreciate tbe fact tbat the farmers should bave an organization of their own composed exclusively of > farmers. We believe tbat no other occupation that has an organization of its own can consistently object to farmers having an organization of its own, composed^entireiy of farmers. 'me f armers union propose 10 attend to its own farming huBinesp, id its own way without making any attempt at pulling down other T gitimate occupation?, or business in order to build up our farming interest. In order to fortify 'our position hi* demanding profitable prices for our money crop cotton, and inforcing the same, the Farmers Union urges its members and all other farmers of the cott n belt to raise all home supplies ou their farms tbat will grow there profitably. Our Farmers Union discourages the system of buying maby supplies (tbat could be grown on our southern farms) at high rates for the purpose of crowing the one crop-cotton, which invariably causes our cotton to be sold at force sales to pay for supplies obtained at high rates. Oar Relntloos With the Soalbera Cotton Association. - A* 1 * L- _ Yvny mere buouiu ijoi oe any inution between their member*? Because we have the same interest at stake as to profitable prices to the producers of cotton! Because we should be liberal enough towards each other to permit each organization to attain its objects in it* own way! Because we feel It ji duty we owe each other to btand together! Because every interest of the south is staked upon a profitable price to the producer of our great staple crop cotton! Because the Farmers Union is strictly a farmers organization! Btcanae all other Interests have their seperate and distinct organiza lions, auu me uutiuu aseociauuu is au amalgamated or coherent organization, where all Interest in the cotton belt can come together in grand conference for the welfare of our common Interest, which anchor around profitable prices to the producers of cotton! Because we all live here together in the southland, where cotton is king! 1 Because when foreign interests combine to reduce profits to the produce) 1 of cotton,# and succeed in doing it * every dollar thus forced out of the pro ducers hands that goes to foreign in terests, is just so many dollars taker out of the south, which will sooner 01 later be felt in every vein and artery of our whole system of industries anc trades, whose pulsations are sent forth from one heart which is embeded up i on the fleecy staple cotton! Because it is the right thing to teach 3 an 01 our men aim wuujuu iuui iuert is something better in the land thai P selfishness! J. C. Stribling, Anderson County* T. H.

Form al proceedings in both the senate ant house followed the regular routine o opening day. In the senate the most spectacula: feature was the sweariug in of sixty one new senator*. In the house rh< election of Speaker Cannon, his speed and the drawing of seats by memberi were tbe chief incidents.

That Se? m? to Be Only Rotation ol Fearfnl Situation. St. Petersburg, (via Eydtkuhnen, HiMi rru!?t?ia;,uec. 4,-ine situation here continues as periods as caD be imagined. The belief is growing, even among many of moderates, that the only way by which the country can b?Baved from complete ana iciiy in through the practical abdication of the czar, and the appointment of a triumvirate dictatorship, composed of the Grand Duke Kicnoias, General Trepoff and Count Alexis Ignatieft. who shall hold the ruling power until order has been restored. The mass of the population, undoubtedly, would we; come anything which would restore quiet to the country. Strikes have effected every one adversely and pecpie are tired of {hie situation. It is impossible for any one to walk through the streets of St. Petersburg, except the principal thoroughfares. without the risk of being held up by toughs. Witte's method of governing is condemned everywhere and the prediction is freely offered that bis fall will come before the end of the year. m m CHINESE ABANDON BOYCOTT, Celestial* Feared (he Wrnlh of the * ttod of Water. " Ban Francisoo, Nov. 30.?Fearing the wratb of the " god of water " would be visited on them the Chinese of Shanghai and vicinity have, it is said, given up the boycotting of American goods. This change of sentiment was caused by the destruction by water of a large quantity of goods wh'cb were stored in the basement of the business bouses in the Chinese port. They bad been placed there by tbe Chinese merchants when the boycott was first instituted. This occurred during the in uDelation of that portion of the"Cbiuet-e coast duriDg a typhoon aud tidal wave of a month ago. The news of lifting of the boycott and the unusual means which brought it about came here on the steamer Doric yesterday.
