J In additiou to addresses made by . specialists on farm topics of National . reputation, Pres. E. D. Smith of the . Cotton Association, Pres. B. Harris, of Stock Breeders Association, and J. CStribling, of the South Carolina Far- ? mers's Union Bureau have been named ^q, by the directors in charge to address . the farmers during tbis meeting. gy. The South Carolina Farmers' Union h^ve also arranged to have the nation- lo^ aj president of the Farmers' Union, ^ U. l*'. Duckworth, formerly ot Texas, ^ to be with ua on Farmers' Union day ^ on the evening of Tuesday, 7th of Au- ? KU8t- lie The usual excursion Railway rates ^ and cheap fare at the college has been < arranged for and there is now nothing < to hinder the farmers of the State from coming out in full force to have ? a good week's holiday at the farmers college and learn something too. 1st] IbI It is Dot the amount or quantity 1 that you eat that couuts in building "&l up the human body, this depends i largely upon the digestive powers of tine the individual, about how much of the food goes to the sustenaLce of the ly i body. So it is with our cotton mar- in i kets. If we overload the stomach hill witn loo mucn ncn rooa our puysicai nei nature revolts at the gorge and not wa only repels the overload in the stom- hej ach but the sight of such food becomes tht obnoxious to us. If we will only learn " to feed the cotton market with just alt* the proper amouut of cotton required 4 for consumption the market will al ohe ways be healthy and hungry for cot- all ton. But juBt so soon as we glut the D? market by dumping too much cotton juu upon the already full market, then the Shi whole cotton business becomes nause- ' a ted and the producers are compelled to take doses prescribed by the doctors It i of the cotton market who then reap fflr the profits that should have gone to ' the growers of cotton. You cannot regulate this cotton trade without or- ' ganizing the cotton farmers and put- ^ tinit up warehouses to hold the cotton _ ' off the market until consumers need ^ the cotton. Come over and join the Farmers'Union and we will then be 80( in position to save these profits for you. Dot oui State President O. P. Goodwin and . * State Organizer Mahaffy of the South , Carolina Union, we are informed, bad F" a rousing meeting in the county near ^ Greenwood last week, where they or- ^ ganized a local with 24 members on . the fl^t call. ^ This Greenwood meeting sounds Ut1 like the farmers are in it and ready to ^ linn un. and.'and that about all thev lack is to get together and learn the ^ objects and aims of the Union and ? when they have the proper under- jjj standing of our aims and good works ^ they will fall right into line at once mo lor good to all our interest. 1 The Farmers' Union can, and will (jal help all farmers that will try to help oa] themselves.

When Captain Grant, formerly of t) egular army, was appointed colonel of a llinois regiment in place of Colom }oode, Jo^n A. Logan while esoortin lim to the camp said: "Colonel, the ref nent is a little onjndy. Do you think ft an manago tho boys?'' "I think I can," replied Grant. Logan and McClernand, two congioa nen, made patriotic speeches, and Logai ifter a two hours' ^ration, led forward [uiet man in plain citizen's clothes, aa; ng: "Allow me to present to you your nsr lommander, Colonel U. S. Grant." "Most of the soldiers observed him f< he first time," writes Hamlin Garlanc rom whose "Life of Grant" we ha\ [uotod. "They were astonished and 41 appointed." Grant looked like a gzn^ ountry dootor. But he showed that I ould manage the " unruly boys." The: vero loud calls: "GrantI Grant! peech!" Their late colonel used 1 'orate" before them. The new colon itepped two paces toward them and sal n a clear, calm voice: "Men, go to your quarters I" If an 8 inch shell had exploded In the anks, the "boys" would not have bee nore surprised, but they went to the luarters. There was that In tho new ?ol< lei's voice which expressed ommanc Che tone was not loud, but tt was give vlth a clear cut inflection which showe dm a master of men. That evening atdressjparade, aa herte] >ed to tho center of the regiment, wearin 10 uniform save a pair of gray trousec vith a stripe running down the outsic earns and an old sword, the men jested i aw voices about their new commander. Colonel Goode, the late colonel, not ii requently used the daily parade as an o taalon to make a speech, and the men ei >ected one from Grant. The line offioa kdvanced, and the adjutant saluted. "A soldier's first duty is to learn toob< da orumander. I shall expect my orde: 10 be obeyed as exactly and as instantly i f we were on the field of battle." That was all he said. As the m? narched back to quarters a private askec 'What do they mean by sending down lttle man like him to command this reg nentf He can't pound dry sand In itraight hole." "He can't make a speech. Look at tl slothes he wears. Who is he anyhow?" "Boys," retorted a sergeant, "I'll te rou who he is. He's the colonel of th egiment, as you'll find, and don't 70 target it." The sergeant was a prophet. The reg nent had obtained all the liquor it wishe 'or. Grant stopped that. A man resist* irrest. "What's the matter?" asked Grant < ;he officer of the day. "The man persists In bringing llqtu nto camp and refuses to give It up." "Put him into the guardhouse. "He refuses to go."

Only a dislike to owe ?*; mysulf beaten and the occasional fascina^ * tlon which compensated for the moro fro j queDt discomfort kept me in the office, ?! But all this mm befcrro thu day I was sen< H to interview tas wife and daughtor of the man who had just disturhod society bj disappearing from it. %> Mr. Grey, ao It bad been learned from the notices ooncerning his .disappearance, * had one evening after dinner gone out foi ^ a 6troll around the block. He had novel oome baok. Hie family was of course " prostrated after the manner of families on such sad occasions. After giving him )f time to come baok, sending to his clubs, ^ his offlco and the bouses of his friends hii wife had finally told his lawyers, and syi * tematic search was begun. The famllj 79 had retired from publlo Iffe and denied ' themselves to every one, oonsequentlj * my chances for an interview with Mra ^ Grey did not see hopeful, but the oity ed' itor's air of granting mo the opportunity " 1 had been longing for made me loath U admit my fears. I took the train for the Greys' ?the] lived a little way out of town?and pre i* pared myself to meet the servants? scorc in and the other attendant evils of suoh ar ^ assignment. The coach was an ordlnarj one, and there were several laboring met In it, evidently traveling to some suburt ^ where they were to work upon the roads * for they oarried pickaxes and shovels. There sat opposite me and slightly forP* ward a peculiar type of man to whom ] found my gaze waouenu^ every io^y mmra utas. Bis Iron gray hair was thick and 'a very unevenly out. His faoe was covered 11 with a stubbly growth of gray beard. H< looked unwashed, unkempt and generallj *" unpleasant. His blue overalls were stain ed with red olay and his red flannel shirt c* oponed at the front in a way that revealed n anything but a beautiful nook, burnec and blistered. But the man's twitching 1 lips and convulsive movements of the jawi attracted my attention, and his deep Ml, w steely blue eyes that burned in cavernoui sockets fascinated me. He did not talk tc n the other men, but sat with his head sun) 1; npon bis breast, only occasionally railing a It to cast a look about him. He, with thi i" other laborers, left the train at Forestvllle, a where the Greys lived, and I soon sa* them, under tlie direction of a foreman, w assigned to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see ma H I sat in the libfary while the servant tool my card to her, for there were other callen ? In the drawing room. Over the mantei hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey, dose in ofl. She was as beautiful as i cameo and as hard. Opposite her was th< d portrait of a clean shaven man, with fin< iron gray hair brushed off his forehead?i * more plebeian oast of countenance, bul stroma; and interesting. The face seemec >' familiar. I stared at it until the serranl returned. "Mrs. Grey is sorry, miss, butt eheoai tee no one, and has nothing to say toi V publication." 18 "Very well," said I. Then I rose to go 18 "Is that Mr. Grey?" I asked, nodding H toward the picture. ^ "Yes, miss," was the reply, and sud * denly it flashed upon me where I had seei 8 those deep set, curiously shaped, keen blu< 7 eyes. My heart leaped almost into mj " mouth. . I took one long look at the por trait and left the house. The mpn were repairing the road, and ] 19 noticed one of the workmen whose fac< 1* startled me. The resemblance to the por 58 trait I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarka 01 ble. He worked with a fierce delight ii 111 the severe labor. His face seemed mort mad than ever, with the exultation of no tion and strength deepening the gleam ii his eyes. gj There was a telegraph office at the eoi ^ of the street. I 6ent a message to the oitj ,|. editor. "Send a man to Forestville at r. once," was my command. Then whUe 1 paced the street and walked about the square I reflected upon the welcome 1 j. would receive if I bad made a mistake. Every minute I became mo e and mon |(j oonvinccd that I had mado the most oolos ^ sal blunder on record. By the time Mr Ellington Ellsworth, the only man who Cl happened to bo available when my tele h gram was received, had arrived I wa? T tr>1ri Mr. RllRWOrth 3I my theory, and he was properly skeptical, Ho discouraged mo thoroughly In aboul ^ two minutes, but I suddenly rallied. "Well," I remarked, taking command ^ "I want you to keep that man ln.elghtv. ] v shall go to town and get his lawyer. Flni out what train they go in on, and IT t meet you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to aot upor that suggestion, but he finally consented to do to. I went in, summoned Mr i Grey's lawyer and with him met the worklngmen'i train. Mr. Ellsworth, looking bored and unhappy, got out and pointed out o?r suspected "disappearance" tc his lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth. Was I to be forever disgraoed or made fa 111 mous foreverP r* "Mr.-Grey," said the lawyer, steppinj 31 forward, "what doee this mean?" 11 And when I sarir'the man start wildly 3 brtffw thnt I was mot forever dlsaraoed. 11 " "Well," said the city editor jovially 11 "what did they say?" "They didn't gay any thing. They didn't aeeme." ' "So you didn't get the Interview*" ui< the city editor shortly. rt "No," I replied meekly, "but I fount * the missing man." * And now, suoh is the irony of fate, thi oity editor, instead of letting me rest 01 . my laurels, is always exhorting me to llv< 91 up to the reputation I made in the Qrej oase, when , I found the missing man " learned how overwork had worn out hli " brain and how in his half orazed oondl tion he wandered away and returned U ~~ his original ocoupation in life, to the hor ror of his wife with the oameollke face.
