Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, Representative in Cone res* f-om the Third District, wa? in Charleston yesterday for tbe purpose of witnessing with his ovn e.vew rlie fiist frui s of a movetnept which he has done much to promote, to >e^ for hitnseli the arrival of the Wittekind. It was a very graceful thing for Mr. Aifeen to do, this coming to Charleston to welcome in person Col, Watb'ju and bis European recruitw, but it was no more than was to be expected of him. In season and out of season he has voiced bis belief i'n tbe immigration movemeut. When the mstter was first brought up he did not wait to test tbe popularity of the movement with the people, but, believiug in it himself, he set about to do what he could to popularize it. The district which Mr. Aiken represents in Congress is one of the mr'st progressive in South Carolina. It is now, and It has always been, dominated by the wbite man. Its people are thrifty and intelligent. I hey inow how to improve the parsing moment and they know also how to prepare for the mo row F- r the mar whom tney have chueeu to represent them in Congress, in the seat so long graced by his lamenied father, to come to Charleston on this occasion was, a> we have said, a flue thing, a fitting recognition of a movement of extraordinary importance to the whole State. It is only another evidence ot the fact that Mr. Aiken is at all times 1 their faithful Representative. ~News ( and Courier.

Their nom1 bers are now In the tens of t housands and lnI c-caslng dally. The influence of the organl zation Is beginnidg to be felt. The farmerare doing things. It is a herculean task they ? have undertaken, but they are going at It w with a stolid determination to assert tbelr _ rights and to better the deplorable conditions uuder which they are laboring at present They are endeavoring to shake themselves free from that hydra headed monster, that ? money tentacled tncubus, Wall street. II It is galling to the farmer to see the result _'ol h's sweat and toll bandied about In shutt'p, cock fashion on the New York exchang". What right have those men to take the c< tti?i of the South and use it like a stack of nnlror nhltiD1) 1 ,ocr 11! m tit ft hnvl ntr o.nrf Rplllna Is nil rleht, but gambling on tbe product ol > r our toll is a heinous sin. Can any Individual l ot that nest of check trousered high gambling crooks explain bow futures in New York car> be a cent lower than spots in Abbeville? Can they explain bow a seat in tbe "nest" is intrlnhlcally worth ninety or a hundred tboohhiid dollars? Dues any one believe tbi-t such a thing Is free from graft? If the truti ? were known about tbat cotton Monte Carlo it would freeze the red b'ocd in your veins. 1> the farmers only knew how tbe check trousered gang of the "nest" have squeezed their precious product below Its market value, bought it at nothing a pound and sold It at a ( fat nroflt tbat should be tbe farmers, they would surely do something. The farmers are working at tbe problem now. Tbe union and tbe cotton association are laboring to tbe same end, with differenl methods. There are many things In which the farmers can better their conditions. There is certain legislation needed that can only be obtained through ihe farmers work- , ing as a unit; ' The Farmers Union of Abbeville began un- 1 der favorable auspices two years ago, and there Is no doubt bat that It accomplished some good. For some reason It has ceased to flourish us it should. Ealr prices prevailed and Interest In tbe union began to lag. Now, the farmers of this county are the best men In the world when It comes to sound oltizensblp, but they are In a sleep as deep a* tbe sleep of Rip Van Winkle when It comes to a question of tbe farmers interest. In making cotton the same old, In selling It tbe same old style, In getting their prices from tbe "nest" in the same old manner. In looking on the foreign ttade in the same old attitude, they are universally, supinely satisfied. |No. no, they arejiot satisfied, but they feel that they are powerless and are consequently Inactive. If one of the checked pantalooned fraternity from the ' nest" should get into the .'armers shoes lie would wltrgle like a bait worm on *. hot stove until he got off, or out. Tbe tarmers are ugreed not to let tb.a union here eo defunct, and the first Sat urday in De, cember Is tbe day appointed for the reorganization of the county union. Let all come who will? No. All are expected to attend? No. Your kindly presence 1b solicited at this meeting?

Read the Farmers' Column In this paper or In the "State," or any paper, and see what they are trying to do and are doing, Lend a band and help Abbevlle to catch up with Anderson and otber counties. If you are not able to attend tbe meetings come to this meeting any way and encourage tbe cause this far. You have nothing to lose and If the Union wins in its f flght you will have much to g?ln. * Remember tbe date. First Saturday in December. By order of the President. ? Local*.
