This Is a question of vital importan
every man In the county, for on the prl
cotton depends our prosperity. These gi
men are anxious to meet every man wl
In anywise luteiested In this suhji-et. 1
bers of tbe Farmers Union have a spf-otn
vltatlon to comeactd hear the plan as w
outlined by these speakers.
All three of these men are good speake
those wbo have bea;d them will attest.
If the millions of cotton growers (
South would pay a little more attentl
the sale of their product It might mean
llona of dollars to tbe South.
There Is one thing connected with lb<
ton movement which is much to be regi
and that la the spirit of rivalry betweei
Southern Cotton Growers Association
the Farmers Educational and Co-opei
Union. "The bouse divided against
cannot stand."
l'be truth of this statement Is as Imr
ble as tbe laws of tbe Medes and Peri
and as long as there are farmers wt
working for the welfare of any parti
organization merely as an organlzatlo
stead of for the good to be accompl
through tbe organization, no good ca

Sncb a man can only stir up strife.
theBe organizations are strong and tbr
no doubt that both have done a great aui
of good, bat they ought to get closer toge
There should be some action taken to
the amalgamation, or at leaBt tbe fratei
tlon. of these two great forces. The;
working toward the same end, they ar
same people, why should they be at
purposes? As a rale man does not in
confidence in yoa by attacking others w
purpose, zeal and integrity go anquestii
and when a man In tbe farmers' unloi
tacks the Cotton Association, or a lead
tbe Association fights tbe Union you
know nomethlnx Is wrong.
These two organizations have tbe

Does tbe Order of Railroad Engineers
tbe Order of Conductors ? No. Does th
der of Plumbers fight the Order of Plum
No. Do you know of any labor organizt
that fights other Jabor organizations?
What, then. In the name of reason, do
expect when one cotton* organiza
fights another, the interests of
two being identical. The result is il
table?defeat for both, if not defeat at
very poor success.

Death of a ttood Woman.
Mrs. Matilda Howard Lyon, wife of J
J. Fuller Lyon, died at her bome In Co
bla, 8. C., Friday, June 21, 1907, aged i
years. Several year of her life were ?
In Abbeville. She was rich In those v
anly graces that attract even tbe passe
and those who knew her best loved
most.
Mrs. Lyon was twice married.' Her
husband, Mr. Upchurch, was a promt
man of Ralelgb, N. C. In December, 1896
married Judge J. Fuller Lyon, who ha
ways enjoyed the highest esteem and o
dence of the people of this county. '
have been living for several years In Col
bla, where Judge Lyon holds a posltlo
Bond Clerk In the State Treasurer's offlc<
There were times of deep mourning
aore trial In Mrs. Lyon's life; notably v
her only daughter, Mrs'. A. M. Smith,
strlc&en down In the flower ct young woi
hood. This daughter, beautiful ana ac
pllshed, was the pride of the mother's b
and her death lelt a weight of constant
row there.
Mrs. Lyon's remains were taken to
elgh, her old home, for burial

Best Evidence of Prosperity.
Twenty years ago there were less than
students m the leading male colleges of
State. Clemson College was then not In
lstenoe. During the past year these same
leges had an attendance of something
2000 students and In addition to this Clec
had 600 students on her roll. Nor Is tbli
Folly 200 students were turned away ]
Clemson for lack of accommodations.
What Is the meaning of this Increase*
terest In higher education ? Is It slmplj
other evidence of prosperity or is It an et
tlonal awakening? The large attendan
Clemson can be explained in part. It sit
fulfills a purpose that was long lgnore<
our people, and the popularity of the Ins
tlon Is the best evidence of the lmporlan
that purpose. Before the advantages ol i
entiflo education were offered, the farmei
looked with dismay upon those literary 1
tutiODB which grind out preachers and pr
slonal men and plowed on. Clemson bae

and tbe band. Bat tbe Interest In edacc

apparent than In our common schools w

1 r\t game was Immediately suspended. An amJ
VX bulance was sent for and the body was taken '
back to the home from which be had but an
L. _ _ hour before left In apparent good health.

Beautifying (he Monument.
If the Daughters of the Confederacy artopen
to suggestions as to boj? to beautify the
surroundings of the Coulederate Monument,
t we would like to make Just one suggestion.
Mr. 8. M. Shiver, If we are correctly informal_
ed. has very generously given $100 for building
an Iron fence around the monument. We
would auggest that the fence be put op ft
once; and that the ground within the fence
fly and the earth now piled up above the coping
iU be fertilized and both places well set or sod"fli
ded with blue grass. All .the sod that is
/(\ neceesarv can be bad from the enclosure In
front of law range which will soon be
"Ai covered by the new Court House building.
The -sodding can be done at practically no
cost, and In a short time the base of the mon&
mentwlll be a thing ofbeanty Instead of an
? W eye sore.

Parmerg Are Not Getting Enoah For
Their Product*.
When farmers can afford to pay as
jigh wages fur Geld hands as such la- ^
jorers are getting in town, and farm-'
families can afford to dress as well ?
is other folks and enjoy tbe good
;hinga generally that people other,
callings are <Joing, men me laruieio
are getting euougb for their products.
But until that time comes farmers
ire not on equal terma with other oc->
pupations.
Of course good management in sell* j
ing farm products and taking care of
the money after it is made, has as.
much to do with how the farmer gets
Hie benefit of his labor as making good
crops and getting good prices.
Here is where suob thriftless farmers
gaio by joiniuga good Farmers'Union.
He then cau set the benefit of the ex- , .
perience of the best men in the country,
and learn their method of business,
and get as much for his pcoduots
and buy bis supplies as cheap as anybody
in the whole country. One reckless
man who struck the glutted market
on cabbage In a little town ruined
prices for every body by selling out at
half price before he would carry his '
stuff back home and feed it to his 7
stock. This one reckless man net rul- >
nous prices on all his neighbors' truck ''
for the lack of information.

The following resolutions ananlv ^
mously adop.ed by Bounty Land ?ocal
Union No. 98.
W hereas, there is a move on foot in.
thin state and throughout the South to
fill our Southland with foreign immi- "
grants, and whereat*, we look upon the
movement as being highly demmen- \
ta) to farming inteaests of this ooan-.
try, inasmuch as it promise? nothing to
anyone except tbe extreme large
laud owners, and the speculative corporations.
And whereas, we see that
it cheapens farm labor and increases >'? ;
production and lowers prices for farm
products. Therefore be it resolved,
That we must em pathetically 'oon?v$|
demn the movement, and ask repre- ,
aentatives in the general assembly to {
use all means in their power to defeat
any measure leading to tbe immigTation
movement in this state.
