The Press and Bann Bv W. W. and W, R, Bradlei HUUH WILSON, Editor. ABBEVILLE, S. C -WPubllslied every Wednesdp at year In advance. Wednesday, June 26, 19C Smith, Hyatt, anil Wenton to s?| On July 25, at tbe Court House Mr. ] Smith, President of tbe South Carollc vision of the Southern Cotton Growers elation; Mr. F. H. Hyatt. National Pres of tbe Association; and Mr. Erank We Seoretary of tbe State Association will i speeches anent the coming price of cotto 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 orne. Th? malorlty of the farmerB are workii the wellare of tbe farmer, bat tbere are in both these organizations wbo are pi against each other instead of together, a man is not wortby to lead the fai 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 same end in view and they should so shall their force as to work in perfect mony. 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. T^? tho loQfiera n'thpjifi two oreaniza get together and frame a policy by w both can work In harmony. Amalgami Is not necessary, bat some unity of actl absolutely essential to success. i Tbere are good men In both organlzat TheUnlon man thinks the best results ci obtained through the Union. The Uni( tbe place for him. The Association thinks tbe most good oan be aooompll through tbe Association. Tbe Assoclatl the place for blm. But let both work In mooy or both will accomplish nothing. ? 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 It within bis power to train both tbe 1 and tbe band. Bat tbe Interest In edacc bas Increased everywhere In tbe State one hundred per cent. This Is no where i apparent than In our common schools w re have much larger terms and fully do tbe enrollment of twenty years ago. Let tbe good work go on. An educated pie will be an Independent people ai thrifty people.

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.
