Conducted by S. C. Farmers' Union
Notice Farmer* I'nion.
The representation of delegates to
the South Carolina State Farmers Union
to be held at Greenwood the 25th,
2f>th and 27th of July next will be as
follows: one delegate at large from
each County Union aod oue for every
one hundred members or majority
fraction thereof. Counties not having
a county union, but having one or
more local unions, will be entitled to
oue delegate from each local union,
dues paid up.
All organizers whose commissions
have not expired are delegates. No
civil officer, county, State or national,
cau be a delegate.
This meeting is the snnual meeting
for the purpose of electing State officers,
and transacting any other business
for the good of the organization.
President Barrett of the National
Union and other prominent Union
men from other states as well as a
large number of prominent farmers of
the State are expected to attend this
meeting.
Getting Something for Nothing.
Getting good practical farmers to
quit their work to go out and work for
the Farmers' Union for nothing is all
that is in the way of spreading the
Farmers Union organization all over
i i ~ ?u
uur OvUiii ibuu iu a vcijr ouuu wuiic.
This prevailing idea amoDg farmers
to get something for nothing, or get
cheap men to do cheap work instead
of getting good men at good prices to
do good work is the biggest stumbling
block in the way of the progress of the
farmers organization. It takes a big
hook and a big bait to catch big fish
and bold the game?and a small fly
hook for minnows.
You cannot control the price of cotton
unless you can control the men
who hold the cotton.
The cotton grower can not prosper
while others price all he sells and buys,
any more than he could pull himself
out of mire by lifting at the straps of
his boot legs.
Help Yourself.
Don't ouarrel with others about not
helping the farmer when you are not
trying to help yourself.
Some farmers do a lot of bowline
and no work because they are too poor
?they think?to do anything else but
howl the calamity howl.
The man with manhood and plenty
of grit and energy in his make up
need never ask others to give him
room; about all this man ueeds is to
put bis natural talents to work with a
vim and the world will give him plen_
ty of room.
Why all this talk about organizing
the farmer of to-day when our daddies
and granddaddies lived better than we
do without any organization among
themselves?' Because, our daddies
and granddaddies produced almost everything
they needed to eat and wear,
upon their own farms excepting Bait,
sugar, iron and what little money,
they needed then to pay taxes whicb
for these small items was not very
hard to get out of his surplus cotton
and other crops ana stock.
And now we fool cotton growers have
for lo these many years been trying to
get rich buying all these things at the
other fellow's prices, and paying for
them with our cotton also at the other
fellow's prices. We ar& compelled to
organize before we can price our own
cotton.
The Farmer Declaring llis Independence.
[From ibe Weekly Newi, Denver, Colo.]
The American farmer is about to declare
bis independence of the speculator
of Wall street, and the movement
has not been initiated a day too
soon.
The farmer has worked aud worried,
and bis profit has been small. The
had crop worries were all for him.
He stood the loss alone. The specu1
- - -- J- 11/-)- A* ntA| I
laior iu me a ucurssiuro utu uu aa ncn
on a bad crop as on a good one.
We are glad to be able to tell our
readers that the farmers have made up
their minds to put au end to this system,
and that they have gone to work
intelligently.
Hitherto the farmer alone has bad
nothing whatever to say about the
price to be paid for what he actually
produced.
Bome man in Liverpool, some mill
owDer in tl e North, might settle the
price that the Southern cotton grower
must take per bale of cotton. Some
other man, thousands of miles away,
could settle the price that the Wt stern
farmer should have for hiB grain.
The farmer alone had nothing to say
about it. The railroads decided what
they should charge him. Bankb decided
what they should charge for the
use of the money. Trusts decided ou
their extortions. Tariff builders decided
what tax the farmer's wife and
daughter should pay ou their dresses.
But the farmer was forbidden to
have any say in fixing the price of his
goods.
This is to end, the work has been already
begun in the farmers' organizations.
This newspaper congratulates
the farmers, and greets as public bene- i
factors the moving spirits in the great
farmers' organizations.
The farmers of the country are the
backbone of the country. They develop
the nation's real wealth, which
is the wealth of the soil. They are entitled
to a full share of that wealth and
cf the national prosperity. By combination,
by insisting on fair prices for
their cotton, their wheat and their
nrnna rtnti hu TP.fiuti.mn /n **>11 iht*
non-perishable products except for a
fair price, they have already added
tens of millions to the annual returns
from the farms. They add tens and
and hundreds of millions more annually
as their unions increase in
power.
The isolated human being, whether
ne be farmer or mechanic, is at the <
mercy of every form of greed and cun- i
ning. ,
Tne farmer has too long plowed.

Shady Grove, July 3, 1907.
t)eer Gents?My frien' Pab Slitz is
the most disapointed pen us 'orno that
ever watched licker trickle thru a worrum.
He went to Columbia durin' the
settin' of the Legislature to watch the
movement of our mutual Jonah, viz.,
the Dispensary. Pab was shore that
we would get prohibition, so was I.
But as Jeems Finley or Norman Cann,
I disremember which, has said, "The
best laid schemes of rats and men gang
-1 " T ion* lirWnf f Knf
&ILCf giet." X UUUUw juoif ttuiiv i/uai
quotation mean?, but I know it fits me
and Pab.
I want to a9k a favor of you gents
an' it is this, for the sake of peace and
tranquility don't say any more in your
paper that the proceeds of the Dispensary
will pay tor that Court Houiie in
tour years time. It ain't necessary for
me to tell you my reasons, but I've got
'em, and good ones too.
I wish you would say more about
the school fund gettin' nothin' from
the Dispensary tho, Give it to 'ein
good and proper. Put hot head lines
on it. Muke the peece fry and sizzle
like a peece of Hog bosom on a hot
skillet. No money from the Dispensary
for skools !?Disgrace unparalleled
in the annals of history?Poor chillun
must suffer while the Dispensary
grows fat as a sun fish, ect. Make it
good and warrum.
Don't you tell the people of Abbeville
Couuty that that consarn will
make $100,000 in four or five years.
They migbt take a fool notion that it
would knock them out of the pleasure
of payin' taxes and if they ever got
such an idee into their crauiums, good
bye to all mine and Pab's scbems.
Thata entirely too much money for the
consounded consarn to make anyhow,
an if I was in Moosaoski's or Fanny
Nickels or Tommy Price's shoes I'd
cut that gain down about seventy-five
perceut, so help me Pab, I wud ! Ten
Barrooms at a high liscence of $1000 a
peece would bring in $10000 for the
city and that would be the greatest
plenty. Just think what a boom that
would give youre city ten barrooms !
Why store rent would go up 50 per
cent in as many days !
Now my Deer gents, if there ever is
any vacancy on the Board of Dispensary
control I want every body in Abbeville
county to know that I'm a can"
' * - T ..I.J) 1
Illume. J. wuuiu CLib gnc iuicc uw
rabs to go to the Legislature, or the
Senate, or to begovurner; but I would
shore lib e to get od that Dispensary
Board.
You might study the politucol economies
of all nations till the letters run
io a brauch before yore eyes and you
would not find a single country from
Shady Grove to Madagascar that does
ent pay taxes, moreover, you would
find that a country is prosperous in
proportion to the tax it pays, barrin'
one or two countries wnere me presidents,
kings, and things have them
things they call Harums. There the
ruler is surrounded by several hunderd
good lookin women an' its not
hard to tell where the jnoney goes in
keepin' up such.au establishment?but
the rule holcls good, prosperous people
pay heavy taxes. Now if that Dispensary
should reduce taxes down to
nothin' the whole county would rot
with what Finley aud the other poets
call Innocuous Desuetude.
The Dispensary, Gents, is mabiu'!
entirely too much money for the county.
It ought to be cut down. I believe
I could do it, and if either Moosanski
or Fanny Niukles or Tommy
Price should want to get out I want
you to let me know double quick ! By
the way if you can help me iu auy
way I would see that you loose nothin'
for your trouble.
Snorely the county won't let them
three have it more'u a year any way.
If I could get on fur that time I'd be
aoMtfipH. I'm no Porker. I'd know
when I got enough.
Just on the Q. V. Don't you thiuk
that the present Board, the above
named Gent*, be about the biggest galoots
you ever met ? They are let tin'
that Dispensary make $2000 a month
>r thereabouts, when $500 would be
the greatest plenty. Finley aud othe.
poets say something about lost opportunities,
which it >eems that 1 can',
recamemb. r just now, but which
would be a very apt quotation in thib
connection.
There is another little mutter I wau!
to sppak about, aud it is this : if \ ore
esteemed ptriodical has got any influence
I want you to put a everJaatin'
stop to them Greenwood au' Auder.-on
felieis a sneakin down here to bu\
licker. Thai's one thing thai's makii'.
the D spensary prophits swell to sncli
enormous pioportions. At leasl on-'fourth
of the licker of Auder&on am*
Greenwood is beiu bought at the Di?pent-a
y. Anderson aud Greenwood
.lon't buy more'n four-flftbs or fiv*sixths
ther licker from Augusta ami
and North Carlina. That ought not
to be. They ought to get all, ever}
drap, of ther licker ther.
what'u the use of Davin uronhits t?
a blamed old Didpeutary wbeii there
be good m^ai iu Georgia and North
Carolina in the lfgitiruate lit k? r business
who are entitled to the patronage
of these counties but they are only
gettin five-sixths or six-sevenths of it,
the Dispensary is gettiu' the rest. J
know of numbers of num. good fellers,
who are makin good money iD Anderson
and Greenwood on Georgia and
North Carlina licker, an' you know
mighty well that with all the proph't
iMooaanski, Nickles an' Price are puttin'
on the stuff" the dark room dealer
can't stand no more show than a tencent
kid at a dollar circus. Now in
that right? Keep yore Dinpens-ary
iicker at home. Don't be breakin'
down the business of good men in adinininer
counties.
I was over'n Greenwood to!her day
an' a good ole frien' of mlue give me a
'ouliar wink that I never mistook in
all my life. You know the wink, a
kind of half shut eye with a half jerk
of the kebeza an' a Blight motion of
the arm, which means, old boy come
and dampen your nek. J cuddent refuse
no more'n iron tilens could refuse
to grab a magnet. It WU9 Norlh Carllna
juice, good, thick and yaller, and
as fur ahead of the dispensary as stall

bosom. If you had got up on the
wrong side of the bed, found two dozen
neighbor's cows iu yore brag corn
patch, the water gap washed away
and all youre hcgs in the potato patch,
an' every ban'on the place gone to big
meetin, it would briug a smile on your
physiognomy a yard-stick wide.
Please treat the above as you did my
