FARMERS' UNION BUREAU. Founder ol tho Farmers' Union is Dead. Newton Gresham, the father of the Farmers' Educational and Co operative Union of America, died at his home at Point, Texas, April lOtb. Newton Gresham is dead, but his work and spirit lives on io the Farmers' Union, wbioh is already the greatest farmers' organisation that the world has ever known. In the Farmers' Union organisa tion Newton Gresham has left to his people, his family and the Southern farmers as well au heritage and monument to his memory that is far greater than a miut of gold and many statues in bronze. His South Carolina Union breth ren mourn his loss, while we bow to the will of Him who gave him for our good. Peace be unto his ashes. Building Our Forts Whits There's Pose?. In answer to roany inquiries from farmers for the cheapest plan for farmers to put up their own ware houses we are getting together a lot of very interesting information as to plans and cost of a very simple, good and cheap Farmers' Union ware house that most auy strong local union can put up themselves at com parative small cost. Send in to our bureau all the in formation you have on this subject. What about that farmer that con tinues to drivo a nail with a rock, or old plow, and allows IHB wife to do xje samo way, when the price of three drinks of whiskey and a plug of tobacco would pay for a good claw hatchet ? There seems to be no salvation or hope for that miserable, simple minded "al'-cotton farmer" who ab solutely refuses to heed the warning of the Farmers' Union about not planting more food crops. Nothing in the way of words seems to affect these slaves of a ruinous system. They cannot be made to feel any thing of less force than a rear-end collision with a billy goat or a hun gry cotton mule that would force them to eat their meals from the mantlepieco for about a week. You Farmers' Union man, stand up there and juill oft* your hat, we havo something lo tell you that will make you feel proud. Did you ever think that our South Carolina Farm ers' Union column was now being published in papers that reach over four hundred thousand Southern people who subscribe to these papera ? I Newspaper men tell us that is so ! This should remind all who furnish information ... this column that wc j should be Vi J careful what wt; say, ' for this responsibility is not only g.cat, but our teachings along this educational line should bc conducted 1 upon a high plane. Farmers' Union News. This South Carolina Farmers' Union column is now published in every Southern State from the Rio Grande to tho James river.

Prof. Morrison spoke on "Country Life." This was the finest address the professor made. He was in spired by the success of the school. He then asked that the boy who j labored so hard tu plant a tree and i name it for Calhoun would please oome to the front. Amid a storm of applause, he, blushing, went forth to receive congratulations.

After try ing all kinds of hogs ou clover aud grass I found In my cx[>erlence there was none so good for that purpose as the Chester Whits, and you can feed and arr'-?v.- him to be . sviect bacon hog If you sell when be is right. My experi ence ls there ls more In feeding for a good bacon hog thau there Is In breed ing, hecause you can spoil the best bacon bog on earth hy feeding. I breed my hogs t-vice a year; first Utter comes In March. As they are all registered bogs, 7.sell them for breed ing purposes. Then my POWS are all mated again for my own field hogs; they come tn August or the first of September. This starts the hog for the highest pork days In the year. Having no use for the sows nt this season of the year, I leave the young pigs on the sows for eight weeks, leaving me nine or ten months to grow my bacon hog. It ls an easy matter to grow a Chester White hog, In good order, from 180 to 100 pounds. In nine months. I coiniuem'e to food roots ns soon ns I take the pigs off the sow and feed all winter, and as soon ns the clover ls about three Inches high I ring them and put them out In the field, where they get one feed a day of dry grain, barley or mixed corn and barley fed on the ground. Harley and good sweet clover will make bacon as sweet as chicken, and. If you think you require a little more fat. after feeding one feed a day up to July Just give the Chester White the second food a day*, and In two weeks you have a select pig which commands the highest price In the market. Uanirrr of KrrdlnK Swill. A dairyman namoi J. Chambers liv ing near Bloomington, 111., recently lost eighty head of fine hogs, valued at $1.000. He had been feeding them swill obtained from the hotels of the city and thinks that brine or other del eterious substances may have boen ac cidentally placol In his slop and may have consol the death of the fat pork ers.

[The following poem was regarded by Edgar Allen Poe as the mott beautiful and tcuvbiug o? lia kind in the English language:] Il bath been said for all who die There is a tear, Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh O'er every bier; But in that hour of pain and dread Who will be near Around my bumble couch and shed One farewell tear? Who'll watch the fast departing ray In deep despair,! And Boothe the spirit on its way With holy prayer? What mourner'round my couch will come In words of woo, And follow me to my long home, Solemn and slow? When lying in my earthly bed In icy sleep. Who then, by pure affection lcd, Will come and weep? By the pale moon implant the rose Upon my breast, And bid it cheer my daik repose, My lonely rest? Could I but know when I am sleeping Low in the ground One faithful heart would then be keeping Watch all around, As if some gem lay shrined beneath That cold sod's gloom, 'Twould mitigate the pangs of death And light the tomb. Yes, in that hour if I could feel From halls of glee And beauty's preseuce one would steal lu secrecy And come and sit or stand by me In night's dead noon, Oh, I would ask of memory No other boon. But ah, a lonelier fate is mine, A deeper woe; From all I've loved in youth's sweet time I soon must go; Draw 'round me my palo robes of whito lu a dark spot To sleep thro' death's long, dreamloss night, Lone and forgot.

Nervous Worn-Out If you are tn this condition, your nerve force is weak-the power is giving out, the or gans of your body have "slowed up," and do their work imperfectly. This failure to do the work required, clogs the system and brings distress and disease. When the nerves are weak the heart is unable to force the life-giving blood through your veins; the stom ach fails to digest food; the kidneys lack power to filter impurities from the blood, and the poisonous waste remains in the system to breed disease. Nerve energy must be restored. Dr. Miles' Nervine wil? do it, because it strengthens the nerves; it is a nerve medicine and tonic, that rebuilds the entire nervous system.
