Th? Voter's Privil?ge. The votera of the State will be called upon this year to express their choioe of candidates for officers county, State, and members of the Nations! Congress. Many good men will offer themselves, and we wish that only the very best might be elected, men fully competent, the { most highly capable, wen of good moral character, and upright Chris tian gentlemen. If such men should be elected to fill all the offices it would be very remarkable, a thing that never happened before. Candi dates are already announoing them selves and filing their pledges. Al ready, for Governor, some excellent | men have announced their candi dacy, and if no others should enter the race the people might select a good Governor from those' an nounced. M. F. Ansel, of Greenville, has filed his pledge. Mr. Anssl was a candidate four years ago and made a fine impression wherever be went, and he reoeived a handsome vote. He If one of the best men in the State, and has a long and honorable record behind him in the publie affairs of the State. He has been tried and has never been found wanting. He is a man of high moral character, and a Christian gentleman. He is opposed to the State dispen sary system, and believes that each county should decide whether liquor j is to be sold or not under the consti tutional provisions. He is person ally opposed to the use of liquor as a Coverage. If elected be mill make a fine Governor, and his administration would be in the interest of integrity and civic righteousness, law and order. Joel E. Brimson, of Sumter, announces himself a candidate for Governor on the prohibition plat form. We had looked for some con cert of action on the part of the pro hibitionists in the State in view of reported conferences held in Colum bia from time to time. No an nouncement had been made of a purpose on their part to name a can didate, but many believed it would be dono. Bro. Brunson's record as Our line of C styles-cloths an We are givin before seeing our EVERY HA Remember, e WE WILL Seneca a temperance advocate and a prohi bitionist is known throughout the State. He has consistently stood for this principle from his youth up. He has never been a friend of the dispensary system any more than he was of any other system of liquor traffic He is a good man, a loyal citizen, a consistent Baptist, a suc cessful man of affairs, and if eleoted he will be found trying to administer the affairs of the State in a fair, hon est, impartial manner. But it is not our purpose to men tion the names of tbe candidates for this or any other office, and advocate the interests of any one man. The point to be made is, that it will be possible for the voters not to go amiss for good men when they come to oast their ballots, and we hope that from the large number of can didates offering for the many offices that some of the best men in the State will be elected. We have known the two gentlemen above named so long and BO intimately, and esteem them so highly that we do not feel that it is necessary to offer any apology for making mention of them even in these columns. Serioub problems confront the people of this State, and grave re sponsibilities will devolve upon the officers of the law in the futuro as in the present. We will need good men in the Legislature, and we need honest, upright, fearless, and yet conservative men to execute the laws, and to fill the many positions of honor and trust. The voters should be sensible of the responsi bility that rests upon them whose duty it is to help select and elect the men to fill these offices. Our people have not given this matter sufficient thought, but the time has come when every voter should try to elect only capable, honest, upright and safe men to office. The policy of the voter should be to elect the best man, all things considered, subordi nating to this end nil such conside rations as kinship, friendship and other mere personal reasons.-Bap tist Courier, May 31.

THE ORDER HAS 600,000 MEMBERS AND IS STEADILY GROWING. R. F. Duokworth, of Texas, the president of the National Farmore' Educational and Co-Operative Un ion, recently gave The Daily Mail a very interesting interview about the organization of which he is the bead. Mr. Duokworth says the union now has 600,000 members, and that it is growing rapidly. He .sayH the union has not been formed to fight other olasses or trades or professions, but simply for the protection and benefit of the farmers. Talking he said : "The organization was started in Raines county, Texas, in October, 1902. It originated in the mind of Newts Gresham, a farmer of that county, who is recognized by the or ganization as the founder of the Far mers* Union. We have about 600, 000 members now io south and west. Texat, ia our strongest State in mem bership, and the work is going on in nineteen States. "The organization is based upon the prinoiples of equity, justice and the golden rule. The two leading features of the organization are to educate our membership in the soi enee of farming and marketing of products. ?We are building a great many warehouses throughout the entire country for the purpose of storing our cotton. These warehouses are controlled and used by the Farmers' Union people. "The Farmers' Union began the fight to get the cotton market regu lated in the fall of 1903, and in the fall of 1904 they set the minimum price on cotton at 10 cents. In 1905 they sot. the minimum price at ll cents for the 1905-6 orop, the last days of August, and it was endorsed by the Cotton Association the first of September, 1905. The Farmers' Un ion people have refusod to make any change as to the minimum price. The Cotton Association asked the Farm ers' Union to raise their minimum price of 15 cents, but the National DRE All the lates cheaper than you A Good Bl?

"It is the purpose of the Farmers' Union to demand only a fair and profitable price for their cotton and when that is paid they will be satis fied. "I am here for tho purpose of or ganizing a State Union of South Carolina, and the work of organizing will be pushed rapidly until the en tire State has been organized. Work is already going on in seventeen counties. We already have about 0,000 members in this State." Fair Play Item*. [Too I .ate for Last Issue, j Fair Play, May 28.-Mr. and Mrs. P.
