OF INFOR
Conduct*
South Carolina Farmers' Eduoat
Communications intended for this J
J. C. Striming, !
Farmers' Organizations.
In Sonth Carolina we have bad a
deal eight of experience in organiz
ing farmers. The old line of farm
ers' socioticH-the Grange, the Alli*
ance and Institute Clubs-have all
come and gone up in the smoke of j
fib no like the burning down or tbe
rotting away of old buildings that j
have disappeared and better struc
tures have taken their plaoee. So it ?
is with the Farmers' Union. We
had a vast amount of experience
in farmers' organizations and know
that the union ie building up a struc
ture upon a better plan and upon a I
firmer foundation than all the other |
organizations that have gone before.
We have learned many valuable I
lessons in our mistakes heretofore, |
and about ail these mistakes can be
turned into good for the union if we
manage rightly.
We want to impress upon the
minds of eaoh and every member of j
the Farmers' Union that he is one
of the stones in the walls of the I
oastle that the farmers are building, I
and that the whole structure can be |
' ' no better than the material of which
the union is composed. Let every
member ask of himself the one ques
tion, If every member of our union
did just as I am doing what Bort of |
a union would we have ? ?
And then when all union men
have done this comparative lesson
let the unorganized farmer ask him
self this same question. Suppose all
farmers thought themselves too wise,
too good or too selfish to organize,
what would we have gotten for our
two last crops of cotton ?
In reply to D. F. Wigin, president
of Lodge 274, Louisiana Union, and
all others who have recently oalled
upon our bureau for cheap plans of
cotton warehouses, that just so soon
as we can get in-answers from in
quiries sent out that our union col
umn will publish in concentrated
form about all the information
needed on the warehouse matter.
All county unions should begin
now to inaugurate a regular Farmers'
Union campaign in each county to
begin when farmers have laid by
crops. Let this campaign bo one of
educating tho farmer along tho busi
ness side of his farming interest.
Chief among these subjects istbat as
the farmer is the greatest producer
on earth, be is, of course, the biggest
seller on eartb, and that he needs
clearing houses or warehouses to
concentrate his cotton and other im- [
?rishable products in.
Before we go out into the mercan
tile or the manufacturing business
we must first make good in our sell
ing business. Putting it plain, we j
must manage our own farming busi
ness first, and when we have com
pleted this great work of controlling
ourselves then we can begin to think
about controlling others.
Local Union, No. 112, of Leak
?punty (Miss.) Union, E. B. Sasbee,
P?retary, informs our bureau that
many locals have recommended the
secret business bureau as set forth
hy the National Committee.
Fifteen determined, resolute farm
ers in any local union lodgo can
build a good one-section cotton ware
house if they will como together
with tho conviction that this thing
must be done for their mutual pro
tection.
If tho aotual cash to pay for all
this warehouse cannot bo raised by
tho looal lodgo ? 1 tho members
havo the true co-operative spirit
among them that all union farmors
shonld have, thore is nothiug in tho

way of them dubbing together and
making their own concreto blocks
and putting up their warehouses
! with their own labor. The old-time
co-operative plan of house-raising,
log-rolling and corn-shucking may
be worker? in building warehouses to
considerable extent where the unions
cannot raise only money enough to
produce the material. Our union
bureau is now getting up plans and
speoifioations .for the very cheapest
and simplest warehouse plans and
will publish the same as carly as pos
sible.

This North Carolina man is right
in the middle of the progressive path
for Southern farmers 1 ? '
Charlotte, N. C., May 25.
J. C. Stribling, Pendleton, S. C.,
Dear Sir : It seems that my inquiry
of Mr. Brabham as to the way he
developed his oow pea so that it
would not shed its leaves has de
veloped some little interest in this
most important subjeot. It has sur
prised me no little that none of the
farmers in South Carolina took'
enough interest in this subject to
ask about the matter. Why was
this; because they had also devel
oped this pea, and, therefore, had no
need to ask ? and if this is the oase
why did they not give this informa
tion to their brother farmers as Mr.
Brabham has don? ? I fear that it
is beoause the majority of farmers do
not yet realize the value of this
plant, and, therefore, do hot take the
interest in it that they should. The
same applies to many other advances
as well as to the subjeot of this letter.
The average farmer has not yet real
ized tbatoue crop (cotton) will not
as a rule pay.
I am glad, though, that we are be
coming more and more diversified
and that we see the value of raising
everything on the farm for home
consumption that oan possibly be
raised. This is the salvation of the
farmers of the South, diversifying
and raising cotton as a surplus crop,
A hundred yonrs ago tho boat physi
cian would givo you a medicino for your
hoart without stopping to consider what
effect in might have on tho liver. Even
to this good df?y cough and cold medi
cines invariably bind tho bowels. This
is wrong. Bee's Laxntivo Cough Syrup
with Flonoy and Tar acts on tho bowols
-drives out the cold-cloars tho hoad, re
lieves all coughs, cleanses and strength
ens tho mucuous membranes of the
throat, chest, lungs and bronohial tubos.

W. .7. Lunney, Seneca.
which can then be sold at a price
fixed by ihe farmer instead of the j
speculator. The fai ner can do this
if he diversifies, bul not until he
does. Look for a moment at the
oondition of affairs if this was uni
versally followed by tho farmers of
the South. By raising everything
on the farm needed and less cotton
there would not be the same neces
sity for money, but if there was, as
diversified farming is more profitable
than the one-orop plan, the farmer
would have the money if he needed
it, and have it all the year round in
stead of in the fall as with the cotton
crop, and then with one-half to two
thirds of cotton raised that wo now
have tho price would be sufficiently
high as to not the farmer as much as
ho is now getting for his cotton.
This ho would have as clear profit,
ns he has been "living at home."
This thing narrows itself down to
this question : Which had you rather
do, raiso a great deal of cotton, no
home supplies, and take tho prico for
your cotton that is offered you, or
raiso everything at home and have
something all tho timo to sell and
then raiso one-half tho cotton you
now raiso and get as much for it as
you now got for it with tho proba
bilities much in favor of gotting more?
It seems to mo that tho last would
bo tho beBt in every particular, for it
seems that everything is in its favor
and nothing in favor of the one-orop
plan. If it is possible to get tho
same pri?e for one bale of cotton we
aro now getting for two we save the
expense of raising and marketing
one-half, which would mako the
profit about four times as much as it
now is.
The things that to my mind will
mako tho South the garden spot of
the world will be diversified farming,
tilling well a few acres rather than
many acres poorly, securing good
and fertile seed and then improving
them, raising oattle and saving their
manure, using such farm machinery
as will deorease the cost of produc
ing a orop, and taking oare of this
machinery after it is bought and then
using judgment in marketing the
crops, whatever they may be. Good
roads may well be ioolud d.
If these things will make the
South more prosperous are they not
wort" striving for?
Would it not be well to have
Prof. Newman, of Clemson, give us
an article on the cow pea ?
Yours truly,

The Candidates ior Governor.
There are five candidates for Governor
announced thus far: Cole L. Blesse, of
Newberry; Richard I. Manning, of Sum
ter; John T. Sloan, of Richland ; Joel E.
R nm Hon, of Sumter, and Martin F.
Ansel, of Greenvale.
On the issue of the State dispensary
system they line up somewhat like this:
Blease for the dispensary right or
wrong.
Manning for the dispensary'as a State
system, reformed and reconstructed ac
cording to the scheme set forth in his
bill before the General Assembly at the
last session.
Sloan for the dispensary with details
of his platform yet to be announced.
Branson for unqualified prohibition.
Ansel against tho State dispensary and
for county option between local dispensa
ries and absolute prohibition.
Obviously the field is not yet complete.
There is no representative of true local
option yet offering. Mr. Ansel comes
nearer the ideal than any of the other
candidates, but he fails to encompass the
situation, because he would restriot the
counties to a choice between but two
systems of liquor coutrol. The true
principle of local option would leave it
to tho counties to determine, eaoh for
itself, the method of controlling the
I liquor traffic best, suit cd to its conditions,
I restricted only by the terms of the State
constitution. This would* naturally pre
sent three options, county dispensary,
prohibition or tho license to operate, of
course, under the limitations prescribed
by tho constitution. That would give
oach community in tho State the oppor
tunity to choose for itself tho form bf
liquor coutrol host adapted to its people.
It ought to satisfy everybody who is un
selfish or without fanaticism, and surely
tho poople ought to want at tho hoad of
their ai?airs a man who has an oyo siuglo
to tho welfare of the whole body politio
and is reasonable in his own dispositions.
There aro among tho candidates who
have announced themselves men of very
fine personality. But this is not au
issue of personalities, though no man
should be voted for, whatever his plat -
foim, who is unfitted in personal charac
ter to preside over the affairs of the com
monwealth. But a great issue is before
the people and it should be decided upon
its merits. The issue is whether the
' State shall continue its monopoly of tho
liquor business, with all the attendant
corruption which it has been proved by
I thirteen years' trial is incidental and
unavoidable to such a business, imposing
upon some communities conditions ut
terly repugnant to their people, or shall
leave it to the people of those communi
ties to establish for themselves condi
tions which they believe to be best
adapted to their good. Of the candi
dates thus far announced none repre
sents the true alternative to tho first
proposition.
There is room in tho field for a candi
dato who will make his liquor law plat
form of the options given in tho consti
tution, and wo shall be disappointed if
such an ono does not appear.-Charleston
Evoning Post.

Cured ol Bright's Disease.
Geo. A. Sherman, Lisbon Red Mills,
tawrence county, New York, writes: "I
ad kldnoy disease for many years and
bad been treated by physicians for twelve
years; had taken a well-known kidney
medicine and other remedies that were
recommended, but got no relief until I
began UBing Foley's Kidney Cure. The
first half bottle relieved mo and four bot
tles have cured me of this terrible dis
ease. Before I bogan taking Foley's
Kidney Cure I had to make water about
every fifteen minutes, day and night,
and passed a brick-dust substance, and
sometimes a slimy substance. I believe
I would-havo died if I had not taken
Foley's Kidney Cure." J. W. Bull.
Senator Tillman and Congressman j
Johnson have accepted invitations
to speak at a big political barbecue
and rally on July 7 at Sandy Flat,
in Greenville county. No specific
subject was assigned to Senator Till
man, but this will be the first Till
man campaign meeting of the year,
and presumably ho will talk about
tho dispensary. Other Tillman meet
ings will follow.
A Thousand Dollars' Worth of Good.
"I have boon nfllicted with kidney aud
bladdor troublo for years, passing gravel
ov btouos with excruciating pain, says
A. LT. Thurnos, a well known coal ope
rator of Buffalo, Ohio. "I got no relief
from medicine until I bogan taking
Foley's Kidney Cure, then the result was
surprising. A few doses started tho
briok-dust-like substanoe and now I
have no pain across my kidneys and I
feel like a new man. It has done mo
$1,000 worth of good." Foley's Kidney
Cure will cure every form of kidney or
bladder disease. Dr. J. W. Bell.

Great
Relief
During that trying period in

sick headache, or other pains,
there is nothing that can equal

nerves, and give to
Women
the relief so much desired. If

"I have been an Invalid for 9
years. I have neuralgin, rheumatism
and pains around the heart. By
.sains* Dr. Miles' Antl-Paln Pilli I am
relieved of the pain, and get sleep

the Pain Pills when I was first tnk?n
sick, they would have, cured mo. I
recommend them for periodic pains."
