Farmers' Union held at Anderson was well attended, the oourt houso being nearly full at times. On Friday moruing the formal organi zation of the Uuion took place by tho eloctlon of tho following officers: O. P. Goodwin, of Laureus, president; T. T. Wakefield, Audersoo, vice-president; B. F. Earle, Anderson, secretary and treas urer; M.A. Mahaffey, Belton, State or ?anizer; A. B. Blaok, Taylor's, chaplain; f. It. Holiday, LaureuB, conductor; J. D. Williams, Oroeuwood, doorkeeper; G. E. Putnam, Greenville, sergeant-at-arms. The following resolution was unani mously adopted: Resolved, That the tbauks of the State Farmers' Uuion be returned to the daily and weekly papers of the State for the column devoted to the bureau of infor mation edited by J. C. Stribliug, of Pen dleton. Farmers' Union Colton Warehouse Plant. The foilowiog is gotten up upon the very simplest and cheapest plans for the use of co-operative unions. This plan is for ono section, to which may be addod as many more sections at timos as may be required to accommo date the needs of the union. Walls 100 feet long; 12 feet tall at high end. 8 feet tall at lower end; space be tweou walls, 60 feet. Excavations should be dug out to Arm ground or clay (if in tho clay territory,) well di cc hud and drained PH round, good clay iloor well beaton down. As tho cost of material in foundations v in les iu different places our estimate for cement walls aro taken from about the iloor lino. Parapet walls may bo required by in surance companies wbero more than ono section aro put up together, but those wails above tho roof aro of no benefit in the way of protection from tiro ou a one ?notion cotton warehouse. Estimates given hero are for 10-inoh hollow block for foundations and 8-inch block for walls, and all othor material that farmers do not usually have on their farms. All labor, sand for cement blocks and the niuo 10-inch round posts to rest gir ders on through tho middle of the room, are to bo supplied by tho farmers. This style of cotton warehouse will hold about 400 bales to each sect ion. Two round polos, lOiuchesin diameter, should bo placed under each row of halos to pre vent capillary attraction of moisture there at any timo. Remember this, that if lower ends of bales aro wot or moist whon stored, that iu all cases this lower ond will be dam aged moro or less, it matters not what kind of floor it rests on.

For less money than it takes to pay for a good pair of mules farmers may go to work in a neighborly way and put up their own fortifications now and get well entrenched ready for tho fighting that is sure to come this fall to force cottou farmers to turn loose their cotton at prices that have always mado all others rich that handled cotton excepting tho mon who toil most of all to produce this cotton. If this warehouse movement among cotton growers progresses in gaining strength and confidence among cotton producers as time passes, as it is now do ing, we look for several thousand of these co-operative warehouses to bo put up this summer. When cotton producers got a groat chain of these warehouses linked together in all tho cotton ?States in bonded form and produco their own farm supplies, this concert of action in a business way will place this whole cotton proposition upon a firm foundation and insure con tinued prosperity, not only to cottou growers, hut it will also bring prosperity to every industry in tho South. There is nothing new in this art of making artificial stone or cement blocks by properly mixing sand and cement. This art is about as old as tho country. Hut tho recent improvements in tho man ufacturing and consequent chcaponing of tho cost of cement and tho machinery for forming theso hollow blocks has reduced tho cost of this building material to such an extent that it now looks Uko wo aro into what might ho called tho cement or concreto ago. These small hand power machines, weighing from 400 pounds ap and cost ing from (50 up, may ho sot up at any convenient placo, anet hy following tho instructions sent out with these machines most any intelligent man can mako theso hollow hlock8 aud put up these ware houso walls. Any further information on this ware house subject may ho had by any union mon that will address this bureau and .close stamped envelope for reply.
