FARMER'S UlS OF INFOB Conduct? . S ou tK Carolina Farmers' Eduoai j_ Gommnnioations intended for this J. C. Stribling, Don't forget to Bend stamped en velope in making inquiries of the Farmers' Union Bureau. If the an swer is cot worth the stamped enve lope don't ask for it. It is oar duty and we take plea sure ia giving all information to farmers in our line. When our com mittee does not know the thing you psk about we are in touoh with peo ple that do know. But as it is against our rules to sp?cul?t?- or make charges for giving information it is the fair thing for you to pay postage. In our next week's communication to the press we are to begin publish ing the results of our co-operative experiments with field orops and ior tilizers as conducted by the Farmers' Union Bureau and th? South Caro lina Experiment Station. The first of these will be the Wil liamson method of growing corn "stunting." These reports will be given in the boiled down, plain field talk as one farmer talks to another, with all the "highfaloottng" college language trimmed off. All newspapers in South Carolina that will send one-cent stamped en velopes will reoeive these copies regularly un Mondays of each week and released to all papers for publi cation every Tuesday. What About the "Farmers' Cotton Union?" If you do not. "belong to Gideon's Band" and wish to know all about the "Farmers' Cotton Union" just slip your dollar in the slot at the Farmers' Union door and walk right in among your best neighbors where you can "watch the oat jump," and if he don't jump to suit you, you oan have a chance at making things move to suit. Between the prices of 0 cents and ll cents for ootton there is a good suit of clothes for the boy or com plete rigging for a girl, or a oooking stove for the wife, or suit of bed room furniture for one room on eaoh bale of ootton. Who bas done most to save this profit for the faithful if it was not done by the Farmers' Union ? The Anderson Daily Mail sizes the thing up so : "The English spin ners are coming over here to show the English spinners how to price ; it." That is a bright spark from a live wire. Something New Down South In Dixie. All of a sudden, since the Farmers' Union has begun to name its prices - for its ootton, ootton buyers are talk ing a heap about it taking two to make a trade. Now this is a brand new idea with ootton buyers who have for lo these many years been naming the prices and ootton grow Sold and Recommended by WALHALLA DRUG COMPANY. W. J. LUNNEY, SENFCA. HON BUREAU .MATION, j )d by the Liona] and Co-Operative Union. Department should be addressed to Pendleton, S. C. ere were forced to take their prioe. Then it took but one to make the trade. But now the Farmers' Union proposes to do its part of the prioing of its own goods and see to it that cotton travers take their tnrn *t- ths taking at the producers' prices. Why is it that it takes seventy five thousand dellars tc join the New York cotton exchange and only one dollar to join the Farmers' Cot ton Union? Yon just drop yonr dollar in the slot at the "Farmers' Cotton Union" door ; then you oan get a good idea about it and inci dentally learn why it costs so muoh to join in the game of the cotton ex changes. Some of the boys around the Farmers' Union Bureau may not hoe and plough cotton now, or make as muoh of it as some others do, but we are right np shoulder to shoulder with the boys that do make the stuff all over the land of cotton. Our Farmers' Cotton Union may not be so well up in cotton gambling as cotton exchanges are ; but the Farmers' Cotton Union sure does know how to dodge the mud holes, toll gates and go the straight road to market its cotton. Ever see two boys see-sawing on a plank pivoted in the craok of a fenoe? Watch them when one end gets to heavy to balance jost right, the other fellow drops baok on the heavy end, then things rook along smooth again. These boy? know more about their game than the cotton growers do th? t keep right on piling the cotton on the heavy end of the cotton mar ket and then set baok and go to howling about cotton prices not go ing up. Moral : When the selling end of the cotton market gets too heavy just slide the cotton in the warehouses or back home until the thing balances up again. Provoking Gall. Upon every occasion organized farmers are met with the argument from their opponents something like this : "Farmers have neither the necessary amount of organized capi tal or enough experienced men to ever control the cotton market." Now let's look into this matter a lit tle and see who it is now managing the ohief enterprises in and around the oity of Anderson, S. C., for ex ample ; perhaps the most prosperous county and town in the State. Qo with ns to the heads of her ten large cotton mills and you will find nine of these mill presidents to be farmers' sons. Go to the five banks and every mother's son of their presi dents and the larger number of their cashiers and directors are farm ers' sons. The publishers and edit ors of her three newspapers at last accounts were all farmers' sons. A similar investigation in about all the important towns in the cot ton Staten, we are told, would show a similar proportion of farmers' sons. Our Farmers Cotton Union proposes to do some of this hiring of our farmers' sons to help retain a rea sonable shara of the profits on farm products to the men who farm. Talk About Capital. What is the capital behind all our industries? What sort of collateral do they put up that is different or safer basis for currency than the farmer can offer? What products of all the combined industries of the whole Southern States that oan be gin to compare with the annual ave rage sales of the farmers' cotton, which goon beyond five hundred million dollars every year, to say nothing about his other crops? Go to the government census re port* and you will see that the ag gregated capital and wealth of all our manufacturing industries of the South does not amount to one-fifth that invested in farm lands and farm equipments. Is it not gall, tuen, in any man to say that the Farmers' Cotton Union possibilities, which has behind it all of this vast array of business men and oapital, oannot succeed ? Cotton-growers, yon have created the wealth-produoing staple that has made vast fortunes for others ; now will you come forward and claim yonr share of the profits ? There is but one way to do it-organize, or ganize and then help yourselves. IIP 10 EUROPE-LETTER NO H. Marienbad, July 27.-Yours to Lucerne received yesterday, and sup pose that when you wrote it you had not received mine from Stockholm. This mail business is all luck. It depends on what steamer it comes across on. We have been spending the past few days at this place, whioh is up in the mountains and delightfully cool. I got up at 5.80 the other morning and went for a horseback ride. I don't think I ever enjoyed anything so much in my life. I rode away up in the hills and for two whole hours forgot all about everything else. It certainly did sc a world of good. There are num bers of Ule prettiest little mountain paths here you ever saw, and eaoh one ends np in a fine little restaur ant, where you can get a lunch or anything you want. One of them is especially fine. The path winds round and round the highest peak here. Right on the top is a beuati ful little summer garden, with a very nice orchestra to furnish music. The waitresses are all very prettily cos tumed, and this, coupled with the fine view you have from all sides, makes it most attraotive. One of the many good things the water does is, it makes fat people thinner. I never saw so many fat people before in my life. When you get up to tho springs you can sit and hear them coming, panting and wheezing like the exhaust-valve of a stationary engine. If we were going to be here long enough I would try to get the average weight of all the people in Marienbad, and I'm sure IM surprise the world. From here I guess ?ve will go to Munioh ned then on to Lucerne. Munich.-Letter No. 9. Munioh, July 81, 1906.-We ar rived here about three or four hours ago, after a very hot and dusty six hours' trip. From what I can see, Munioh seems to be just the same as the other German towns we have visited, and I doubt if we stay here more than a couple of days, when we will move on to Switzerland. I enjoyed my stay in Marienbad very muoh and was sorry to leave, as the atmosphere was so oool and agreeable there all the time. I went to a big ball while I was there and, much to my surprise, had a very nioe time. I went not knowing a soul, but used my nerve and introduced myself to some American men, and finally met some very nioe girls. You know old South Carolina has quite a reputation everywhere you go and as soon as people find ont yon are a South Carolinian they are always nice to yon. . Did yon ever get my letters from Stockholm? I wrote about six from there, but have received answers to none and am beginning to think they must have been lost. Well, for the last couple of wcekj we've seen nothing new, so there's really nothing new to write abdut, but I guess when we get over into Switzerland there will be.

Washington, Deo. 14.-Investiga tion by the bureau of the census snows that in 1902 about one-half of the States of the Union bad inheri tance tax laws, which yielded to them an aggregate of a little more than $7,000,000. This amount is believed by the census officials to have in creased in the present year to fully $10,000,000 or $12,000,000. In a re port based ou the forthcoming report on "wealth, debt sud taxation," the census officials say that "at least a dozen States are materially assisting in the support of thu State govern ments from this source of revenue.
