Our co-operative toot In growing long staple cotton will appear in our next week's Farmers' Union columns, also our test o' the Alt'.ilob system-two rows OOtton 'old two rows corn-in compari son with solid plots of each-oom and cotton. Harmony Prevailed. If there ia one feature above another that deserves to be notioed here to mark the progressive and growing spirit of the Farmers' Union., it is that harmony was nought and prevailed above every other effort put forth at the reoent national assflptblv of the Kai mms' Union at At itsHf As is well known, above all other bc* setting evils, rivalry, peevish and small differences of opinions have rotatded progress in organizing farmers more than other troubles. But at the Atlanta meet log the one wold, "union," seemed to be written out In large letters at the top and at the head of every resolution and prop osition plaoed before this meeting. But few, if any, progressive 'armer? practice or approve of the eight-hour law ou their farms, but in order to keep tbe union in harmonious-like order these opponents of this law allowed this eight hour labor resolution to go through as a real saorifloe for peaoo and good will towards all. Is cotton made out of niggers and mules? If sc, and these two prime fac tors in the produotion of cotton oost ?hore than double what they did when a 8outb "busted" on five cont cotton, can the "all-cotton farmer" now keep baok an explosion in bis affairs and sell bis cotton for ten cents or less? If merchant and supply men that are now at it making contracts with cotton farmers would make it a part nf the written agreement for their customers to grow their own food supplies at home, this would go a loog way toward 1?mov ing the oonditions in the South that dump the cotton upon the curly market to the injury of the whole south. This would onforeo divers!fled farming. The men that persist in making the conditions that force this mortgaged cot ton on the market and then have the gall to ask tho Farmers' Union men why they don't keep up cotton prices, should have their cotton lien changed to a lean over a stump and their cotton orup mort gage foreclosed with a barrel stave levied on the seat of their pants with both hands. Now, this may sound like a rough way of. j&iniling up the year's cotton crop, but while there may be a few honest merchants and good, kpnest ootton growers sngaged in this find of ootton growing,, the vast majority of the lien law or mortgaged ootton growers and the men who supply them are a rough set. They usually work? the thing very much on the plan of dog eat dog. The unscrupulous supply man starts out .o pull the helpless fool for sll he oan to save himself, while the mortgaged-ont ton grower tries to beat the merchant all ho can. Character is no part of collate ral here on either side, but rascality, under the cover of the lien law, gets the prize and small lawyers are kept busy. Knock out the prize system for ras cality and give big premiums to enoour age the growth of oharaoter and a square deal all round.

The Anderson Dlstriot Missionary Institute was held at the district parsonage in Anderson February 6, 1907, Rev. J. 8. Beasley? the presid ing elder, in the chair. After devo tional exeroises the president made some introductory remarks as to the aim and purpose of the meeting. , Informal remarks were heard from Walhalla, West End, Orrville, Wil liamston ?nd Belton, St. John's, Seneoaand Pelzer. The preachers from - these charges are confident of success in raising 1 the assessments in full this year on tue district. ! Kev. H. B. Browne, presiding elder 1 of the Columbia district, and one of the conference missionary secreta- ' ries, was called upon and made many suggestions ns to the spirit aud me thud of handling the missionary en terprises. The assessments are tte minimum of achievement in the < work. As an indication of growth i in liberality it was pointed out that < the Sumter distriot paid in 1006 as 1 much as the entire South Carolina conference paid thirty years ago. Some motions were made and car ried as follows : That the claims for domestic missions be raised by March 1 and the foreign by May 1. It was deoided also to conduot missionary institutes over tho district dnring the 6pring and fall months. It was resolved that the preachers' meeting of the Anderson district re quest the following laymen to make missionary addresses at the discretion of the presiding elder : R. T. Jaynes, D. W. Daniel, W. S. Morrison, Geo. E. Prince, W. R, Osborne, A. C. Latimer and Geo. W. Sullivan. Every pastor present felt that this year will be the bestand that Ander son distriot will take its plaoe at the front in spiritual and benevolent en terprise. Much good was done and the companionship of the brethren was most delightful. After the business of the institute was transacted the members enjoyed a wholesome and elegant dinner pre pared by Mrs. Beasley.-Anderson Mail.

Westminster's Just Pretest The people of Westminster nre kicking about the present schedule of passenger trains on the main line of the Southern as affecting that point, and after hearing the evidenoe it is easy to see that the complaint is a just one. As the schedule now stands* West minster has only one northbound passenger train in twenty-four hours, none of the other passenger trains on the main line stopping there for pas sengers bound for looal points. West minster is a town of considerable importance and such treatment as it is now receiving from the Southern is enough to cause grave dissatisfac tion. Westminster is entitled to better passenger servioe and The News is of the opinion that the grievanoe will be remedied as soon as it is pre sented in its true light to the offi cials of the Sonthern.

The State Senate on the 7th in stant by a decisive vote put itself on record against the State dispensary by a vote of 21 to 16, striking out the enaoting words of Senator Ray? lor's "purification" bill. This vote was a surprise even to the local op Zionists in that body, as they had not sxpeoted to show a majority of more than 2 and possibly nothing more than a bare majority of 1. The die is cast and whatever may be said in the way of explaining this vote by ardent friends of the dispensary, it is believed to be the death knell of that institution.

Lat?? mer to the ranks of the "Old Antis." After Senator Tillman had come out strone; against the President for dismiss ing the negro troops without honor, Senator Latimer racked up to the White House and asked to see "Teddy." Sena tor Tillman isn't on speaking terms with "Teddy." (Neither are we.) Senator Tillman does not raok up to the White House. He doe., not need the White House in his business and the White House gets along without him somehow. Well, Brother Latimer, the subtrees ury leader and Ooala platform shouter, who came so near getting into the Popu list party that he has smelled a little of it ever since, told the President that he was "with him" in the Brownsville mat ter, by golly, he was. And Teddy said, as he always says, "Bully I" Aud they lunched, we suppose. We would have done precisely what Latimer did-except that we might not have gone to the White House; we would have'had more sympathy for "Old Ben," but for whom Mr. Latimer would have been a successful horse doctor or some thing better, instead of Senator. So far as voting to sustain the dismissal of the negro troops is oonoerned, Latimer was right. That could have been done in the capital and without a visit to Teddy. Meantime, Teddy is a great man, though we have never spoken to him, and Sena tor Tillman is the only Southern Senator and one of the three Democrats who thinks he was wrong in dismissing the negro troops who shot np Brownsville, Texas. Hurrah for Tillman, Latimer and Teddy.-Laurens Advertiser. Representative Staples, of Atohi son county, hun offered a resolution in the Missouri Assembly Betting forth in detail the good qualities of the Missouri mule, providing that the State coat of arms be revived and suggesting that instead of the two bears now shown on the emblem two Missouri mules be substituted.
