The next annual session of the Ver bandBfest of the South Atlantio States .will be held in Charleston in Juno, 1008. We attended the Soheutsonfeat, and would like to be present at the Vorbands fost and beerdrink/.enfest. Tho National Manufacturers' Associa tion is going to raiso $500,000 a year for ? three years to burst up the trade unions. The National Manufacturers must be made up of a lot of ohoap stiffs or think tho unions are. There aro 3,000,000 unior'sts in this country and they como higl e. : than 50 conts por capita. ll. P. Cliukscalos, Jr., graduated from tho law department of the South Caro-1 lina University last week. Ho will probably locate in Audorson for the prac tico of his profession.

"Methods of Eradicating Cattle Tick" is tho title of Bulletin 130. recently issued by tho South Carolina Experiment Sta tion. Dr. L. A. Kleiu, State Veteri narian, ?B the author, lt ls a valuable | contribution to the literature of the sub ject and has boen propared with great oaro. Tho bulletin is furnished free to all who write to the station requesting lt The Columbia Record of June 14 says: "Beginning to-morrow, the wholesalo price of soft drinks will be advanced from 40 cents per orate to 00 cents and the price of special drinks will be raisod from 50 cents per crate to 70." Tho poo plo of Walhalla and Ooouoe county have boon paying 00 and 70 cents per crate all tho time, but it is pretty high for Conga ree slush. F. H. Hyatt, tho president of the South Carolina Good Roads Association, has called a mooting to be hold in Spar tanburg on August 7 and 8. A lotter has been sent out to all of the county super visors urging a largo attendance, as seve ral matters of importance are to be dis cussed and the association is promised an interesting program. A Cotton Sohool, modeled after the Alabama mot hod, .will be held in Green ville from July ID to September 17, nu der the auspices of the Farmers' Uniou. There will bo spocial lectures dolivoreu on the cotton plant, features of growing cotton, a ;d tho classing and sales of the staple. Wo would liko for as many farmers in Oconeo county as eau to at tend this meeting. If you can't stay but ii few days, it will, wo aro sure, provo helpful. _ An Alburquerque, N. M., newspaper recontly interviewed Senator Tillman while in that town. Wo quote one para graph of the interview: " 'We strenuously objcot to the negro sooking social or political equality with tho whites, and wo will continuo to object as long as thcio is a Southerner living.' declared Mr. Tillman." Wonder if Rennie will join tho crowd when all tho Southerners aro doad! Tho South Carolina Rural Lotter Car riers' Association will convene in Green ville July 3, and will bo in sossion until the evening of July 4. Congressman J. T. Johnson has accoptod an invitation to dolivor an address before the conven tion. Tho convention m Greonvillo promisos to be ono of the most successful conventions held since tho organization was foi med in ?Iii? .Stato and it is ex pected that fully thirty counties will bo represented. On the Otb pago of this issue wo pub lish in full tito Williamson plan of corn culture-making oar instead of stalk. Thoro aro many fields of little, yellow, grassy corn in this section ready for tho Williamson treatment. Now is tho proper timo to begin and many fields havo been humiliated unintentionally, and, by immediate action, many bushels of ?Mio corn can bo made. Tho stunting plan is being practiced by sovcral of our most progressive farmers with satisfac tory results. Read tho article carofully And file it away for future reference A Washington dispatch says: "Tho JPost Oftico Department, tn the full ness of its generosity, bas issuer? an Arder, in which it is stated that all post masters in the United States at offices of ?he second and third classes will be ?rmnted leavo of absonco for not oxceed ng fifteen days to onablo thom to attend the annual meeting of tho National Asso ciation of Postmasters of tho second and third classes, to he hold at Washington, October 22, 23 and 24, 1W)7." We would like to know of a collection will be taken up for the 1008 Republican campaign fund. NOW FOR BIO FARMERS' PICNIC. The officers of the South Carolina branch of the Southern Cotton Associa tion will conduct a month's campaign in July in the interest of the organization. K. D. Smith, who is one of the most at tractive and popular speakers iu the South, will be the prinoipal speaker. It I has been announoed at the office of the association in Columbia that the offloers of the South Carolina division will speak at Walhalla on Friday, July 10th. We would suggest that arrangement? be I -??un at onoe to make this the big gest meeting hold in the State. Certainly every farmer in the county ought to attend this meeting, and proba bly will. If he comes, why oan't he bring his family with him, and let all of the household have a day's outing? Walhalla used to have grand annual picnics, and these occasions were eagerly looked forward to every year, and peo ple would oome in from all parts of the county, meet together and have a general good time and every one present went away feeling that it was well to have been here. Walhalla is still here and is always ready and willing to welcome the good people of the county and strangers within her gates, and we say let's have the pie na; on the 10th of July, at some place in or near Walhalla. ?vorybody come and bring dinner; aud let the people and oitizens and business mon of our town attend in full force, as they did of old, and bring along dinner, too. We would Buggest that a committee, compoBod of the gentlemen named be low, take Btops AT ONCE to get this m at tor on foot, and lot tho committee appoint sub-committees in Walhalla and t lin ? i mia mt the county. We suggest this committee: Sonator J. K. Earlo, Wm. J. Striblirg, C, R. D. Burns-, J. P. Strib ling, President of the Oconoo County Cotton Association; J. li. Pickott, Presi dent of tho Ooonoo County Farmers' Union. What say you, gentlemen? Wo think Senator Earle ought to call a meeting at once of the committeo suggested above, and consider tho matter. We stand ready t" give publioity to any and all notices or programs the com mitteo may deliver to us, and help in any other way that we can. Let's have the pionic! NEW HOPE. Now IIopo, Juno 15.-Hov.

The road, when finished, will run from Knoxville, Tenn., to Walhalla. The road is finished out of Knoxville to * point on the Little Tennessee in North Carolina. It is finished from Walhalla northward to Franklin. The work of grading has practically all been done except about 10 miles near Franklin and seven miles on the Little Tennessee river. The road runs through property owned by Messrs. Bailey A Co., of Waycroes, Ga. Messrs. Bailey A Co., are saw mid men, who own a large tract of land on the Little Tennessee river. They claim to have a great water po em and are try ing to prevent the locativa of the road according to the present surveys on the grounds that it will diminish the value of the water power. Excepting for this law HU it the 17 miles of unfinished road might be completed in six to eight months. It is thought, however, that it will be at least nigh toon months before the law suit oan be settled and the road completed. The Hon thorn is not willing to complete the road until tbe law suit is first settled. Do Not Neglect the Children.
