In the death of Dr. William Gor
don Neville, LL. D., president of I
the Presbyterian College, Clinton, [
South Carolina loses a great educa
tor. The ohuroh and college's loss can
not be estimated, for "his years were
but young, but his experience old ;
his head unmellowed, but judgment
ripe," and Ooouee mourns for one of
her most distinguished sons.
The sweet message he brought to
the Class of '07 at Westminster, this
year should be kept in memory, foi
the advice be gave was what he had'
lived. We mourn for him, for we
lost a friend to our work. Only a
few weeks ago these treasured words
came in a letter from him : "I am so
glad you have taken a deoided stand
for the cause of education, for, more
than ever before, the times demand
eduoated men and women. May
God bless your noble work for rural
schools and sunshine. Keep a brave
heart and look to Him and you will
meet suooess." Dr. Jphn Gordon
Law lived to see his namesake, Dr.
Neville, reaoh manhood and meet I
youth successfully. O, what a com
fort to him in his deoliniog years to
see his prayers answered. If I can
live to see some of my fondest hopes
for education realized, I will say like
Evangeline said, "All the aohing of]
heart, the recess, unsatisfied long
ingc ; all the dull, deep pains, and
constant anguish of patience, Father |
I thank Thee ! for they were to in
spire me to trust through sunshine 1
or shade."

Farmer?' Union News.
/rom every Southern State comes
the good news that a oampaign in
the interest of the Farmers' Union,
has i-oem arranged for July and Au
gust from South Carolina west, and
South Carolina is now arranging for
a thorough oampaign of the Palmetto
State.
The time is ripe and the farmers
are more ready to organise than ever
before known. Just one good man
in each county of the South for one
month organizing the farmers now
will prepare the way to save millions
for the farmer in marketing the
South's next cotton crop. It is not
enough to organize farmers for their
own protection ?wd go back home
thinking that the thing will work it
self, lt will not do it I Every county
union in the South should see to it
that at least one county newspaper
in each oonnty oarry a column of di
rect news from organized farmers.
Instead of this farmer's column work
ing injury to the regular Farmer's
Union papers it inoreases tho de
mand for such papers. The country
or oounty newspapers are good me
diums for educating the farmer along
the business side of his farming and
in order to keep up with the progress
of the organized movements of the
farmers every farmer should take at
least one good paper that will give
him the news direot as to how things
are going ; but in oase satisfactory
arrangements oaunot be made with
the established press to carry these
farmers' columns in your home pa
pers, a letter addressed to this bureau
setting forth the facts in the case,
every looal union will be supplied
with sample copies of the best and
cboapest papers in the land of the
South, which will enable each union
to make its own selection at large
dub rates.
In order to keep in touch with the
latest prices, plans, and methods of
combining your strength for the
good of all, the farmer must read the
news from reliable sources whioh will
save money enough on one bale of
cotton to pay for five or six good
newspapers.
