At the second annual meeting of the South Carolina division of the Farmers1 Union, held at Greenwood July 25-27, about 850 members were present in exooutive session. These men of the farms wore upon their countenances a determined look that means ranon. They feel confident of their ability to maintain the position they have taken in man aging their own affairs in their own way, and their success verifies this opinion. National President G. S. Barrett, ot Atwater, Ga., addressed the meet ing at 8 o'olock for a period of two hours. Among other things, he said thc union waa now more harmonious than any other farmers' organization had ever been in the South before. The average growth of the union is now over 8,000 members a day. Some days it roaches 5,000 and 6,000 new members. The enrolled mem bership now is over one and a half million, None of the State organizations have any debts and there is more or less money in the treasury of every State organization. The national treasurer has considerable money to his oredit. One of the most important things in conneotion with the Farmers' Union is the tale now ourrent that the organization is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, poh has boen said about this mat r of affiliation with the general federation and the attitude of many good and conservative men on the outside has boen undecided towards the organization, pending a state ment of its position. President Bar rett was asked this question : ((Js the Farmers' Eduoational and Co-opera tive Union affiliated with tho Ameri can Federation of Labor?" Tho answer was "No," and in his ad dress to tho meeting hore ho cau tioned the membors to "go slow about affiliating with any organiza tion." He further said . "Why should we affiliate whon the Farmers' Union is now strong enough and powerful enough to accomplish any thing that it wants to that is just and right?" The second session of the Farmers' Union opened at 0 o'clock p. m. Pres. O. P. Goodwin oalled the meeting to order and introdnced Hon. G. M. Davis, of Atlanta, Ga., State organizer of the Georgia divi r sion. Mr. Davis was the sole speaker Lof the evening and spoke for about two hours.- He roado a good, ?oned, practical talk, and one that the dele gates have talked about more than Why nc People ? grow excited o some of them g the actual anal} Too ma economies and save a consider f^lj^K H your farm worl s Take 01 actual analysis our brands, ext: Come ar than give you y that of any other. He spoke of the harmonious working of the Georgia anion and told of the magnificent appropriation by the State of Geor gia for agricultural district Behool fl and nrged that South Carolina take steps along this same line. He said : "You know everybody says the farmer won't stick, bat the farmers of Georgia who won't stiok to the anion get stuck." In regard to the high prioe of cotton, he said that 25-oont cotton would ruin the farm ing interests of the South. It would oaase the mill people to qait spin ning and all go to producing cotton. Speaking of politics and the much mooted question of pol?tica ruining the organization or any organization that allows politics, Mr. Davis said : "That as the national government has instituted a strict quarantine against cattle ticks, so the Farmers' Union had instituted a strict quaran tine against politics." At the close of his speech the evening meeting closed. The first meeting cn the second day was oalled to order at 0 o'olook. The court house was well filled. Hon. T. T. Wakefield, of Ander son, president of the Anderson county union and vioe president of the State division, introduced the. following resolution as the work of the committee on the operation in cotton baling, handling and market ink. The resolution is as follows : "We favor a system of uniform baling of cotton into packages of 24 inches wide by 86 inches long ; that the cotton be covered neatly and securely with ?any servioable wrap ping, our preference being given to cotton wrapper; that we approve the ootton union system of market ing ootton." At ll a. m., National President C. S. Barrett made an address to the general publio in the court house. He stated, among other things, that he had talked Farmers' Union ao mnch that he had about forgotten everything else he ever knew. He said the tiers' Unions of the South now , and operate 1,000 warehouses ot their own, " W e do not own or operate any stores," he said. The man who doesn't stiok himself is the one ?ho is always say ing the other fellow won't stiok. The old farmer ha? gotten enough of par tisan politics. The Farmers' Union stands for more improvement in rural schools. Only one of the whole number of the present national offi cials of the Farmers' Union has ever held any political office or been in politics. The following officers were eleoted at an executive session in the afternoon : ' President, O. P. Goodwin,1, Lau rens. Vioe presidont, T. T. Wakefield, Anderson. Seoretary-treasurer, B. F. Earle, Anderson. Chaplain, A. B. Blaok, Greenville. A State organizer is to be eleoted by the executive oommittoe at a later date. Quite a number of dele gates have expressed their desire for the Georgia organizer, Mr. Davis, and it is probable that an effort will be made to secure his servioes in this State. The other officers are : H. T. Campbell, doorkeeper; S. W. Wide mah, conduotor ; J. Wade Diokson and W. E. Hopkins, sergennts-at arms; executive committeemen, J. B. Piokett, W. L. Anderson, J.

The agricultural experiment sta tion at Clemson College has just completed quito an important series of tests looking to the disclosure of what would seem to be the best ration for oowa. The tests covered a period of five months, and the con olusionB are summarized in Bulletin No. 131 as follows: 1. (foo'l cotton seed meal, when fed in conjunction with good oom silage, may be fed to the extent of from five to six pounds per oow daily without affecting the health of the animals. Indeed, suoh a ration appears to keep cows in an unusually good state of health. 2. A ration consisting of cotton seed meal and good corn silage is consumed by cows with great relish, which is in no way lessened when the feeding of suoh a ration is con tinued for a period of five months. 3. No bad cf fcc tn ever noticeable from the praotioe of feeding cotton seed meal and corn silage separately. On the oontrary, suoh a praotice ap pears to have distinct advantages over the common praotice of mixing the meal with the roughness. Our results, therefore, tend to disprove the prevailing belief that heavy con centrates like ootton seed meal will act detrimentally on the health of cows when fed unmixed with more bulky feeds. Cows fed exclusively on cotton seed meal and corn silage for a period of five months exhibited no craving for dry roughage, but alwayB preferred silage to good hay. 5. According to the herd records, tho cows yielded more milk and but ter-fat daring the experiment than hiring any corresponding period in previous years. 6. Cotton seed meal and rioh, well matured corn silage constitute in excellent ration for cows yielding Prom twenty to thirty pounds of milk daily. 7. Cotton seed meal and corn silage form by far the cheapest dairy feeds available to our dairy men. The cost of suoh a ration is when you buy Fertilizers? trugglc for reduction in the prie ey are being robbed for tese n ee dollars per ton more for their i that are hard to secure, and o very Farmer who will use good ertilizers.

Our good results in the exolu sive feeding of cotton seed meal and corn silage as a dairy ration are un doubtedly largely attributable to the faot that the oom silage was made from well matured corn rich in grain, making it especially rich in carbo hydrates. Unless silage is especially rich in grain, a ration consisting en tirely of corn silage and cotton, seed meal will laok in non-nitrogenous matter. 0, With cotton seed meal furnish ing an unusually cheap protein sup ply, and with the great yields of corn possible in this State, we feel confident that milk oan be prodnoed as cheaply, if not more oheaply, in South Carolina than in any other portion of the world.

Among the most interesting reml neeoenoes in Gen. Lew Wallsoe's Auto biography, a few are of deeper interest than the following story concerning Gen. Grant: "At City Point, in 1804, I was Gen. Grant's guest by speoial invitation, and witnessed a scene of rare interest. "It was announoed at Bupper that the general would reoeive a delegation of citizens from Philadelphia, coming with an unknown purpose. " 'We must be there,' said Dowers, thu assistant adjutant general, 'and you must watch Grant when it comes time for him to reply. If he's a little stumped, and wants a moment to think, he always gets it by striking matchee, pretending he can't get one to burn. Sometimes he'll spoil a bowlful; but when he has his idea olear, the trouble is over." "The meeting took place in the little box the general oalled his offloe. We were all there; so was the delegation. The spokesman took the door and de livered a sp cooli. " 'Gen. Grant, we represent the busi ness men of Philadelphia and have been oharged to tell you frankly that you must do something deoisive immediately In the South and along the Mississipp everybody is activo. Sherman ls thun dering away in the heart of the South. Tou alone are doing nothing. We have oome to implore you to wake up.' "Grant turned to the mantel, on whloh there was a bowlful of matches and a box of olgars. Taking a fresh elgar, be Btruok ma ten after match without avail ; it looked as if the supply would all go. Minutes passed; at last he struok Ure. " 'Gentlemen,' the general said, 'you urge me to move, and have been at pains to oome and tell mo that Sherman will shortly shut me out of public attention if I don't hurry and head him off. Well' -he stopped and whiffed a moment 'Sherman is aoting by order, and I am waiting on him. Just as soon as I hear that he is on the sea coast, then, the Mississippi river bolng seoured for our boats, I will take Riohmond. Were I to move now Leo would evacuate Rioh mond, taking his army somewhere South, and I would have to follow him to keep him from jumping on Sherman. That would be very inconvenient to mo, as it would compel me to haul supplies in wagons over unknown dirt roads to an unknown distance. I hope, gentlemen, you will report to your constituents how muoh I am obligod to Gen. Loe for stay ing whero he is, and bo oareful, please, to tell thom that jealousy between Gon. Sherman and mo is impossible. Please smoko with me.' " --4*? Hundreds of poople yearly go through painful operations needlessly, because they never tried ManZan Pile Remedy.

London, August 3.-Wireless telegra phy is at last an established f not, both I scientifically aad com ni oro lal ly. A director of the Amalgamated Radio* Telegraphy Company told an Express representative yesterday that his con. - pany is ready to take orders for the in stallation of a wireless telephony system to oover a distance up to twenty-five miles, over fairly flat land or over water. "Last Monday," he said, "I ?jpoke in I our laboratory at Berlin to a temporary laboratory whioh we have erected some seven miles away from that oity, and that waa not under the beat conditions, beoanse the aerial (or wire) at the tem porary station waa suspended between two factory shafts instead of tue usual masts. "From experiments whioh we have been conducting in Berlin, we are able to guarantee perfect communication by wireless telephony over twenty-five miles of not too hilly country. "The inventor of the continuous un damped wave, by whioh means only is wireless telephony made possible, was M. Valdemar Poulsen, a noted Danish electrical engineer. About eight months ago we bonght M. Poulsen's invention, together with all his plant and experi mental stations, and we have secured patents for the whole world with the exception of the United States. "We are now converting our stations at Oxford and Cambridge into wireless telephony stations on the Poulsen sys tem, and when the work is completed, whioh will probably be in six weeks' time, we shall begin to experiment there. I am confident that we shall be success ful in establishing virolos? telephonlo communication ov <r the sixty miles whioh separate thc two university towns, and I do not hesitate ttf "T^i-ess my con viction that in a few years' time we shall be able to speak aoross the Atlantic."
