UN?ON BUREAU. Our Cotton Letter. We are rejoiced to see the grit and pluck shown by so many Farmers' Union men during this supreme mo ment when all New York seems to be combined to break down our deter mined efforts to hold cotton for prof itable prices. There ire more and stronger men in the Holding crowd this year tban ever known before, and quite a large number are with us this time that do not belong Ito either the Farmers' Union or the Cot ton Association. Our farmers' ware houses all over South Carolina are being filled up with cotton. Ander son County Union has her large two story house full and now filling ano ther department In a cotton mill house. In fact, everywhere we hear of warehouses being filled and throw ing the key away, not to be found until minimum prices are reached. Fully half the cotton held (s not In warehouses. All are freezing to their cotton and are going to hold on until iii .carries them in sight of the burn ing sulphuric blue blazes of Hades before they will let it go at cotton bear prices.. ; The time 1B now at hand when all the South must stand up for cotton. Every banker, merchant and all other business men munt aid cotton' grow ers in their p?ruggles for the profits on cotton that go to Increase the flow of money of all trader. Cotton growers themselves must, for a time, while the fight for profita ble prices is on, leave off luxuries and denv themselves and f sm? lisT ':'):*'" "f the comforts that they may expect to enjoy when they gain, the victory. The cotton grower who U In the fight for right must wear out his old clothes and then patch them. He must do without sugar in his coffee If necessary and only cae drink of whiskey a week, and a whole lot of other things, and above all go at lt nuw to raise everything at home that will grow on your lands that you need. Diversify your crops and this will improve your lands and increase the yield and profits. We have won our prices on cotton seed because the oil mills are here among us, where we can attend to our own affairs, and New York is not in it. It now beginB to look as if we at the South will be forced tb spin up more of our own cotton, too. The'South must now set up a de termined fight against this New York skinning game on her cotton crop and go at in earnest to improve our own Southern ports. South Carolina must stand for Charleston as her shipping port for her cotton, and pa tronize imports brought in by Bhlps that export her cotton, and all other cotton ?tates must do the same for their respective ports. The South does not owe New York any bounties or pensions in this cot ton business. The New York cotton handling business was built up by men-many of whom were reared in the South-and we have more as capable men here to build up our Southern ports and shipping inter ests. The South's prosperity was not brought about by New York's aid or friendship, but it has been forged out of the golden profits of her cot ton in spite of New York's skinning games, practiced by her cotton ex change and other combinations ot accumulated wealth. Cotton bears,and speculators that have done no other business all their lives cannot afford to give up their occupations without a hard fight. They have "ot to put up a hard fight or starve while they run. The farmer that gives in and lets the speculator have his cotton at panic prices, when he can help lt, has no more grit or pluck than a coward ly soldier that stampedes and flees to the rear at the first fire from the e: uny'a gun. The relief afforded cotton growers under the new plan of storing his cot ton across the ocean, out of New York panics, where both storage cost and interest on advance are much cheapr* ls a good move at the right time, .his will show New York that she cannot skin cotton growers when they take a notion to keep them from doing it. Many of our best farmers say they are too busy to attend union meet ings. A man that is not busy at home or ls not worth auything to himself or his family at home, ls of no .use to his Farmers' Union. Stick a pin down at this point, and please remember it. A good farmers' union is made of good working farmers that have de termined to think some as well as work soreo. When a member undertakes to rule or run thc union and the mem bership, get on to him- You may listen for something to drop, and down he goes himself. National President diaries S. Bar rett, of the Farmers' Union, has is sued the following address tc the cotton growers, urging them to hold for the lfi-cent minimum, set by the National Union: "To the Members of the Farmers' Union Throughout the Cotton Belt: Now ls the timo for a strong pull; for a pull altogether. Do not let another bale of cotton go on the market! The dumpers have about all sold, and a firm stand at this time will win the victory. "The New York Exchange has sold cotton to our customers-thc spin ners-for delivery in November, De cember, January and February, at a price far below our minimum, and .must deliver the goods or put up the1 ' cash. Tho only thing for the farmers to do to put them out of the business absolutely ls to hold every bale of cotton out of their hands. There has not been enough cotton delivered in the last sixty days to run the mills by 400,000 bales." Don'* worry about your kidneys when you can obtain 30 days' treat ment of Plnoules for $1.

In talking about the high school movement Prof. W. H. Hand, of the University of South Carolina, to night said: "The high school move ment for the establishment of high schools, where none existed, or for the Improvement of those already In existence, is succeeding beyond the hope of its friends and supporters. The movement began with the hearty and intelligent support of the col leges, at wbose hands lt has reudved constant encouragement. The high school teaohera, both public and pri vate, have lent their warm support. At the beginning lt was not known just how the people would come to the upbuilding of the secondary bchools. ' There can be no room for doubt now. Of more than two hun dred communities visited within the past sixteen months, In only one have I been told that the people did not care to consider the matter at all. Fewer than half a dosen high school elections have finally failed. "The following places have com plied with thc High School Act, and win receive the State aid this year: Brimson, Bamberg, Cross Hill* Cross Anchor, Cavlns, Batesburg, Dillon, Ea8ley, Fort Mill, Denmark, Foun tain Inn, Heath Springs, Hampton, Jonesville, Johnston, Jefferson, Little Mountain, Laurens, Mountvllle, Mc coll, Mullins, Winnsboro, Marlon, Ninety-Six, North Augusta, Olar, Prosperity, Ridgeway, Saluda, Saint Qanrn USlC?

High school elections are now pend ing at about six other places. "These schools are situated at places ranging from rural school dis tricts to towns of 5,000 inhabitants. In all but three places, the high school territory embraces from two common school districts to a town ship of eight districts. At Borne of these places no high school existed before, at others the school has been enlarged in some way. In every ease, save one, a teacher has been added, or a year added to the course, or some study added, and In several places all three have been added."

Lincoln, Neb., November 7.-Later elections returns serve to confirm pre vious estimates and to emphasize the victory of the Republican State ticket. They show the election of Judge Reese by a plurality of not less than 16,000 and possibly 20,000. The Re publicans gain one district court judge and possibly two. Hearst a "Dead Duck." New York, November 7.-Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, to-dii v stated that Tuesday's elec tion results eliminated William R. Hearst from local politics. Timothy L.

If I am to make the race I want to get right into it and let the people know just what I intend to do." "Do you understand that the field is to be left io you and Senator Latl mer, that the others who have been talked about as likely to make the race will not run if you are to run?" he was asked.

'Knights of the Grip" Start Move ment to Aid Fanners. Columbia, S. C., November 4. A meeting of the traveling men In the city was held last night in the dining room of the Caldwell Hotel to discuss a proposition to assist the cotton growers of the South in the effort to hold their cotton crop. The meeting was a continuance of a meet lng which was held earlier In the day at the Knights of the Grip booth at the fair grounds. About twenty traveling men, members of the T, P. A. and U. C. T.. were present, beside several farmers and other represen tative men of the State and some politicians. The proposition as stated last night by the chairman of the meeting, is for 30,000 persons to put up $80, 000,000 in cash for the purpose of financing the cotton crop; that ls, to asaipt the farmers in their efforts to hold their staple for higher prices. It ls proposed that the traveling men, and all others interested in this scheme, pool whatever sums, from $500 up, they are able .to furnish, which is to be loaned to the farmers on .cotton warehouse receipts at 6 per cent Interest. Several addresses were made, among them a very able talk by Ex Governor Heyward. J. E. Wanna maker, president of the Orangeburg Cotton Growers' Association, made a short, but very pointed and forceful address, and said that he was heartily in favor of the project. A number of others spoke, and the meeting did not adjourn until near 12 o'clock. Among those present at the meet ing were Congressmen Lever, Finley and Ellerbe. To-day resolutions will be prepared by the traveling men and a general call will be issued to all the traveling men's organizations throughout the South to rally to the undertaking.
