THE FARMERS' UNION ? . NEWS BUREAU. . Conducted by the Executive * '(*\ Committee, South Caro lina Farmers' Union. The Organized Farmer. Ever think about this? One?small strand of a aider's web or silk will scarcely hold down u housefly, but many thousand? of these lnflnitely small strands'properly combined or woven together, will make a rope strong enough to hold down a lion, the king of beasts, or anchor an ele phant to a tree! Farmers, sinsle ?handed and alone, you have no more fcugth tiiau one lone strand of silk, jl many thousands of you, well or nized and woven together for your mutual benefit, can tie down the greatest trust giant or corporation mogul on earth. Farmers, hush talking and grumbling; come to gether In a compact, then you can talk less and do more. Some farmers say they cannot spare the time to attend farmers' or ganization meetings, but if you no tice these same chaps are forced to spare large enough profits to others that can be saved to the farmer by concert of action among farmers. Go to the insane a ylum and you will see one lone sane man controll ing and subduing a large body of strong insane men without tho use of arms. Ask this keeper of the In sane if he Is not afraid that these strong men will combine and kill him, and he will tell you no, that fools never organizo. The Farmers' Union, the great lib erator of the farmer, ls growing. Six new comities tn bo organizer! tn this State soon, and North Carolina, Ken tucky and Colorado are to form State Unions w!f!\in the next thirty days. The "Rubes have not cut their own throats," but are hard at lt strengthening the panic-stricken ?ices in their fences. . T There ls nothing now in tho gag that the Farmers' Union is the cause of the recent panic. Way back yon der Aesop in his fable told about the hungry wolf that wanted lamb moat raising a row with the lamb for mud dying the water when the lamb was drinking out of the stream below the wolf. The wily politician will soon be out in the field stamping and pawing hot air, trying to win the fear-lnsplring farmer's vote by saying good thingB about the farmers' organisations. Let him talk on while you wrinkle up your nose at him. If you were not a Farmers' Union man what would you be? If you were in distress on your farm and needed help at once, you would call on your neighbor to join In and help you out, and a good union man will do it. , . Cotton. The biggest cotton bear on the market ls the cotton grower-dumper, who produces more cotton than he can control. Are you going to control your cot ton crop this Heuson, or will your cot ton control your whole farm and fam ily? Henry Grady said, "Cotton is a fool." Don't follow a fool and then blame Wall street or cotton ex changes for getting you into trouble. Prices for cotton shirts are usu ally the same yesterday, to-day and the whole season. But cotton gam blers' chips push prices of cotton up or down as though the real, value of raw cotton was worth moro or less in the morning or evening of the same day. Quicksilver is used by miners to gather in the small particles of gold. There ls more gold in three inches of the top soil of the Suoth than all thu mines of the world contain, but the cotton growers who are digging down into mother earth for this hid den treasure must use home-grown food stuff to collect or coin tho gold extracted from Southern soil through cotton crops. i The Wometa and the Barnyard Hen; or, the Men ?nd the Cotton Mule. This woman for Farmers' Union principles ?oes up head. This far mer's wife drove ten miles to town with twenty dozen eggs, expecting twenty cents for them-the price she got for the last lot-hut as over one thousand dozen had been dumped In that town within a few days, every body was loaded up on eggs and the nrlces dropped from 20c. to 8c, but the old lady swore that she would stand from under any such collapse, and declared that she would not per mit her hens wearing out their con stitutions laying eggs at 8 c., If the .V men did wear out their lands grow ing cotton at 8 cents. She took her eggs back home, packed them down in salt on little ends in a nail keg and got 26 cents a dozen next winter. This was warehousing eggs on the very cheapest plan and coining over 300 per cent clear In nine months. This farmer's wife, made clear profits enough in nine months on each nail keg of eggs to pay for nails to fill each keg. Anything like that to be made out of cotton on the farm?

Sends Another Note Asking the Law Makers to Act Promptly. Washington, March 26.-The spe cial message of President Roosevelt to Congress-, urging the enactment of various laws and. amendments, was read to both Houses this morning. Reforms touched upon in former '/messages were Impressed upon the law-makers. , The points touched by the Presi dent aro as follows: "I call your attention to certain measures as to which I think there should be action by Congress before thc closo of tho present session. * . * Child labor should be prohibited throughout the nation. At least a model child labor bill should be pass od for tho District of Columbia. * * * 1 renew my recomir<mdation for the immediate re-enactment of an employers' liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decision of the I Supreme Court. Within the limits Indicated by - the court, the law I pnould be made thorough and com prehensive, and tho protection lt af fords should embrace every claso of employee to which the power of the Congress can extend. In addition to a liability law protecting th . em ployees of common carriers, the gov ernment should show its good faith by enacting a further law giving compensation to its own employees for lr |< vy or death incurred in Ita service. "I again call attention to the ur gent need of amending the inter state commerce law, and especially the anti-trust law along the lines in dicated in my last message. The in ter-State commerce law should be amended so as to give railroads the right to make traffic agreeable, sub ject to these agreements being ap proved by the Inter-State Commerce Commission and published in all of their details." ..'*'. Other recommendations contained in the message embrace the follow ing: To modify anti-trust laws, as cer tain combinations in commerce are necessary. To require labor organizations, farmers' organizations to register under Si?i, giving location of head quarters, officers, etc. To pass such legislation as will en. courage trade agreements between employees and employers. To 'enact financial legislation, the pos.al savings bank system being en dorsed. To put on the free list of Imports wood pulp where such ls Imported from a country that does not Impose duty on exports ol that commodity. This affects mainly the newspaper In terests. . .

A Father's Matrimonial Insurance. (Ladies' Home Journal.) A successful business man and the proud father of several daughters, was endeavoring to find out a cer tain young man's intentions in visit ing his house. "Yes," said tho old man, "I am proud of my girls and would like to see them comfortably married. I have made a little money, and they .will not go to their husbands penni less. There's Mary, twenty-five years i old, and a real good girl. I shall give her $5,000 when she marries; then comes Bet, who won't seo thirty five again, and I shall give her $10, 000; and the man who takes Eliza who ls forty, will have $15,000 with her. Ahem!" The young man reflected a mo ment or so, and then queried: "You haven't got one about fifty, have you?" An Insidious Danger.

North Carolina's Governor Talks of Supreme Court's Decision. Washington, March 26.-Gover nor Robert B. Glenn, of North Caro lina, 'in expressing his opinion of the decision of the United States, Su preme Court in the Minnesota and North ? Carolina caseB, said that he agreed with the minority of the court and thought Justice Harlan in more accord with previous decisions of the court, and that the eleventh amendment to tho constitution was of no effect. The Governor further said that his personal opinion of the decision, though lt might be changed by a careful reading of the entire opinion, was that hereafter auy rail road, by appealing to a Federal Dis trict or Circuit Judge, can set at naught the will of the people of a State, its laws made hy its legisla tors and such a decision is a far reaching step toward destroying tho State rights and putting the enforce ment of State laws In the hands of Federal Judges. Asked what he would do in case the railroads should decline to recognize the present law, he said: "I will enforce the law just as I did then, unless stopped by the courts. Prior to 1907 I favored a 2 Vt cent rate as the proper rate for passenger fare on the railroads. The Legislature, however, Axed lt at 2 % cents. The railroads refused to obey the law, and, though the rate was lower htan I favored, I would have enforced it regardless of costs or difflcultles.M_ AS TO SERVICE OF JURORS. Law Has Reen Changed-Fines Will Be Made for Non Service. The recent General Assembly made some changes In the law compelling Jurors to serve when they are drawn. Here is what the new law in -part says: I "That if any Juror duly summon ed shall neglect or refuse to appear In obedience to any venire issued by any police or municipal or magistrate court and shall not within 48 hours render to the recorder or magistrate holding such police or magistrate court and issuing the venire, a suffi cient reason for his delinquency he shall forfeit and pay a fine cf $10, and if, upon failure to pay the fine, he shall be Judged in contempt, he shall be punished: Provided, no per son shall tie required to serve on a jury in said courts oftener than once In each month of the year." An Indefensible Position. (Anderson Daily Mall.) The doctrine of the sovereignty of a State looks all right on paper, and sounds very well in a campaign speech -sometimes, but it can be car ried to absurd excess. ' Take, tor instance, this case of the dike on Seneca river on the Clemson College farm. Certain land owners on the riv. v say they have been damaged by the building of the dike, claiming that the dike caused the river to overflow their farms. They brought suit for damages against the trustees, and the case, was thrown out of court on the ground that the college trustees are agents of the State and the State cannot be sued without its consent. There may be nothing in the claim of these land owners, and they may not be entitled to any damages. But they have been denied a day in court, and that is wrong. They have been denied the right of having their cause passed on by a jury of citizens, and in this there has been the rankest sort of injustice. We are told now that the land owners will bring suit against the trustees Individually. This may look to be a harsh procedurq, and we do not think lt ought to prevail. But if the trustees had acted .vith or 11 nary common sense, and had not de nied the land owners the right to go into court in a fair manner with their case, whether their case was just or not, this latter step would? not be necessary. The trustees have been arbitrary and unjust. The land owners may not have any good cause, as we have said before, but it ought to be left to an impartial Jury to say so. The nllege trustees should not pass upon it without the right of appeal. JUST ONE WORD that word Is iMi lt raf ?rt to Dr. Tut t'a LiverPlllannd MEANS HEALTH. Ara you constipated?

Four Deep In Burying Ground. Augusta, Gr. March 26-Through a cow grazing in the cemetery step oing into what appeared to be a H hallow grave, the fact has devel oped that bodies have been burled four deep at the Rollersvlllo ceme tery, an old burial ground In Harris burg. Orders have been .. issued closing the cemetery to any further burials. Investigation developed the fact that during the year past when the graveyard became congested, a number of unknown graves were opened, the remains put in new cof fins and those coffins re-interred lour deep to make room for new burials, the result being that th j top coffin was but a few Inches under the surface of the earth. Bears Oe _!??T5 KM You Haw Atwars Bnifl ANNA GOULD IN NEW YORK. So ls Prince Helle-Count Boni Com .inst-TIdngs Moy Be Lively. New York March 27.-Edmond Kelly, the pc ' tonal attoruey of Mme. Anna Gould, and the man who secur ed the divorce for her from the Count do Cast.'liane, ls in New York and has had a conference with Prince 11, lie de Sagan. Mr. Kelly was at the Waldorf-As toria last night, and, aftor sending up his name by telephone to tho prince, immediately wont to tho lat ter^ suite. The two men held a long conference, and It is said that the lawyer mnde arrangements (or a meeting between the prince and Mme Gould. Tho Prince de Sagan admitted that he' ?B to meet Mme. Gould. This meeting, he said, was scheduled to take the form of a luncheon at the home of Mme. Gould's friends, Mr. and Mrs. Tyler Morse. It ls considered of peculiar signifi cance that Mr. Kelly should be in New York at this time. That the affairs of Mme. Could may be still further complicated be came a possibility to-day whon a ru mor gained currency that Count Boni de Castellano was preparing to fol low her to New York. It wag said that he had cabled to one of the lar ger hotels here to reserve for him a suite of six rooms, and that he would be here to occupy it within the next two weeks. The ostensible object of the count's coming to New York is to see his children, which the di vorce decree granted to his 'former wife permitted. The Home of Storms* The waters o? Cape Horn have never been unvisited by storms for more than a week or two at a stretch within th? memory of man. Standing on the outposts of the wtfrld, Cape Horn is the meeting place of ocean currents of very dif ferent temperature, from the icy cold water of the Antarctic drift to the warmth of the Brazilian and Peru vian return currents. The prevailing winds are from the northwest and west, and these, com ing from the warm regions of the Pacific, condense into fogs, which the sailors call "Cape Horn blankets" and which are the forerunners of storms. The extremely low level to which the glaciers of Tierra del Fue go descend, the perpetual congela tion of the subsoil, the meeting of conflicting winds at very different temperatures, are all direct or indi rect causes combining to make this the most constantly stormy region of the world. . -????

Value of Cotton Seed Products. . In a recent speech made by L. A. Ransom, of Atlanta, that recognized authority on fertilizers said: ' "The oil mills in Georgia have made the value of the seed crop this yoar equal to the cost of all the com mercial fertilizers used under all of the crops planted in Georgia of every kind and character, and the excess over the cost of fertilizers will prob ably pay the cost of ginning and packing the cotton crop. The mills take the seed and further add to this inaginficent sum by converting the seed into ediule oil, rivaling the fam ous olive oil of Europe, transform this oil into products as useful and more wholesome than any animal fat and still further increase these val ues by manufacturing from the seed a stock food, cotton seed meal and hulls, exceeding In feeding value all other known feeding materials. This encourages the dalry iuteresis of the South and will eventually create a great cattle industry, followed by the establishment of packing houses." t_ Stop That Cold To ?heck early colds or Grippe with "Preventlc*" meeij ?ure defeat for Pneumonie.
