* THE FARMERS' UNION * * NEWS BUREA V. . * Conducted by tho Executive * * Committee, South Caro- * * lina Farmers' Union. * The Organization. Trying to run a Farmers' Union without due obedience of its constl tuion ls something likq trying to ride a colt without a bridle on him. Early maturity, lt ls said, brings hasty decay. Don't be too nasty about learning the constitution and graduating in the special course on union principles. Whilst you are at every day labor ing hard, with your nose and eyes turned down between cotton rows, trying to lift yourself out of the mire by yourself, by hard tugging at your own boot straps trying to coax your freedom out of the soil by hard la bor alone, some slick duck ls off yonder weaving an agricultural web to oateh all the profits ,on your cotton crop. Wake up there, Old fellow, and come out to the farmers' meeting and help head off these chaps that neither toil nor spin, but they have been thriving like the lilies of the field off of the fat of your lands and labor. Now and then we meet up with,a bucking member in the union that cannot be persuaded to pull true with the members. After trying him thor, oughly with a kind of bronco kinch and an Oklahoma kicking strap and crupper with no improvement, better turn him out to grass. He is not worth his keeping. Human' kindness and brotherly love talk have no influence over that class ot men that love to hum this chorus: "All In, down and out-If I ever get my hand on a dollar again, I am going to hold to lt; lt's my only friend." The social feature of the Farmers' Union not only Improves the moral character of farmers, lt also teaches the benefits of co-operation in busi ness. When they learn how actual dollars run Into the members' pock ets you may not worry about enthu siasm In the union. That will follow as sure as smoke follows Are. Plain Living and High Thinking. At our last meeting of this club one brother read an essay on an article he saw In a dally paper about the prosperous condition of the farmers In a certain section where all were paying cash for their flour, corn, ba con and feed stuffs. Why not raise all these and Bave the cash? In com ing to this meeting we met a man going home from town driving a one mule wagon, loaded with one back of corn, two bales of hay, some small immUrs and one sack of fertilizer. The club spent ono hour discussing the relative value and usefulness of this man, and whether he was really to be classed rn a farmer or a cross between a cotton bear, merchant, far mer and a fool! A committee of three was appointed to investigate this man and make their final report to this club on the 15th day of No vember next. Cotton. Not long since a piece by William E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record, was paraded In the newspapers over the South with a statement that the esti mated average cost of raising cotton in South Carolina is five cents the pound. Wonder If he ever took bia wife and children out In the cotton field and tried it? or If this noted pencil pusher has made any test of actual work along this line? This tame writer states in this article that if cotton can be sold at ten cents the planter can live in luxury. How much luxury do you think a man, mule and his wife and two children would get out of twelve bales of cot ton nt ten cents, after paying for fer tilizer, farm tools, rent or taxes, and food for all? The average luxury, according to the same statistics, would have to come out of a net profit of less than $100, If really any profit at all went to the grower. If Curtis can write out profits on the cotton lands of South Carolina at ten cents like he writes it out on paper nt ten cents, send him down here and the cotton growers here will pay him $10 for his services growing cotton where ho now gets one In pencil pushing. Every right thinking, honest man in any occupation now owns up to the fact that the holding up of the cot ton from a depressed market during the panic ls all that saved the South from financial ruin. This standing firm under fire by the Farmers' Union when "New York financiers sprung the big game" to kill the Farmers* Union and bankrupt the South, ls thu one and only strong and stubborn resisting force that warded off that giant blow that was hurled at the cot ton growers of the South by those moguls of Hades. Very conservative estimates on this saving Of organized farmers ls never placed lower than one hundred and fifty million dollars saving to the South. Yes, Indeed, the Farmers' Union has won a great victory In a stubborn fight against the combined capital of half the world. Shame on that class of cotton grow ers that have stood outsido or the union and never turned a hand to aid in this fight. The union has made for'tho non-union farmers $10 to $15 per hale on all their cotton. Wow be good and own up. Reidsvllle, S.

Please send in reports with fees and duos promptly.' J. Whltner Reid, Secretary S. C. State Farmers' Union. Union Growing in South Carolin?. Executive Committeeman T. C. Wil loughby last week organized nix lo cals In Marlboro county and will work in Horry county next week. Presi dent B. Harris ls in the First District rounding the boys up, and Bays noth ing about it. Burn and J. B. Harris, president ot the Oconee county union, have been commissioned, and have four new ones planted. Most of the organizers are now too buBy with crops to go out, but look out for the biggest growth later on that has ever been made in this 8tate. Stand by Your Army. Rally, boys, rally around the ban ner of the Farmers' Union. The advance of'the grand army of the craftsmen of the farm marks the beginning of the turning point of the career of all those that have com bined to rob the farmer of the profltB on his honest labor. The silent tramp, tramp, tramp, of the onward movement of the Farm ers' Secret Organization drives thril ling terror into the ranks of our ene mies that equals that terror of the new noiseless.army gun. The farming industry of our coun try as to strength, financially, is at least five times that of the combined manufacturers of our country. Our basic national Industry is agriculture. Scarcely any combination of two branches of other occupations equal that of our farms in products. Our farmers not only feed them all, but they lead them all in exports, and cotton brings In all the bulk of all the gold from other countries. As to the strength of the farmers' ballot arid consequent power to cor rect tho evllB of government, or im prove the economic conditions ot trade that oppress our farming inter ests, our farmers, as a body politic, ls a great sleeping giant, and when aroused to action in self-defence, our enemies may look ont for shot. In their rear as they retire over the fence that protects our farming In terests. What ls lt then, after all this, that gets Into the minds of farmers that prompts them to bow down to others and plead for help? It ls not simply the lack of education, which will re veal to them the benefits derived from intelligent co-operation and uni ted actiou for their mutual benefit. It is plain cowardice, and the lack of grit. It is not conservatism! No! you can't pass around cowardice for conservatism any more than you could pass around whitewashed rye for rice. Cotton. Both cotton mills and cotton grow ers are now working a hot and hard game of bluff at each other. Grow ers are pledged to cut acreage 25 per cent and t in mills are pledged to cut their production 25 per cent. We know of some mills that are cutting only forty minutes per day, whilst they are advertised for a 25 percent cut on production. We also know some cotton growers that are pledg ed to cut acreage that are plowing to plant their usual acreage in cot ton, but a large number are cutting heavy. Fertilizer trade was 80,000 tons short in South Carolina the first of March. It is to-day equal to last year, but a larger proportion of fer tilizers are being used on grain this year than ever before. But notwith standing all this, ther? is evidence of danger ahead for the all cotton grower. The chances are that we may look for something to drop or fall on the all-cotton planter, and you had best stand from under danger. Cotton goods aro now retailing at a price that would, we are told, make it profitable to spin cotton at 15 cents, and yet the mills are trying to reduce prices by bucking and shut ting down, which has caused produc ers of raw cotton to make calcula tions and seriously consider the wis dom of manufacturing their raw cotton. There are many counties in the South now that spin from one to four times the amount of cotton produced In their respective counties. For il lustration, I am told that Anderson county, the second largest cotton producing county in the State, spins about four times as much cotton as ls grown in the county. Now, the limit In this brow-beat ing and legal robbing of cotton growers has been reached, and if those in charge of the mills will not spin, there are others that can build more mills and spin, too. In fact, the Southern farmers before the war did spin eight tenths of the goods worn by the common-wealth people, and when the necessity stirs them up to this point they will do lt again. On one side of this grim and re lentless contest between producers and buyers of cotton ls the toiling millions of half paid farmers bat tling for reasonable profits on his labor, on the other side are the cap tains of greed and graft, who have assumed the privilege of setting prices and levying tribute upon pro ducts that they have not spent a day's m bur ur a dime to produce. Every device that greed could plan to outwit the cotton farmer has been used to bear down the price of cot ton, and the weaker have been forced to take the cotton bear prices or take to tho woods. In their despera tion to rule or ruin, the recent made to-order panic has caused thc mills and other manufactories to shut down or cut time at the peril of bread riots. This drastic action of the money power of Gotham la send ing out great armies of tramps over tho country who will grow Into law breakers. The failure of our govern ment to throttle these panic breed ers, gamblors and destroyers of peace and prosperity of our common coun try, are recruiting an army of law breakers and breeding anarchists, and these same people talk about shooting down with gattllng puns the very people they have forcod to this extreme desperation.

Death May Result from Attempt to ' Separate Them. London, April 2.-A Brighton wo man has given birth to twin girls, who are united at the hips by what is believed to be an indissoluble bond of flesh and bone. Dr. James Rooth, who is .attending the case, states that each child has a distinct Individuality, for one has been no ticed to be crying while her sister was sound asleep. The babies are joined in such a way that they are almost back to back, and they have to sleep on their sides with faces turned from each other. It is believed that any attempt to separate them would lead to the death of one or both, but to ascertain exactly whether this is so the chil dren are to be photographed under the X-rays in order to reveal the na ture of the connection.
