NEWS BUREAU. . . _ . * Conducted by the Executive * * Committee, South Caro- * . lina Farmers' Union. * ************ Union is in Fine Condition. At a meeting of the State Execu tive Committee of the South Caro lina Farmers' Union, April 21st, State Secretary-Treasurer Reid's re port showed the union to be in much better condition financially, and as to its progress, than the committee expected in view of the stringent time. Arrangement was made at this meeting for a Farmers' Union campaign in this State, to begin about July 1st. For the purpose of supplying an immediate need for disseminating Farmers' Union news, after the re organization of the State Union, the South Carolina Farmers' Union News Bureau was re-established in February last by the Executive Com mittee, which has been supplying this need until the April meeting, at which time our news bureau was discontinued in favor of "Farmers' Union Sun," a new farm paper to be published at Spartanburg by a joint stock comiMiny, by F. S. Parrott, of Gaffney, and other union men scat tered over the State.

Mr. Simms said that he did not consider that <he had done anything to apollgize for and refused to retract. Mr. Merrick in sisted, and then Kr. Simms called out to the court that he, an attorney, was being threatened by an officer: Judge Brawley cautioned both to he careful, and the matter was soon brushed over. . Fire u* Clemson College.
