Our ?ndeisou County Farmers' Un ion brethren aro a thorough-going, lively! substantial and good looking set of farmers. See to it that every County in the Stato strives to send even a botter representative body than Anderson does. Anderson County Union men can take care of a large delegation from the State, and no doubt a large delegation from every County in tho State will make a fine show and impression ior the good of the organi zation in ' a Way; but for woodwork in organizing a State Union aad, espe cially formulating rules, constitution and by-laway ust a few"of the best businessmen in each County is a bet ter working force than a largo number of rattling, floundering position hunt ers. ' Don't forget that cliques, caucusses and wirepullers are the prime disinte grating mills that grind down tho strength of any organization. When you leave home for the State Union prepare yourselves with your best resolutions ' for the good of all Union men, and at the same time pre paro your temper to receive defeat like a man with lots of manhood about him; then it will bo easy for you to live up with the majority for good to all. - ?m m m - The South Carolina branch of the Farmers' Educational and Co-opera tive Union's maia objects are to teach farmers that one good farmer in any* community is a power for good, and that two good farmers united have double the power for good that ono farmer has, and that 100 farmers united for good has 100 times more power than 100 farmer.*; not banded together, and when you.extend, this calculation tc , half a million or more good Southe^ farmers you not only have a powerful organization to teach Southern farmers how to produc? profitable crops, but you have in this santo organization the wisdom and knowledge as to. what would be equitable prices for ; our a*ntk?n J_ - - J - - 1_A.1 CSUlSCTu intiu <w? <J?, ?> DUU QI BU IUO power to nia^e those prices on our own products and get iL The Farmers' Union teaches tho farmer how to turn .he prouts of bis labor- into "the pro ducers' hands 'by protecting each oth er's interest through organized efforts* We teach the doctrine of equity and fair dealing in everything; we put fprth the principles of fairness in nil things aa our first offerings, and when' fairness ia not accepted by our oppon-. enta we then propose to enter the arena of the cotton trade with a powerful horned cotton bull that has trie power to toss any cotton bear over the hurdle fence. " ' ' K Our State Farmers' Institute, c -, We would like to remind all farm ers' organizations, aa well w every in di v id u al j or u nor? au ize d f ar m e r | in South Carolina, of the fact that these farmers' institutes held in, different aect??nBof the State, as well as the' Stato Formers' Institute held annually., about August at Clemson; are becom ing of more and more interest to farm ers eaeh year; tho profi ls to farmers derived from intelligent, practical and scientific discussions ata?eseInstitq tiona upon the.i evory-d->-subj octa of farm life and form topics in taking hold upon the minda of the more pro grtasife farmers of the State, '.?1V1V.

This industry is, there- t] fore, ono of the leading industries of v thc country. It bas made the Central a Non h western States enormously rich, v and has added greatly to thc aggregate i wealth of tho nation. Au investiga- j tiou into thc subject brought my atteu- 'j tton to the fact that in (.ho Soutb ibero y was practically no development in this | industry iu the last fifty years. | It appears from figures that tbo , South must buy from Norther? and ( Western markets each yoar over 150, 000,000 pounds of butter, 03,000,000 j pounds of ohecoo and millions of gal- , loos of milk. A conservative estimate shows that tho Southern States are annually contributing to markets oth er . than their own tho enormous sum of ?38,000,000 for butter and cheese alone, produots which we have every reason to believe oan bo raised at homo. Thore oan be no good reason given why the dairy industry Cannot bo built up ? in the S DU th. We have every natural advantage in the mildness of our cli mate and in tho oapaoity of our soil to yield largo forage orops, and the rapid ly increasing population of our cities, the growth of our manufacturing inter ests will consumo for many years the entire products of oar dairy farm. It seems thal tho i time is opportune for launching this industry among our people, especially when we take into consideration this increasing demand for dairy produots. . ? understand the plan of the depart ment is to employ a number of. dairy experts who will work io oo-operation with the Stato experiment stations and with individual dairymen. They will furnish to dairymen the cheapest and best plans for the construction and er?otioo of silos; they will teaoh him the most economic methods of feeding sod show him the value of bord soleo oo; they will point out to him thc !8t methods of manufacturing, band og and marketing of bis products, id put him in touoh with the best arkets for the sale of the products, hey will visit every dairyman iu tho mth when requested and investigate io conditions and peculiar problems each establishment and olTer such ingestions aud advice for improve cut as bis experience has given bim. 'hat our peoplo need most to make io dairy business a sucoess is expert formation. Thia they have not had id this it is that this appropriation , ould give to them. I am confident lat on intelligent, aggressive, cam ;iign along these lines will succeed, here oin bc no reason for a failure? \To should so far develop this indus ry as to at least supply our homo mor els with their demand for dairy pro ucts. If wo eau do this wc have sav d to our people millions of dollars, tub this is not all, if we ean lay the oundation for tho building up of a uooes?f ul dairy industry in the South, re will eave to ourselves millions in he way of fertiliser bills and add iii Ho na to the value of our farm iuds, whoso fertility will be enor mously increased by the development f this industry.-News and Courier* A Miraculous Encapo.
