Tbs following resolution was unani mously adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of tho State Farmers1 Union be returned to the daily and weekly papers of the State for tho column devoted to the bureau of information edited by J. C, Striming, of Pendleton. Farmers' Union Cotton Warehouse Plans Clay Floor, Kollow Cernea*. Block Walls. The following is gotten np upon the very simplest and cheapest plans for the nie of co-operative Unions. This plan is for one seotion, to which may be added as many more sections at ames as may be required to accom modate the needs of the Union. Walls 100 feet long; 12 feet tall at high end, 8 feet tall at lowex end; space between walls,60 feet. Excava tions should he dug out to firm ground or clay (if in a clay territory,) well ditched and drained all round, good clay floor well beaten down. Aa the cost of material in founda tions varies in different places our es timate for cement walla aro taken from about the floor line. Parapet wall may be required by in surance companies where more than one section are pnt np together, but these walls above the roof are of no benefit in the way of protection from fire on a one section cotton ware house. Estimates given here ore for 10-inch hollow block for foundations and S-iuch block for walls, and all other material '.hat farmers do not usually have on their farms. A!! labor, sand for cement blocks sad the nine 10-inch round posts to rest girders on through the middle of the room, are to be aopplied by the farmers. This style of cotton warehouse will hold about 400 bales to each section. Two round poles, 10 inches in diame ter, should be placed under each row of bales to prevest eapi?ery attraction of moisture there at any time. Remember this, that if lower ends of bales are wet or moist when stored. that in all eases this lower end will be damaged more or less, it matters not what kind oi AO?T it rests vu. MATERIAL FOR ONE SECTION. 25 barrels Portland Cement, 100 cubit yards of sand, 18 girders 8x12x20. 208 rafters 2x5x18, 4 sills 4x0x25-these may be round ; around post 10 inches diameter, 4 perlines 2x4x25, 50 plank 1x12x8,51 Btrnpslx4x8. 50plank 1x12x12, 51 straps 1x4x12, 5,000 te ct sheeting. Total amount sawed lumber 11,000 feet. At $1.50 per 100 feot.$105 10 25 barrels cement at $1.80. 45 00 Nails estimated. 3 80 51 squares V crimp iron roofing at $2.50 per squaro. 127 50 One two-hand Hollow Block ce ment machine. 75 00 Estimated freight on machine.. 4 00 Total cost of bought material.$420 40 This cement machine may be sold for 950 when throng.", with-credit..$ 50 00 Net cost of bought material....f870 40 . Thus it is made plain to all Union men that by clubbing together they may put up the cash $870.00 for the bought material and do all the work, making the cement blocks and putting up their pwn warehouses with their own labor by the co-oporntivo p'en, and have their warehouses ready for this crop, if they will go at it when through working crops. - For leso money than it takes to pay for a good pair of mules farmers may go to work in a neighborly way and put np their own fortifications now and get well entrenched ready for tho fight ing that is sure to come this fall to foreo cotton farmers to turn Ioo?e their cotton at prices that have nlwos , made all others rich that handled cotton ex cepting tho men who toil most of alKo produce this cotton. If this warehouse movement among cotton growers pro greases in gaining strength and confidence among cotton producers as time passes, as it is now doing, we look for several thousand of these co-operative warehouses to be put up thin summer. When cotton producers get a great cbr.in of these warehouses linked to gether in all the cotton States in bond ed form and produce their own farm supplies, this concert of action in a business way will place this whole cot ton proposition upon a firm foundation and insure continued prosperity, not only to cotton growers, but lt will also bring prosperity to every industry in the South. There is nbthlng new in this art of making artificial ssone or cement blocks by properly mixing sand and cement. This art is about as old as the country. But the recent improve mente in.the manufacturing and con sequent cheapening of the cost of ce ment and the machinery for forming these hollow blockB hos reduced the cost of this building material to snob an extent that it now look o like we aro into what might be called the cement or concrete age. These small hand power machines, . weighing from 400 pounds up and cost ing from $50.00 np," may be sot up at any convenient place, and by follow ing the instructions sent out with these machines most ?ny intelligent man can make these hollow blocks and put up these warehouse walls. Any further information on this ware hon se subject may be had by any Union men that will address this bu reau and stamped envelope xor reply. * ?TATE NEWS. - Kdge?old had a fi ru with a loss of $16,000. - A rural carrier in Sumter County makes his rounds in an automobile. - Tho dispensary investigating committee is said to he running short of funds. - In tho annual adjustment of salarios of the postmasters in South Carolina no chango was mad<3 in any of the principal officco. - The Newberry Observer has is sued an interesting illustrated indus trial edition, showing tho resouroes i and advantages of Newberry. - James H.
