FARMER'S UNION ORGANIZED IN THIS CITY ON LAST TUESDAY. The Meeting Was Largely Attended by the Farmers From All Over the County?Officers Elected. Tuesday morning the Farmers ?Union was organized in this city, ac cording to the call which was sent out last week, by Mr. L. L. Baker, member of the Executive Committee for this district. There were pres ent in the city several gentlemen Interested in this movement, among them being Mr. Parrott, represent ing the Farmers Union Sun, the pa per published in the interest of the movement, and State President B. Harris, of Pendleton. and others. The movement seems to have gained the favor of the farmers, for there were here to attend the or ganization quite a number of them from all sections of the county, and when the roll was called, only one or two of the local? were not repre sented. There were ? fifteen locals . represented at the meeting, and they ? all seemed to be very enthusiastic over the organization. Before the organization was he gun, President Harris made an ad dress; in which he talked of the Farmers Union Sun, which is pub lished every week in Commbia. He said that the farmers had no way of telling anything aboul the conditions of the cotton crop except through the dally press, and that these reports were always bearish. He said that what was needed wa smore enlight enment among the farmers, and that the journals devoted to their inter ests were the channels through which they should gain information. He said that it was to the Southern Cul tivator, a farm journal, that he ow ed much for a great lesson which he learned some twenty years ago. He did not believe much he saw until he saw the facts demonstrated, and then he came to the conclusion that it was his ignorance which was to blame, and that there was much to be learned in these special journals. At about 11:30 o'clock a motion was put which was to the effect tnat the organization be effected at the morning session, and that the ad dresses which were to be heard be put off until the afternon session, which convened at 2 o'clock. This was carried, and the organization ?was entered into. Addresses were made in the after noon by President Harris, Mr. Bak er, and Mr. S. D. Parrott, editor of the Farmers Union Sun. With the organization, of this un ion today the county now has about 300 members and there are about 25,000 members in the entire state, and 4,400,000 in this country. The following locals were repre sented by delegates: Canaan?M. F. Antely and M. K. Antley. Central?J. L. Punches, G. H. Ar rant, and .1. A. Arrant. * Cope?R. K. Henerey. H. C. Rit ter and J. C.

Alleged Agent of Detroit Scale Com pany on Trial at Orungeburg. J. T. Martn, charged with using the United States mails with inetnt to defraud, was given a hearing be fore United States Commissioner Robert Lide Tuecday The hearing was not concluded, and the defend ant was recommitted to jail in de fault of $1,000 bail. This case grew out of an alleged attempt on the part of Martin to de fraud Mr. G. M. Nobles, of Branch ville, by a scheme through which Mr. Nobles was to have become the South Carolina manager, of the Standard Computing Scales Company of De troit. Mich, Martin claiming that he had the authority to make such a contract. The consideration was to have been $500, but before the money was paid, Mr. Nobles com municated with the Detroit company and received the information that no such man as J. T. Martin had any connection with it; whereupon Mr. Nobles proceeded to turn the alleg ed swindlers over to the State au thorities. It seems, however, mat no case can be made against Martin under the State laws as the transac tion was not completed and he did not actually perform a fraudulent act, no matter what his intention might have been. But the Federal authorities are now pushing the case against Martin, as negotiations be tween him and Mr. Nobles were car ried on by mail, and Uncle Sam counts it a crime to use the mails even in an attempt to defraud. Another feature of the case is that Martin was identified severa* ldays ago by Mr. Cornelius ,1. Colcock, of Switzerland. S. C, who came to Or angeburg for the sole purpose of finding out whether or not Martin is the party who swindled a Mr. Mew, Mr. Colcock's father-in-law, in another part of the State several years ago, the scheme being siimlar to that which Mr. Nobles claims Mar tin attempted to work on him. Mar tin secured several hundred dollars from Mir. Mew and skipped, so says Mr. Colcock, who is positive that MarthT fs the man. although at the time of the Mew swindle he wetn by the name of Henderson and. curious as it may seem, the first person with whom Martin communicated after being lodged in jail was a Mrs. Hen derson, a telegram beln gsent to her at a Kentucky town. Martin, who has been in jail for more than a week, still maintains that he is innocent of any attempt' at wrong-doing, and that his connec tion with the Standard Computing Scale Company s genuine, the .com pany's repudiation to the contrary notwithstanding, but so far has fail ed to substantiate his statement with dny evidence of a documentary character. LEVER ISSUES LETTER. Urges Upon Voters of His District Importance of Registering. Congressman A. F. Lever has just issued the following letter urging the great importance of getting new registration tickets in compliance with the law: "I want to urge the people of the district the very great importance of each man seeing to it that he gets a registration certificate this year and before the registration books close. Each man who wishes to avail himself of the rights and privi leges of an elector must provide him self with a registration certificate. He cannot vote without it,# and no man can refuse to qualify himself to vote if the occasion arises when his vote is needed either to preserve white supremacy or to hold our re presentation in Congress. There is no 'jmore important matter before the people than this matter of reg istration. Do not neglect this! Very truly, "A. F. Lever. M. C. 7tb S. C." Executive Committee Meeting.

Several Items of News Picked Up Around That Place. The hack side walks are beginning to receive some attention at the hands of th Town Council. Judge D. i. Berry holds Court here every Friday and a few cases were' disposed of at each setting of the court. * T Messrs. David Wannamaker, Robt. Wannamaker and L. E. D., Felder, "Uncle L?rick" attended the re union last week. County Commissioner Edwins pro mises to bring the chain gang down here by the middle of September, thanks. Cotton picking will soon be in full blast and the small darkies will be in the fight once more again. The R. F. D. Carriers have been experieneing> some trying weather of late, but nevertheless the boys make their schedules daily on fairly good time. The streams around here are down to low wate? mark and thousands of the little toothsome pike are be ing caught, forcing the venders of mullet and other salt water fish to go way back and sit down for a while. There are some splendid fields of corn to be seen on R. F. D. Route No. 1. Why is it some would-be farmers continue to plant so much land in corn, when a few acres thoroughly prepared and will manure would produce so much more. Bowman with its surrounding country compares favorably in farm productions with any section in Or angeburg County. If any one doubts this assertion let him come: and see. Orangeburg County is j given up to be the banner county of this State. I The protracted meeting held at Ebenezer last week by Rev. G. W. Davis the pastor of this charge as sisted by Rev. S. W.

A second protracted service has been scheduled for Bowman com mencing on the last' Sunday in Au gust. Pastor Davis, will be assisted by the Danner brothers in these ser vices.

To My Fellow Democrats Of Or angeburg County: It has come to my knowledge that rumors and reports have been circulated all over the County that as Candidate for Sheriff l have made promises and bargains with a num ber of persons; that I have promis ed to appoint certain men as my de puties in case I am elected Sheriff. I have denounced those reports on the stump and I wish to say again that all such stories are absolutely false. I have made no such promis es. I regret to say "that by letters and otherwise it has been sought to con nect me and my race for Sheriff with Orangeburg City politics. In reply to |that I wish to assert most positively that I had nothing to do with the recent Dukes and Doyle race in the City of Orange burg and nothing to do with any re cent city politics. I do not live in the City of Orangeburg and nothing that has occurred in this town with-! in recent years had anything to do with my running for sheriff at this time. It has also been reported by let ters and otherwise that certain men who were said to be very bad fel lows have been canvassing the Coun ty for me and with me, and some times the statement, or insinuation has been made that I hired these men or arranged with them either by money or promises to work for me. Now this would be a violation of the criminal law of tne state, and I wish to denounce it as absolutely false. I have made this race on my part as free from dirt and mud sling ing as it could possibly be, and it is unnecessary for me to tell my friends that I have not stooped to nnything low or unmanly. I leave my race in the hands of the good people of Orangeburg County. A. M. SALLEY. A Curd. To my fellow Citizens of Orangeburg County: | ?Being a candidate in the political arena of our county for the humble position of Cotton Weigher at Or angeburg City, and not being able to see my friends in person, I take this .method through the kindness of Editor Sims to ask your suffrage in my behalf. You remember away back in the nineties when the Alliance and the Farmers movement nourished and bore fruit, I gave my time, energy and talent, to that cause. I labored with you then, and I am ready to work with you now. The farmers Alliance, in it's primitive purity, was a noble institution, for the bet terment of the tillers of the soil, but by inaction and careless indifference, it was allowed to lapse by the way side. But we hope some day to see it rise like Pheonix from her ashes and take its place among the indus trial institutions of the world. It has always been ray aira in life to do what good for the people that was in my power, and as you are aware, I have always used both voice and pen to that end, and now fellow citizens, I only ask a small favor of you, and that is to give me your support and influence at the approaching primary, I never did ask the people for any office before, and this may be my last venture in politics, and for that reason, I hope that my past record, will be sufficient to merit the confidence and trust of a patriotic people. I Remain, Your obiedient servant, John M. Berry. Orangeburg, S. C. Cain cd in Weight. Mr. Wm. R.

Lightfoot, Pastor of the Baptist Ciiurch, of this City, to the Rev. J. H. Sand ford. To my Fellow Citizens of Orange burg County: As is well known, I am naturally working actively for my father in his race for the office of Sheriff, and have used, and am using, every legi timate means to secure his success. In doing this, I approached, in writ ing and otherwise, a large number of our influential citizens, one of them being the Rev. E. M. Lightfoot, and asked them to support my fath er. Nearly all of them promised me that they would do so.* On June 6. 190S, I wrote several letters of varying contents to differ ent people; among them, one to the Rev. J. H. Sanford in behalf ofv.my father's intersts. Knowing that Rev. Sanford and Rev. Lightfoot were frequently thrown together in their work, and knowing that the Rev. Lightfoot was one of my father's supporters, I merely referred the Rev. Sanford to the Rev. Lightfoot in the hope that he also would be influenced to work for my father. This was my only purpose in referring Rev. Sanford to Rev. Lightfoot. I had no know ledge at all of what the Rev. Light foot would say to him. All that I ask of 'the citizens of Orangeburg County is that they be fair and impartial in passing on these things, and that both sides be given due consideration. Sincerely. W. HAMPTON DUKES. Orangeburg-, S. C, Aug. 20, 1908. To the Democratic Voters of Orange burg County: Copies of a letter ? written by me on July 27. 1 908, to the Rev. J. H. Sanford in the interest of the candi dacy of Mr. John H. Dukes for the office of Sheriff, have been distribut ed throughout the County by-certain of those opposing Mr. D?tes for the purpose of injuring him before the people in his candidacy. And I un derstand that the said letter is to he published in the newspapers. I take this means of declaring that I am solely responsible for that letter, and neither Mr. Dukes nor any other person had any knowledge of what its contents would he. . In writing the letter, I simply used my prerogative as a citizen of South Carolina to support whom I would for office. This right, no one ?will deny me. Respectfully, E. M. LIGHTFOOT. Pastor, Baptist Church. Orangeburg. S. C, August 20, 1908. To my Friends and Fellow Citizens: It has come to me that a letter written by the Rev. E. M. Lightfoot to the Rev. J. H. Sanford is being used by my opponents with intent to injure me in my race for Sheriff. As a straight-forward man, I assert that I knew nothing about the writing of this letter, and had no idea of its contents until a copy was shown nie a few days ago. I have conducted my campaign on a high plane, and have a"oided all personalities. Perhaps In their zeal for their re spective candidates the friends of hoth sides have errored.but I am sure that fair-minded men will not hold either candidate responsible for the voluntary acts and statements of others. And I ask that my friends hold me accountable for those things which I. myself, have done, and for those statements which' I, myself, have made and signed. I have no enmity for any one: and if re-elected Sheriff, I shall con tinue to serve the whole people. Faithfully yours. JOHN H{ DUKES. Orangeburg. S. C, Aug. 20. 190S. CAMPAIGN LIE NAILED. Rural Carrier Evans Exonerated by Mr. W. H. Dukes. To the Citizens of Orangeburg Coun ty: In June of this year, I wrbie a letter to Mr. J. C. Evans of Elloree asking him to support my father; Mr. John H. Dukes, for re-election to the office of Sheriff. Mr. Evans replying thereto, in a very manly and courteous manner, stated, in writing, that he on coming of age, had cast his first ballot for Mr. A. M. Salley; that since then he had always voted for my father, but that he had promised Mr. Salley to vote for him in the approaching primary and that if he had not made this promise, he would vote for my father again for the office of Sheriff. Upon receipt of this answer I immediately destroyed' it. Now some person has recently re ported Mr. Evans to the Civil Service Commission for taking "part in poli tics. I do not know who did this. But certain of those who arc oppos ing my rather have, for sinister pur poses widely circulated the report that this act was committed by me. I had nothing to do with it. and will do all that I can in discovering who did so. Mr. Evans is an honorable man. 1 have seen him and he tells me that he is satisfied that neither I nor any of my relatives reported or had any thing to do with reporting him to the Civil Service Commission and further that he endorses every word contained herein. Respectfully, W. HAMPTON DUKES. Oranfceburg, S. C. Aug. 18, 1908. Globe Tonic builds up and strength ens the entire system. COL. HENRY T. THOMPSON. Candidate for Adjt.
