hThe State meeting of the Farmers
Union called to meet at Greenwood
he 25th, 26th, 27th of July. begins
look like it is 'oing to be a grand
ral and red letter day for repres
enta 've farmers~of the State.
0. Pile, of Texas, Ben F. Griffin.
of Arkalpsas, and R. F. Duckworth, of
Georgia, ag-e to have a talk to the far
mers organization at the Greenwood
meeting, and'v*q take this opportuni
ty to put Greeiwood on notice to
spread herself. And make room, for
the signs are right for something do
ing at Greenwood at this July meet
ing of the farmers.
The speaking at Greenwood will be
public and eveLrybodv is-invited to at
tend. A special invitation is extend
ed .o the yet unorganized class of
farmers.
Whether delegates or not, we' urge
it as a duty to all Farmers' Union
men to.attend this Greenwood meet
ing. New delegates have equal rights
with delegates to the floor, but none
save regular delegates can vote at
this meeting.
Begin now to prepare yourselves to
put the right men in the right places
at the coming meeting. For your
success or failure depends upon this.
Vote for no man for the poor reason
that he is your fiiend or comes from
your section. Don't try to stop a two
inch hole with a half-inche peg, nor
try to trot out a ten-cent man to do
a dollar job. Vote for the right man
for the place every time.
Announcement.
The editor of this Bureau is going
to make an effort to attend as many
of the South Carolina Farmers Insti
tutes this summer as possible. and
will be delighted to meet and talk
with the progressive element of the
farming fraternity at these meetings.
Not with a view of teaching progres
sive farmers how to farm, but we are
out to learn what our up-to-date far
mers are doing and how they do it,
sthat I may tell others about it as
e pass around among them. If you
hink our Farmers' Bureau is on the
ht track give us a few encouraging,
-ords and if you think we are wrong
any way, point out the facts'.and
we will thank y'ou.
No Doubt About This. ..
~It is'the want oT -:ill, not the want
of'power that makes the farmer yield
tamely to graft and greed.
Does your Farmers' Union local be
gin to look like la last years bird nest i'
If so fire it before insects and spiderj
webs cover it. sThen go to work and
organize a new one and ke'ep it as
lively and hot as a hornet nest in Au
gust.
~After analyzing all the more eon
servative and intelligent estimates
of the cost of the present crop of cot
7ton at hand, this bureau can assure
the growers that this crop of cotton
will cost much more per acre to grow
than was ever known before. The ex
-tensive replanting with very costly
seed, the cold wet grassy weather.
with bad stands and costly labor com
bine to make the cost per acre alarm
ingly heayy. Just here it is well for
our pricing .conventions to weigh care
fully all these important factors of
cost~ of production before their pegs
are driven down at the figures for
this crop.
Take Your Choice.
The rich have the most meat. the
poor the best appetite. The rich lay
the softest; the poor sleep the sound
est. The poor have health. the rich
have delicacies. The rich kill them
selves~ through fear of poverty; the
poor laugh and sing, and Aove their
families too well to put the light out
of their own life.
Tom Watson is Coming.
You hear that -rumbling noise in the
elements about the Farmers' Union?
Well that is a warni~ng that a storm
is coming to this state in July; for
Tom Watson is booked to add.ress the
S a e Yarmers' Union at Greenwood,
.C.. at 11 a. mn. Thursday July 25.
Look out now for some home made
prophe to hop up. An article in
the newspapers about the danger
ahead by farmers' organizations go
ing into politics, as though farmers
were dangerous and it was the duty
of farmers to -do the voting only
whilst others direct them how to cast
their vote.
Ever Think About This?
That when the farmer names his
price for his products that give him a
reasonable profit, that the farmer
as about the same right to know how
ueh money the purchacer has in his
eket to pay for the farmers cotton.
the buyer has to know how much
otton the farmer ha in M ware
ouse.
If buyers rea-on that the': ius
nave cottou cheaper because farier,
have made better erops. then. farm
ers must demand more money for hi
cotton because the buyers have mad
better profits out of the cotton tha
the farmer who made the cotton! Fai
iers are to blame for this state of af
fairs., it is not the men that take th
profits.
Cotton warehouses may concro
the supply of cotton to suit the de
mand, just the same as the mone.
vaults hand out the proper amount o
money to satisfy the demand by cot
ton. Cotton will keep about as long
in a good warehouse as money wil
keep in a bank. Money may bi
said to have little or no intrinsic val
ue and its current trade value is lim
ited: while cotton's intrinsic value i
ree-anized the world over and wil
continue to be a current article :
tr7ade in all countries so long as babie4
are born naked.
