While they are gratified in his promotion, his many friends in this section regret that Superintendeni R. E. Simpson, of the Southern, i; to be moved from Columbia. He goes to Asheville to take charge of th: LAheville disivision. Since he ha: been in Columbia in charge of thi Spartanburg division, he has mad hosts of warm friends throughoul his territory. That he has been sue eessful in the management of his di vision is shown by his weil-merited promotion. The Spartanburg and Columbia di visions have been consolidated, and Suptt H4nry AA Wlliams remains in Columbia in charge of these divis ions, his duties and responsibilities being almost doubled. Supt. Wil liams is so well known in N-ewber ry that there is little need to say that our people, while they regret tc lose Mr. Simpson, are pleased thai this division is to be again under Mr. iWilliams' control. Mr. William is always -courteous, and he is a thorough railroad man, whose meril has been' recognized and whose ser vices are appreciated by the road and its patrons. Hon. D. S. Henderson has an nounced his candidacy for the Unit ed States senate, to succeed Senatoi Latimer. The race promises to b2 interesting. The report of Mr. t MdComb, of Washington, in regard to the septic tanks, will be awaited with interest There is no doubt that something has been wrong with the tanks, and he is expected to suggest the remedy Farmer s Union Bureau of Information Conducted by the outh Carolina Farmers' Eduoa. tion-al and Co-Operation Union. gWCommunications intended fo'r this department should be addressed to J.

On account of ilhe state seeretary of the South Carolina Farmers' Un ion refusing to furnish a list of lo eals to this office, after -being in stracted to do so by te presideni and executive committee, this office has been compelled to publish in the press some things that should havg gone direct to the unionrs for theii * private consideration. Now having lists of locals and be ing otherwsie prepared t'o send in formation direct to locals, thus pub ting the, membership in pos4ession of the facts of both sides of differ enees. this office will in future send all subrosa statements direct to lo eals and trust teat no occasion will again come up that will require pub licity through the press of such un ion news as should be confined to the organization. Editor Farmers News Bureau. Our Farmers' Cotton Letter. Prices will advance just in pro portion to how farm-ers hold their cotton off the mnarekt. Reduce acreage~in cotton and plant zsnore Farmers' Unions and cowpeas. Good eraps of cowpeas will reduce acreage in cotton, make your land ri0h, reduce your fertilizer bills, s-upply forage for stock and grain for both man and beast, .and reduce labor bills. Plant plenty of Farmers' 'ons all over the country and these will -edmnate the farmers along the busi -nPw cide of threir farmi,g and pro vi'n an oroanized system of market irn at'on that will ensure good pro fite +n the farmer for his money crop cotton. The Hobb 's plan of distributing - your pay days over four or five months is a good one. It has been - the rule of many who buy on credit to commence getting in February and continue on over the whole sea son up to cotton pi'eking time pay ing about the same prices or pro fits for one month a.t the last as he did for the nin-e months, all due in November. Any huntsman in possession of the knowledge as to the location and ex act time where migratory game pass *out. has but to 1fake his position on the trail or driv? with ammunition and Owif and c-dinarv skill as 'o tTh aned of game falls to his. shar?. * S it is with the cotton speculator, he prepare.; him=elf for Lhe m -i ber harvest w 'ien foolish cotton growers have all made their bills payable which forces moie cotton i4 upon the market than spinners care a to take and then the game of cotton i bear is played for all it is worth, u and away goes all the profits that tY the simple farmer has labored hard s( to win for a long year's toil. r The remedy: Distribute payments SJ I of your bills over at least four a months by paying one third in No- ? vember, one third in January and s the balance in March. This distri- s bufion will relieve the rush of work and take away the *necessity of dumping so much cotton on the T market during October, November a and December. This will give more C time for sowing small grain and fall ploughing and remove the opportun ity for New York's panic riddan money market to control, by giving Ii cotton farmers time to warehouse c their cotton and defend their posi- r tions for demanding profitable pri- s ces by the use of their own cotton s for collateral for money. 1 1 Facing the Firing Line of the Farm- t ers Union. Doing one's duty as a committee man on the good of the order is any thing else but a pleasant position at times. It is a pleasure of course to gather in information that will bring money profits to the members or con tribute to the general well-fare of the union when this can be done without bringing some officer or member of the unioa to a halt, that has stepped over the firring line without giving the pass word or counter sign, which is equity and justice to all. Each Iember his pri vileges and place, so each officer is a ruler in his sphere, each is sub ject to limitation. The range of each officer's power is prescribed by the constitution, yet witthin that range each is most emphatically a ruler. But when an officer of the union over steps the firing line and is becoming a transgresser by intrud ing upon the fun'ctions of another brother's office, then and' there %it becomes the unpleasant duty of the one who is facing the firing line to halt the brother and demand the counter sign or turn him back. Just so sure' as you step upon a snake's tail and he will turn his mouth upon you, just so sure as you call one of your topheavy meinbers g to a halt he will also turn loose his U mouth upon the man that does it. This is the place where many cow-. ardly members waver and faii to do u their duty. instead of coming right out. with tihe plain truth and honest plain talk, they seem to think it pru- I dent to go whispering around the c truth in a kind of speak easy fasha b ion for fear of losing the friendship 1, of this fellow or injuring the union. t Now if telling . the plain truth v turns a false ,fi-iend into an open 'enemy or does harm to an organiza- e SANTA IS MAKING HiS HE Anderson I Here you will find the from in Toys, Dolls, D Drums, Horns, Chimes terns Christmas Bells an for Christmas.
