FARMERS' UNION BUREAU Ic ?Conductep by the? bouth Carolina Farmers' Educational and ^Jo-Oporation Union. 8@y?Communications intended for this department should be addressed to J. C Stribling, Pendleton, S. C. Why is it (hat cotton and other ftcld crops not grow well mixed in the same row? Because (lie cotton crop mortgages and guano notes cover tne whole field the shade of which stunts all other crops! J Cot ton hears, take notice, that 300 students have been recently returned to their homes from Celtnson Agricultural col logo for the season. Will this cause an over-production of cotton hi K. II' so we trust (hat these I, boys will hold (his over-production for (he fanners' I nion ininiinuni 1?ri| cos. I'.iieouiajie and aid in (he building ^ of bonded col (on waerhouses but a\oid the bonded cot (on crop as you (would tile black plague. Anderson County Union has pledged themselves to hold (heir cotton indefinitely lor ]:>(! and to make an other cut ol. at least three acres to the r mule and urges all other cotton far| mei's to join (hem in (his brave slrug| gle for justice by fighting (he devil with fire and never let go your cotton which is (he only weapon you B have to fight with. V The Ring of the True Metal. This voice from a good solid FarI mers' Union member has in i( a ring w ot.' (he (rue metal. At a strong county Farmers' Union meeting a few days back, the question of releasing a member from his obligation to hold \is cotton for (lie r minimum of 1.1 cents was up for discission when, one of (lie "old war * horses" ol that class of plain living and high thinking farmers got the floor and made the fur fly (hick and' fast?who said in part as follows:? Brethren remember that when you break ranks by selling cotton for less * than the minimum price when you are not absolutely obliged to do so, that you are soiling out your faith in yourself and brethren as well as your personal character and reputation of the most powerful organization of far> mers (hat has ever existed. You are selling out all your trophies of victory that you have gained by hard fighting and privation in a successful campaign of the last three years. And more; you may be selling out the freedom and liberty of your pos* ferity by your continuation of lamely shrinking away to the rear from (he very aggressive forward inarch of j combines that are organized to oppress the farmer. If your condition is so that you I cannot arrange lo hold cot (on longer, you have made (he mistake in trying to hold cotton (hat did not be^ long to you. 1 congratulate you on your grit and stiff back bone, but I doubt your wisdom in trying to hold ?down a bale of cotton with only the sweat and hard labor of las( summer pitted against (he hard cash that the other man put into your cotton. The wear of time, winter rains, sleet or snow has a tendency! of ade away your claim of hard labor and sweal while ^ the good ink on papers you gave to the other fellow for his dollars in your cotton refuse to fade ou(. Moral, i. raise some cotton of your own and I quit being a slave to debt and King Cot I on. "These are times of storm and stress wh' i men's hearts fail them for fear.'' Producers of cotton and the buyers and organized speculators in cotton are living in war relations. No great victory was ever won K without a corresponding hard fought [ 'battle. The leading members of the Farmer's Cnion who are now out facing the f'ircing line or in (ho thick of the storm of combinations against or1 ganixed' farmers arc fTie targets for (lie enemies shots as well as the fire from their own ranks. The most abus& cd men in the union are the ones (hat * are doing (he most hard work and sending hot shot into our enemy's lines Iluii count for something. ''When you see a person barking ill ami abnsig those possessed' of influence. you may know that like a dog at the foot of a (roe, he barks because lie cannot climb." The Fanner's Union is a straight out organized body of farmers who . are up against all that class who are organized (o pull the farmer. When farmers organizations have raised' lite lid off that held down priJS ces on his products then money will B be plentiful in the country. r When there is money coming into the farmers pocket freely then all others who arc dependent upon the farmer for patronage will get good trade. K If the farmer has no profit in liig I business, he has no money to spend. W ho is it that smiles at you \vh cotton is low, and looks serious \vh prices are soaring1 high? Wat eh out now for friends and f< the enemies of the farmers movcmo are now very bold; but when tilings the farmer's way it is hard to tell w is your friend or who is really yo enemies. The membership of the Farnu Union has now reached two milli lour hundred thousand. What a po er for good. Plant More Cow Peas. Whilst you sleep the cow pea er is bringing down nitrogen (the co; liest ingredient of fertilizers) fr< the air. The nitrogen bought in fertili> sacks is drawing interest whilst y sleej). Vour cotton crop sends you to toi for fertilizers and hay, whilst I lie p crop grows liny ;il home and stoi fertilizer in the soil without cost 1 hauling or application. Il'eavy rains often leach out t costly soluble properties of a hi grade fertilizer (hat costs .$20 per U whilst the pea crop is growing $20 ton hay and $1(1 worth of ferlilij to the acre. These costly commercial fertilise force your cotton crop on the marl whether prices are bail' or good, whi the pea crop supplies food for b'< man and beast whilst your wait I better prices for cotton. South and Wester:- and Southern. "Washington, April 1:5.?Mr. W. 1 Finley, president of ,the S'oyj'the Railway, was ask en' today regard I the dispatches which have appeal in the papers concerning a report controversy between the South a Western Railroad and the Soutlu Railway. lie stated that the Si>ni ern Railway was not endeavoring prevent the construction and comp lion of I lie Smith and Western R;i road: that the relations of the mr agvinents of (he two companies ha been entirely amiable. The Soi and Western line is being construct contiguous to the line of the Soui ern Railway at a point- in North Ci olina. and (here it developed 1: week that the engineers in the cmpl of the South and Western were ci dueling (heir operations in disrega of the rights of the Southern Rn way. encroaching upon its proper and even, by blasting, inlerrupli Ira Hie and putting the Southern li tem])orarily out of operation. To pi vent these 'encroachments and eomj (he conduct of the work in an ord'< ly way the Southern Railway Co patty lias obtained an injuncli against the continuance of the speei and purely local wrongs which it 1 sustained. It is hoped that the cc troversy will be promptly disposed RABBITS FOOT MA.DE GOOD, Fat Engineer Narrates Story of t Working of the Charm. "A good, clever rabbit's foot, 1 hind," said the fat engineer, accoi ing to the New York Sun, "one 11 is always on the .job. is a great boi Now T have one that 1 always cat in mv inside jumper pocket. I i over a rabbit one day 'n' in the ! ohoppin' process its left hinu leg v tossed Hi rough lite cab window rn into my lap. Of course it would' be 1 much like tcmptin' fate to let a ge thing like that get by. ' n' 1 've carr it with 'n,-> on my runs ever since. ''The other day 1 stopped at I .junction for water with the Daylij. Iv\ press. The boys at the roundhoi down there got to lltrowin' a josh to me about my rabbit's foot prof tor.

'' 'Well,' I says, 'yon can josh as much as you like, but 1 'm frank admit thai T wouldn't like to go r on (lie road for a trip without i hunch in my pocket.' "Then Ihev all had to have a lr at it. After Ihev had passed around it was time for our train leave, 'n' T carelessly stuffed i( in I outside pocket of my jumper. 1 v in such a hurry. "I had a heavy train, hut we w< right on time, so I didn't mind inn as the I:?'J7 was workin' her dainli 'n' we ploughed along just like an yachl before a fortv-niile gale. f!o round the Ten Degree Curve the 1.' slipped 'n' hobbled' for a second 1 a fat man steppin' on a banana pee eased her off wit it (he throttle n 1 stiekin' toy head oul of I he cab w dow to see what caused the unstea ness on the part of the 1327. A< did the locomotive gave a little lui 'n' I felt my rabbit's foot si id in* ( of my jumper pocket. T ma<Te a gi at it, but T didn't come with a fi of it. Tt laiufed on a little ledge the runnin' board just outside I cab. I loaned out of th? window Iget it. Some mysterious influence en seemod to be workin' against my en ( reach in' that rabbit's foot.

However, 1 firmly made up ho my mind I wasn't go in' to lose my 'ur rabbit's foot guardian angel in that fashion. So I put on (lie air. As the jrs 11 rniii came to a stop 1 dropped from on the runnin' board 'n' dusted back afw fer my good luck piece. As soon as the train stopped a natural curiosity rose in tin; minus of the passangcrs op 'n' ^1G ^la^n crew fts to what was the mailer. Jim Spratt, the conductor, >m 11,0 wliiit was up 'n' 1 just told him thai I dropped something of considerable value 'm' had stopped to' 'Ll pick it up. A fresh mi v in one of t!ie !
