PRESIDENT HARRIS SPEAKS. - At Farmers' Union Barbecuo at Po- < maria?Good Advice to Farmers. o The Pomaria Farmers' union held a i, meeting last Saturday, ana enjoyed a 0 barbecue dinner at Bethel Academy. 1 t Mr. B. Harris, President of the State < 1 Farmers' union was present and < spoke to the farmers. After dinner J - an address was delivered by Mr. Me- I r haiTfey. Mr. Harris was introduced < 3 bv Mr. Wedaman, secretary of the I i" Pomar.ia union. ? 1 i Mr. Harris spoke on those ques- 1 - tions which interest the farmer, lie ' said that this year especially, there i ^ was much speaking in all parts of the t - country by men, who wore asking the 1 > farmers to do something for them. 1 He did not ask anything for himself. 1 I but he hoped to say something and do 1 I something which would be of benel fit to I lie farmers. He snid he was a boy during the war and had no 1 1 chance to secure an citueation, and 1 3 therefore made no pretense at ora- ? t tory, but he felt he had a message 1 which he was compelled to deliver to ( " the farmers of his State, and that if ^ I he failed in doing so, he would be held lo account for such failure t Mr. Harris said he had three planks in his platform, which he thought 1 were broad enough and strong enouuh lo hold any irsn. His first ' plank was organization. His second ' plank vas cooperation, and his third 1 plank was diversification of crops, lie said every farmer should and 1 } c-nlil make Itis home soT sustaining, i ] and that lie ought to have done so j1 forty years ago, and he was son y |( that he had to at this dav, plead for. * E it Mr. Harris said that there w?;: f nothing that confronted the farmers ' ' today, which should interest them ( ' more, than the Fanners' Cooperative F ' and Kdueat ional Union. It embodied ' everything, and he hoped Hint those present had come lo ti-e mooting with f 1 a purpose, and if they had, they ' " would be benefited, but if Ihev had " come simply to get a good barbecue 1 ' dinner they would receive but little ' 1 benefit. ' } Few men know wlrnt organization " is, and what it will do. Tf we had \ ' grasped the power of organisation for- 1 ty years ago, we would have been ^ kings today instead of slaves as we ' are. Organization has given power * lo those oil (he other side. We have ( in the southland, tIio grandest conn- ' f . ( try on earth and still the farmers are ^ living in poverty and slavery. The ' trouble is with the farmer himself, ' and the blame should fall where it is. So long as the farmer blames somet body else for what lie should do him- 1 self, conditions will ?or change. Mr. Harris said if he were lo ask ^ T any one present what he is going to . get for his cotton he would say he ' did not know. Aren't you the biggest fools in the world, producing a product which the world has got to have, and of which you have a inons j opolv without knowing what you are ' going lo get for it ? If you had stu | died your business as boot blacks do, " I you would be getting fwenly-five 'cents per pound for your cotton lo^ . day. The boot black knows what he i is ii'oing to ire! for shining your shoes before lie begins, and you go on producing the greatest staple in the j world, without knowing what if costs you tor it and what you are.going to j get for it. . j The Farmers' Union during the i past four years lias saved to the ; South and the cotton producer $17.50 j per bale, which amounts to about ' eighty million dollars added to. the i wealth of South Carolina in four years. The Farmers' Union lias adj ded tin's. Can you sec any benefit ? i The farmers are improving their i homes, educating tlion* cfiildren, and ' 1 even the panic which came last fall i I (lid not hurt Hie people it was intend' cd to hurt'. j Mr. Harris gave several illustra| | lions to show that when tl>e price was ! fixed at fifteen cents it: was not too high, and if the farmciv would only organize, Ihev could secure any reasonabl price they would ask. Capital > had been the cause of every labor or> ganization in the world. Organizai it on was necessary in order to self protection, and self preservation. We , should all endeavor to make the world t better. You are either making it better or worse. There is no such tiling as standing still. We should not only organize, but we should cooperate Mr. Harris stated that we could raise corn in this Stare nr forty cents . per bushel, and a great many farmf ers today are paying over $1.00 per t bushel. We can grow flour at $5.50 , per barrel, and mules to three years old at one hundred dollars. He said that a mule could be grown to three I years on one acre of land, and fifty j dollars could he saved above the cost I [ of the mule. He advised the holding of cotton NEWBERRY AND WHITMIRE.

So, invited by Rev. 1). P. 3oyd, pastor Kinards circuit, T went >n Monday, 20th inst., to direct a erics of services to be continued unil Friday morning at our Methodist lunch called Sharon r>ght at the >1 al ion. For some reason (lie attendance at lie morning services was very limitld. however a I nigh I the number was aige. Our old method of calling up o the altar was not used but a di ecl effort made to instruct the learers in Gospel truths and inspire o.a life of true piet.v. The interest vas very good from the first and crew from day to day. In the closing service many declared the benefit and help tlioy had received from he preached word. Mrs. Dr. Evans, he leader in every good work in this >hurch, was too unwell to attend rt'hich was regretted by all. Miss ^arrie Ruford, of Hush River congregation, was present for one night o help with the music and Miss Magrie Speake" rendered a like service. One morning I had the pleasure of a i'isit to the Garys who were constant ittendants at the services, aiuf also o (he old Smith homo where we round I lie lady of (he house sick in >od. With prayer and a few words of dicer we went our way. The Kinirds charge has not a large number >f members but they are quite liber>1.

Pet Royd, <> well known in this entire county, s a devoted worker, a man of a fine P'rit and a good leader, lie is now losinji up his second year on this !t?>rge end wauls none of these 'station preachers" to bother him or the next two years?so lie says. W AfolhocTiMf system for pastoral uppl.v is the hest ever devised foiling every preacher a charge and 'vkr.v church a pastor, but if involves he contingency of frequent changes. T was entertained ar that place of hospitality a Methodist parsonage ?but had the pleasure of a nice din10r ;'t the house of Mr. faither RoozFva Oxner served us n eautiful tea. The opportunity to orm some new friendships as of Mr. r- A. Doininick and his excellent 1 'fe,,ln/l "'hers and to do some good n Christ's name were some of the vents of (|,e visit to Kinards and to >haron church. lecause he was satisfied the price ?P, but if the man who was loldmg cotton, owed mone\ on i(, ind could not make satisfactorv arrangements with Us creditors', he should sell it and pay his obligation. Mr. Harris urged that the only va.v fur the farmer in South Carolina o feel independent and to occupy a msi I ion where he could fix tlhe price >f hi$ cotton was by organization and ooperaiion. and the raising on the farm of those things necessary to nstain (lie fanner. That the brain nust be put (<> work in connectioi; tvith the muscle. \\ e are sorry we cannot give a noro extended report of the most ex cllent advice given by Mr. Harris ind we are satisfied what he did say will do much good. SUNDAY AT THE LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER. Rev. Edward Fulenwider, Pastor. In spite of the hot weather the church of the Redeemer enjoyed a fine day Sunday. A splendid congregation attended the morning service. The pastor preached a plain, practical sermon, dealing with questions of supreme interest to every human sonl today, from the text, Matt. 5:20: "Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case, enter into the Kingdom of heaven.'' It was shown that (lie Scribes and Pharisees were not the mean, low, and contemptible class as sometimes represented, 'but that they are, the best people of their age, and certainly the most intensely religious. Then these words of Christ must have come like a thunderclap from a clear sky to those who heard him. Tf the Scribes and Pharisees could not enter the Kingdom of heaven, who then could ever hope to be saved? "The things which arc impossible with men are possible with Clod." These Scribes and Pharisees were the great teachers of the Jewish natron. One thing that they taught with earn and earnestness was the coming of a glorious kingdom, but their manner of life was insufficient for entrance Info that kingdom, which was the hope of the nation, and inspired its most beautiful songs and sublimest anticipations. The savior does not condemn their belief in such a kingdom, and their hope of entering if, yut lie criticises their teachings concerning the qualifications for entrance into it. 1. Some of the defects of the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees. (a) Its shallowness: Thev prided themselves in keeping the commandments, but they were keeping the letter of the commandments and not the spirit of them. The Savior shows that they were not even keeping t he .">th commandment ?"Thou shall not kill," which is the ' easiest of all to keep. Tt was shown here that the same shallow interpretation is being given (Sod's laws today, and that the commandments of Clod are being broken at a fearful rate by this Christian nation. Hence, the importance of taking the Savior's words to heart, etc. Tt divorced the two sides of tru<* religion: Man lias a body and a soul, both are very important, but neither bv itself constitutes man. They must be joined together to have a true man as we know him. Religion has a body and a spirit, and these must be united to have true religion. The Pharisees divorced these, their religion became all body and no spirit?hence it was an offensive corpse. They laid all these on fhe negative side of religion and neglected the positive side. Refined from sins of commission, but not sins of omission. A man was rood not because of doing good, but because of refraining from evil. "But there must be both sides to have the j true religion, James 1:27: "Pure religion and undefiled before flod and j fhe father is this, fo visit the fathcrj less and widows in their affliction, j | and fo keeo himself unspotted from! , the world." (c) Tfs self-sufficiency: j Depended upon its own merits for ( j entrance info (lie kingdom of heaven, j Put Rom. :20 says: "P.v the deeds ] I of (he law shall no flesh be justified." /2. The righteousness to which , tlie kingdoiruof heaven is open, or the righteousness which avails with flod. ! The kingdom of heaven is open to j all who come in (he right way. J Jesus Christ is i?.e right way, and j jonlv way: John 1-1:0: "f am the way. jtlie truth, and the life: no mar,: I cometh unto the Father, but by me."L | The necessity, then, of becoming re- i i conciled fo Christ and his wavs.? Not j only to Christ and his ways, but also i to ( hristians. A man that goes about ' jwith jealousy, and enmity in his heart I is no fit subject for the kingdom of I (Sod. etc. The righteousness to j which heaven is open is not mine nor (yours, but fhe righteousness of flod in Christ Jesus, imputed to us by flod ! through failh in Christ, etc. (1 At this service one member was added to the church by letter. The i music, was splendid. The Sunday school has not gone into summer quarters, but under I lie earnest and devoted management or T)r. Cromer, and his band of faithful, and efficient teachers is doing a fine work. The pastor's Bible class now numbers HO, and is still growing. Tf any of those grown-up boys and girls, 1 who think thev have received their 1 diplomas from the Sunday school, and have quit, will come to flic class j they will find (hat there is much j < even for a graduate to learn from I fl-od's old book. At the close of the service the con-' gregation kindly voted (heir pastor? I a vacation of one month to bo tal^Hj at his pleasure. Hi At night a large congregation ga^^B > ored for the union service.
