ICTION TAKEN BY THE FARMERS STATE UNION WISHES REPEAL OF THE LIEN LAW. Ask the General Assembly to Amend Duties of Commissioner of Agriculture, Etc. The South Carolina State Farmer-: union -had an all-day session Tbnrs -day says the State. A large numbet of delegates and visitors were present -considerably more than on the opening night. President 3. Harris announced that Mr. C. S. Barrett, the national presi dent, could not attend as he had ex peeted, and then called for the re ports of committees. These reports were all interesting and some of them far-reaching. Possibly the most important report was that of the legislative committee. This committee recommended that the immigration feature be eliminated from the State's bureau of agricul ture, commerce and immigration. The repeal of the lien law was indorsed; also the repeal of the law with refer enoe to chattel mortgages on crops. The Audubon society was commended and the legislature urged to pass ad ditional laws to protect insect-de stroying birds. The legislative committee was then instrieted to appear before the proper committtee of the house and senate and press the matters referred to. The members of this committee are L. L. Baker, J. B. Douthit and S. J. Sum mers. During the afternoon Hon. E. D. Smith came in and the rules were sus pended and he was extended the cour tesy of the floor for a few minutes. Mr. Smith addressed the convention in his characteristic manner. He stat ed that he had had in his application for membership in the union, but that he had failed to make connee tion with the meetings. After his ad I dress Mr. Mahaffey, the official or ganizer, took Mr. Smith into the ante room and introduced him to the goat. Senator Smith is now a full-gledged union member. An invitation waz extended to him to remain and ad dress an open meeting of the union in the house of representatives at night. Most of the day was consumed in * discussin the report of the commit tee on warehousing and marketing. That report follows: "We recommend that warehouses be erected wherever possible and that .our farmers, as far as possible, sell their cotton through their warehous es, as by this plan higher prices can be realized. "We also recommend that the warehouses of the entire South be federated into one system, under the absolute control of the Farmers' un io,provided that the contract relat ing to ownership and disposition of - his cotton 'stored in said warehouses be acceptable to the storer. We have carefully considered the financisl plan submitted by Br-o. J. L. Keitt and recommend that it be 'adopted.'' The Keitt Plan. T'he Keitt plan referred to above was the cau.se of prolonged discus Lion and .finally was referred to the local unions of the State for ratifica tion. 'The committee on fertilizers made '1the following report: "We have canvassed the situation and find that the general opinion is that we buy all of our fertilizers through the regular chanaiels of the union and that we do our mixng at home and save from $3 to $6 per toE -and that we advise our members ti reduce their fertilizers in a reasona ble manner so as to be~ on a safe and sure basis.'' The members of this committee are J. M. Holman, Douglas MeIntyre, W. T. Walker. Resolutions. -The report of the committete e the good of the order recommended: "That provision be made to press vigorously the educational work oi the union, directing especial atten tion to the importance of raising 'home supplies as a means of breaking down the cr-edit and mortgage busi ness of the State and enable us t< control the sale of our cotton." The following resolutions wver< adopted: "Resolved, That it is the sense 0: this body that Congressman Lever b< requested to amend his bill requirmns the manufacturers to give th-e num her of bales of cotton on hand by re quiring the manufacturers to als give the amount of manufacturei goods on hand." A resolution was adopted provid ing that the members of the unior urge the manufacturers of guano t' use sacks made of 'cotton and als that cotton should be covered wit] enttonl bagging. It was also r-esolv-ed to use thI orilnters' unon label on prm-itig. ^ Raise Supplies at Home.

Also we urge a corn - crop for the winter with some of the clover and vetch, thereby reducing bi the necessity of using so much am moniated fertilizer and increasing a fertility of the soil, thus enabling us to raise more stock." c Prohibition. The following was also adopted: "Resolved, That the Farmers' n- d ion of South Carolina go on record j s being in favor of prohibition with out recom.mendation to the general A assembly." This resolution was carried by a rising vote and was practically unani- t< 1ous, about a dozen opposing it. The delegation from th~e Sixth con- . gressional district recom.mended that g I Mr. J. H. Lambert of Marion be ap- o: pointed a member of the executive ommittee, vice T. C.
