THE STATE FARMERS' UNION. Annual Convention at ColumbIa, July 27. The program for the meeting of the State Farmers' union to be held in Columbia at the hall of the house of representatives, beginning Wednes day, July 27, is given below. The following letter has been sent out: The annual meeting of the South Carolina State Farmers' Union, soon to be held, is a very important one in the history of this organization. The meeting will convene in the hall of the house of representatives, State house, Columbia, S. C., Wednesday, July 27, 1910, at 8.30 p. m., and will probably continue in session until about noon, Friday, July 20, 1910. Quite a number of subjects of in terest to the Farmers' union and the i agricultural class generally will be taken up for discussion. Reports will be made of the work in the various counties in the State, showing the lines of activity and the organized ef forts made to educate the members of the union and secure practical results along the line of the objects and pur poses set forth in the preamble to the constitution. Reports will be made from the work of the National union, the condition of the order in other States, and from the St. Louis meeting in May, 1910. The building and management of warehouses will no doubt be taken up along with other important busi ness subjects. We have every reason to believe that definite plans will be discuss%ri and arrangement made to revive and reorganize the union wherever neces sary in counties already organized and to introduce the order into un organized counties, or parts of coun ties, thereby gaining a foothold in new territory. The constitution of the South Caro lina State Farmers' union will no doubt be revised and rearranged sv that when printed again it'can be in dexed with subjects properly classi fied. We are very anxious to secure as large an attendance as possible, both of delegates and visiting members. \While the voting power will be con fined to the regularly elected dele gates, all the members of the union in. good standing are allowed by the constitution to attend the State un ion meeting, and as many as can come are hereby cordially invited.

It would appear from Paris dis patches that a long step, at least, has een made toward the discovery of an effective anti-typhoid vaccine. Ty phoid bacilli steeped in a weak solu tion of water and common salt, withi an admixture of ether, enable ani mals to withstand subsequent typhoid inoculation easily. It has also been shown that the blood of persons thus vaccinated possess antityphoid prop erties in a high degree, killing the bacll seedily. For some fifteen has been used, with, on the whole,' satisfactory results. During the Boer war it very materially reduced the death rate from sickness in those British regiments where it was used. Since that time its use in the armies of the world has become fairly ex tensive. Not long ago an entire regi ment of the United States army was vaccinated at Chattanooga. Physi cians experienced in the use of this vaccine declare that they have never known serious results to follow its judicious administration. It may, however, cause slight illness of a tem porary nature. The chief objections against it so far have been this pos sible consequence and the fact that its effectiveness can be relied upon for a brief period only. If the Paris dis covery results in an anti-typhoid vac cine indisputably suitable for general use, a great benefit will have been conferred by the discovery upon man kind. Specify. We cordially endorse the following from the Columbia Record: "If there is any man in South Caro lina who by his public expressions has done the cause of prohibition more harm than Rev. J. L. Harley, secretary of the Anti-Saloon league. the name of that other man is un known to us. He has added another break to his list. "In a communication published in the Newberry Observer, Rev. Mr. Har ley discusses the present political sit uation in this State as it relates to prohibition, essaying to answer the arguments advanced for local option, and in the course of his article he says: ".Jst here is where the local option principle as applied to the li I quor business in South Carolina is a farce. The scheming politicians and the subsidized liquor papers will harp on local self-government, etc." "The politicians, whether they be scheming, or not, can take care of themselves, as well as of Mr. Harley if they choose. But as one having pride in the independence and integ rity of the profession of journalism in South Carolina, and as one not unfriendly to the cause of prohibi tion, the Record desires to say that Rev. Mr. Harley owes it not only to the press of the State, but to the anti saloon league, which he represents, to name if he can any paper in South Carolina that is "subsidized" by the liquor interests or by any other in-! terests. "Put up or shut up, Brother Har ley." IIt is just as the Record says, Mr. HFarley should specify-he should put up or ,shut up.-Anderson Daily Mail. Nick Downer-Philosopher. Nick Downer is a negro, a negro farmer who is described as "pros perous" and is one who "owns land." The fact is not set forth, but it may be assumed that Nick is "respected by the whites." There is no infor mation at close hand regarding the matter, but we will venture to say that Nick takes up very little time contending for "his rights." He doesn't have to; he has all he needs. He is a pillosopher, and when he dropped iii to see his friend, the editor of the Washington ~Gazette-Chronicle recently, gave out the following in formation: Boss, the hail got my crop Sunday evening. Nearly all of my cotton was chopped out, and the hail left only little stems; very few leaves were left on any of it. The blades 3n my corn were cut into strings, but I know that will come out all right. I would feel like my cotton was ruin ed, but I remember that about twen ty years ago, my cotton was done the same way, and I thought it was ruined. I waited on it a while, when it began to con-e out and this made me work it hard. That year I made 60 bales of cotton with five plows, the best crop I ever made before or since. This is what makes me think that all of us who have been struck by the: hail this year, are going to do better than we think we will. It is a pleasure to contribute to wards the distribution of Nick's op timism. When the wild blasts: of hail and storm don't disturb him; when his cotton fields contain noth-1 ing but bare stems, and the leaves of his corn are left in strings, he knows that there is one thing which misfor tune seldom overcomes-one thing that the fates pay trih'te to>-and that is hard work. And the sooner others of Nick's. race learn that by this route alone they will achieve their own, so much quicker will the fates lend a hand to the tribe as a whole.-Augusta Chron ile. Frankly Ignorant. "Of course, you know the story of~ William Tell," said the serious citi zen. "To tell you the truth," replied Mr. Cumrox, "I'm not clear about him.
