Parrot, presi is dent of the Sumter Brokerage com ie pany, gave a detailed description of [e his company, which is purely a union SI concern, every~ dollar's, stock being r. taken by the members. It is quite )f a success and many of the members itI were intensely interested in Mr. Par It rot's description of the work of the plant. it The principal feature of the even o ing was the address by National 7 President Chas. S. Barrett of Union City, Ga. For more than an hour, Mr. LS Barrett, entertained the union in his i- inimitable style. There is never a v- dull moment when he speaks, and his addresses are enterspersed with much wit and humor. But woe unto the reporter -who attempts to follow Mr. Barrett and make a connected report of his address. At the con clusion of his address, Vice-President rDabbs offered a resolution of thanks, _which was unanimously adopted by a rising vote. eMr. Barrett said that he was glad -e to be here again and thinks this State~ e is in splendid condition. "This has [d been one of the best meetings yot Shave ever had," he said. "When i h. leave the Farmers' union, I hope tc ir be able to educate my boys and dc Ssome little things for Mr. Barrett. I e. shall not hold any office when I leave is this official position." He is 44 year Sold and has never held any office. le, He hoped to do something to hell; >the people of the State in some way, n. What the people of the State need is ie for its members to make sacrifices. It it is possible for one-half the members sto make this order larger, bigger and e- better than the alliance or grange th ever were. "You do not have to havE >umen come in and speak to you," he ts said. "How many hundreds of thou u- sands of speeches do' you suppose ct have been*"made to the Farmers' un n. ion? What we need is sacrifice and :service. "The farmers have done a greal ot many things of which we should be ,proud. Some how or other the world ie has got to think, we are a powerful 1l order. The union is attracting the ot attention of the business, the educa a- tional, the moral world. It is a pow. er, a force. Why, even the president aof the United States came to see it id this was one honor seldom granted by tthe president. Speaking about politi id cal influence, all our legislators and icongressmen, are Just waiting for you sto tell them what to do and they will do it. In Washington this year we had congressmen come to us and see what the union wanted. This was l demonstrated by the work done on: the parcels p)ost in Washington. Only rabout 5 per cent. of the people really doppose this measure. The Farnwrs t.uinhad a lot to (do with the VoJm cn the income tax in Georgia." ~:Discussing the farmers of different sections of the country. President CBarrett paid a compliment to the far mer of the Nortlavest. He said he wa~s tne biggest, broadest man he sknew following the profession. The difference between the Southern far nmer asks "How cheap will you dc it ?" The Northwestern farmter asks >"How much can you do, how well car 1- you do it and how quick?" 11: Giving some figures to show thi condition of the union. MIr. Barreti avex muche oneuragement.

TIe State. The State Farmers' union went on record yesterday against the bring ing into the South of "undersirable foreigners." The following is the' resolution adopted. "Whereas foreign immigration is being agitated again for the South and the diversion and distribution of foreigners now congesting and com ing into the cities of the Northeast is proposed as a means of relief for Northern immigration evils; and, "Whereas we are unalterably op posed, as set forth in our local, State and national union in resolutions and our national committee's statement before the house immigration com mittee, to the present enormous alien influx from the Southeast, Europe and western Asia and its distribution by the federal government; and there fore be it "Resolved by the Farmers' Educa tioial and Cooperative Union of South Carolina. this 28th day of July, 1910,, that we heartily indorse our national resolutions, approve the argument of ou national legislative committee, i and urge upon congress restriction by ,means of an increased head-tax, a money requirement, the illiteracy test, such as Australia and other new countries have for their protection against undesirable foreigners, the defeat of all distribution schemes and legislation that will carry out the recommendations of the United States commtssioner general of inamigration contained in his annual report; and be it further "Resolved, that the State secretary send a copy of these resolutions to' President Taft, the immigration cm mission, our congressmen and sena tors and supply the newspapers with a copy for publication." These resolutions followed an ad dress by J. M. Patten of Washington, who is in charge of the work of re stricting - mimigration-not of pre venting the coming of settlers who are persons of desirable character, but of the unrestricted pouring in of foreign laborers and fortune hunters. Mr. Patten, who was Introduced by President C. S. Barrett, was very complimentary to the farmers' union and urged the importance of the or ganization and told interestingly of' 1the work of the legislative committee of the union which appeared before the house committee on immigration. The expatriation of foreign criminals and insane of foreign countries who. took advantage of contracts of steam shiip companies because it is cheaper to ship them out of these countries than' to maintain them there. According to the statement made before the un-, ion plans are on foot to turn this class of immigrants, "these millions of un-' desirable immigrants" from the north ern section of the South, such plans beingssupported by Northern capital .S Mr. Patten stated. further that he! did not C.ieve cotton is bringing enough. The average one-horse far mer cannot possibly,, at the present price clear over $175 and if the ob ject of these capitalists is accomplish ed, the price of our farm products will be cheapened and it will result in hardship to the South. Following Mr. "Sure Cure" "I would like to guide suffering women to a sure cure for female troubles,'?. writes Mrs. R. E. Mercer, of Frozen Camp, W. Va. "I have found no med- . icine equal to Card ui. I had suffered for about four years. Would have headache for a week at a time, until I would be nearly crazy. I took Car .dui and now I never have the headache any more." Take The Woman's Tonro The pains from which inany women suffer every month are unnecessary. It's not safe to trust to strong drugs, right at the time of the pains. Better to take Cardui for a while, before and after, to strengthen th system and cure the causve.
