At the opening of the afternoon se

sented the State union with the gav
and tablet which had been present(
to the State Farmers' alliance by N
W. Keys in 1889. In making th

an outgrowth from the alliance. M
Efird was the last State president,
he illfated alliance. J. F. Nest
made the speech of acknowledgmei
on behalf of the union.
L. C. Padgett, the county presidei
of Colleton county, took occasion 1

The farmers' alliance, which wz
years ago ridden to death by polit
cians, was discussed at length by se
eral of the members.
Among the speakers of the afte:
no4 was A. C. Shuford, of Newto:
N. C. He is chairman of the Stai
executive committee of the Farmer
union of North Carolina and secreta
of the national board of directors. M~
Shuford speaking before the convel
tion, said in part as follows:
"The failure of mankind is to blan
somebody else for our troubles. Hei
we in the South have a product tl
world must have,. and if we woul
stand for our rights the farmer of ti
South would have magnificent wealt
instead of letting others coin- 01
money. We are to blame for it. Na

to right them. So it is with our peop

heavy, we got busy to correct thei
The only remedy is cooperation. TI

as independent creature. It is throus
society and association that we d
velop. It is the clash of mind wi

The demand was never so great fi

"As a class the farmers are n
as well educated as are the other
but I will put the farmer against tl
world for common sense if he w
use it. A college diploma does n
educatea-it only increases one's cap
s -
city for education."
By request the speaker explain<
the Torrens land system. He sa
that he hoped to see the system adop
ed in this State. He is a forceful ar
earnest speaker and his address wi
listened to with interest by all pre
ent.
On Good of the Order.
The following is the report of ti
committee on the good of the orde:
"That we have passed on all pape:

Now, as a further partial report, v
would recommend the buildingi

practicable. We would further re
ommend that each county organiz;

expense endeavor to recoup its ran]
from the best material in its border
and to try to make it interesting

to belong to the order. This mayi

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

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

the parcels p)ost in Washington. Only
rabout 5 per cent. of the people really
doppose this measure. The Farnwrs

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."

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.
This is the sensible,~
the scientific, the right way.
