IMORMAL -AEETING OF FARMERNI UION fathe.ing at Richland County Court! H1ouse Presided Over by A. ,;. A. Perritt, State President. T, State, 4th. A large number of the Farmers' un ion members who were attending the State fair on Farmers' union day as sembled in the Richland county court house last night. The meeting was ealled to order by President Perritt. of the union. With a few introductory remarks as to the nature of the meeting, the president introduced J. B. O'Neall Holloway, who had been at work in, the Piedmont section as a field repre sentative of the Farmers' union. Interest In Union. Mr. Holloway spoke of the interest that he found in that section of the State. His work had -been along edu eational lines to revive and strengthen the union. He emphasized the in terest that he found in the schools and the educational development. Ed neation is at the foundation of the whole social structure, in the opinion of the speaker. The future of the Farmers' union depends upon the proper education of the boys and girls of today. The farmer of today must use his brains. Let the farmer apply the same business principles and scienti lk methods that the merchant, the banker or the manufacturer puts into his business. He will then see a won derful revolution in the results. I, Educating the Farmers. Ir W. Williams was then intro #duced. He spoke of the great work of the Farmers' union in educating the farmers of the State. Much of ths credit for the revolution in the meth .ds of farming exerted by the United States farm demonstration work is due to the Farmers' union. The un ion helped to put the work before the, people and get them interested was the statement by Mr. Williams. The or ganization was a very powerful factor in introducing this educational devel opment. The corn contests of the boys all over the State grew out of the work of the union, he said. He spoke of the importance of keep ixg up the organization. We should not be deceived by prosperity and be~ tempted to become careless in this respect The moral force of organiza tion is of great value. The union is a power in the land. To be Independent. Senator E. D. Smith was then in troduced by the president In comnpli mentary terms.I *Senator SmIth emphasized the lm portance of being Independent A man who is at the beck and call of another is not a full human being-he Is sim ly a biped. He must rise above the level of mediocrity and become some thing of force and power. Three steps-wealth, leisure, learn ing-necessary to the acquisition of power. Wealth is secured by increas ing productive power. How many of the farmers really know all the products of their cotton and the markets and how it is hand led from start' to finish? Hew many know all the products of cotton seedj ad how they are handled? Knowledge is power. Let us know more about our resources, then we will be In a position to be more In dependent E. J. Watson made a short address. "We are now closing a most pros perous year," said the speaker. He emphasized the Importance of educa tonal work in the agricultural de velpment. For many years the far mers had been sending a very large part of the money received for cotton out of the State for food for both man and beast. The corn crib was out' West. "We are now moving the corn eib to this State," he continued. All the forces are now combining to educate the farmers. Great itL erease in the production of corn. Much rotton and unsuitable corn has been kept out of the State by laws re cently enacted. There has been great advance in the live stock industry in the State. "This year marks the greatest ad vance that has been made in agricul ture in any single year in our past history," he continued. The farmer is the keystone to the economic arch of the country, in the .pinion of the commissioner. The local union, he said, should be made a live place for educational work as well as for business pur poses. The union is a valuable organ iation, and its power and strength, te speaker continued, should be In eresed by the active work of the in dividual members. A IDream of Three Coffins. Mrs. George C. Sweeney, of Buford, a sister of Mr. Wallace's first wife, told of a dreami she had had the night before, when three coffins were brought to her mother's home. Mr. Wallace was prosperous and well thought of in Lawrenceville. His irst wife died many years ago and he had three children by his second wife, F'elton. aged fourteen, being the eldet A Gigantic 01 We feel sure in makinj in this part of the State z putting out this advertisei travagant promises that < trading opportunity this s ing this month of Noveml Black Dress Goods and A forty foot display of black dress goods a lars to any charitable institution if I caa't show goods and silks in Newberry.
