TO ORGANL
~
Editor The Dispatch-News:
My fellow farmers of South Carolina,
do you possibly realize the burdens
of responsibility that we are
face to lace wun ior me ut-Ai jw.
and for years to come? Shall we
meet them as brave men under the
leadership of the great God of nations
or shall we become disgruntled,
discouraged, demoralized and give up
and surrender to evil forces and influences?
I don't believe a word of
it. Such is not the history of our
people.
It seems that in every grave and
disastrous crisis that the farmer is
the under-dog and is the great burden
bearer. He has toiled like a
slave, has had to stint his women and
children almost to the starvation
point and in a great many instances
his children have been reared in
gross ignorance. No greater sacrifices
were ever made by the serfs of
Russia than by our farm women and
children, and yet as individuals without
organization we have achieved
wonders. After ev?ry disaster we
I have come back and gone to heights
I never -dreamed of, but to say that the
I agricultural people of this state are
I satisfied with their condition would
[I be stating an untruth; so my fellow
I farmer herein lies our great responJ
sibility.
~ We are face to face with an economic
breakdown, and the eyes of
the state are turned towards the tiller
of the soil. The farmer today is
regarded as the bulwark of the state
as has always been the case; but he
is without the sympathy and appreciation
that he should have and this
is because he has failed to organize
and demand his rights. The scheming
politician doesn't want the farmers
organized in the farmers behalf
but if he can get the farmer torn
,to pieces to further his cause he is
satisfied. No doubt the farming
class has been frightfully discriminated
against in taxation. There
comes a time when every thing the
farmer produces fails to make him
any profit and there is nothing' with
which to ^.y taxes; yet a great
proportion of the profit producing
class escapes taxes entirely but the
j farmer never escapes his.
The question that the farmers have
got to ask themselves is, can and will
the old line politician, whether , in the
general assembly or as governor,
make any attempt to change these
conditions? I think not; hence the
imperative necessity of cleaning out
_ the old liners and nutting in a far
mer as Governor and a general assembly
of farmers and business men
who would give all the people a just
and fair deal, without strife and contention
as has so often characterized
political affairs in South Carolina beCOL.
HARMAX WRITES
INTERESTIN GIjY OF ATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga., October 24, 1921.
Editors of The Dispatch-News,
Thinking perhaps, that you would
enjoy a letter from Atlanta, the city
of hills, I will endeavor to pencil you
a few lines from this part of the
? world. I arrived here on'the 7th and
__ was met by my son, C. B. Harman
and driven to his beautiful home on
Barrtett Street, about one-half block
from Ponce DeLeon Avenue, which is
about three miles drive from the station.
As usual, I did not enjoy the
ride on the cars as I became too sickto
notice anything. Since my arrival
here, however, I have strolled around
and through the city and enjoyed the
beautiful scenery in the city which
has made great improvements since 1
was here, just two years ago. Many
new buildings have gone up and the
streets greatly improved. Out where
I am now the houses are just beautiful,
so many excellent residences bul
few business houses. Many apart
II ment houses in this part of the cit\
occupied by from four to as many a;
J! twenty families in one house. As this
is called the city of hills, you wil
find many of the most magnificent
dwellings situated from ten to thirtj
' feet above the pavement which art
reached by granite ox* concrete steps
? the lawns in front are mostly covered
With nice, green grass and beautiful
flowers, which are adapted to this
climate, which is said to be among
?
the coldest in the South. At present,
however, we are having beautiful
\v cut nor. rne uiuusfnu-in.-) nnc m*
many and mostly of the highest type
or grade. However I have visited only
two. so far. and was highly pleased
and enjoyed them both. The South
Georgia Fair ended here last week
and was a grand success, attended by
large crowds, but on account of its
I distance front here and my not feeling
well. I did not attend. On last Sunday
one week ago, Mi". Cates, a friend
of Charlie's came with his automobile, j
and drove us all out in the country J
GES FARMERS j
ZE POLITIC ALL Y
i
fore.
Who can measure the responsibility j
r>f thp old staid farmer as from day |
to day he .goes over the hills and
through the valleys communing with
I nature's God?
Our mirids look into next year's
campaign and we shudder, we stand
I
aghast, our blood runs cold, because
we see the vile demagogue politician
with the tongue of a serpent, with lying
slander upon his lips sowing discord,
enmity and hatred all over
South Carolina. A devil incarnate.
We see the evidences of a very strong
probability of dragging the prohibition
or liquor question into the next
campaign. My fellow countrymen,
did you know that the bootleggers
and the illicit distillers could and
would rai.A $100,000 or more if necessary
to elect a liquor governor of
this State? There is no doubt of it
and do you believe there is a man
in South Carolina who would be governor
on such a platform if he could? j
I do. Not in the campaign would he i
avow himself a liquor candidate but
after his election he would show you
what he would do. Who is to save
J the state from the possibilities of such
a disaster? Can he look to the
towns and cities. and politicians to
save us, I fear not. Who is to suffer
most from lax enforcement of the
liquor laws, The farmer in the handling
of his labor will suffer most and 1
the poor women and children living in "
the country whose very lives are constantly
in fear and dread of some
frightful calamity overtaking them.!
You indifferent and unthinking citi-J
zen, man or woman of South Caro- j
lina, what an appalling condition'
could be brought about by allowing
ourselves to be prostrated in the election
of men who are known destructionists
and who would open further
the bleeding wounds of our people.
My fellow farmer and fellow citizen
of South Carolina, of every vocation
and profession, do you realize
that for years to come it is going to
take every ounce of energy, the
greatest of wisdom and all of our constructive
conservatism to save this
State from an economical, moral, social.
political and educational disaster?
I call upon the God fearing
men and women to realize that the
fight is on and to save the people
from the slough of despair and the
demon politician who would set this
State on fire for his own sake. We
must get together and fight the poli
ticians who would go over all this
State next year and harangue our
poverty stricken and demoralized
people into a frenzy. You can never
reconstruct men or communities by
first destroying them.

several miles out of the city, the trip
covered about thirty miles over and
through the red hills of Georgia, the
lands of which are mostly poor and
unfit for farming purposes, in fact, '
. you could hardly find level ground
enough for a one ox farm. The roads
t are of concrete or asphalt, and just
- fine for driving. On our trip we
[ passed many places of note among
, them, the battle grounds of Peach
i Tree Creek, the headquarters of the
: K. K. Klan, the residence of Col. Sim;
mons, the head of K. K. K., the
county alms house, a large brick
; building with beautiful surroundings
; which is a credit to any county or
[ state. Also passed many excellent
. churches both in and out of the city.
On our return trip we took in Camp
. Gordon, which by the way, has been
: T- ~TUa
Isold out since my i-omms nviv. mc
place now looks dilapidated but has
' the appearance of once having been
> the scene of war activities. Many of
the houses still standing and the railt
road track still in tact. The trip was '
- surely enjoyed by all ol* the occupants
- of our car.
s The threatened K. K. Strike has
3 somewhat upset our stay, or plans.
1 and may cause us to return home
|
c sooner than we expected. Charley, his I
wife and girls, have been especially |
? kind to us, making our stay with them
, as pleasant as could be, and we have J
1 surely enjoyed our stay with them.
[ Charlie leaves on a business trip tc
: Chicago tomorrow and will not return
until the latter part of the week
and we will hardly leave for home until
after his return strike or no strike.
Our stay with him and family has
been so pleasant that we regret to
leave for "home sweet home." the
lovliost place on earth.
I have been sick over since my
coming here but not confined to bed.
Am feeling some better at this writing.
With kind regards r<> you and the
hope of your future success, I am,
Yours most respectfully.
