The officers of the Farmers' I'nion have invited i you and that means YOU, Brother Farmer. not your neighbor to meet willi us on July 23rd in an open I meeting to discuss two subjects up on which depends much that stands for the prosperity of the state, viz: ; The* mraketitig of cotton, and the use, misuse and purchase of comijier clal fertilizer. We have the prom ise of |ir. Bradford Knapp and Mr. C. J. Brand of Washington and Col. K J. Watson and Mr W. W. Ixmg of South Carolina, to address us on tills occasion Thee first Two on cotton marketing, the two latter on fort lli/.ors and how t o buy ami Use them properly. Now we know without your tell ing us so, i It it t four addresses with out any ' back-talk"' will be too mm b for an\ audience this hot weather, no matter how refreshing us. Therefore, we want Vol', not the breezes of old ocean may fan your neighbor, to go '<> this, meeting cocked, primed and loaded, to make it your meeting'. Ask questions, tell ' your experiences, and let no phase of thse subjects escape your notice. Then we will have a meeting that will make 1 !? 1 epochal in the his tory of farming in South Carolina. So much tn tho farmers of the i state generally. Below you .?will find the last letter from National ('resident Barrett. I want the mem bers and officers of the Farmers' I'nion to read it and ponder well the thoughts he expresses. 1 wish 1 could burn into your brains the words of the fifth paragraph of his letter "Your emancipation, your ; freedom, yout right . . . . Must come from your own efforts, your own or ganization through plans formulated within your won ranks-? and 1 be lieve through 'the Farmers' I'nion" -"Stand by your guns." Brother Keid has sent me a list of the un ions that are alive in the state, and one of those that have fallen by the way sidt* because the road was "long and stumpy." Are you going to quit because of some discourage ments? The most idolized as well as the most hated man in South Ca j rolina hs?m1 he had "a long and stum py road to travel" before he could be governor of the state. If he ha | given up as you have done? many of you his devoted followers- would he have ever been governor? And 1 would he hvae ever reached the lion orable place in the Cnitcd States senate which he now holds? My friends, you have forgotten your own history of but yesterday. Sure ly, surely the men who have battled on both sides so valiantly for the good of South Carolina politically since '7f>, will not fail in this con test for economic and social and business freedom which is the rally ing cry of the 20th century! Two weeks remain in -which you can reoranize your feeble locals and have your counties adequately reprCi- 1 sen t ed at the annual meeting. You do not need to have an outsider or ? Yi'n deputized organ? /.er It yon wi-h : <i be in the greatest move ment for economic reform, get in now, and do a man's, yes and a wo man's part Most of you know thai 'he good women are eligible to membership, bring them in. and see how much more interesting your meetings will be K W.
