RESTORED TO DEAITH AND STRENGTH DY VINOL AFTER ALL OTHER MEANS HAD FAIL ED THE PRACTICAL GOOD THE UNION IS DOING. Last week 1 attended three local union meetings, and made it a point to learn how many of the members were making an effort to make their farms self-sustaining. I found in each a decided improvement over condi tions in former years. The Presi dent of one local told that to his cer tain knowledge every member of that local sowed oaas last fall, that every member had corn enough to make his crop thu year, and those who had nr pigs at present were making every effort to get them in order to have meat for another year. He was born and raiser! in that community, and says this is the first year he has ever known when some of those who are members have not had to buy corn. We often hear some one sneering- ly ask “What good is the IJnion doing?’! The improved conditions in this one neighborhood are snfficient answer. If the Union never accom plished anything else the improved conditions in this one section are sufficient excuse for its existance, and the results accomplished should cauae renewed interest to be taken by the membership and the general public. Business men, real business men, bankers and merchants who are long headed enough to know what is for the real good of the whole coun try are unanimous in commending this feature of the Union teaching, to lisa at home. In a recent conver sation with the president of a bank which controls a million dollars, the FARMERS UNION MEETING OF COUNTY PRESIDENTS AND OTHERS. All the County Presidents are es pecially requested to meet with the State Executive Committee on Thursday, April 29th, 1909. at 8 P. M., in the City of Columbia, S. C g for the purpose of consulting togeth er in reference to' the handling of the cotton crop of 1909, ami such other matters as may be useful for the upbuilding of the Union in se curing a more complete organization in all the counties of the state. As many of the County Secreta ries and County Business Agents as can conveniently do so are requested to attend also, together with as many members of the Union who can come. A mass meeting is desired for dis cussion and consultation. B. HARRIS, Pres. S. C. State Farmers’ Union. J.

Among other things he told me he had ten brood sows from which he had sold more than 100 pigs at $3.00 each during the last year. He makes corn, hay, etc., to sell, and as a surplus crop made last year 86 bales of cotton. He does not complain that he can not make money farming. His farming operati^ps show a good profit. The secret of his success is that he puts the same sense and business principles into firming that he does into banking, and succeeds in both. The Union must push the work of better farming, more sensible and business like fanning, based on the solid rock of “living at home,” and its succem h assured.—W. L. Stall ings in The Cultivator. WAREHOUSE AGAIN. To the members of the Farmers’ Union: As your county business agent there is a matter about which I wish to write you and in which you have more interest doubtless from a personal standpoint than I. It is this: How about a county warehouse for aiding in marketing this year’s cotton crop? It iMbrnfor us to be thinking of this, and rderire to call this matter to the attention of the that it Last week we had a pleasant call from our veteran organizer, M. A. Mahaffey, who has organized more local unions than any other one man in South Carolina, and who seems to know how to go after the people and get them. Brother Mahaffey has been at work in Colleton county, where be has succeeded in organiz ing twelve local unions, and last Saturday, March 27th, he rounded up his work there by organizing Colleton county union.—Fanners’ Union Sun. Don’t impose on yourself the heaviest taxation a fanner can bear '-that which comas from buying Hv- in* supplies outside the State.— the next county meeting whan I hope to see some definite steps taken to iosurea warehouse. So, brethren, talk this op and hatruet your dele- gates to the county union meeting what to do about iff Your money crop should ha handled with good jwdfcmoat and this fii tfco euly way to do it Let as have your views through this dspavtassnt W.

April, 5th, Editor Press and Standard:—Our Union met in regular session on Apr. 1st and there was a goodly nomber present who manifested a great deal of interest.

PROFESSOR HICK'S STORY. suffered from a severe at tack of the grippe which left me in a weakened condition with bronchitis, a soreness in my chest and a hacking cough. I tried different physicians and took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on the market without get ting any permanent relief. 1 saw your c^J liver and iron prep aration—Yinol—advertised, and decided to try it, and it com- pletelycured my bronchialtrouble and restored my strength. 1 cannot say too much for Vinol, as I received inexpressible bene fit from its use, and 1 consider it one of the greatest blessings ever offered to the public.” R. E. R. Hicks, Maplesville, Ala. { The grippe invariably leaves in its wake a weakened, run-down condition of the system. Yinol is guaranteed to restore the suf ferer to health and strength, and to build up and create strength for old people, delicate children and weak, debilitated people. So suie are we of this that we unhesitatingly say give Yinol a trial. If you think it does you no good we will refund your money, but it will. John M.
