All the safe guards possible have been given a place in the constitution for the government of the Farmers Union. Yet it is well to sound a note of warning occasionally against the wiles of the politicians, and the danger is always on the inside. The fate of the Farmers Alliance is fresh in the minds of the people. In that organization political econo mic questions were discussed in a “i.-in-partisan” way Later o . on political aspirants began to bob up and were designated as “Alliance democrats'’ and they became so numerous that enough of them were elected to make what w;»« known as the “Alliance legislature.” Later • on a 'new party was formed in oide* to make mom for all the politicians that had developed in the Farm ers Alliance. Then there were two sets of Alliance politicians— those whe were known as “Alli ance democrats” and those who w’ere known as “populists.” This was too much of a .oad for the Alliance organization to carry. It groaned under the burden for a while and then it passed out of existence. If the ride your organization j» little before you are aware of it. When he attempts it tell him good and strong that this is atrictly a business organization. —The Carolina Union Farmer. SECURES CHARTER.

We must not lose sight of the fact that it is not a theory but a condition that confronts us. If vre foolish ly get it into our heads that we must attempt to change general conditions as they exist our efforts will be a futile as shooting straws against a brick wall, for nothing short of a revolution will change them. The Farmers Union proposes to meet the conditions as they exist, in a practical business way. We propose to pieet the commercial interests in a scientT- tic way—to meet organization with organization, to meet cen tralization with centralization, to meet combination w’ith com bination. We are fully aware that the task is a big one and that it will require mature plans and loyal co-operation 0 in order to triumph. Those who are lead ing the organization realize the seemingly insurmountable diffi culties that will be encountered and they are going about it in a conservative manner, yet with datermination. But we are digressing a little from our subject. We wijl boil it down for application by say ing that you may watch the fel low who is a Union man and who Rets it into his head that he cai bear his Union brethren calling °n him to run for office, flext • Vear *ill be campaign year and it isn’t any too toon to keep one epen and watch develop LATE AT MEETINGS. Ask any member of the Union when his local meets and, as an example, he will say, “why we are to meet at 8 o’clock, but we hardly ever get there to begin before 9 o’clock.” Now, we ask, why is this? Why cannot you meet at-H o’clock just as well as at 9 o’clock? Nothing will dis gust the members quicker or more effectually than thit. Now is this late meeting busi ness-like? Whoever heard of a meeting of bank directors, or the directors or stock holders of a business organization being late? Why? Because there are business men at the back of it. Now, the members of the Far mers’ Union are members of the biggest business organization in the world, and is it too much to Only three counties in the '.State now without any farmers' union organizations; Charleston, Beaufort and Georgetown. , uror.

An, exchange makes the fol- Ibwinir timely remarks: “Don't ge. it into your head to pay the newspaper man as an act of charity—tiia* lie has to live, and feel that you had just as well help a little. A news paper is just as legitimate a busi ness as the dry goods or grocery business, and it is just as neces sary to the hnilding of the town and country jn which it exists as any other business. Further than that, ev-»ry man in the country gets benefit from the paper whether he is a subscriber or not. The editor does, more for the development of the coun try than any other one man, if he has the good of the country at heart. Don’t figure that he has to be an editor to make a living, either. The majority of them 1 can do other thirds* too. “So, as you are get tine benefit from the home paper, don’t you think you ought to subscribe for it and help the editor to do a good work—not as an act of charity, hot as a matter of busi ness and self-interest? We do.” PROTRACTED MEETING AT BETHANY • Round, July 21,—Special: The pastor. RevJ M Craven, has just concluded a very successful pro tracted meeting here.
