D C Sanders. This State meeting was one of the best ever held, and it did ranch Vo encourage those who were present in the work of the Union. There were present about two hundred delegates and member*, representing thirty- nine counties. The most important matters discu^ed at this meeting were: The marketinz of the cotton crop and the matter of fees and dues. The warehouse plan of market ing was endorsed and tin* mem bers urzed to build warehouses. A committee of three was ap pointed to devise plans for marketing tiie piesent crop of cotton. New’ otlicers were elected as follows: President, A J S Perritt, Lamar. Vice president, K W Dabbs, Mayesville. Secretary-treasure, J Whitner Keid.JColumbia. Chaplain, W E Bodie, Wards. A NEW MARKETING SYSTEM. As bearing upon the scarcity of tlour and the high price of ♦hat which is available. The Atlanta Georgian prints a news item telling how the farmers of that state have saved $1.60 on a barrel of flour. The Georgian says that since July 1, a carload a day of first- class, all wheat flour has rolled into Georgia, to be sold direct to farmers over that stat at a price of $1 .r»0 per barrel beiow prices now quoted in the open market. This movement wains augurat- ed and put under way by the Georgia division of the Farmers’ Union, and so ettectively that only a suspicion of it has leaked into trade marts over the state . Vet. according to the story, for sixteen days, including I ri- day, a car a (lav of line tlour has .9 come into Georgia, to be dis- tnbuted to members of the Farmers’ l nion, anywhere with in the bounds of the staie at at o price fl \*>o cheaper than the open market vjuotations, which was $".25 per barrel Friday. Under the same contract, it is claimed, Alabama is getting half a car a day, and it is said that this movement of flour will cou- tituie until grain in the farmers' hands brings prices and profits How many new members have you secured for your local? We would like to hear some of our new locals . from Kemember to elect delegates to the County Union meeting to be held here Saturday. How is it with your local, Mr Sec-Treas? Is there nothing worth reporting? The order for bagging and ties will be made up Saturday. Let the locals be prepared with their orders.

The next meeting for the County Farmers’ Union will be held at the court house on Satur day, Auguest 7th, beginning at 10 o’clock. According to a pre vious resolution, the delegates and the members will bring Innch, which will be served at the court house at 12:30 o’clock. This will be a very important meeting of the County Union, as matters of considerable im portance to the members will be discussed. A report will be had from the delegates who attended the State Union meeting; The following program has been prepared for the occasion: 10 a m Call to order and open- ing exercises. 10:16 Enrollment of delegates. 10:30 Executive session . 11:30 Experience meeting. Five minute talks by members. 1112:30 Lunch brought by mem bers. 1:30 Report from State Union meeting—by L C Padgett. 2:00 Adjohrument. 4:30 Meeting of ihe Waiter- boro local. Visitors welcomed, address by county President. it has made contracts first with the graiu growers, then with the millers, the flour being shippied direct from the mills to the far mers. As au experimental nature in the wheat and flour market this is interesting and if the farmers are really lopping $1.60 off each each barrel, then they are per forming a feat that «ill challenge the admiration of the world. And, if the farmers’ Union has done this well in buying flour for its members, why can it not accomplish equally good results in selling their cotton? If the anion can save even two or three dollars a bale it will do a great deal of good. Even if it has to divide the saving with the manufacturers, the results would be good and both the farmers and the manufactuers would be beuefitted. And we see no reason under the sun why this cannot be done. —Audersou Daily Mail. Berea local has come to the front an I secured a charter.
