Walterboro, March 26.- Kditor and Standard: Well Mr. Editor, we have had our Anniver sary Supper, but no. ‘ anniversary Remember the questions for the meeting” for the simple reason that next teacher’s examination will in- our Walterboro friends whom we elude Agriculture. Let the Union! had Invited failed to meet with us. Remember the dues for the second quarter are now due and should be ' sent in aConce. A few of the locals 1 have not yet sent in their reports Press for the first quarter. in the county see to it that teachers are employed in the schools who can teach this very imiH>rtant branch. Whatever has become of that series of good resolutions -adopted at the last County meeting so en thusiastically to write something for this Department. We have not yet received a single article. Perhaps they have gone astray. There are yet farmers in Colleton connty who plant corn and other crops ‘‘in the moon.” A study of a good book on agriculture, and the reading of good agricultural papers will banish the delusion that the o moon has anything to do with it. The earth Is the place crops are grown, not the moon. The anniversary meeting at Horse Pen Friday afternoon was well at tended, but unfortunately all the speakers invited failed to show up and the speech making feature of the meeting had to be adandoned. There was a good meeting held, however, despite this fact. This is one of the livest Union sections in the county. Let other sections emulate this example. WALTERBORO LOCAL MEETS. The Walterboro local held a very interesting meeting at the court house Saturday afternoon. There was a good attendance at the meet-1 ing. Two new members were initiated, besides the regular routine of work. On account of the busy season being here, it was decided to hold Messrs Smoak, Peurifoy and Fishburne what excuse have you to make? Don’t you know if you were aspiring for any political office in gift <*f the dear people no picnic, anniversary celebration, or anniver sary meeting, would have been held anywhere in the county but what you would have been there, and made the welkins ring, but when the members of a local Farmers Union with their wives, daughters and sons, to the number of almost 200 meet in a little social gathering not a blasted one of you showed up. Why, we would not invite you to a ‘‘pinder fchelling” agailft. Anyway, we had a jolly good time, and feel it was good to be there notwithstand ing. « 589. [“589” is a little bard on one of the select. It was a source of keen regret that we could not be there, but with our little boy very ill of typhoid fever and our foreman laid up with neuralgia, it was impossible to leave home. We are sure our friends will know <> it was not our choice that we kept away. Now’, Peurifoy and Fishburne should be ashamed of themselves. We do not see how they can face any of these good people again.—Editor.] RULE ABOUT STAWPED ENVE LOPE. POSTAL BILL PROHIBITS PRINTING NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF 3 BUSINESS HOUSES. The House Committee on Post- offices and Post Boads, Washington, ^ has decided to include in the appro- # I pnation bill about to be reported a meetings only once a month from I M , u no. U„ S^be^the ti™ ^ the 4th Saturday afternoon in each month at 4 o’clock. A resolution was adopted that an effort be made at the next county meeting to have a central picnic for the union and invite some distin guished speakers to be present sad stir up the farmers as to their duties. The following delegates were elected to represent the local at the next county meeting: Bros. D. C. L. Hiers, R. E. Jones, Jaa. E. Peuri foy, J. P. Thomas and A. A. Patter son, Jr. THE FOLLY OF COMPOSTING. A great many farmers write to me, evidently poor farmers, asking about composting rich dirt and ma nure and cottonseed for the purpose of putting a Httle in the furrow for ttttton. I know just what sort of fanning those men are doing. What cattle they have are feeding on poor roughage all winter so that the manure is little better than the earth they uae to compost it with, and they imagine that mixing it up and wasting their cottonseed will make it a mixture that will pay for the labor. I say wasting their seed, not because the seed will not add more value to the compost than any- Sibig else used in it, but because they should exchange their seed for meal and feed it judiciously with good forage to cattle and make manure of real value; and then in stead of wasting time and labor on it, get it out (m the land as fast as made, and if they have time to haul woods earth, spread that too. You will never get your land up to a more productive state by dribbling j Department from furnishing stamped envelopes containing the names and addresses of the business houses to which they are supplied. Heretofore, for a alight additional cost, it has been possible for business firms to obtain stamped envelopes from the Department which bore in the left hand corner the printed name and address of the firm. These en velopes were especially in favor with KanHng firms. For a number of years various printers and publishers throughout the country have been protesting against the Postoffice De partment’s invasion of the printing field. At the expiration of the Gov ernment’s present contract with a Dayton. 0., printing firm, the Post- office Committee would have the practice discontinued. Hereafter the Department will be allowed to sup ply only the words “Return in days to.” The Department has made little or no profit on the printing of envelope*, the practice having been employed mainly for the convenience of the larger houses who purchase envelopes in thousand lota. DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL Round. Mar. 28—Little Grace Dodd, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Dodd, died at her home Sunday night and., waa buried Monday afternoon at the Fox burying ground. Little Grace had been ill with measles, which developed into pneu monia, and the sad news of this lit tle ones’ death caused aching hearts in this community. She leaves a little twin sister, who will perhaps miss her more than anyone else. FARMERS' UNION DIRECTORY* NATIONAL. President - Chas S Barrett,- Union City, Ca.
