He told of the great sacrifice he made, and of the suffering of his wife and children who did not have the necessities of life.

The talk made by .Prof. Keitt of Clemeon College on fertilizers was intsnaely practical and educational. He ahowed that it waa to the interest of the fanner to purchase fertiliser ingredients and mix at home. He S ve many examples of fertilizers it could thus be made, and which would suit cooditioM and aoHs bet ter than ready mixed goods. In so dium the bulk of the fertiliser would thus be reduced, saving freight and Prat Keitt was asked to give a good formula for a fertiliser which would, he suited for corn and cot- ithia county, on .sandy loam He gaffe two or three, which mid perhaps produce He would adviao us ing 810 to 1000 pounds of this fer- tiliNr on toads that will make a bale of cotton to the acre and leas as the anwont that can he made per acre la reduced. This pre-oupporea a of nitr into the brother for riding in a Pullman car. He appealed to the brethren to atop such ex- travagence. He appealed to those in the pit and then to those in the gallery for simpathy. The appg&l had the desired effect. Upon nwtion by W W Smoak, thg The gallery showered Lhe coin ommi vot^i to give two pnzes one down hi &t)d the brethren in of |26. and one of $15, in the .Boy * , . , ... . Com Club contest to be organised in ‘^a 1 * , thM county, subject to the rules'. The defendant, who was and governing such contest when or- is. one of the biggest and best men in that or any other state, arose and tried to explain to the convention that it would be very much better for him to pay two dollars extra and have a good night’s rest so he could be fresh for the next day’s Service much better than if he should sit up in a day coach all night and nod all the next day. But they would not hear him. He had no business in that Pull man, they said, and down and out he went But that man had more sense, more patriotism and more genuine love for farmers than most peo ple. He did not cuss out fa- mers generally and quit trying to help them. He went right on doing everything he could for them notwithstanding the fact that men in the convention had insulted his wife. And to show you that farmers will do you of 50 pounds of nitrate mixed fertiliser ef'ssia. this mixed fertiliser would analyse shout 8-5-7. The following are Prof. Keitt’s formtoe good for com or cotton: 800 pounds of 11 per cent fish K 500 pound* of 16 per cent ndd; 700 pounds of 12 per cent kminit. Or substituting cotton seed meal for the fish scrap: 600 pounds rtandard cotton seed meal; 700 pounds of 16 per cent acid; 700 pounds of 12 per cent kamit. Prof. Keitt said the crying need of our toils is humus. Plant legumes and save all stable manure possible. Turn under grass, stalks etc now and plant rye as a sure cover crop. Plow deep and supply humus. He is very much pleaded with the quality of the soil down here, and sees great possibilities ahead of the low country.

If ne had followed the example of moat 1 leaders in sulted like himalf, he would have denounced that convention and quit work for the farmer for good. He waa not that sort of man, and you know the reat Another incident: One aum- mer not long ago a young man who waa going from hia father’s home to a town in another coun ty, stopped for a while at a pro tracted meeting near my home. When this young man (who was a high roller) went into the church, the brethren were hav ing an experience meeting and, as usual, the talks were very tender and touching, there was brotherly love, good' fellowship some tears, -etc. Finally thpt young man, just to pass off a hL tie time and to see how much feeling he could put on thebreth- ren, arose with the most serious and sanctified look you ever saw, and his voice trembling with emotion, exorted the brethren for a while, until many of them were crying. When the meeting adjourned and the brethren had assembled on the outside, as is the custom, for a parting word, they spoke of the young stranger and un animously agreed that he was a good man, they declared it would be impossible for anyone to have such a serious look and talk with Bitch earnestness and not be a ’good man. ^ . I had known that young man since he was a baby and a bigger lia never lived- So much for not being carried away by honey ed words and serious faces, in church or in your conventions. One more incident: In the days of the Alliance the brethren brought a warehouse in my coun- we unhesitatingly clare that any one who will try a bottle of VINOL will have their money returned without Question if they are not satisfied that it did them good. JOHN M KLEIN. Druggist. Walterboro. S. C. fellow 2 ever saw as manager. He knew just how to shake hands right He knew how tp “set ’em up’’ to soda water, lemonade or anything else that suited vour taste. He was the kind of fellow that gave you one or two slaps on the back, inquir ed after the folks and you walked right into his trap. After he got in office, he stole everythin he could get hiS\ hands on an left the state. Of course, his bondsmen had several thousand dollars to pay. They were to blame, too, for there was not a single one of them who had fair intelligence, but knew to start with that, that fellow was a grand rascal. But—they just couldn’t resist him as a hand shaker and a jollier. I cite these incidents simply to illustrate the vital necessity of carefulness and self-control in selecting the officers you are go- ingto choose in December. These men are to have in their keeping the power for advance ment or retrogression of the Farmers’ Union m your com munity. Don’t elect the hand shaker; select those who are able and faithful. After you do it, f ive them a fair and square deal orgive them small mistakea, if they are not serious Injuries to the organization. When you ballance up. don’t forget to watch the cwbit as well as the credit of their ledgers of charac ter and accomplishment Don’t believe every nasty or matoidous story you hear about them, but investigate to See if its true, and if it to not pay no more atten tion to the man who started it Your officials must live in com fort to give you good service. Don’t grudge a few pennies on their salaries. It is by the observance of these principles that we are entering upon the greatest era in the his tory of any tanners’ onganiza- tion. Only as they are increas ingly enforced, will the Farmers’ Union accomplish its mission. Watch out who you elecf in December! Give him a fair showing after you elect him! Charles S.
