Messrs Editors; I wish to tell our Progressive Farmers readers about our Co-operative telephone system. Four or five years ago some of the neighbors started up the telephone tc-lk and very soon there were a lot of them ready to go into it. When crops were laid-by, the are too apt to believe that a man ia baptized of all sins the mom* t he ie inltl&ted. Because he ia affil iated with them, they, or at least many of them, cannot conceive thht he can do wrong. Hundred* of 'thousn-nds of members of the Fed eration were led Into the belr f that there was a gigantic conspiracy from the outside to crush union la ; , bor, aixl that these two men were scapegor.'s. We have had, and still have. In .the Farmers’ I’nion, v class that I is firmly convinced that the entire world is arrr-ytd against the Farm ers’ Union. While it must be admitted that a certain percentage are antagonistic to farmers' orgair-izations, we believe that the larger part of society at large is in sympathy with our Pur- fj'“many ‘ friends' poses. We have scourged many false prophets, many firebrands, many malcontents from without the Farm ers’ Union. We must scourge more until the membership is made up wholly of fr-ithful, law-abiding and irdustrlcus individuals. I make | the assertion, unqualifiedly, and without fer-r of successful contra diction, that every farmers’ move ment, every other popular move ment, that has fallen in 'histoVy j owes its collapse not to outside but to inside influences. Here ar»d there outside fees must, of course, be watched for r-nd combatted. But if there is no hypocrlcy within. If there is no aligning of class against class, no lashing of prejudices, and if there Is Incessant watchfulness to distinguish the false from the | by merit, to refuse came out into the road, c>nd as soon as he got near enough < rosov began to cut.

I have been investtgatlog the con dition of my offlfce\ and I find it will bo tmpoMlbl* ^o pay any claims out of thejo/dinary county fund*, for the season that these fund* have been lexhaueted. The demand* oa the 4 Will ordinary tax hava been too heavy; the chain> poor farm aad all county* exv being supported therefrom. Theoe claim* will ha paid a* soon aa possible. Every effort is being made with this in view. D. E. Smoak, ' County Supervisor .Walterboro, 8. C., Dee. It, Itll. 13 miles. Then sixteen men put in ai:< order for telephones and the cost of the line wae divided be tween these men, and was about $4 each besides the work. It took us about four days to complete the line. Everybody who wlshee, uses the line free. We have connection with our doctor and our market, and connection with a private or toll line, that for the use of our line gives us the use of its line, and we can get another maffeet'or other doctors when wanted . Our telephone syetem has given so much satisfactory service that the original sixteen telephones have increased to more than forty on the main line and eight or ten on a spOr line to another market. Our ma4n line is overloaded,, for it Is claimed that the 1,600 ohm ringer telephones can only ring about thirty boxes satisfactorily. The 2,600 ohm ringers would give much better results where there are over thirty phones on the line. I would advise any neighborhood in building a line where they think it may become heavily* loaded to request each patron to buy & 2,600 ohm ringer telephone. Our first work on repairing the line was done by all the neigh bors working, but we saw that as caly a few men could work at a time that it would be cheaper to pay pne or two men to do the re pair work, so most of our tine is kept up now by each man paying 26 cents for a man to go over the Hno and put In new poles, where they are needed and cut off any limbs or vine« that are against the wire. When we built our line we put in good heart pine poles on most of it and when we repaired it the first time we "put up good heart- pine poles where other material had been used in building. We have another line In this lo cality built by the farmers on the same plan of ours that has been built two or three years longer than ours, ard its patrons are also well pleased with the service. We also have lines built by par ties where they rent the telephones by tbe month, or a-ny patron can buy bis phone and pay for the use of the line by the month. Bat anyone can see that the co operative plan la the cheapest for the fe-rmer, for his telephone and pro rata share on the line will coet al political situation today and see the assertion verified. * Do not come under the delusion that all men are holy just because they Jo|t:< the Farmers’ Union. Make up your mind vigorously ’ to | watcjfc out for, discredit, disbelieve and cast away those who are un worthy, who misrepresent and who mislead you. That wr-y* lies salva tion for the Farmers’ Union, or any other popular organization. Charles S. Barrett. Union City, G* , Dec. 21, mi. ' THE ROAD IMPROVEMENT TRAIN IK COMING This Train Is Oprrard by ’Hie .Uni ted Htates Government And The Atlantic Coast Line R. K. The Atlantic Coast Line Road Improvement Train, which left Richmond, Va. ( on Nove*mber 24th, he.s entered our State, ard will be with us until January 13th. This train consists'of an engine and four car*, as follows: Two coaches, one of which is used for stereoptice-n views and the other contains models of road- worklr-g machinery, operated by electricity, and models of good road as well e-s a large collection of in structive photographs. A private car for the accommoda tion of the Government Experts and Atlantic Const Line representr-Mves. and one baggage car. Laree, enthusiastic crowds have mjet this train at every stop if* Vlrsripta r"d North Carolina, and ex pressed themselves as being high- lj* pleased w'.*h the free illustrated lecture and the exhibit car, both of which proved to be Very Instructive as well as interesting. At a* good many places, the crowds were so large that moving picture halls and theatres had to be secured in order to accommodate them rnd at other places, when the halls could rot be secured, U was necessary to give two lectures in the coach, so as to give all sn opportunity to her-r it. As previously stated, this train i«» operated hy the Atlantic Coast Line, under the aurpicies of the United States Office of Public Roads. We know our people will give this train a hearty reception and i*ke advantage of the opportunity to learn all they can about the con struction and maintenance of good roads, as there is nothing more Im- if you are really compelled to drop the cotton crop, simply go to farming as farmers do elsewhere Adopt a rotation of crops. Grow peas for hay. Then oats i.^aii* 011 the pea stubble with liberal appli cations of acid phosphate or Thom as phosphate. Follow with peas t-jain, and sow crimson clover or vetch on the pea stubble and man ure with the manure made from feeding corn: stover and the pea hay turn all under it * the spring for corn and then repeat the rota tion, and my word for it, you will soon get into shape to not miss the cotton. Yon will have forage and gn-in for cattle ard hogs. Then you can lay off a series of, say. four lota and fence them and on these keep up a constant succession of crops for hogs to gc-ther like rape crimson clover, cow peas, sweet po tatoes, etc., that will carry the hogs through winter and summer till time to fatten otj corn. There is not the slightest need for hunting up strange crops, but simply to farm well with the regular farm crops. But if I were farming in the weevil-infested sections, I would certainly make a strong fight be fore giving up cotton as part of a good farm rotationf—Prof. W. F.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for dcubt. -Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a -sensa tion of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells ma.y occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright’s disease, or diabe tes. Acy one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often Vroves fatal. Yon can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here’s Walterboro proof: Mrs. H. W. Benton, Cotton Mill District, Walterboro, 8.

(The following Appeal for the eorse is from the pen of F. H. Bugher, first Deputy Police Commissioner of the Metropolis) To Tliee, my Master, / offer my prayer: ( * \ i Feed me, water and care for me, and when the day’4 work is done provide me with shelter, a clean, dry bed and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort. Talk to me. Your voice often means as much to me a* the reins. Pet me sometimes, that I may serve you more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going up hill. Never strike, beat or kick me when 1 do not understand what you want, but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me. and if 1 fail to do vour bidding, see if something is not wrong with my harness <*• feet. Examine my teeth when 1 do not eat. 1 may have an ulcer ated tooth, and that, you know, is very painful. Do not tie my head in an annatural position, or take auay my best defense against Hies and mosquitoes by cutting oT my tail. And finally, 0 my Master, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner to be slowly tortured and starved to death; but do Thou, my Master, take my life in the kindest way <and your God will reward you here and thereafter. You will not consider me irreverent if I ask you this in the name of Him who was born in a stable. Amen. My Further Appe&L Remember, 0 my Master, that my strength and the service 1 can give you depends upon the feed and care you give me. Give me good, wholesome food in required quantities, and keep roe clean, then I can serve you to the last ounce of my strength. Do not harness me to a poorly conatructed, heavy-pulling- wagon—it will, exhauat my strength without profitable service to you. Use wisdom in your selection of the wagon I am to draw— S t it be one of thoee easy-running wagons—THE WHITE ICKORY WAGON. I can puli twice as much load with the same exertion, and it will take lea feed to keep me in condition, all of whish means dollars to you. The WHITE HICKORY WAGON is built on scientific prin ciples and will reserve my vitality and keep me fresh and strong for the next day's work. * Therefore, my good Master? heed my advice. * Your Faithful Hqrse.
