SIX AND TWENTY CORRESPONDENT THINKS BY SO DO. INGA Gltfc?T MISTAKE WAS MADE-OTHER MATTERS. I . Williamston, Oct. 12.-If the. j 'farmers of thc South and West i x had taken the advice of the far mers unton and stuck to the principles as taught by that or . ganization what would the re ^Wilts b? today? They didn't ? ^grasp the opportunity when it I presented itself and what is the g: result? Because the other fellow. ? didn't stick, and because we I ^idn't stick someone else didn't g * and so it has gone on and on uh I til thc union has dwindled down I' * to a verv sm??ll number, and with I ? out a doubt the ?few who have I stood to the back are today ten I times bctler off than those who quit carly in the fight. .Those who have been. guided ,by the i teachings of thc union will scarce ? ? ly feel thc depression that has now got thc entire country in its fcrasp. Having failed to take thc advice of others who had our best interests at heart, and to follow thc dictates of our own conscience and lise' ''common sense, who have wa got to blame for our present condition but our selves, lt is within ourselves thai misery has fixed its seat. Our disordered hearts and misplaced desires are thc instruments of trouble which wc .now. , endure. There are those today who are liv j jJng in case and plenty and know PiOTwthing about the scenes o sor? distress which are at this time passing in aU parts of ; the world* millions struggling for a poor substitute to support the wife and children whom they ..love, and who look up to them with eager eyes for the necessaries of life which they can hardly procure. How do we knOW 'but' that ithe present troubles will turn out |to be the greatest blessing . that j we ha.ve ever rceiyed.
