>*= < . I " THE FARMERS' UNION BUREAU. Conducted by S. C. Farmers' Union. Address all communications intended for this column to J. C. Stribling, Pendleton S. C. Lost. On account of the abolition of bucket shops bylaw in several of the cotton states, four New York cot.ton exchanges have recently busted and another large cotton exchange that did a business of $38,000, in 1905 per month did a business of only $5,000 per month in 1906. Now we want everv county in South Carolina to call a meeting at once of farmers and others and demaud that our present legislature abolish both the lien law and cotton exchanges in this State. Both these are in league together to rob the Sooth of its profits in her cotton crops. Corporation That Won Out and Saved $25 Per Bale on Cotton, In early fall mvself and other long staple cottou growers tried the mills and buyers to sell our cottcn, but could not get our prices until after the long staple cotton growers of South Georgia and South Carolina and others got together and agreed to hold nutil fair prices could be bad. Before this meeting was held "^*Bome got tired out, some selling at 10 1-2 cents and some at 11 cents, v Soote of the mills in the early season claimed that the? could not use our otton but are now glad to get it at a ad-ranc* of from 5 to 5 1-2 cents er pound All this was the result >f the strong determination and cooperation with the long staple cotton growers This gain of $25 per bale brought about by intelligent co operation by the growers shouId point out a precedent to guide other cotton growers, who could easily have gotten 12 cents per pound for all good middling cotton this year just an easy as the long staple growers got their prices. We are feeling good over the success of our long staple cott on growers. The lien law is an arm of the New York Cotto i excnange and in turn the New Yirk Cotton excbauge holds the mortgaged cotton fa-nun in leash, as the banter holds hi? hounds. Knock out of the sooth the lieu law and the New York Cotton exchange shops, then cotton growing and cotton marketing can be placed in the hands of intelligent men, which will make it easy to conduct the whole cotton business in a busings like way to the greatest interest and profit of the whole Sooth. Mr Hedden, a noted banker of Atlanta, in his address before the Bankers' association at St Louis, said in partas follows: "British capitalists furnish New York agents with money to lend to Southern merchants to advance sapplies to Southern farmers." "The fanners produce the cotton, and before it was harvested the mortgage that rested npon it from the i time the seed went into cue grounu, vu harrying it on to the Britishers who famished the money for its production." Cotton farmers about this time of the year may look oat for that annual notice through the papers about England, Germany, France and other countries going into producing their own cotton which puts Southern cotton growers on notice to plan I more cotton or lose the trade. The South Should Plaut less liens on crops and fewer gambling houses and cotton exchanges, and inaugurate more corn congresses and due stock shows. Kock Hill's manly and pluck] mayor Mr Roddey, says: "The New York exchange is not only a great i- ud but a great farce on its face ItiKrths only "bunco" game allowec in the United States, where a mac pretends to sell something and not allow his customer to know what h? is baying. It ie praotically th< same as going in to a store and say ing I will buy a suit ot clothes, basi i *20, but at the same time the sellei I not even allowing you to know whether you receive a $3 75 suit or a $50 one. The nerve of it and the ignorance of the South e? long is ; quite disgusting. Of course they should be wiped out of existence or the Louisiana state Lottery, gambling i houses and all banc > games be allowed It is indeed a pleasure to see j J the South becoming educated, fori i this curse has cost the south morel than the civil war.''

Senior Senator frca South Carolina as Iton and Pnhlinlsl. i New York Sun. Here is a man occupying a ! ; seat in a Southern Railway train, llis head rests low in the window corner and his feet projected over the back of the seat i in front of him. Ilis attitude his whole air, his demeanor, betray an elaborate and aggresive brutality. He attracts the attention of every one in the car, and one would say that hej enjojed it. In an apartment two men are I seated. One of them is a visitor and his back is turned toward ! an open door through which j the air and the sunshine pene-J I trate. The two talk freely and i j amicably about a matter of pub-1 ' lie moment and they reach conclusions which coincide. Suddenly the host's manner changes; his voice is pitched in a key of violence; he pours forth execrations and foulness upon j his ustonished guest and gesticj ulates like a man enraged. iThen, as precipitately as he began, he resumes his manner of before and says to the visitor, whose discomposure is only too apparent: ''Oh, never mind i that: there were two of those damned 'Wool Hats' listening at the door, and it they'd heard me talking like that to a railroad : lawryer I'd never get another I vote in the country!" The late Senator Hoar found j Senator Tillman a most interest intr and agreeable man. He has , j excellent blood in his veins, as jgood as ever enriched the colony of Virginia. He is a j man who has read both widely and well. Even a very brief intercourse reveals him as a r?#?r?r?n of cultivation and of I r- -- broad intellectual resource. He not only makes an excellent impression to begin with, but reveals himself upon acquaintance as an attractive character, a man from whom one parts with reluctance and a man of whose latent force it is not possible that one should remain unconscious. Considerable men, men themselves of parts and station, have been powerfully affected by the curious and paradoxical problem which the South Carolinian presents, and have sought its solution. They have done ( this in the friendliest spirit, a spirit animated by something bordering on affection for the i man as they had learned tt discern him. They have penetrated far enough to discuss Tillman with himself, and they , made no concealment of their purpose or their hope, which . was that the dual personality might be rent apart and that the real Tillman, as they apprehended him, might divorce . and put away from him his Ti. T 1 worser nan. n n<i& uccn vi 3 avail. The man in his intimicies is as frank and Open as a f child. He makes no avoidanee r that he is only playing: a part; t" and his confidence being in f his part alone, be, as in I common with all actors, l will relinquish his role only t when he can perform it no long> er. ? This is why, on the Senate . floor, when Tillman speaks, 8 there are these whose emotions r are not of anger alone. Graded School Items. Three members of the tenth grade were sick several weeks? no wonder?but we are glad to report that they are all at their post this week. The tentii grade began physics sometime ago, and it is very interesting-, especially to girls. Most of the simpler ex periments are performed i:i the class room. Hallie cCollough from Taft entered school last week. Great interest has been shown in our library this year; about t .no hundred loans have been made. oh! we just love to study during this cold weather. BINti'S DYSPEPSIA TIRI FTS ? V VI VI wm Reliev# Indigestion and Stomach Troubles STUART, THE PAINTER. Curious Hits Born of His Faculty re." Reading Faces. "I don't want people to look at my pictures and say how beautiful the drapery is. The face is what 1 care about," said Stuart, tiie great American painter. He was once a iked what he considered the most characteristic feature of the face, lie replied by pressing the end of his pencil against the tip of his nose, distorting it oddly. His faculty at reading physiognomy sometimes made curious hits. There was a person in Newport celebrated for his powers of calculation, but in other respects almost an idiot. One day Stuart, being in the British museum, came upon a bust whose likeness was apparently unmistakable. Calling the curator, l.c said. "1 see you have a head of 'Calculating Jemmy/" "'Calculating Jemmy!'" repeated the curator in amazc./cnt. "That is the head of Sir Isaac Newton." On another occasion, while dining with the Duke of Northumberland, his host priviivcalled his attention to a gentleman and asked the painter if he knew him. Smart had never 6een him before. "Tell me what 6ort of a man he is." "I may speak frankly?" "By all means." "Well, if the Almighty ever wrote a legible hand he is the greatest rascal that ever disgraced society/' It appeared that the man was an attorney who had been detected in sundry dishonorable acts. Stuart's daughter tells a pretty story of her father's garret, where many of his unfinished pictures were stored: "The garret was my playground, and a beautiful sketch of Mme. Bonaparte was the idol that I worshiped. At last I got possession of colors and an old panel and fell to work copying the picture. Suddenly I heard a frightful roaring sound. The kitchen chimney was on fire. Presently my father appeared, to see if the fire was likely to do any damage. He saw that I looked very foolish at being caught at such presumptuous employment and pretended not to see me. But presently he could not resist looking over my shoulder. " 'Why, boy,' said he?so he used to address me?'you must not mix your colors with turpentine. You must have some oil.'" It is pleasant to add that the little girl who thus found her inspiration eventually became a portrait painter of merit. PINE SALVE ACTS LIKE A POULTICE RELIEVES ALL FORMS OF SKIN DISEASE P.

Where He Stood Out. One day at a dinner party, Thorn as Ihiikes teils us in his diary, Johi Wilson Croker, who was nothing i not dogmatic, flatly contradicte* the old Duke of Wellington abou some incident in the Waterloo cam paign. The duke gave up the poin courteously. Shortly after the die cussion fell upon percussion caps and Croker again flatly contradict ed the hero of Waterloo. "My dea Croker," said the duke, "I can yieli to your superior information 0] most points, and you may perhap know a great deal more of wha ; passed at Waterloo than myself, bu as a sportsman I will maintain m; point about the percussion caps." \ F\ liot aad Potuslaa.) r ALL FORMS AND STAGES OF ? ? will regale iMk u4 streagtk. mm Waateef energy end all dlaaeeMraaaltiaf tnm tk? ?*luai innwt Iff mmm ue nae <* p. p. p. ladlea wkoeetytt?a are pihoed aad wkeeii blood Is In ea taper* *cadltl*a dea H im as treat lrregelaritiM ar? poceliarly jjjgJ beaeiUd by tba wonderful tonic aad fknRnFiiiA W WI1VI %r Ml ( bloW eloo.itinf prop?rtlM at P.
