Kiiiinn Grass and Plantina Grass.
Last week we taw two men dig- '
ging up Bermuda grass roots out of
their cotton patches and another
farmer hanling these same loots to
his farm planting the loots out on
the same kind of land near by.
This may remind you that it takes
good grass aud little work to grow
fat stock and a deal sight of hard
? work, guano aud other things too
worrying to meution to grow cotton.
We know of some men that are
trying to kill out the whiskey evil
by keeping it out of the country,
while others are trying to kill out
all the whiskey in the land by bringi*n?
if in and rdrinkintr itun.
O i. Now
anil then some little cub of
a cotton bear, or a little pig of a
corporation hog, reminds the Farmers'
Union of the fact that we
should discuss these subjects of such
fital interest to the South upon a
highjplane. Well, now, we agree in
part to this. Boys, don't aim too
high, don't over-shoot the thing.
Draw your bead at just the right
plane to hit the game; let 'em have
it broadside iu a manner to bring
' your game to the earth.
Don't Quarrel Over (he Skin Before
Too Kill the Cotton Bear.
Ever see rabbit beagles stop chasing
a rabbit to quarrel over the game
before the rabbit was caught? No,
these have more common animal
sense than some of we C'ottou Asso

who pop up now and then and go to'
quarreling with each other about
who is entitled to the skiu of the
cotton bear before the old heifer
has been killed.
It matters little to the average
cotton grower who kills out the cotton
bear and speculating element
just so we get them out of the way.
The great rank and file of the Far- j
mers' Union and the Cotton Asso
< ciation are more interested in com
biuine the forces of the two organi-;
zatbns for good strength and hard,
fighting on ^utton prices next fall J
than we are in elevating tbe interests
of a few officials in both oigauization3
wbo keep up strife for theii
own selfish ends.
Violations of the S. C. Fertilizer Law
Clemson College collected $1.334.09
penalty money from eleven
companies for sending out fertilizers
below grade and other violations of
the law last year. If there is oue
fanner in the State who has collect- j
ed one dollar penalty money or shot tage,
which they can do, we have not
heard of it. Farmers, you are sun- j
ply sleeping over your privileges.
We calculate that at least $7,000
could have leeu recovered bv the
farmers if they had kept up with
these violators by leading up on
these fertilizer bulletins that are being
sent out from Clemson College.
If your county business agent can- j
not tell you how to proceed to recover
shortage and penalty, write W
C Moore Greenville, S C\, your State
business agent. He, uodoub', will

up for you.
It is io the credit of the fertilizer
companies to state here that 11 ont
of 12 companies who fell short last
year settled up claims promptly; only
one company who is charged S6C0
on eight below grade samples is still
contesting Clemson's claim for penalty.

love among ourselves.
To gather the tears of the distressed,
the blood of the martyrs,
the laugh of innscent childhood, the
sweat of honest labor, the virtue of a
happy home?the brightest jewels
known.
One of the greatest questions still
unsolved is how to make life more
bearable by filling it with the every
day relation between the people as
they move along the highways of life
together. It is the little courtesies
that we have learned as human beings
to extend to one another that
almost more thau anything else make
lift worth the iiviug.
If we could make everyone realize
he cau never do his duty to his fellow
men by giving money or material
gifts without their sympathy and
love. |
A man that boards his money and
refuses to help his fellow-mau is
called mean and stingy. You have
no more moral right to hoard your
sympathy and love than you have
your mouey. Life is too short to
think of nothing but the almighty
dollar. The worst feature of it is
that in this mad chase for it, it turns
the hand of every one of ns against
his neighbor, and our neighbor
against us.
It makes that heart that ought to
be throbbing with love an abode of
hate. By the cultivation of a spirit
of sympathy, sociability, love and
helpfulness in the Union the
home and the church will have a
new ally, constituting a powerful
ageucy for good.
To eucourage individual honesty
and sobriety, thrift and the
noblest unselfish work should always
be oui aim in the Union.
It's better to fall out than it is to
be kicked out.
How thiugs that are none of our
business do interest us.
Tiy to content with your lot even
if it is not a cornet lot.
A good thing about being too
poor is you dou't have to have cooks.

! "From now on, it will be a fight
in the open between the president
and his enemies. The time for
beating about the bush has ended,
and all the world will be
able to see the prettiest scrap
that has been pnlled off for
many years."
This was the comment today
of a late high administration
official who stands very close
to the president. Continuing
he said:
"The president cordially welcomed
the opportunity of placing
Harriman in the list of his
enemies. Instead of saying in
his speeches hereafter that be
despises demagogues of all
kinds, he will come boldly out
and declare that the hates men
like Harriman. He has placed
him on the same level with
! Debs, Mover and Hey wood.
"He feels that the enmity of
such a man is to be courted.
Certainly so long as Harriman
stands for what he does, he (the
president) does not want his
friendship. The people at large
will choose between them and
will make no mistake.''
The scheme of the people behind
the anti-Roosevelt movement
is to buy newspapers
public men and others, who may
assist the opponents of the presi
dent in their work.
The men behind this movement
are E H Harriman, J Pierpont
Morgan, the Rockefellers
aud other Standard Oil interests,
the tobacco trust and certain
other capitalist combinations
which have suffered from the
president's activity. The
movement is much like
what is known as the "Rich
Men's Conspiracy 1904,''
when, at a meeting Harriman,
* i i. i I :
so uie presiaeni nas utrcu informed,
solemnly expressed his
conviction that he could deliver
the delegates to the Republican
convention from Iowa, Kansas.
Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado and
California to an anti-Roosevelt
man. Investigation demonstrated
that.this claim was preposterous.
It was apparent from what
the president said to newspaper
men that he is not all concerned
about the movement which has
been started against him. The
president is quite content to
accept the gage of battle offered
by Harriman and the other
trust magnates. It is out of
the question now for him and
Harriman ever to resume friendly
relations. The publication
of Harriman's letter to Sidney
Webster, Stuy vesant Fisli's
brother-in-law, alleging that
the president begged him to
collect contributions to save the
national ticket and of the presisident's
response through Representative
Sherman, of New
York, end any chance of co operation
in the future.
