In the development and training of Our leaders in the Farmers' Union both enemies and friends are useful. < Because you are a member of a strong Farmers' Union, whose mem bers are of the strongest, don't fool 1 yourself into doing some dirty trick, ( thinking your Union will uphold < you in it?they should not and will , not do it. 1 ! i If the late frost in April killed , out the potato bug, would it take ( something like a freeze in June to j kill off the two-legged humbugs? ( The reason why we don't have ^ more to say about growing crops is ^ because farmers are ahead on the , knowledge of how to produce good j crops, but miserably behind on the ^ knowledge of how to market their , products. ' <' * (1 We all can understand why au over-production of perishable crops invariably terminates in loss to pro- * oucerj. But in the case of cotton c an imperishable article and one of the best collaterals, and a current 1 article of trade the world over, 1 U should not suffer depreciation in r Talue if producers have warehouse, facilities for storing tbeir cotton. Instead of reasonably large crops 1 (? cotton bringing less money to pio?ducers, as has been the case hereto- } fore, it is oue of the prime objects 0 of the Farmers' Union in the South a to now handle the selliug and of 1 their crops by protecting themselves ^ with a strong system of warehouses that will insure cotton growers against ih<> unreasonable practice of a getting less nnney tor good crops e than we have been getting for poor t <5rop3. f s Be Humble and Thankful. r Just because the Farmers' Union is e uow very strong and powerful, its e members must not act the i'ool try- li iog to ruin necessary occupation t just simply because some member a has a grudge against some one a engaged in that business. a Instead of being haughty and t tyrannical over this your fourth round in winning out on your own I jprices for cotiou, you should be s -humble and thankful to the God of 1 equity tor your deliverance out of n l 1 i L I _ 1 . l v;ue wuuerness uramoies anu morns tha! you have been waideriig and struggling through for over forty years. Remember the mistake that Moses made in his manner of tapping the rock for water for his people just when he was in sight of the Promised L?and and th* penalty he paid for this mistake in not being allowed the pleasure and privilege of enter lag this land of peace and plenty he had wandered so long to possess. Farmers' be humble and conscious that you and your organizations may live to see our lovely Southland restored to its original greatness and peace and plenty, that all its people may enjoy the fruits of the good work of other Farmers' Union Tbe Circulating Country Peddler and Agent. i i?.' r * I Aoout mis nine or year tneji country is usually infested with aU roving herd of peddlers and travel -' ing agents, many of which are as|f unscrupulous according to their! calicre as the wo^t cotton exchange i or Wall street gutnbler. Perhaps j j the most numerous class of these ' .ac-amps are the peddlers that deal: ] ?at to tile siinp'c ni:nded, i.jnoru: t ;lass of people many varieties of . heap articles of merchandise ut ?n ilvance of over double the pi ice :liat as cool or better articles emld 3e had in nearby stores or at the places Where the articles are made. But the slicke?t duck of the whole ?a?Lr and the one whose l'ascalitv is J C V best protected and covered up and for the longest period um'ettcted. is the unscrupulous Frait Tr e Agent-. The farmer who has been caught a us a victim of a common cheap peddler will get over this spell about * as quick as he would an ordinary! bad cold or can get in contact with ? a bright neighbor. But if some of ^ our brighter class of farmers haTe ^ caught a case of fruit tree agent I malady fruin an unscrupulous agent he is in it for a siege of from three'1 to ten years befose he can recover. 11 We have before us positive evidence e to establish the fact that some of e our best farmers have bought and 8 paid for?supposed to be and some n few were?of best varieties of apples * and other fruit trees.

J C Stribling, Pendleton, S. 8t C. Dear Sir: After our convention gi I lireenville, where 1 saw so much $] nthusiasm and determination en pt he part of the representatives, 1 n< eel very hopeful for the future:o uccess of our Union. While ij eulize that conventions and confer- tl nces are worthless unless their reommendations are carried out, unrss the representatives go home to i heir subs and explain the intentions t nd purposes of their deliberations \ ,nd thereby enthuse their members A nd get them to think and act along ^ he lines mapped out. I think I s^e lasting good for us ^ >v meeting together at Greenville, ^ o let's go to work as we never done before?intelligently, systematically us md persistently?to upbuild and w levate the Farmers' Union to a ea jiane where it will command the bj esi>eet of the business world and, be ifter doiug this, prove our faith by pi >ur works and make 110 demands m ;hat are not just, but show to every wi cgiuuiaic uuoiijcbs iunt ?c jcojjctw ;heir lights and demand that they espeet ours. ^ With the fight which we ha\e jefore us, with graft and greed vhich has been and is, without oue restige of remorse,stealing from as the ust rewards of our labor, it would te well for us to remember that, to he strong the'battle, to the victor ,he spoil, to the swift the race and o the devil the hind-mo^t; so it >ehooves us to be up and doing ihowing to each individual member j vhat his duty as a union man is? hat he is one cog in the wheel of Jnionism, and that in failing to per-' 'orm his part he impeles.the prop-ess of the whole machinery. Let us place men in the offices who ill the measure of a man to the fullest extent.
