.grand rally and red letter day for
representative farmers of the State.
0 F Pile, of Texas, Ben F Griffin,
or Arkansas, and R F Duckworth,
of Georgia, are to have a talk to the
farmers' organization at the Greenwood
meeting, and we take this opportunity
to put Gieenwood on notice
to spread herself, and imue
room, for the signs are right for
something doing at Greeuwood at
this July meeting of the farmers.
The speaking .at Greenwood will
be public and everybody is invited
to attend. A special invitation is
extended to the yqt unorganized
class of farmers.
Whether delegates or not, we urge
it as a duty to all Farmers' Union
men to attend this Greenwood meeting.
New delegates have equal
rights with delegates to the floor,
but none save regular delegates can
vote at this meeting.
Ro<rir? nnw tn nrenare yourselves
I to pot the right men in the right
places at the coming meeting. For
jour success or failure depends upon
this. Vote for no man for the
poor reason that he is your friend or
comes from vour section. Dou't
try to stop a two-inch hole with a
half inch peg, nor try to trot out a
ten-cent man to a dollar job. Vote
for the right man for the place every-'
time.
AQBOUDcemeot.
? The editor of this Bureau is goiug
to make an effort to attend as many
of the South Carolina Farmers Institutes
this summer as possible,
-and will be delighted to meet aud
talk with the progressive element of
- 1. of tKnso ninnt.
Lr'. liaiClUiVf aw iuvow mvw
^{i. S ?ngs. Njt with a view of teaching
progressive farmers how to farm,
but we are out to learn what our
np-to-date farmers are doing and
how tliey do it, so that I may tell
* Others about it as we pass around
among them. If you think our
Farmers' Uuion Bureau ia on the
right track give us a few encouraging
words and if you think we are
wrong in any May point out tbe
facts and we will thank you.
; - No Doubt About Tbis.
It is the want of will, not the
want of power that makes the farmer
yield tamely to graft and greed.
Does our Farmers' Union local beu*,
gia to look like a last year's bi rd
nest? If so fire it before insects
and spider webs cover it. Then go
to work and organize a new one and
, keep it as lively and hot as a horuet
nest in August.
After analyzing all the more conservative
and intelligent estimates
of the cost of the present crop of
cottou at baud, this bureau can as
sure the growers that this crop of
cotton will cost more per acre to
grow than Mas' ever known before.
The extensive replanting with very
costly seed, the cold Met grassy
weather, with bad stand?and costlv
^ *
labor, combine to make the cost per
acre alarmingly heavy. Just here
it is well for our pricing conventions
to weigh carefully all the3e important
factors of cost of production
Spfnrp their necs are driven down at
f he figures for this crop.
Take Your Choice.
The rich have the most meat, the

poor the best appetite. The rich

the rich have delicacies. The rich

the poor laugh aud sing, and
Joye their families too well to put
the light out of their own life.
Tom Wafsoo is Coming.
You hear that rumbling noise in
the elements about the Farmers'
7Jnion? Well that is a warning
fc-r ' ,
I.
that a storm is coming to this state !
in July; for Tom Watson is booked !
to address the State Farmers' Union |
at Greenwood, S (J, at 11a in,
Thursday July 25. Look out now
for some home niade proph -t to hop
up. An article in the news papers
about the danger ahead by fa-mers'
organizations g?iug into politics,
as tnough farmers were dangerous
and it was the dutv of farmers to do
the voting only while otheis direct
them how to cost their vote.
Efer Think About Tbis?
That whea ihe farmer namea his
price for his products that give him
a reasonable profit, that the farmer
has about the same right to know
how much money the purchaser has
in his pocket to pay for the farmer's
cotton, as the buyer has to know how
much cotton the farmer has in his
warehouse.
If buyers reason tnat they must
have cottou cheaper because farmers
have made better crops, then, farmers
must demand more money for
his cotton because the buyers have
made better profits out of the cotton
than the farmer who made the cotton!
Farmers are to blame for this
state of affairs, it is not the men that
take the profits.
Cottou warehouses may control
the supply of cotton to suit the demand,
just the name as the money
vaults hand out the proper amount
of money to satisfy the demand by
cotton. Cotton will keep about as
long in a good warehouse as money
will keep in a bank. Money may
besaid to have little or no intrinsic
value aud its current trade value is
limited; while cotton's intrinsic value
is recognized the world over aud
will continue to be a current article
of trade in all countries so long as
babies are born naked,

torn* of tho Odd Notion* That Rub
Our Moxiean Nolflhboro.
Mexicans enjoy the well earned
reputation of being one of the moct
superstitious races of the world.
Superstition exists wherever there
is a human being, but Mexico seems
to be the place where all human superstitions
are centered. To such
an extent is this true that superstition
has become almost a kind of religion,
governing every act of the
i people.
. Maidens until they become brides
are urged by their mothers to put
their shoes point against point under
their bed at night to bring happy
dreams, and this will even enable
them to converse with the Virgin
during their sleep.
When rlr&fijjina the ridlt shod
" Q O
(never the left) is put op first. The
buttons of the suit are buttoned upward?that
is, starting with the
lowest and ending at the top. This
I is to signify that we are very low
| here in this earthly planet, but that
' during the day we will try to go upward.
Furthermore, this practice,
if faithfully and constantly observed,
will lead us very high, to heaven
when we die. The contrary will
take us down to inferno.
After one is ready to go out of
his room one must always move the
right foot first. If it happens that
you find at the door of your house
a bunch of hair or hemp it is a
proof that a witch is after you with
some ill purpose, and you must at
once bring some salt and throw four
handfuls as far as you can, one to
the east, another to the west, the
third to the north and the last one
to the south. Then you have nothing
to fear from witches in the
course of the day. But at night
when you retire you must take two
very fine sticks, make a cross with
them and nail it to' your door. No
witches, ghosts or devils will bother
you thereafter.
If before taking breakfast you
happen to see a bla|l cat, three j
lame fellows on one aod the same
street or a corpse it would be better
for you to go back home and stay
indoors for the day, because something
wrong is in store for you.
U> on the contrary, you meet a j
humpback it would be good for you
to shake hands with him, pat his
hump and give him. some money.
If he is a beggar, that will bring you
good luck. Humpbacks are exceptionally
good omens for those who
have lottery tickets. If you buy
one/do not see its number until you
have rubbed it against somebody's \
hump. Then you are sure to win a j
prize.
Nos. 7, 15 and 27 are lucky; j
3, 73 and 41 are unlucky. No.
13 especially is one that never fails
to bring trouble, so never live in a
house or room numbered 13. Be
very careful when you ascend a
staircase with thirteen steps,!never
ride on a car No. 13, and under no
circumstances eat, drink or wear
anything that has coat you 13 cents
or dollars or that you have bought
on the 13th of the month.
! Tuesday and Friday are very bad
omen days, and there is a common
"I'intr tbof do not marrv or
~V"'b ?
start on any business on Tuesday or
Friday.
Black cats, spiders and owls are
very bad omen creatures. Never
keep a black cat at home, be sure
to kill all spiders you see crawling
about your bed and always close
tight your ears when you hear an
owlet hoot. Indians abhor owlets.
They say: "When an owlet sings an
Indian dies. It may be untrue, yet
it always happens."
Butterflies are good or bad
omens, according to their color.
White ones bring happiness. Yellow
ones advise us to maintain
alive our hopes of love or fortune,
and black ones announce that death
is stalking around us or our relatives.
The dog is the greatest iriend of
man. No doubt about that, an he is
endowed with the power of seeing
ghosts, devils and death. When
you hear your dog howling it is
proof that he is warning you against
some evil event.
One thing of apparently small importance,
but which brings fatal re

or cigarettes on the same match.
One of the three persons lighting
their cigars will die within the year.
?Mexican Herald.
The Patron of Painting.
The lady of the newly got riches
determined to become a patron of
art. So she called upon a rather
out of the way picture dealer and
expressed her desire to make some
purchases.
"And who is this by?" she presently
inquired, pointing to a bright
looking work.
"That is a chromo, madam."

that you mention it, I recognize his

we are seuuiug out a numoer 01
statements to onr subscribers who
are in arrears. We don't want to
offend anyone, and we hope that nobody
will be foolish enough to take
umbrage at our asking for what is
'due us. At the same time we would
rather a man would get mad and pay
up than to stay pleased and pay
nothing.
In the near future we have several
notes to meet on paper and material
and it is urgently necessarv to
collect what our subscribers owe us.
Our actoal running expenses are $5o
a week and it is a plain proposition
i hat we caunot continue to issue the
paper unless this mouey is forth
coming. Printers have to be paid
Saturday night, and paper men
won't wait till fall for their money.
Now, we have a number of these
little accounts scattered among
buudredsof people, but it means a
substantial sum to us.
With the price of paper advaucing
every week we simply can't afford to
send the paper any longer to those
who won't pay; so if you are. really
unable to pay and owe us for over a
year, kindly notify as, so that we
can strike your name off our list, as
we don't care to send good money
after bad.
A great many have already settled
their accounts and paid a year ahead.
To tl^em this notice has no reference.
Come, friends, don't delay
longer; but bring or seud us the
dollar or two dollars that you know
we have honestly earned.
