t~y,- - ; THE FARMERS' j UNION BUREAU. Koaducled by S. C. Farmers' Union Address all communications intended for this tuelumu to J. C. Stribling, Pendleton ,S. C. , ^ At the second anuual meeting of tthe South Carolina division of the Farmer's Uuiou held at Greenwood 25-27 of July, about 850 members were present in executive session. These men of the farms wore up?>a their countenances a determined look that means much. They feel tgure of their ability to maintain the jjositioQ they have taken in manag tag caeir uwa auatrs iu lum unu way and their success verifies this pinion. National President C. S. Barnette +? Atwater, Ga , addressed the meetling at 8 o'clock for a period of tao fc#*rs Among other things, be said the Union was now more bar oaoaious ban any other farmers' organisation had ever been in the South before. The average growth of the union is now over 3,000 mem?bers a day some days it reaches 5,"000 and 6,000 new members. The enrolled membership now is over one and a half millions. None of the State organizations tias any debts and there is more or ftess money in the treasury of every State organization. The national treasurer has considerable money to this credit One of the moat important things vq connection witn the Farmers' union is the tale now current that the orgnaization ia affiliated with the Federation of Labor. Much has been said about this matter of affili, acion with the general federation i , and the attitude of many good and conservative men on the outside has been undecided towards the organization pending a statement of its position. President Barrett was ask* ed this question: "Is the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union affilated with the American Federation of Labor*' The answer was -"No," and iu his address to the meeting here he cautioned the memtbers to "go slow about affiiliating "with any organization." He further said: Why should we affiliate srhen the Farmers' union is now strong enough and powerful enough to accomplish anything that it wants Uo, that is just and right?" The second session of the Partners' union opened at 9 o'clock -JJuly 28. Pres. 0. P. Goodwin called the meeting to order and in* troduoed Hon. G. M. Davis of At. ftaata, Ga., State organizer of the ^Georgia division. Mr. Davis was Che sole speaker of the evening and spoke for about two hours. He unade a good, sound, practical talk, --and one that the delegates have talked about more than (hat oi any other. He spoke of the harmonious working of the Georgia union and told of the magnificent appropriation by the State of Georgia for agricultural district schools and urged ?hat South Carolina take steps aloug this same liue. He said: "You kuow everybody says the farmer, won't Stick, but the farmers of Georgia | who wou't stick to the Union get.: -stuck." In regard to the high) price of cotton, he said that 25-cent cotton would ruin the farming invest of the South. It would cause vthe mill people to quit spinning and ..go to producing cottou. Speaking of politics and the *nuch mooted question of politics! ruining the organization that allows ; ^politics, Mr. Davis said: "That as rihe natural government has instituted a strict quarantine against cattle ticks, so the Farmers' union had in-1 . iiituted a strict quarantine against j ??'?xitics." At the close of his speech j ti.e evening closed. The tirst meeting today was called to order at 9 o'clock. The court house was well tilled. Hon. T. T. Wakefield of AnderI .*c.u, president of the Andersoncoun-! ity union and vice president of the ,State division, introduced the following resolutions are the wcrk of the committee on the operation in .cotton baling, handliug and marketing. The resolutions is as follows: *'*Wefavora system of uniform i biling of cottoQ into packages 24 inches wide by 36 iuches long; that ! the cotton be coveied neatly and | securely with any serviceable wrapping, our preference being given to cotton wrapper; that we approve the | cotton union system of marketing co'ton." At 11 a. m., National President U. S. Barrett made an address to the general public in the court house. He stated among other things that lie had talked Farmers' union so much that he had about forgotten everything else he ever kuew. He said that the Farmers' unions of the South now own and operate 1,000 warehouses of their own. "We do not own or operate any stores," he said. The man who dou't stick himself is the oae who is always saying the other fellow won't stick. The old farmer has got enough of partisan politics. The Farmers' anion stands for more improvement in rural schools Only one of the whole number of the present national officials of the Farmers' union has ever held any political office or been in politics. The following officers were elected at an executive session this afternoon: President, 0. P. Goodwin, Laurens. Vice president, T, T. Wakefield, Anderson. Secreterv-treasorer. B. F. Earle. * ' ' Anderson. Chaplain, A. B. 31ack, Greenville. A State organizer is to beelecteded by the executive committee at a later date. Quite a number of delegates have expressed their desire for the Georgia orgauizer, Mr. Davis, and it is probable that an effort will be made to secure his services in this State. The other officers are: H. T. Campbell, doorkeeper; S. W. Wideman, conductor; .T. Wade Dix* on, and W. E. Hlfpkina, seargeantsat-arms; executive committeemen, J. B. Pickttt, W. L. Anderson, J. C.
