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*

it is hard for food, even in
small quantities, to be digested when

At this season we should eat spar*

The Richland county dispensarj
board is worried or^r the disposition
of the samples on h*nd. It appear*
that the Carev-Coihran act mad<
no provision for receiving samples
and at the last purchase made bj
the board it was stated iu the advertisement
that bids only were
wanted.
However a large supply of samples
was received and the board yesterday
wanted to dispose of them.
It was discovered that they conld
not be given away, because they belonged
to the county and the board
had no right to dispose of them
gratis. After much discussion it
was decided to place all of them in
the various dispensaries for sale
Hereafter the county treasurer will
be advisbd uot to accept them and
the quarterly advertisement will
contain the clause that no sample*
will be accepted. This is the ad.
vice given several county boards by
Attorney tieneral Lyon,?The State.
