? \ THE FARMERS' UNION BUREAU. Conducted by S. C. Farmers' Union Address all communications intended for this eolutnn to J. 0. Stribling, Pendleton C. Farmers Get Ready. From all orer South (Jirolica comes inquiry ut>om now to proceeu to get up a Farmers* Union and all about tne work of the Farmers' Union. In answer to all these questions will say that the first step is to get fifteen good farmers together ready to be organized, then write to the State Secretary B F Early, Anderson S.C. and get instructions as to I how to proceed to organize and when an organizer can be sent to your section cf the State. / Do Kot Forget This. That at all places where Farmers' Union speakers are to address the people,they are expected to advertise these meetings and make all local arrangements to suit themselves, and to meet the speakers at the railroad. In oar travels over tbe State the cheering sight of the finest corn crops ever seen in the State greets the traveler in nearly every section. Fortified with the corn and feed Orops aud entrenc hed behind oyer one thousand cotton warehouses and increasing our membership at an average of more than three thousand per day, the Farmers' Uaion jnstly feels proud of its grand success. Farmers, stand firm to your original principles and guard against the influences of the wily demagogue politician and the demagogue newspaper, and all the coiton bears on earth cannot climb over or dig under your fences. Tbe Farmers' Rally Meeting of Oconee county, South Carolina, to oome off at Oakway near Seneca on tbe 21st of August, bids fair to be the largest gathering of farmers in that section in years. The speaker on that occasion will be fresh from the field and in good shape to tell the people abont the grand campaign of the Farmers' Union all over the Somh and especially abont what has been done in &QQth Carolina and Georgia. Two of the worst enemies of the Farmers' Union that we are now np to are the demagogue in onr ranks and tome inconsistent newspaper men on the outside that are at it all the while warning the Farmers' Union of the dangerous demagogue and at the same time advocating' the importation of low grade immigrants for . the use of cotton mills. Now it does look like any man with even ordinary intelligence should know that this low grade immigrant class ot people fcre the very best supporters of demagoguery on the face of the earth. Hence we warn the Union against the influence of either the demagogue politician or these demagogue newspaper men. One of these is as dangerous as the other is. There is some significance about this continual harping about the affiliation of the Farmers' Unfon with the Federation of Labor and the demagogue that smacks of pure rot when it is known that these same newspapers have always opposed far mere' organizations and catered to the interest of corporations. Whereas, the population of these United States of America is being constantly, rapidly and as we think most unwelcomely increased by an overwhelming tide of foreign immigration composed largely of paupers, criminals, and otherwise undesirable immigrants; and, Whereas, seeing the strenuous efforts being made by some of the Southern States to encourage the foreigners to come into this Southland of ours and viewing such efforts with alarm and gieat disfavor, that we join in the great battle crv, abolish foreign immigration; and, Whereas, seeing that a large part of the troubles and disturbances in this country arise from foreign ideas promulgated by the foreign element of our population, politically socially, religiously or otherwise and that before we were afflicted with I ? j these hordes of criminal, and ieck| le6s foreigners, lockouts, socialism, anarchy and many other evils were practised very little if any; and, Whereas, we feel and know that we have the purest and highest type i of Anglo-Saxon civilization on earth ^ . . T here in the Southern states ana earnestly deeirir.g to keep it such at least here in this bright sunny South 1 Carolina of ours; and, Whereas, we feel and know, with 7 7 the accursed jug traffic that the express companies aie foisting upon our people and ruining so many of j cur young men and older ones too. with the Sabbath breaking foreiguiers mixed with a class of low, degraded Sunday drinking boys for j them to mix with would make darkest Africa blush. 1st. Resolved that we are determined that as far as in our power lies to keep our splendid inheritance for ourselves, onr children and our children's children and strive to better fit and prepare them for the daily avocation of life and citizenshin. r. 2nd. That we,the Bishop Branch Local No. 28 of Anderson county Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union of America, are unalterably .irrevocably opposed to foreign immigration of any kind and in Any manner whatever and if they do come of their own accord let them prove themselves by making good citizens. Respt snbmitted, A H Mitchell Chairmau Committee. Above resolution adopted by Union aDd ordered published. G W Gaillard, Sec. Id leBsriM. On June 23, 1907, God called from this world the spirit of Rev J ERichbourg,a well known and much loved minister. His death has caused a shadow of sadness to fall upon his many friends. We do not forget him. We have already wept and mourned his tarly death and will cherish the remembrance of his ? i mt. I cnaracier anu precepw. xuc church in which he has labored and his example will long commemorate his dear aud gentle spirit that lived and moved among ns for a little season, but now has soared upward to a fairer clime. Mr Ricbboorg was of a cheerful disposition and his kind words and bright smiles gained him inauy friends on earth. Old age ex pec's death and it does not surprise ns when the death angel apjwars, but when a young life, full of hope and promise, is taken, wi feel like saying: "God's will, not oars, be done." Mr Richbourg's bnmble labor pre. sents a more eloquent practical lesson than the entire lives of many whom the world calls illustrions and whase names and deeds are blkzoned npon its brightest record. He was a student of the seminary at Ayden, N C, and had just returned to his home at Foreston, S C, a few days before that dreadful disease typhoid fever, carried him away. We feel that he is at rest aud among the redeemed, who are forever singing anthems of praise in the immediate presence of God, because he has worked so faithfully. Though his life was short, he has made bright paths for many that were in darkness and his life was an exemplary one. He leaves an aged father an d moth. er, four sisters and one brother. May God in His rich mercy and with His consoling hand comfort and cheer them in their great grief. But why should they grieve, remembering that it is God's will and He does not needlessly afflict His children? Then let ui look beyond the dark portals of death and see him as a bright, shining angel around God's holy throne, far from the empire of death and change. A Friend.

Several years ago, outside of Kingstree and Lake City, very few school districts of the county levied a special tax supplementary to the constitutional tax of three mills for school purposes. But, as the appended list will show, there has been a great educational awakening throughout: the county, so that now there are fourteen school , districts that have voted a spe- J cial tax. , i This speaks well forourcoun- j ty and what it means for com J ing generations it is impossible | to estimate. !
