An order promulgated on December
A denies to publishers
the privilege of sending copies
to subscribers as such after a
specified term following the expiration
of the subscription.
This ruling becomes a law Jan
uary. Hereafter publisher* of
weekly newspapers can not car- J
ry subscribers ia arrears more
than one year, semi-weeklies
more than nine months, triweeklies
longer than six months,
and dailies longer than three
I months. For each violation the
publishers will be lined 1 cent
for each four ounces. Since the
average newspaper weighs four
ounces or less, each paper sent
to a subscriber in arrears for a
longer period than indicated
will cost the publishers 1 cent
fine. This law will not affect
the big-dailies very materially,
but it will make a change in the
management of weeklies and
semi-weeklies.
A FARMERS' liwiow
Has Been iecently Organized at
Lea
Leo, January 20:-?I am glad
to say that Leo has organized a
Farmers'Union and all of the
members are doing all in their
manly power for the upbuilding
of it. I think every good farmer
of Williamsburg county |
ought to belong to. the
Farmers' Union if he ever expects
to get the burden off his
shoulders that he ,has been
carrying for these many years.
I want to see all the farmers get
together and stick together.
We can never do anything as
long as we stand each to our
selves. We want to sell our product
direct to the manufacturers |
and cut the middle man out.
But unless we organize and
. " j_
gel xogexner we c*n never uu n.
Now I ask every good farmer
to wake up and get to doing
something for his own welfare
and not the speculator's. We
have kept them on the stool of '
do-nothing long enough reaping
the profits on what you have
to sell and that yon and your
family ought to enjoy. When
we have to buy anything we
have to ask, what will you take
for it? And when we sell anything,
we have to ask, what will
you give me for it? It seems
unjust to me. Why can't we set
our own prices as much so as
everyone else can?
There has been over a million
bales of cotton made in South
Carolina this year. If you had
the profit that the speculator
made on that, you might have
more money in the bank than
you have got.
Yours respectfully,
John H. Wilson,
Vice President,
Farmers' Union of Leo, S. C.
