? FARMERS' UNION BUREAU. ^ All communications for this Department should be address t ed to T L Clinkscales, Honea !Path, J B Douthit or J C Strib- * ling, Pendleton, SC. ?-? ? \ What Is the Farmers* Union? The Farmers' Union is a covenant among farmers for their mutual benefit. harm in that? Wise men have said that when farmers are . prosperous sll other legitimate occupations receive their share of the farmers' uplift; then why is it that any right-thinking man should not be willing to lend a helping hand to the Farmers' Union? r If vnnr lininn has a last vear's i x bird-nest appearance, better kick it | orf the limb and round up a new one, ^nnd be sure that the material will not take the dry rot, and then mind the flies and vermin off the new one. Our county unions will soon elect delegates to the State Union, July 26-27. Round up your best men as delegates. Let your delegates be of that kind of patriotic, liberty-loving farmers who never allow their prejudice or personal interest to lead them away from their duty?men of pluck and grit that know the law and good for the Farmers' Union and have the backbone to stand for the good of the union even against friend or foe alike, * ' 'Farmers* Union a Connecting Link The power and influence of the 7 . r i balance the scales ol justice and right from its claws? Our Farmers' Unions are called upon to do a lot of -charitable work. We have quite a lot of substantial farmers that are too cowardly to join the union for fear of not pleasing some one in other occupations?these sordid, in' active cowards are made happy by favors resulting without anv effort on their part. Go after these neighbors and show them that their permanent prosperity depends largely upon the general prosperity of their neighbors.and they will be with you. one points out mistakes that the union has made, tell him that he is the very man we need to come right along into the union,where improvements are always welcome, and that the improvements cannot come from the outside. Our Duty First, It is not what we want to do that should guide our daily work, but what is our duty. To many of us not a day passes by but that duty calls us to do things that our animal nature does not want to do. Our animal nature is "agin'' our leaving our private business to go out among farmers and put up a whole lot of arguments to him to get him to join r / co-operative ieature ui uie r anuria Union has now come to be recognized by all other organizations as an indispensable connecting link between farmers and all other industrial ana educational organizations. When the chamber of commerce of a town desires to promote any new proposition for the public benefit, they have learned the advantage there is in calling a conference with the farmers' organization. Two of the high officials of agricultural colleges of two Southern States recenti'fly stated to this scribe that the Farmers' Unihn was a very important connecting link between farmers' college work and the farmer; the union is the prime mover and co-op erator in State and Government farm demonstration work; the auto-good roafis and other associations realize thy'unless the union stands for good roads these goo,d roads associations are all up-hill pull. The very name, "'Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union," is sufficient guaran, tee of friendship and co-operation in All better school movements. Union Principles. Suppose the churches, the State And national Governments and all the hundreds of secret orders and all other organizations were to stand for -only those labors in which the sacrifice is not greater than the wage in v -dollars, where would our civilization be today? Would our nation's emblem be more appropriate or acceptAble to our people for the eagle to carry a dollar in its beak than to the union for their own benefit, but duty says it, and we must obey. In every county we have some of our i best men that do not attend the union meetings regularly for the ap! parent reason that they think that : we have gotten all the union de mands.and that the thing is finished, j that the farmers have learned the ' lesson, and that the organization will run by itself, but it will net do it. We must keep the union strong ' and stand for no measure or men that are not strong and right. If the majority of your brethren will not go your way, it is your duty to try their plan awhile and some will no tlouot nna out later tnat an were after the same thing, but you had different way? of getting at it. A Family Gathering. Editor County Record:? It was my privilege to be present on yesterday (Wednesday) at a family reunion in the pleasant home of the Hon R P> Chandler, near Rome, S. C. This gathering was in honor ' of the fifty-third anniversary of the birthday of his wife, Mrs Alice M Chandler. This most excellent Christian lady is a daughter of that well , known and' highly esteemed cx-Confederate veteran. Mr Sam Huggins, who ^s now in the eighty-third year of his age and whose Godly life has been a benediction to the Johnson' ville commuaity. where he has lived so long and so worthily, The scene to which I have referred was truly instructive and inspiring? a noble Christian woman receiving the heart-felt greetings and congratulations of a large number of descendants who owe so much to her j own pious example. Allow me, Mr Editor, to say that homes presided over by Christian j mothers are the true safeguards of ! a nation, and furnish the only basis I upon which we can build a hope for j the futiye greatness and prosperity j of this goodly land bequeathed to U3 by pious ancestors. Well, after a feast of good things spread out for us under the oaks in the yard of the Chandler home, the young folks enjoyed their outdoor sports and the older ones their social chats, and then the delightful occasion closed most appropriately with ; a prayer service conducted by this : scribe. Thos. J. Clyde. Rome, S. C., June 28, '11. Kill More than Wild Beasts. The number of people killed yearly by wild beasts doesn't approach the vast number killed by disease germs. No life is safe from their attacks. They're in air, water, dust, even food. But grand protection is afforded by Electric Bitters, which destroy and expel these deadly dis ease germs from the system. That's why chills, fever and ague, all mala-' rial and many blood diseases yield promptly to this wonderful blood purifier. Try them, and enjoy the glorious health and new strength they'll give you.

Kingstree People Are Given Convincing Proof No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills have stood this t-st and stood it well. What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand than the statement of a Kingstree resident who has been cured and has stayed cured? Read the following: Mrs P D Epps, Kelley St, Kingstree. S C. says: "I have no hesitation in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, for I know from experience that they act just as represented.
