AFFAIRS AT ANDREWS*
Farmers Urged to Hold Cotton-*
Ginneries Busy.
Andrews, September 19:?We understand
that a few expert farmers !
met at Earls school house one day J
last week and organized a Farmers'
Union. A few chosen men from our
town were invited. We believe that
at least two of ojr best farmers responded.
It is hoped that the Farm^
ers' Union will succeed all over the
South. See what the price of cotton
is today?just half what it should be,
compared with other Commodities of
our country. Cotton at 18 cents
11 ' " 1 -aL^.
would naraiy equw uuici yu^o.
When it was 4 or 5 cents a pound
you could buy farm mules at $50 to
$65 a head; now with cotton at 10
and 11 cents and mules $200 to $300,
with feed stuff four times as high as
when cotton brought 5 cents, what
-does the farnfef gain? Let's haul
our cotton to Kingstree, put it into
the warehouse and borrow money to
pay our debts; if necessary, hold our
cotton until next June. Some one
may say this will incur too great expense.
We had just as well stand the
expense as to take nothing for our
cotton; not only this year, 1911, but
the entire future is affected by our
stand. When we show Mr Speculator j
in cotton, or the cotton thieves, that
thev can't rob us, then we will al
ways fret a fair price for our products.
The time is now fufly ripe to
fight the cotton boll weevil, but in
the form of the speculator. We
' * v
take the United States Government
for our friend in making cotton reports.
But, my friends, it is the
writer's candid opinion that the Government
reports are the worst enemy
the farmers have. The quicker
this office is abolished the better it
will be for us. This man, Wilson,
sitting on a cushioned arm-chair and
guessing at what cotton will be
made, and just a short time ago selling
the information to the cotton
thieves?what a farce to be put
upon a set of poor tillers of the soil!
Make your cotton and do just as you
would do with a beef cow. When a
buyer comes along and offers you
what the price is made by the Farm-ers'
Union, sell your cotton, and not
before.
The banks of our county have offered
to put up the money to finance
the sale of our cotton?why not
grasp the opportunity?
Mrs L Z King of Florence was
V called Monday to the bedside of her
|^nother, Mrs W S Camlin, who was
verv ill. but we ore glad to report
her cc ndition much improved.
Mr D W Avant is very sick at his
home in town. Dr T R Howie is the
attending physician.
Hon John S Graham,of the Rhems
section, passed through town a few
days ago en route to Hendersonville,
N C, for his health. Mr Graham has
.been in failing health for several j
months. His many friends hope for
his speedy recovery. Mr Graham is
one of the best men of our county.
The ginnery at this place is running
all day and part of the night.'
The hum of the gins could be heard
last Saturday night at 10 o'clock.
^ _ The farmers have made good use
of the two weeks of fair weather,
gathering both hay and cotton.
On October 5 our municipal election
comes off for an intendant and
four wardens for the town of Andrews.
Politics is getting to the boil
ing point. We hope to see a iair ana
honest election. There will be at
least two candidates for intendant. |

FARMERS SECURE WAREHOUSE i
And Will Store Cotton Until the
Price Advances. [
Williamsburg county Farmers' |
Union met in court house at Kings
tree on Saturday, September 16.1B
The president being absent, Mr J G I
Lifrage was elected president pro s
tern. i
The subject of marketing cotton
was discussed and it was the opinion v
of all present that the proper thing1 h
to do is to hold cotton until a better t
price can be had. c
The committee on warehouse wis S
instruct*! to secure the cotton ware- (c
house rituated at Kingstree and h
have necessary repairs made andji
get it in shape for storing cotton as
early a# Convenient. I
With the report from the Mont- j
gomery Cotton Contention the union
is convinced that the report of there ^
being a bumper crop is all bosh. ^
The crop is short ?Texas, Mississippi,
Alaoama and Georgia cotton!
crops have been cut off considerably 1
by boll weevil and cotton caterpillars.1
Our delegate to the Montgomery i*
convention reports that he saw large.c
fields of cotton in the State of Ala- c
?
bama from which the the leaves of
the plant had all been eaten off by t
g
this pest. The convention estimated
the probable yield at 12,500,000
bales,but several of the leading men v
there said that the estimate was too ?
high. It all depends on the farmer 1
whether he gets a good price for 11
his cotton or not. If they will hold ^
their cotton off the market thev can ^
get a better price, but if they con- ^
tinue to give it away at the present *
price, then they will be the losers. c
If all cotton was held off the market ?
and none sold, cotton would reach n
12 cents in less than 60 days, but *
with some selling and some trying 0
to hold, thrit price won't be reached ^
so soon. Brother Farmer,hold your f
cotton for better prices. *

SCHOOL OPENING?A MARRIAGE.
Lake City, September 19:?There
vas nothing at all unusual going on
lere Saturday, but judging from
he crowds that swarmed here all
lay long, a stranger would have
upposed that there certainly was a
rircus or an aviation meet. Seldom
lave so many people gathered here
n one day.
Mr Sam Epps came up from
iingstree Sunday and spent the day
n town with relatives.
Mrs Mamie Smith of Colleton is
nsiting at her brother's, Dr AH
Williams's.
Mr Robert E Turbevllle, who is
low living in Charleston, is here for
i week or ten days looking after affairs
on his farm. His description j
>f the great storm is vivid,and gives
?ne the impression that the amount
if damage given out by the Charles-'
on press was far below the true
mount.
Here are some facts and figures
vhich demonstrate what an intelli;ent
and energetic man can do with
obacco. Mr T E King, whose farm j
3 five miles east of Lake City, had
our and one-half acres in tobacco, j
'he total yield was 7,604 pounds,
'his is only a small fraction under
,690 pounds per acre. He sold the
rop for $994.62 net, which is $221
>er acre. Remember, this was the
let amount actually received. The
ertilizers used were 1,000 pounds
f McMurphy's tobacco fertilizer,
-3-3, and 100 pounds of sulphate of
otash per acre. And yet, some
oiks say that you can't make a livng
farmihg.
