A Wes?er?i. with a party of directors
as I offtcUvIs of the road, passed
through thu city this morning, paying
a brief viair here and going down on
tbe extension, looking after business
for the new line. They would not
commit themselves ns to any prospect
of the openlr : of the road for passen?
ger traffic, but it is believed that their
visit would result In additional ac?
tivities being pressed on this line, for
the whole country Is Impatiently de?
manding tho opening of the road for
passenger business. The road Is In
good condition, far better than the
sections that are In use for passenger
traffic now.
Work Is being pressed as fast as
possible on the extension to Charles?

in operation for the cotton season.
BIG PICNIC AT CONCORD.
Farmern* 1 nion Celebrates Fourth by
Big Gathering.
The meting und picnic of the Sum?
ter County Farmers' Union at Concord
school house on the 3rd was one of
the most enjoyable ever held In this
county. There were probably five
hundred In attendance during the
day.
Citisena of every portion of Sumter
county and some from Clarendon
county and a great many ladles and
gentlemen of the city of Sumter were
among thoso present.
A short meeting of tho Union was
held In tho school building. After
the meeting the crowd was invited to
the spacious auditorium on tho sec?
ond floor where he htdics of Concord
and their gentlemen friends and rela?
tiven had spread a bountiful dinner.
To enumerate tho many good thing*
to eat la Impossible. But tho dellc
bus barbecued shout, country cured
ham, chicken pie. tired chicken, chick?
en cooked with rice, baked chicken,
and every kind of chicken except li.e
cheker were served. Macaroni,
steamed rice, biscuit*, brad, barbe?
cued hash, chicken gravy, four or live
kinds of pies, several kinds of cako,
and other palatable eatables camo In
rapid succession from the magic-like
store room of the big hearted Concord
ladles and gentlemen.
Had President Woodrow Wilson
he?n so fortunato as to be at Concord
school house ho could havo secured
In a pleasing way indisputable evi?
dence of the nation's prosperity suf?
ficient to put the "Hull Moose Hluffer
Itoonevelt" on tho blink with his pro?
testations of "Hard Times" under
Woodrow Wilson's administration.
No "hard times" talk could amount
to anything before the unexcelled
cooking of the Concord ladies and
their neighborhood lady friends who
brought an abundance of eatables to
supplement the commlsslary supplies
of the local township ludies.
The meeting of the Union was said
by those In attcr.Jancc to have been
profitable and pleasant to all In at?

some Random Thoughts.
The Concord meeting of the Coun?
ty Union was even moro interesting
than usual on account of the matters
discussed, and tho action that was tak?
en, liefore this is published we hope
our efforts to have cotton weighed
more expeditiously at the Sumter plat?
form will be worked out to the satis?
faction of all concerned. This alone
will bo worth to every farmer who
markets a bule of cotton during the
rush season more than his due* to
tho Farmers' Union for a year,
ass
Another matter that we are work?
ing on is to make Sumter a better
cotton market, one that will always
pay such prices as will make it worth
while for the farmers anywhere in
reach of it to sell his cotton there. The
facts are that it has not always been
so, and with the slow weighing, has
lost to the Sumter mark.) several
thousand bales of cotton annually,
a a a
Some weeks ago a prominent citi?
zen of Sumter aired his ignorance of
recent history by saying "The Farm?
ers' Union has not been worth a
d?n." May I ask why Is it that so
many other prominent citizens, not
strictly eligible, seek membership in
tho Union, if the remark of my friend
quoted above. Is true? And also what
agency brought about many reforms
In Sumter county that I can name, if
not tho Furmers Union?
Refore this remark was made the
officers of the State Union had sent
out a letter to all the local and coun?
ty unions for Information as to what
the union has accomplished since it
was organized, and when these are
compiled I will take great pleasure in
sending a copy to my friend quoted
above. Rut really his opinion is not
of so much importance us tho cure?
less taking for granted by so m.iny
of tho farmers that measures the
union has brought about would have
come any way. That the union has
hail no inlluence on tho prices of cot?
ton, or goods, or fertilizer or terms of
credit, or upon better marketing ar?
rangements or upon better farming.
Every man who keeps posted knows
that thafi is Improvement in all these
things. He also knows that they did
not Just happen so, but that they are
the results of the studies and discus?
sions of the earnest body of men who
constitute tho Farm rs Union?a mere
handful compared with the whole
number of farmers In the county. If
all had Joined, and had been as faith?
ful us tho few who are still working
for it, there would be a still better
showing nade.

J. Frank Williams, J. M. Rrogdon
and Hugh Wltherspoon were elected
delegates to the Stato meeting of the
[Union which convenes in Anderson on
Wednesday, the 22nd. Concord local
has elected its representative to this
meting its very efficient secretary, Mr.
W. I?. Rrunson. I hope tho other lo
cnl unions will publish the names of
their members who will go so that we
may make up the roll beforehand. On
Tuesday the 23rd the people of An?
derson will provide automobiles to
take the union to Clemson College,
where it will bo the guest of the col?
lege for the day. This will be a very
nice trip, and worth more than the
cost oftho entire week to our low
country farmers who have never been

Florence, July 7.?At a meeting of
the tobacco association of this sec?
tion held in this city yesterday it was
determined that the market would
be opened west of the Pee Dee on
Weunesday, July 22. All markets on
this west side of the Pee Dee river

It Is the opinion of the tobacco men
that the crop will be about two-thirds
of the normal and that it will be two
to three weeks late. The acreage has
been largely increased. Tho weed
promises to be good if tho curing is
properly done.
A number of prominent tobacco
doalers and buyers are now in the
city arranging for the operdng of
these markets, where they expect to
buy a lot of tobacco this year. The
acreage has been largely Increased, a
great deal of tobacco being raised in
Georgetown county this year for the
first time, and Sumter and Chester?
field have gone into tho golden leaf
belt, while the acreage in the old to?
bacco sections has been largely in?
creased. A number of new ware?
houses have been opened in anticipa?
tion of the big crop that was planned,
and the warehousemen are beating
the hushes for the patronage of tho
farmers.

Their Suffering Fnded.
Hundreds of your neighbors are
roady to tell you just what has made
life new for them and relieved them
of the tortures of ill health, if you
will lot them. They have used Mrs.
Joe Person's Remedy to purify their
blood and enrich the life-giving Huld
bo that, all the bodily functions could
work properly. When that was done,
and the organs got a chance to do
their work, Nature cleared up their
troubles, so that they are now well.
It doesn't much matter whether the
trouble is laid on the digestion, the
nerves or the skin. Back of it all is
the fact that the blood is either not
good enough or is positively poison?
ed. Of course you cannot get well, di?
gest what you eat or rest in sleep, as
long as what ought to give your
nerves tone and your digestion ener?
gy and strength is poisoned every min?
ute of the day. (Jet the blood right.

blood is right you live.
