Whitner Reld, state secrc tarj of tim Farmers' Union, ami Mr. Harris of the oxecutive committee, end the main purpose of courso, was to organise a branch with a view- to bringing about a complete reorgan? isation of the county. Mr. McLourln< who is in full sympathy with Ihla pur poae, and w ho i\ cognises the estab? lishment of a warehouse system as be Ing in lite' with the purposes ami prin? ciples Of the Union, had accepted an Invitation to explain to the farmers directly the work in which he is on gaged, The audience listened to Mr. McLaurln with the (losest attention, applauded him unit'' frequently, and when he finished, Mr. rtold easily se? cured enough applications for mem? bership to warrant the issuance of a chai ter for a local union. Mr. McLaurln told the fanners, how from Informell? n secured from Editor I DeCnmp end from personal observa? tion! he ba<i hem Impressed with thei comfortable condition of the farmers of Cherokee as compared with those OVcr in the eastern part of the State. j Cherokeei York. CTnlon, Lancaster and ' Spartanburg farmers diversified tin ir crop:, and In addition to cotton raised something to eat, while over In the ? astern part of the State they raised very little else than cotton, and while 'under conditions that have followed ! the breaking out of the European war. j tin re has been much depression under loth systems; the Piedmont peo? ple are much better off for the reason that they have not experienced a great deal oi actual suffering. Hm the sneaker a*a> unwilling to admit thai crop diversification was a complete solution tit the trouble. i>t veYslncaAon, he said, was wise as ? precaution; and farmers should al? ways produce plenty to eat. Plenty td eeiL however, is not sufficient. 'i1h? fulb St ( U.iovm mt of life in enmlort kirn1 content, calls for more than lomethlng to <at. and whatever may te the m. rlti or demerits of the all cotton syvtefft, compared with the cot? ton as ;i surplus system, the fact re? mains that cotton is the only crop we hhve to depend upon to >;et money for out- own needs, or to bring money from abroad to supply the needs of the community generally. There Is no escape from the facti Mr, Mcl?auriti asserted, that the main question to be solved in connection with the most profitable marketing of the crop Is finance. There neyeT has nccii a Cfbp the whole year's Kupply of which could be marketed within three months without loss to the pro? ducer, and that Is one of the handicaps on cotton, I'eople other than farm? ers understand tins situation thor? oughly and the) make the most ol It \?the cotton buyer.'-., the banks, the speculators and others, it is up to the farmers to bring about some re? forms along here In order to secure for themselves a fuller share of the products of their labor, ami the State warehouse syst? m. he declared, will If properly managed, backed up and utilised, furnish the key tu the situa? tion. Bj way of illustrating the necessity for the warehouse, he cited the previ? ously published case of the Toxas farmer who a few years ago, placed in a bale of cotton n letter In which I he stated that he had wold the cotton at S cents :i pound and asked the spinner to advise him what he had paid for it. In the letter was a return envelope, stamped and addressed, an in the course of time came the reply from a German manfacturer, stating thai he had paid 16 cents a pound for the cotton. The difference In the price had gone to pay numerous proiKs which under a better system could have been avoided, He went on to ray i hat In 1911 w hen on account of I h< i>in end of u tremendous crop going on the market In the fall months he sold the bulk of his crop from 8 down to 7 cents, and because he could not pel en oiler ol more than cents for the balance, some ::r.n bales, lv put P in 11 Warehouse at a coal of 38 cents per bale per month. In the Spring he . old the cotton for inline deliver) al Ul cents, iind when it came time to ship, In order to rave ;.ny misunderstand? ing in employed two i U nnettsvilb buyer* to grade |l He shipped Ihe cotton to \Yw vi u whore It was re graded ami although Neu York has cot , .?? reputation oj giving ans m ire than In coming hi Ittcm, the *?ew "i ork ..i' nil i h placed t he i ijtlou ei points higher Hum .t had I e? n ?! i 1 ? y ? b< l'? urn tti .

Other mattere to be tak? en into consideration were the cheap? er rates of Btornge and Insurant.f fered l?y the state warehouse and lh< guarantee of title, weights and grades in favor of the purchaser. Also th<' superior borrowing power of the State warehouse certitlcate. lie told of his rect nt trip t<? Washington and New York to si e the officers uf the treas? ury department, the big hankers and insurance men, with ihr result of es? tablishing [)\<> loan value of State warehouse receipts over standard warehouse receipts, and ;;cttin?j: the concession of the lowest insurance on cotton that had ever been offered any l I where. Then he went on to say that while the. regional reserve system offered splendid advantages, tln.se ad? vantages were of no consequence un? less 111?? local bankb would avail them? selves ??i it for tha b*notlt of the cot? ton producer, u id he had demonstrat? ed that this cot Id oe done upon prop | er effort, l'p to this time, Mr. McLaurln said, the local hanks have not shown any disposition to help the farmer. It is true that a member hank can discount 'a cotton note at its regional reser\e hank lor 90 days at per cent; hut in tin- first place they are not doing anything of the kind, and in the sec? ond Place, they arc charging 8 per et nt. for the service. There is noth Ing In that arrangement for the farm? er. His credit is being used to bei i sure; but mostly for the benefit of others. "I do not believe In the mo of the big stick to deprive anybody of r single thing that is rightfully theirs, i but when the other fellow has some? thing that belongs to me and will not give it up, i am for the use of the o:g stick, and In those circumstances, i am beginning to feel that M*e only way for the farmers to compel the use of the reserve hanks for their benefit, is j to establish a string of member banks themselves. The banks Will be ablo! to discount the farm paper in the re j serve banks at r> per cent., and then give the farmers the money at con-| Isldembly less than S per cent. Then i v. hen the farmer finally sells his col ton he can deposit the proceeds in hie member hank and make for himself , the profit that belongs to him; bat I which is now going to others. I Mr. McLaurin mentioned some of II he. many ditiie.ulli.es that ho has met I with in his efforts to establish the : warehouse and stated that nil of the Opposition arose out of the fact that interests affected?Independent cotton I dealers^ insurance people, mill men. Ibankers ami ethers realised that most of the saving that would come to the I farmers will be us the result of a di? version of proiitH that are now coing to them. The opposition generally is I purely SblflShi but in some cases it Is j the result of misunderstanding, lie asserted that several of the strongest opponents of the warehouse?those who had made the ablest speeches against the system had convinced 'themselves of their error in their owi\ speeches, and they arc now friendly to the whole plan. Many of the poli? ticians had fought him for political reasons; hut that was unneeesary, for il he can carry out his plans to get all that is coming to him, he wants no other reward. He told how the general assembly had originally ap? propriated $15,000 per annum for use In the establishment of the ware house, and how the comptroller gen? eral without previous warning, sud? denly advised him that no more war runts would he honored except on a new appropriation. He looked upon the whole thing as of a piece Wllh other similar dagger thru..Is at the i warehouse system; but he did not in? tend to be driven from his work In any such style. He determined to 'Ao on with the work even though he had to pay the expenses of the whole business out of his personal means. Mr, McLaurin said that he had ar? ranged to buy sheet-iron suitable for warehouse purposes, at cost, for sale to the farmers at cost the money to m> hack into the treasury as it was paid back to him, und if the $5.000 appropriation is not enough for the purpose, he will supply out of his own means, on the same conditions all the money that may be necessary. He told the farmers to organize warehouse associations of then- own, hy clubbing together In companies of ten. twenty or thirty, build .sheet-iron warehouses thai will hold BOO bales of cotton each, put them under state control, appoint managt is from among themselves, ami he would ap? point these managers as custodians, weighers and graders.

Bland, the well-known rweler and business man < ! thla town, will leave tonight for Washington for the pur? pose of demonstrating to the chief i?i ordnance ol the United states army a machine pistol which he has been working on for the i ast six months with a view to Improving it. Tiiis (hotel is of the continuous dring style like a machine gun; discharging at the rate of from 600 to 800 shots per minute. The weight is about the same aa the regular army pistol with the exception of the magazine which may he loaded with from 10 to :J00 cart? ridges. Mr. Wand's improvement is for military purposes, the-Idea being such that, any regular army pistol may he fitted with the improvement, thereby !converting every $25 pistol into a $700 machine sun with the advantage of being only a few pounds heavier as I compared to the 100 pound machine gun. Mr. Bland has, also, been at work on a machine gun which will he ! m> heavier than the regular army rifle. ' If these improved guns arc satisfac tory, which it seems that there can be no doubt of. the great advantages will lie readily understood. Mr. Bland secured these guns from the v.'u- department fi>r the purpose of experimenting with them as he has a mechanical turn of mind and has al? ways been interested In such imple? ments. He will in all probaility rcal-; ize a large re Yard lor nis work should he be successful in his demonstrations in Washington. The pistol has work? ed perfectly in numerous trials hove. Mr. Bland probably will be gone about a week, although he may visit the big j Colt revolver works in Hartford, Conn. Tie has the best wishcj of a host of friends In his undertaking and the results of his experiments will be watched with a great deal of interest. SOCIAL AFFAIRS AT MAYESVILLK.

TO PLANT SWEET POTATOES. \umber of Florence farmers to (?ro\\ Flro to Ten Acres. Florence, Feb. 25. ?One of the on L 14 row the <>i the conference held en Wednesday with Dr. Thompson of the department of agriculture, promises to h<> a large increase in the sweet po? tato acreage in this community. Quite a number of farmers have pledged themselves to plant live to ten acrea <>f sweet potatoes for the market for ihe canning factory, which will very probably be put into Deration, de? spite the obstacles which have pre sented themselves so frequently when the operation of this factory was un? dertaken. Dr. Thompson convinced the farmers that there was very much more of a market for sweet potatoes than they had any idea of. Everybody j knows that the demand for sweet po? tatoes even on the local market is very poorly supplied, and potatoes frequently bring over a dollar a bush Iel, whereas they can easily be sold at thirty-five and forty cents a hushel , with good profit for raising. There Is no limit whatever In a practical why to the market for canned sweet po? tatoes. Rocky BlufT News Notes.

Kock Hill, Feb. 25.?In September and October the fall garden was planted. The vegetables planted were parsley, carrots, turnips, spinach, radishes (winter and spirng), pars? nips, lettuce, and onions. Strawber? ry plants, cabbage and collards, also, were set in the fall. Sweet pea and poppy seed were sowed and jonquil, narcissus, and hyacinth bulbs were put out. All of these are only wait? ing for the first warm spring day to set them growing and soon have them ready for use. 0 The cold frame is filled with let* luce just ready to head, and the sale of this has already begun. Last year there was realized ten dollars from the sale of lettuce from this cold frame. There was such a demand for onions it was decided to make an ex? periment of raising them for tho market. A strict account of the money expended In the raising of the onions is being kept and just as strict an account will be kept when they are sold. In this way the school can tell just how profitable the onion crop is. Real Instate Transfers. R. D.
