ONION, S. C., JULY 14, 19C5.
' 'The Vidctte,"a newspaper young
and exceedingly fresh, published
by \V. T. Crews and \V. C. Irby,
Jr., in Columbia, made its third
appearance Monday, July 10. It
is evidently a Ben Tillman and
dispensary organ, as there is little j
else in the paper of local interest, i
Much of it is a rehash of the Reform 1
sentiment of IMM), criticising and
abusing the anti-dispensary followers
and prohibitionists, in fact all
who oppose the dispensary in any
form or manner. It reminds us
very much of Larry (iantt in the
"Headlight," and if we did not
look at the name of the paper and
those of the editors and publishers,
we would he sure we were away
back in the past, reading the rot

FARMERS' COTTON WAREHOUSE.
The struggles of the farmer, the
martyr and victim of peculiar eircuinstances
and conditions, to gain
recognition in the world of business
and trade commodities have been
pathetic. At no time, until now,
has any plan or scheme designed
for tin; benefit and betterment of
the fsrmers been of sufficient
strength and duration to fully organize
the farmers, by which they
as a class have derived any material
or lasting benefit, for the reason
that the promoters have had self
a^randizement as a motive. The
organizations heretofore having been 1
but stepping stones for political
rrirnoses. Toihiv nil # ! ????
p.'oplu arc in full sympathy and
arc cooperating with the farmers,
recognizing the fact that the pros- 1
p ;rity of the fanner is the pros- i
parity of the entire people, hankers, 1
merchants, tradesmen and artisans I
of every class and condition. In <
view of the past experience in suf- ?
ferings and burdens borne by the '
farmers, it is little wonder that the i
farmers have a lurking suspicion, t
when the cotton warehouse prop)- i
sition is presented to them; but we J
are glad to say that this feeling 1
among the farmers is fast vanish- '
ing away. Tin; average farmer is a <
person of average intelligence and '
when properly informed and his t
confidence gained he becomes a v
power in a scheme like the ware- f
house project. The fact that the ^
t ....? i i x
i?iiuu ui coiiHii iiits uavaiicca to a
point unprecedented at this time of I<
the year is an evidence of the ad- '
visahility of warehousing the cot- ?
ton. The fsiet that the farmers n
placed iit least (50 per cent of their ft
crop in a warehouse, and thus put d
a limited numher of hales on the s<
market sit different times since the f<
crop was harvested lias done as si
much towards advancing the price o:
as the reduction of acreage. The k
idea of a warehouse is to give the h
farmer the opportunity to market o
,}iis crop all during the year and f>
mot lie compelled to put it all on h
tlie iiiarket in the fal and winter, h
.as we know that when the cotton p
is all sold in three or four months at
the receipts are heavy and cotton
drops in price. Cotton in a ware- tl
house, the farmer holding a ware- c<
house receipt, is just as good as at
that much money to him. At no (vi
>
nic in the past thirty years have
lie fanners lieen in a liettcr condi1011
to hold their cotton than they
ave lieen tliis post year. It is adisable
for the farmers to have a
*a rehouse and as many as possible
[i I hi stockholders; in sonic places
here are more than one warehouse,
it the August meeting of the Union
utility Cotton Growers Association
his warehouse question will be
ully discussed and the farmers
rill bo asked to take stock. We
egard it a safe investment and a
lividend small or large is certain,
t is safe to place your cotton in a
varehouse, instead of taking all the
isk yourself on your own plantaion.
MILLS VS FARMERS.
Alleged Association of Cotton
Mills, in the Greenville Section
of the Piedmont, to
Keep Down the Price of
Cotton, Which the Cotton
Growers' Association is
Trying to Keep Up.
(ireenville, July S.?Facts have
just been brought to light uncovering
an association composed of
nearly every cotton mill in this section,
through which the local cotton
market is handled. This association
is fully ofliccred and each
morning the price to he paid for
the staple locally is fixed. Its buyers
are given instructions and there
is absolutely no competition and
cotton is bought without grading.
By a system of boycott, commission
houses which have been selling
brokers here, arc forbidden to buy
cotton in the local Held, and so far
export buyers seem to have been
seared off in a similar way. ?
While the association has for its
aim the steadiness of prices on the
loom market, it is a notorious iact
Uuvt competitive buying has not
that the thing y?nr*
and it is claimed that the farmers
are losing money.
The Cotton Association here is
threatening to bring a buyer into
the territory whose duty it shall be
simply to keep prices uu. Ro??i.?tl?r
the local market has been only 10
cents, when cotton has been 11.10
in New York. This is said to be
far below its true value here under
such conditions, and the mill association
is being blamed. It is
said that the association extends
beyond the borders of this county
into many large manufacturing
towns, and that it is just as relentless
elsewhere as it has been here.
1). J.
The al ove we clip from the News
and Courier. In the face of the
fact that the southern cotton growers
association is organized to prevent
tin; cotton buyers from buying
the cotton of the farmers for less
than it costs to make it and to prevent
speculators from imposing
upon the cotton growers. It seems
From the ahove that we have as
jreat and effective enemies to the
r :~i-? i ...
i<11 huts* mk"i ihtu among us, in tlic
iotton mills. It is claimed l>y the I
issociation that the organization is
lot nor can he antagonistic to the '
nterest of the mills. It is claimed (
hat all is identical and of mutual j
nterest. Yet it would seem that i
it least some of the mills do not so '<
Teat it. It is possible that such an
issociation as is above described is
onlined to the Greenville and near
>y mills. This may account for
he tight or rather deprecatory
vritings which have at sundry times
ppeared in the Greenville Daily
sews. The effort of the Greenville
s'ews and the Greenville mills to
:ccp down the price of cotton is
eprehcnsible to say the least in a
outhcrn paper and southern cotton
lills. It would be well for the
irmers, and they are in shape to
o so, to lx>ycot all such mills and
ill only to shippers, this would
>rce the mills to huy from the
[uppers. The association spoken
f above has not only put down and 1
ept down the price of cotton but
as actually driven other buyers
lit of the market. The price paid
>r cotton in I'nion since the rise
as not been as high as it should
ave l>cen according to the price (
aid in New York, and not as high (
< other towns in this state have j
Ben paying. We cannot think
lat the mills of Union are in the 1
>mhination, meml>crs of the same (
isociation that exists in CJrcen- '
.no. b

The hills and mountains bid you come ;
Your laurels are ready won
Ere long since your morning sun.

The swortl and irlit.terinir steel
All beaten into plowshares;
Where once was woe, now is weal.
Rest, warrior, rest!
The waterfall drones its ceaseless song,
While the birds in the tree-tops
Make merry all the day long.

Out of the carnage and aching pain ;
Out of the strife where shot and

Out of the furor and battle slain ;
Out of the scenes where comrades
lain.
Rest, warrior, rest!
The name of our honored dead
Will be the watch word
Of those who fought and bled.
Rest, warrior, rest!
In the valley the birds proudly sing.
Where smiles bade the dnyiigkt

There all nature in grand array
Gently kiss the king of day.
Rest, warrior, rest!
On fames' eternal camping ground ;
God is watching.
Angels guard the sentry round.

Cliuivlt.
Jonesville, July 10?Yesterday
morning at '>::>() o'clock the alarm
of fire was sounded in our town
which soon brought the people to
the streets and it was found that
the Southern depot was ablaze and
by the time help arrived it was too
late to enter the building in safety.
So nothing could be saved inside
the depot. Three 1h>x cars stood on
j the siding opposite the depot one of
which was loaded with flour which
had been left there Saturday and
the other two cars had household
furniture and some other freight in
, them. The car loaded with Hour
was pushed down the track and

; the cars were burned, as these two
cars were coupled together and
, the brakes were op them and no
pinch bars could l>e found about
the yard in time or they might
have Ixien saved. The lire eat its
way through the depot in a few
minutes and the two ears on the
track were soon ablaze and as most
of the material they were built of
was rich pine they made a dreadful
hot tire. There was hut little wind
Mowing, and only one building being
very near, the fire did not
spread and was confined only to
the railway property. The new
brick store of Williams hros. is only
about oO feet from the depot, hut
men were on top of the store with
buckets of water and then water
was used on the front and the buildinc

There was a good deal of freight
in the depot, some of it having been
put in Saturday evening. As to
the cause of the fire no one knows.
It seemed to have started in the
freight department. Mr. W. D.
Oliver the agent says he was in the
depot until two o'clock and he left
everything in good order, so far as
he knew, and in aUmt two hours
the fire was discovered.
The household furniture that was
in tin; cars that was burnt belonged
to Mrs. Olliver, the mother of the
agent, who was just moving from
Aiken to Jonesville to keep house j
and live with her son.
Capt. J. H. Morgan, Supt. of
bridges and buildings, and Mr. j
John (ieldson, supervisor, were here
today cleaning up the debris, and 1
Capt. Morgan rented the ware house ,
of Mr. J. F. Alman just 1m;1ow the ^

a new one could l>c built. Of course s
