Bear in mind the State Farmers
Union will meet at IL noon at An
derson, S. c., Thursday, May 3lst. Is
Our Anderson County Farmers
Union brethren are a thorough-go-
ing, lively, substantial and good look
ing set Of farmers. See to it that
every County in the State strives to
send even better representative body
than Anderson docs. Anderson coun-
ty Union men can take care Of q large
delegation from the State, and no
doubt large delegation from every
county in the State will make line
show and impression for the good Of
the organization in way; but for
good work in organizing a State
Union and,> especially formulating
rules, constitution and bylaws, just
few of the best business men in each
county is a better working force
than large number of rafting, Aoun-
dcring position hunters.
Don't forget that cliques, caucuss-
es and wirequllers are the prime dis
integrating mills that grind down the
strength of any organization.
When you leave home for the state
union prepare yourselves with your
best resolutions for the good Of all
union men, and at the same time pre-
pare your temper to receive defeat
like a man with lots of manhood about
him; then it will be easy for you to
live up with the majority for good to
all.

Our State Farmers Institute.

We would like to remind all farm
ers' organizations, as well as every
individual or unorganized farmer in
South Carolina, of the fact that these
farmers institutes held in different
sections of the State, as we'll as the
State Farmers Institute held an
nually about August at Clemson, are
becoming of more and more inter-
est to farmers each year; the profits
to farmers derived from intelligent,
practical and scientific discussions at
these institutions upon the everyday
subjects of farm life and farm topics
in taking hold upon the minds of the
more progressive farmers Of the
State.
Now, these farmers institutes are
just as good or just as poor as the
farmers of the State make them. IF
the farmers will come to an agree
ment in any kind of concert of ac-
ton as to what speakers they want
and the kind of subjects they wish
discussed at these institutes, the au-
thorities in charge of these Institutes
would gladly give the. farmers just
as good service and as much Of it on
any line that the farmers may choose
according to the facilities at hand.
Our Farmers Union bureau col
umn is at the disposal Of the farmers
for open and free discussions as to
the subjects that are of most inter-
est to farmers at present.
1t will be remembered that last
season the Farmers Union made a
formal request through our organiza-
ton that the South Carolina Expert
ment Station take up the Aldrich sys-
tenn Of planting corn and cotton in
the alternate double row system and
compare results by actual tests by
weights and measurements--not by
looks of the crops or opinion,-~and
this experiment has now been inaugu-
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-05-08

rated in their experiment works for
a term of years, which no doubt viii
give the farmers a great deal or var
uable> information upon these impor-
tant crops based upon carefully made
comparative test. We here propose
that the farmers now take up Mr..
IWilliamston's theory Of stunting
corn and theSside application Of fer
Itilizers along through the growing
season, and be sure to have these
comparative tests repeated several
times upon different soils and the
area measured and the crops weighed.
The public mind is now too exacting
to take mere opinions derived from
the looks Of the Drops; we must have
the actual figures, and repetition Of
comparative tests to confirm tho value
Of any test. ...E
AS Clemson Experiment Station
is we'll equipped for this work and
has the funds to pay for it, we ask
the farmers to make the formal re-
quest through their organization for
Clemson Experiment Station to take
up this stunting corn question.

The South Carolina branch of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive unions main objects are to teach
farmers that one good farmer in any
community is a power for good, and
that two good farmers united have
double the power for good that one
farmer has, and that 100 farmers uni
ted for good has 100 times more pow
cr than 100 farmers not banded to-
gether, and when you extend this
calculation to half a million or more
good Southern farmers you not only
have a powerful organization to
teach Southern farmers how to pro-
duce profitable crops, but you have
in this same organization the wisdom
and knowledge as to what would be
equitable prices for our Southern
farm crops, and also the power to
make those prices OH our own pro-
duets and get it. The Farmers Un-
ion teaches the farmer how to turn
the profits Of his labor into the pro-
ducers' hands by protecting each 9th
er's interest through organized eff
forts. We teach the doctrine of
equity and fair dealing in everything ;
we put forth the principles Of fair
ness in all things as our first offer
in9s, and when fairness is not ac-
cepted by our opponents we then pro-
pose to enter the arena of the cotton
trade with a powerful horned cotton
bull that has the power to toss any
cotton bear over the hurdle fence.

matter against Daniel Zimmerman,
the bond clerk referred to, and one
Thomas j. Gibson, Of Columbia,
Richland county. The glut Of cImi-
nal business in the sessions court Of

attention Of the court Of general ses-
sions for. Richland county at it's ap-

place in my hands the several bonds

"The universal ballot gives every

the means OF production and distribu-
ton would give everybody an equal
chance at music, arr, sport, study,
recreation, travel, self-respect and the
respect of others. /, for one, cannot
see why those things should be con-
centrated more and more in the hands
of few. | believe that the owner

other words, as | understand 1t, | am
a socialist. have hardly read book
on socialism, but that which | have
just enunciated / believe in general
to be their theory If it be their the
Ory, | am a socialist. You will find,

Gals who believe as you do will also
find, that you are merely paltering
with skin deep measures when you

The Alexandria Democrat says of
the proposed compulsory educational
law: Such q law is not susceptible of
enforcement and can never accomplish
the objects sought to flow from its
enactment. The Imprisonment of the
parent will not send the child to
school, although it will work a great
hardship upon the offending parent.
A compulsory education law bristles
with all the brutality of the pillory
and all the horrors of the Spanish
inquisition and has no place in an en-
lightened, christian and civilized era.
Now did you ever hear such tommy.
rot as the above. The idea that an
educational law can't be inforced.
Why brother; don't you know that ed
vocational laws exist in more than
half the states of the union. and are
inforced as strictly as most laws on
the Statute book. And then the hard
ships, the pillory and the Spanish in
