Lexington County
Farmers Union.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The Lexington County Farmers
Union met with the local union at
Hilton on September 9TH. 1t was one
of the best meetings in the history of
the Union, representatives from ev-
ery local union in the county being
present.
The meeting was called to order by
President S. J. Clark, who makes a
splendid presiding officer. After 60
ing into secret session and transact
ing business before the body, Mr.. j.
B. O'neall Holloway addressed those
present. His address was timely and
to the point.
The ladies of Hilton furnished q
fine picnic with refreshments, which,
to say the least, was grand in every
particular. After dinner Prof. Hol-
loway made public address on I'm
ion doctrine, after which the union
went into secret session. There were
three resolutions passed and ordered
published:
1st. That we endorse the action of
the National Union in placing the
minimum price of cotton at Is cents
per pound.
End. That we pledge ourselves not
to sell single bushel of cotton seed
for less than $1.25 per hundred.
3rd. That this Union now in ses-
sion return it's thanks to Prof. Hol-
loway for his very much appreciated
address.
Now, fellow farmers of Lexington
County, you see we are part OF the
three million of union members in
America, who are contending for
their rights. Just watch US now and
see if we don't get our demands!
There is nothing under the sun to
cause cotton to sell for less than Is
cents, though there be large crop,
for the mills are short and must haye
the cotton; furthermore, there is a
great demand for cotton goods and
the mills have contracted month"; 8
ahead. The price of cotton goods
have advanced; so much so that the
mills could easily afford to pay 20
cents for cotton and make large prof
it's.
AS to cotton seed: If you do not
get $3.50 per hundred you are not
getting your share of profit. Just
stop and think for moment. Cotton
seed per ton makes 40 gallons OF oil
worth 45 cents, equals $1S; 1900 lbs.
of meal, worth s1.4o, equals $3.50;
500 lbs. hulls, worth go cents, which
equals So. Add these together and
you will have total of $3.50. The
mills are giving 81 per hundred for
seed and it costs about 81 to convert
into oil, meal and hulls. Seed per
ton $50, manufacturing 81, total cost
s24. Take $24 from $3.50 and it
leaves a clear profit of $12.eo. Can't
you see, Mr.. Farmer?
Mr.. Farmer, let me whisper in your
ear. Just hold your cotton and cot
ton seed for is cents and $1.25 and see
if you will not be profited thereby.
The Union is becoming stronger ano
stronger every day and if you, Mr.
Farmer, want to compensate youl
wife and children for their labor, who
toll from early morning until late al
! night, write Mr.. Jas. B. Addy, Peak
S. c., what day to meet you and he
will put you in the right road.
We need every loyal father ant
son who till the soil.

RESTORATION OF COAL LANDS.

Much to the People.

1t is good news that the investiga-
ton of land frauds III the west is in
ducing some OF the big operators to re.
linquish their grip on valuable coal
areas III Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.
says the New York American. y prop
oSition has bcea Iaade to the depart
ment of justice At Washington to re-
store to the United States government
large sections Of these lands. The res
toratiOn of this coveted mineral area
will mean much TO the American PEG
pie.
The coal deposits of this continent
are being exhausted rapidly. We con.
sumo nearly 100000 tons every day
Last year more than 350.00O,O0O tons
of coal were taken from this country 5
mines. The recognized authorities
have shown that III a hundred years
the American people will practically
he without coal. The most SanguiuC
estimate sets forth that the Pennsylva

III n little more than fifty years from
today.

Life Impossible
Without Sleep
Tho Vitality Consumed During
Waking Hours Must be Restored
by SIeep-otherWise Collapse.

Men have lived for weeks without
food, whereas few days without sleep
and man becomes raving maniac-a
mental and physical wreck.
Nights of sleeplessness tell of a feeble
and depleted nervous system, of ap-
preaching nervous prostration or par
alysis.
The use of opiates merely gives tenn
porary relief, and actually hastens the
collapse of the nervous system.
The regular and persistent use of DR..
A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills will form
new, rich blood, create new nerve force
and thoroughly cure sleeplessness and
nervous exhaustion.
BY keeping record of your increase
in weight while using this treatment
you can be certain that new, firm flesh
and tissue are being added to the body.
You will feel the benefit in every organ.

WHY WOMEN STAY SINGLE.
Not Dissemination. Says One, but
Economic Conditions.

A Brooklyn woman writes to the New
York Tribune:
"Why do so many American girls of
marry late in life?" This question was
asked by an observing foreigner who
had been visiting some of the large
cities of the eastern states.
TOO independent, l suppose was
the rather careless reply of the man
to whom the question was addressed.
What a libel on the good sense and
womanly nature of our girls. They
are not celibatcs from choice-their
home making instincts are just as
strong as are those Of any other ma
tion-neceSSity is in most cases the
whip which drives them to the factory,
the store. the office. the schoolroom.
At Hle present time many forces con-
spire 10 shift the burden of the family
support on the shoulders of the daugh-
tiers of the house. the insecurity Of the
salaried mans position in the present
rage for young blood" the bankruptcy
of the small dealer whose business has
been absorbed by the large department
stores, the nervous collapse of so many
of the breadwinnerS caused by the in.
tense mental strain under which they
| labor to compete with the opposing
forces which are wrestling with them
| for position. practice or trade.
1t has been comparatively easy for q
girl to secure position where no spe
cial preparation IS necessary for eli
Gibility if she were willing to accept
the remuneration offered by too Of
ten constituencies employer. This ac
ceptance practically forces men out
of these ranks and fills their places
with cheap labor. which condition re
acts upon the commonwealth. as fewer
men are able to assume the RESPONSE
bilities of husband and father. How
much better if in all cnses where mel
and women are employed the remuner
alton were decided by the work rathe
| than by the sex of the person perform
ing the work. There would then he NJ
temptation to employ women unless
their work was as good or better thai
that of men. Merit alone would de
eide whether our stores, offices ant
schOolrOOms should be dominated b,
men or by women.

Bachaumont writes in his Secret

for buttons is today extremely ridicu-
lous. They are not only of enormous
size. some of them as big as six pound
crowns, but miniatures and pictures
are@made upon them, and this orna-
mentation is extremely costly. Some
Of them represent the medals of the
twelve Caesars, others antique statues
and stIll others the Metamorphoses OF
Ovid"
Isabey, in his biographical notes,
says that when he came to Paris he
worked for living by making copies
Of vanloos and Bouchers on the lids Of
snuffboxes and that for these medal
lions he was paid from 9 to s francs

why some Countries Are uninkablted

why some Countries Are Uninhabited
A mere glance at our maps lmpresses
a few general facts upon us. We see
that the largest areas Of the unknown
are now in lands that are too dry, as In
the Sahara, the desert OF Arabia, and
the steppes of Mongolia; lands that are
too wet and hot, stimulating almost i'm
penetrable forest growths, as In parts
Of the Amazon and Kongo basins;
lands that are too cold and bleak, as
portions of the northern areas of Amer
lea and Asia. Even the characteristics
Of the inhabitants influence the extent
Of the unexplored. In proportion to to-
tai area there is more unknown surface
in Liberia than in any other political
subdivision of the world, because the
Liberians. content to live along the
coast, have scarcely entered their vast
forest maze, though they TEEN with
rubber and other resources.-Cyrus @.

81 have collected specimens Of crabs
In all parts Of the world" said a nat
uralist. 'but shall never forget the
pleasure l experienced in securing a
monstrous specimen OF the Japanese
spider crab. the largest ever found.
The combined length Of the feeding
arms Of this monster was more than
twelve feet. while the body portion
was about twenty inches across. When
alive, It weighed about seventy-fve
pounds. One OF the oldest things
about these creatures is their ability
to assume disguise. This feat they
are able to perform owing to the fiexl.
billty of their plnchers and to the
hooked hairs and spines with which
their numerous arms are studded. BY
means OF their pInchers they. tear OF
small fragments Of sponges and sea-
weeds. After first putting these to
their months, which contain a glutinous
saliva, they place them on the sur
face of their limbs and bodies by
sticking them fast with a rubbing
movement. BY this method the crab
succeeds In completely changing its
appearance and rendering itself lndIs-
