Farming.

Do you believe that the farmer is
getting his share Of the profits on
his products?
Look at the difference in the way
tae average farmer lives and the
luxury the man enjoys that looks af-
ter the farmer.
No! Labor is not too high or
scarce! 1t is your method Of farming
that is to low and the lack Of brains
In your work>that makes things bad.
If man sweat comes too high, use
more horse sweat and improved i'm
plements in the mans place.
There is more than four times the
amount Of moisture and fertilizer re-
tanning power in land plowed twelve
inches deep than in land plowed only
three inches deep.
Fall plowing forwards spring work
and pulverizes the soil while spring
plowlng often makes clods and is
oFtsil too wet to plow. Pile three
acres Of land on top Of each other by
plowing deep in the fall, this, will
save two thirds Of the man labor and
Of the crop.

National Farmers Union Notes.

~~sA~S~-~A - ~$AAAS3 ~A&4SA ANVpVos
A little rambling maong the dele
gates at the National Farmers Union
would have convinced you that there
/ is something else in this Farmers
Union business besides lint cotton and
cotton seed. In addition to the army
Of cotton men there, the hog and corn
men from Illinois, the mule and to-
bacco men from Tennese and Ken
tucky, the fruit men from California
and wheat men from Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Washington we're there
talking over the prices received by
the consumers. The enormous profits
between these, the producers of farm
crops and the consumers IF the same
is the stuff that the great cities. and
towns, and railroads, and mansions,
and millionares and other big rich
things are made of, at the expense Of
the vast army Of poorly paid farmers
at one end and the profit paying con-
sumers at the other end.
A few extreme cases of unfair
dealing along this line were related
to the wrier as follows: A. truck
grower from the southern coast trac-
ed along with a car Of his tomatoes
to Chicago, where he saw basket Of |
them sell to a restaurant man for
about the same price he got for a
whole crata The southern truck
grower paid ten cents to this restau-
rant man for five thin slices Of the
'ame tomatoes the truck grower sold
1t about one thousand times less mon
".
Another fruit grower in Arkansas,
ecelving a return for a car Of fruit
hipped to northern market, stat
ne that the fruit arrived in bad con-
ition which brought very little above
reight and commission charges;
ound his own car Of fruit at the
unction O. railroad near his own
ome. A cotton grower shipped a
ar Of his cotton to commission house

Our Cotton Letter.

Theodore Price has now a woman
| between him and the fire, strainine
up cotton crop estimates to deceive
cotton farmers.
1t will take an army Of Price,
cotton women to get faithful Farm
er's Union mems cotton for less than
Is cents.
iChivalry must be at. a low ebb
among the knights Of Wall street
when they are forced to put up a wo-
man to stand the fire of indignation
at their vile attempts to get the
south's cotton for less than cost.
When knights of Annanias on
Wall street have exhausted their slp-
ply Of gall and tagged out in faith
among the people, it i sabout time for
them to trot out some cotton women !;
What next?
Is cts for lint and $40 per ton for
seed are Farmers Union prices.
Our Farmers Union members, who
can possibly do so, should now strain
every point to buy or retire every
bale Of cotton from off the market
that is in their power.
The only way to keep cotton above
the Is cts limit is not to sell any un-
til this limit is reached.
If We mistake not there are a lot
of merchants, farmers and common
spectators WI are now buying
cotton to hold for the Is cents mini
mum price. We are glad to note this
silent cooperation for our set prices.
Why not now 60 at it and buy up
you newt years cotton crop and
hold it for the fifteen dollars per bale 2
That is as safe calculation as your
profits are on your next years crop! |
Who is on the safe side, the cotton
farmer who has ten bales to sell at
lis own price or the one who has for
y bales That he is compelled to sell
It the other mans price.
At many places over the south
Vhere farmers are the principal. de-
'ositors in the banks these banks are

MAJOR JOHN A FAINT DEAD.
Prominent Citizen Of Union Passes
Away Suddenly.

Union, September 24.--Major Joa,
A. FAINT died at his home in this city
about 6 o'clock this morning, quite
unexpectedly. Major Fant has beer
in bad health for some time and re-
Gently returned from Johns Hopkins
Hospital, at Baltimore, but was on
the street yesterday, seemingly much
improved, and the announcement of
his death carried with it the shock of
complete surprise to the entire CON-
munity. The immediate cause of
death was heart failure.
John A. Fant was born near San
tuck, this county, on the 22d of April.
1858, the son Of David J. Fant. For a
number of years he was bookkeeper
and salesman for various business
concerns. Subsequently he became
member of the finn Of FAINT, McKis-
sick & Co., which was later incorpor-
ated as FAINT Brothers Company. He
was president Of this corporation at
the time Of his death, president of
the Monarch Cotton Mills, of the Un-
ion Building and Loan Association
and of the Peoples Supply Company,
vlce-president of Nicholson Banking
and Trust Company, director in the
Merchants and Planters National
Bank, chairman Of the board of
school trustees Of Union, trustee Of
Furman University and Of Greenville
Female College and deacon Of the
First Baptist Church Of this city. !!
He was also largely and directly !
interested in most of the smaller
business organizations. By his own
energy and ability he accumulated
arge property, and of it he gave with
free hand to all worthy objects.
His charities were on a large scale.
md especially to the work of the
Baptist Church, Of which he was
faithful member, were his bounties
generous and free. He gave literally
md cheerfully whenever called upon,
md it was largely through his gifts
hat the new and handsome Baptist
church Of this city was made posi- I
lie. In everything that made for the {
1oral or material upbuilding Of the !
ommunity he took an active and in s
7llleent interest. His loss will be 6
eenly felt. His ability and worth e
re shown by the many important
ositions he held.
Mr.. FAINT was married about tnen- s
7-seven years ago to Miss Ora i
Wilkes, Of Chester county. He is d
1rvived by his wife and four chill f
rem, namely: Mrs. ". n. Walker, f
Anderson; Misses Ora and Lily i
ant and J. Ray FAINT. b
Mr.. FAINT had taken the Shriner e.
egree in Masonry and was a Knight f,

AFTER THE TIGERS.
Chief Of Police Backed by Council De-
termined to Close up Blind Tigers
Citizens Asked to Help.

Whitmire, Sept. 25.-The chief 0.
police, Morse, reports lot Of fun o,
Wednesday morning. He found ;ou
where there were four gallons o1
wh1skey stored, supposed to be fo1
sale, and when he made an attempt
to seize it the party refused to give
1tiup. He sent back: to Mayor Holt
for a search warrant but before it
came the party who had the whiskey
in charge decided he had rather break
than to give it up so I guess that
suits the citizens Of W1itmire alright.
1t just saves Sheriff Buford Of this
trouble. ..
Our town officers say they Will stop
the whiskey busines if possible by
themselves, if not they will hare a
constable to assist them, for it is
against the laws of the State Of
{ South Carolina, the county of New
berry, and the town Of Whitmire, and
also the will Of true and living God,
for whiskey to be sold by blind IT,
gers.
say to the citizens Of the eommun-
ity if you don't help to enforce this
law you will never stop people from
selling waiskey. We, the taxpayers
} of this town and county, are the ones
who pay the officers Of this county
and it is our duty to help them en-
force the law.
We are all aware Of the fact that
blind tiger man will watch the off,
Ger and dodge him and sell some
good :citizen pint or a quart of booze
[and this good citizen will not say
anything about it.
Now men, you good farmers, who
would like to get your cotton picked
for forty cents per hundred, look in
ito this whiskey question and help to
stop it and you will find people will
be looking for work who have not
worked a lick in a long time, for they
cannot live if they DOM make money
some way; and when the officer takes
a jug Of whiskey from some sorry
rascal don't come and vouch for him
TO get it back.
Now, while the policeman of our
title town, by the authority of May I
r Holt, has decided to stop the blind
fger business, I feel it our duty to I
Fsist him in any way we can and I {
elieve it will be for the betterment t
ID the upbuilding of our town. He
az lose some friends by doing this E
1t what will that amount to. hope F
will look at it in this manner. 7
[ad rather have one good citizen for t
friend than half dozen blind tiger

! The chief Of police has been sue d
essful in all business so far and we o
ope he will exert every effort to be F
uceessful in this case. We are sat-
fled that the mayor and the whole d
ouncil will back him in anything he O.

there had. indeed. been no sale when
they We're last touched, and, further.
that they had been touched with Il

cent had been taken out. and further
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the burglar had not ceased operations
with the two registers. On the Office
desk lay an Ice hook and chisel. which
had been used to manipulate the lock
to the drawers OF the desk. which had
also been rified OF their contents. The
total loss amounted TO $3.50. More
might have been taken had tho burglar
been aware of the fact that the only
drawer he did not touch in which the
key, remained, contained exactly the
same amount.
