There Is lot of senseless fighting of corporations going on all the time and some of our own men are encour aging indiscriminate fights against all corporations and aggregations of capi tai. It is the aggregation of capital that is able to produce things cheaply and to market things expeditiously We need large corporations, and we must have them; we will always have wealthy men. and we need them They are the employers of men who are incapable of managing businesses but who are capable of doing efficient and profitable work with other mems tools and under their direction.

Since so many mills have invaded the sacred precincts of old South Caro- lima, most people have forgotten that the bulk of the population of that good old State still live on the farms. They have not forgotten 1t down there, and the Union is doing for the farm CTS of the Old South State what they have been trying down there to do for the last half century. South Caro- lima is one of the new States now.

MEETING SOME LADIES.

If 1t were not for the fact that ev. cry union man understands that the union Is first, last and all the time for the making ot the home brighter, happier and better, there might be some need of apology for the publi- cation of the following little story, whose source we are unable to trace. At any rate it is warm little clipping and we recommend it to every man, woman and child that ever had or expects to have home:
 A young fellow who had got into the habit of spending all his evenings senses in the following way:
 One afternoon his father came to him and asked him if he had an en- gagement for the evening. The young man had not.
 Well, I'd like to have you go some- where with me-"
 The young man himself tells what happened.
 "All right" said. "Where shall I meet your"
 "He suggested the Columbia Hotel at half-past seven; and I was there. When he appeared, he said he want ed me to call with him on a lady. One I knew quite well when I was young man." he explained.
 we went out and started straight for home.
 "'She is staying at our house. he said.
 q thought 1t strange that he should have made the appointment for the Columbia under the circumstances, but I said nothing.
 Well, we went in, and I was intro duced with all due formality to my mother and sister.
 "The situation struck me as funny, and I started to laugh, but the laugh died away. None of the three even smiled. My mother and sister shook hands with me, and my mother said she remembered me as a boy, but hadn't seen much of me lately. Then she invited me to be seated.
 "It wasn't . bit funny then. al- though I can laugh over 1t now. sat down and she told me one or two anecdotes of my boyhood, at which we all laughed. Then VIC four played games for awhile. When I finally re- tired, l was invited to call again. went up stairs feeling pretty small and doing a good deal of thinking.
 And then?" asked his companion.
 Then I made up my mind that my mother was an entertaining woman, and my sister bright girl.
 "I'm going to call again. I enjoy their company and intend to cultivate their acquaintance ."-Ex.

It is well to remember that the Union does not propose to take the duties and cares of life of the shoul- ders of anybody. No, not at all. It does propose to see to 1t that for these cares and responsibilities and for the labor of his hand7 and brain that the farmers of this country gets full pay-an honest dollar for the stuff that he has to sell, and a dollars worth of value for the dollar he spends, and all the imps of dark ness can not stop 1t on this mission.

If you are not in a position to fight the implement and vehicle trust, get in that position by building plenty of good store room for everything you have in the way of tools and vehicles. If you can make a wagon last twice as long under a good shelter as 1t would out in the weather, you have found the way to make a fight that will tell. Prepare plenty of good shelter for everything, and then don't stop there; put things under shelter every time after they are used.

There are not many communities in the South but which could vastly i'm prove their public schools by consoll' dation. Put two or three or even half dozen together. You can then have better buildings, better teachers and a higher course in the school. Your children will have broader ac' quaintance, and will be all the better for it. The first step is to get better roads, and then "club in" for the wagon and team to call for the chil, dren and carry them to the school house, CT good neighbors could carry the wagon week about" Anything for betterment of the schools. None of them Is a whit too good.

Of course in a free country like this,

Of course in free country like this, a man has some right to pick out the sort of fool he wants to be, but it does look like a man would not be so ornary as to pick out the sort of a fool that 1t takes to fight the men who are working for his interests. In other words 1t Is mighty hard to un- derstand why few fool fellows are still saying mean things about the Union.

Keep 1t always in mind that the Ma. tional and the State Unions are of very small importance compared with the local Union. They are not to be ignored for this reason, but as your interests are centered in the locality in which you live, so your interest stands in your local Union, reach ing out in lessening waves to the State and National Union.

In the upheaval that has been going on for some time, nothing has elicited greater attention than the shaking UT the Southern Railway has gotten in Alabama and North Carolina. This shaking up may not immediately bring results in dollars and cents to the people, but it will ultimately do so. It took some time for the cattle in vestigation to bear fruit, but if you will note the price of hogs. cattle and sheep now, as compared with thte selling price, you will need no spec. tacles to see where the stock raiser is making a winning. It is true the consumer is paying the big price, but it is equally true that the stock raiser is getting his part of the money.

The Farmers Union is out for a square deal, and that is all The wealth of this country comes almost solely from the ground, and it is easi ly discernable that the men who are tilling the soil are not making even the big end of the profits arising from the business. It Is likely that ii is their fault This is the business of the Union to find out and rectify If you are interested in simple justice you are interested in the welfare oi the Farmers Union. If the Farmers Union is not what 1t ought to be, this is your fault and the fault of those who know better how to run it than it is now run. Do you get the full import of these remarks?

It is pretty hard to get away from the proposition, Those who till the soil should own it." and it ought to be equally hard to get away from the proposition, Those who own the soil should till it.' This is the intention of God Almighty. He has made land, fire, air and water for all his creatures to use freely. It comes as a gift from His benefcence. and for you or me to have to carry part of the stuff that we may raise by arduous toll and dili. gent care to some one who has done none of the work, and give 1t to him simply because he happened to beat us to the land, isn't right, and all the sophistry on earth will not make it look even plausible. This does not mean that any one wants any radical revolution brought about, but 1t does mean that through a long course of time things have gotten wrong, and that this wrong should be lighted and with all the quickness possible outside of violence.
