Nearly $4,000
Given Away
This Amount in Premiums
and Purses at State Fair
this Year.

With scarcely single exception the
race purses to be given at the State
Fair this year will be the biggest In
the whole South. Something over
$4,000 will be the total amount of
purses for these great races this year.
and there will probably be a few hun
dred more added by the time the races
start.
Never before In the history Of the
Fair association-for 80 years-have
the officials been able to get up such
fine races. Some of the best horses
on the popular race course will COM
pete at Columbia this season on the
Fair race track. The enthusiasm
among the owners and trainers in
South Carolina for home raised racers
is at fever heat already. BY the time
the Judges get ready to call 60" at
the Fair Grounds the excitement will
be most intense. Some very fast
horses are already scheduled to run
during Fair Week and the trotting
purses will bring some Of the most
renowned horses ever seen on South
ern track. Its a case OF money talks
attracted hundreds of the big racers
fr ON all over the country.
The entries for exhibits this year as
recorded are much .bove the average
Of previous years. Particular atten-
ton seems to be given to the agricul-
the best cotton and the best corn and
experiments for improving stock and
all kinds Of implements will be dem
onstrated. 1t Is useless to say that
this Fair will be the best in the his
tory of the association when such a
large sum Is offered for competing
exhibitors-over $4,000 as premiums.
The dates this year are Oct. 28 to
Nov. l., inclusive. And every day will
be crowded with pleasure and profit.
Football and athletics. balls and the
atres, the famous Midway will be
simply marvellous.

could do more good for the union by
staying out and advising others to
join. This fellow must consider him
self nothing more than o left over
piece OF timber after the bridge is
built. Where would the timber come
from to build Farmers Union out of
II all the farmers We're of the leftover
timber kind like this fellow?
1t is said that the lack OF education
is the reason why farmers are so slow
about organizing and cooperating.
IL we could fedd education down
these mems throats we would place
education In tin cans in the stores by
the quhrt or pint, and soon have the
whole gang of mortgaged, ignorant
farmers graduated and toting diplo-
mas sround on the farms. This poor
fellow writes letter to object to our
recommendations for substituting
horse sweat sol 1uan sweat. He
thinks man sweat TOT, cheap already.
Well, now that may be the case in
some instances, but IT. is not the case
on the farm, and will sly that IL this
man Is farmer who ',jects to the
use of more horse sweat on the farm,
he needs the use OF NOR, horse sense
mixed In his every day work.
No. Bill, there is nothing In the
Farmers Union for yol, unless you
go In after 1t, and cooperate with
the union after you get in. Simply
Joining the union and not working
after you get III is pure bluff.
A letter just at hand from State
Secretary b. f. Earle states that he
has written about one hundred char
ters for the South Carolina Division
of the Farmers Union during the
last sixty days.
This certainly shows some fine
work as we'll as some quarreling
among some. of our officers. Boys,
quarrel some more.

Handling Long Staple Cotton.

In order to camm. ID the highest
prices, inland long staple should be
picked out when dry and stored in
the seed at least two months before
ginning. This plan Seasons" the
whole mass to one uniform condition
and no doubt this seasoning adds to
the weight, strength and texture of
the lint.
All black-seed cotton Is best ginned
on roller gins, but the fuzzy seed
sorts may be well ginned on common
smooth tooth, or slow running, dull
teeth gins. Where the cotton farmer
handles his cotton mostly with his
own family, or can command clean
gathering and proper cultivation, he
may easily get one-third more for his
labor by growing long staple cotton.
In picking 1t pays to separate the
pickings, If possible, into first, second
and third. Barring storms, the sec
ond picking brings the best prices. In
order to keep up the quality &And
breed of long cotton 1t is necessary
to select the seed in the field every
season.
These deductions are gathered from
many sources Of experience of practi-
cal growers Of long cotton as we'll as
our own observation.
For the Union.
If you have joined the union and
do not attend the meetings regularly
you are only about half a scholar or
less in the union.
II you belong to the union and then
kick or talk about the dues, you are
simply wanting your workers for the
union to quit their own work and go
out to work for your interest without
pay How much better Is the man
that don't pay his dues to the union
than the men he is supposed to be or
ganized to head Off?
A we!l-meaning farmer said that he
believed In the union, and thought he

finland Long Staple" Versus "ses
Island Cotton"

E. lSuanu COtCOn.' .#. 49,.
In their deliberations on naming
minimum prices on long staple cotton,
the committee appointed by the Far
mers' Union at Little Rock, did not
think 1t wise to undertake the task of
making a discrimination among the
various kinds of long staple, but
thought 1t best to recognize the fact
that as the original "Sea Island" cot
ton has not been grown to perfection
and reproduced on any other land ex-
cepting the sea islands, that all other
long staple cotton grown on main
land should be distinguished from the
Sea Island as Inland long staples"
and classed by numbers as Is already
being done to som extent. At the
date OF pricing cotton by the union
number one East Florida" long sta-
pie was selling at 40 cents per pound, ,
and all other grades OF inland long
staple was set at the same rates, ac-
cording to grade.
1t Is well to state here that In order
to get fancy prices one must produce
fancy, clean, long staple. Some of
the highest priced sea islands that
sell from SO to rs cents are gathered
by pulling off the mature bolls, clean
of leaf, and drying the bolls under
shelter. In few years one and two
inch staple cotton will be common all
over South Caro- ina Clemson Col
lege, In the upper part of the State,
has grown some three-inch cotton and
some farmers in the upper part of the
State are now growing from 400 to
500 pounds Of one and half to q
inch cotton per acre.

A COurtship Comedy.

A good-looking, well-to-do bache.
lor OF Manchester was being teased
by some young women of his ac-
quaintance for not being married.
He said: III marry the one of you
whom on a secret vote you elect to
be my wife, There were nine wo-
men In the company. Each one went
into a corner and used great caution
in preparing her ballot and disguis-
ing her handwriting.
The result was that there were
nine votes cast, each receiving one.
The man remains a bachelor, the
friendship Is broken up, md the wo-
men, all mortal enemies, united in
the one determination that they will
not speak to the man again.--The
Taller.
