COngressman Aiken.
The Anderson Intelligencer appe'

The Anderson Intelligencer appears
TO have some grievance against Con-
gressman Aiken and would be pleased
to have someone oppose him for re-
election. So far our contemporary
has said nothing against his ability
or his fidelity as public servant for it
would be impossible to do so with rea-
son. He is frankness Iersonified and
it is easy to tell how he stands on all
public questions. AS a Congressman
he has reflected honor upon this con-
gressional district and the State by
his honest and honorable course. In
these times of suspicion not whisper
has ever been heard against his hon
esty. He saves little even from his
salary. No man Is more economical
in supplying his individual wants and
vet no man, of bis means, could be
more liberal in deeds of, charity.
Wyatt Aiken makes no claims to
oratory but talks in such plain Eng
lish that everybody understands him
and he is such q worker that he &C
complishes as much as any Of his
predecessors. He is a man of the peo-
ple and meets every call made on him
cheerfully, promptly and effectively.
His experience in public life, knowl-
edge Of the needs and aspirations of
all the people make him more than
ever the man for the place.-Abbe-
vile Medium.

Why Latin IL Used.

A great many people wonder why
physician writes his prescription in
Latin. There are two principal rea-
sons assigned. First, though obsolete
as language, Latin is the universal
tongue" employed by the chemists
and pharmacists of every country.
The physician, therefore, employs
Latin terms that his prescriptions may
be understood under all circumstances.
The second reason; good one, is that
no matter in what country q prescrip-
tion may be written, it may be correct
ly filled by the pharmacists of any 9th
er cline. Thus Greek doctor may
give bis native countryman prescrip-
ton in America, and, though unable
to speak word of English, he could
have 1t correctly filled in this country.
Another reason, perhaps unjustly as
signed, is said to be the disposition to
conceal the contents Of many simple
formulas from the patient, that the
charge of physician and pharmacist
alike may be projected.
This is rather selfish view to take,
however. But in the case of old estab-
lished formulas, long tried and proven,

After analyzing all the more con
servative and intelligent estimates of
the cost of the present crop of cotton
at hand, this bureau can assure the
growers that this crop of cotton will
cost much more per acre to grow than
was ever known before. The extern
sive replanting with very costly seed,
the cold wet grassy weather, with bad
stands and costly labor combine 10
make the cost per acre alarmingly
heavy. Just here it is we'll for our
pricing conventions to weigh carefully
all these important factors of cost OF
production before their pegs are driven
down at the figures for this crop.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
The rich have the most meat, the
poor the best appetite. The rich lay
the softest; the poor sleep the sound
est. The poor have health, the rich
have delicacies. The rich kill them
selves through fear of poverty; the
poor laugh and sing, and love their
families too well to put the light out
of their own life.

as though farmers were dangerous and
it was the duty of farmers TO do the
voting only whilst others direct them
how to cast their vote.
EVER THINK ABOUT THIS?
That when the farmer names his
price for his products that give him
reasonable profit, that the farmer has
about the same right to know how
much money the purchaser has in his
pocket to pay for the farmers cotton,
as the buyer has to know how much
cotton the farmer has in his ware
house.
If buyers reason that they must
nave cOttUn cheaper because farmers
have made better crops, then, farmers
must demand more money for his cot
ton because the buyers have made bet
ter profits out of the cotton than the
farmer who made the cotton Farm
ers are to blame for this state of affairs,
it is not the men that take the profits.
Cotton warehouses may control the
supply of cotton to suit the demand,
just the same as the money vaults
hand out the proper amount Of money
to satisfy the demand by cotton. Cot
ton will keep about as long in a good

FARMERS UNION BUREAU.
Conducted by S. G. Farmers Union

The State meeting of the Farmers
Union called to meet at Greenwood
the 25th, Goth, 9th of July, begins to
look like it is going to be a grand rally
and red letter day for representative
farmers of the State.
o. F. Pile, of Texas, Ben F. Griffin,
of Arkansas, and r. F. Duckworth, OF
Georgia, are to have talk to the far
mers organization at the Greenwood
meeting, and We take this opportunity
to put Greenwood on notice to spread
herself, and make room, for the signs
are right for something doing at
Greenwood at this July meeting OF
the farmers.
The speaking at Greenwood will be
public and everybody is invited to at
lend. A special invitation is extend
ed to the yet unorganiZed class of far
mers.
Whether delegates or not, we urge it
as duty to all Farmers Union men to
attend this Greenwood meeting. New
delegates have equal rights with dele
gates to the floor, but none save regu-
lar delegates can vote at this meeting.
Begin now to prepare yourselves TO
put the right men in the right places
at the coming meeting. For your sue
cess or failure depends upon this.
Vote for no man for the poor reason
that he is your friend or comes from
your section. Don't try to stop two
inch hole with a half-inch peg, nor try
to trot out a ten-cent man to do a dol
lar job. Vote for the right mar for
the place every time.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The editor of this Bureau is going to
make an effort to attend as many OF
the South Carolina Farmers Institutes
this summer as possible, and will be
delighted to meet and talk with the
progressive element of the farming
fraternity at these meetings. Not
with view of teaching progressive
farmers how to farm, but we are out
to learn what our up-to-date farmers
are doing and how they do it, so that
| may tell others about it as we pass
around among them. If you think
J. our Farmers Union Bureau is on the
right track give us few encouraging
words and if you think we are wrong
in any way point out the facts and we
will thank you.
no DOUBT ABOUT THIS.
1t is the want of will, not the want
of power that makes the farmer yield
tamely to graft and greed.

Kriesel's dogs and cats proved to be one
of the best trained animal acts on the
local stage for long time. They are
heading the bill this week at the People s
theater, where number of good vaude-
Vile acts make up an interesting program.
Another prominent feature on the bill is
Grace Orma, singing and dancing SOU
brette, who stands six feet two in her
stockings and keeps the audience in the
best of humor with her clever limitations,
impersonations and witty monologue.
other acts worthy of mention are Rome
singers and dancers, Miss Ferguson being
a daughter of the famous Irish comedian
Barney Ferguson, and she has certainly
inherited all her fathers talents as an en-
tertainer. Gilman and Castle, black-face
comedians, have a good act and introduce
number of new comic songs and paro-
dies. Homer Long still wins his share OF
applause with new illustrated songs. while
the Peoples comedy company, supporting
James P. Lee in his one act farce,

strongest bills the Peoples theater has
had since it's opening.

degeneracy from Gods ordained law OF
Love ye one another is paraded as

to the beauties of all God gave to
cherish and elevate the human heart
above the brute level.
No charity looks out on the world
for help and blesses Hetty Green. No
burdened heart or sinking soul ever
uttered her name in thanks or prayer
to God. No great plan of large-hearted
manhood for the uplifting of the sub

and no one, even of her sex, has ever
had cause to know that the virtue OF
sympathy or pity are known to her.
Her course In life is like unto that of a
derelict at sea, attracting universal at
tention and interest only because Of the
danger 1t is to all the world besides.
All that is in legend, song or story
that ennobles mankind and stays the
soul against the cruel inroads of
fatalism; all that makes the world a
pleasant place to live in because of
good hearts and kind deeds all that
makes sacred the cradle of the babe
and the shroud of old age; all that
makes 1t possible to live in the real hell
of the present and to hope for the real
heaven Of the hereafter are living and
eloquent condemnations of such lives;

with brotherly love and pity It must
resent the claim that such life can be |
classed as anything but miserable

HETTY GREEN

A LONDON, England, publication Is
~ authority for the statement that
Hetty Green, our Hetty, she of
the flannel bag and 25-cent spectacles,
is 1.-THE smartest woman in Americal"
holding up the measure Of her great
wealth to prove its statement. If this
statement were unqualifiedly true what
a lot of smart women they must have
in England! Peeresses, duchesses,
countesses by the score have millions
to their credit there, and yet no sane
man would attribute smartness to the
dowager womanhood of Great Britain.
There is erroneous impression abroad
concerning Hetty Green and her great
wealth which finds a remarkable work
in her supposed saving of so many mil
lions from nothing to begin with. Hetty
Green inherited $6,40O00o in her own
right, and when she married Edwin
II. Green he brought $10O0,00O to the
family purse, and Hetty's methods have
added to the total till it is safely said
It amounts to $SO,OOOOOO, and is daily
increasing by leaps and bounds. Mrs
Green's daily income, since the death
OF her husband five years ago. has ave-
ragged $4,000, and her personal expenses
OF living are kept very close within $5(
per month. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that her daily lunch costs

SOMETHING LACKING

HHE driving out OF the Hlndus and
Japanese in Belllngham and Van.
couver and the organization OIL
the "hobos' OF the land at st. Louis
Mo-, are far apart as to locality, but
very near as to cause and effect.
The hobo, like the brutal rioter. Is
something to fear and exterminate-
all men are agreed on this-but before
the people exterminate those we have
It would seem wise to remove the
causes that made them, to the end
that another army of hobos and labor
rioters does not spring up to take their
places.
The tendency OF the contract system
for all building and public utilities
under the keen competition 1t develops
is to make cheap labor a cardinal ele-
nent in the success Of the individual
contractor, and the item of wages is
the one most earnestly considered in
preparing bids on proposed work. Con-
tractors. being ordinary human beings,
crowd this element all 1t will bear, and
the resulting fights OF the organized
forces in the labor market make it next
to impossible for non-union tradesmen
and laborers to get paying employment
They are thus forced to go from place
to place, frequently on brakebeams or
in box cars. hoping to find better con-
ditions, but learn that, as the close
figuring contractor is universal, so also
is the union labor man. His surround
ings and experiences in these nomadic
journeys cultivate the vagabond in
him, and in time he becomes thorough
hobo, believing every mans hand is
against him and ready to take advan-
tage when and where he can.
Back of the cause of keen competition
in contracts lies the first cause of the
hobo's existence. Combinations hold all
materials used in building at the very
highest prices, alleging that the COM
mon carriers held them for the very
highest freight rates, and to get in a
successful bid with material at sky
high prices the contractor cuts on the
only element over which he has dis
cretionary Judgment, viz, labor, and
the hobo is the natural outcome.
Beginning with the telling of the tree
in the forest and the mining of the
several ores in the hills, the inequality
between the workingman and his en-
ployer grows greater as he advances
through the manufacturing trades till
in the final contract for use of the
finished product he is squeezed between
the Scylla Of contractor driven by
competition to allot starvation wages,
and the Charybdis of his unionized fell
lows, who dcspise him, while fighting
for the same privilege he covets.
Now comes in the contractors and
employers solvent of the trouble in
the form of hordes of alien coolie labor,
and instntly all the anger of both and
all other classes of workingmen is
aroused and the scenes of Bellingham
and Vancouver result.
II seems plain enough under the cir
cumstances that something more than
unionism is needed by the men, and
something less than ruinous COMPETE
ton by the employers.
