An Appeal to Farmers to Organize

a
The Convention Of the Farmers
Union, held in Greenville recently,
brought out The fact that Edge
field county IS poorly organized,
1t is not necessary ber, to dis
cuss the Importance of an organl-
cation among the farmers. All adj
nit that an organization of some
kind is very much needed al d
those who are familiar with the
object aad aims, and the internal
workings OF the Farmers Union,
say that il is just what is Leeded-
1t not only enables its members
to market their cotton crop most
advantageously but it also enables
them to buy supplies and other
necessaries at a much lcwor figure
that can be had by outsiders.
What we want to do is TO arouse
the interest Of the farmers OF
Edrnfeld and TO get them TO or
es,.ize more clubs. This COUNTY
has only four clubs while spme OF
TIE upper counties Of The state
have as many as seventy clubs
with mem bership OF over "a thou-
saud. 1t is not Edge6-ld's way to
lag behin.l. Heretofore sh4 has
olwo,s taken The lead in any
movement looking to the better
ment of her citizens.
The Club at Plum Branch MAS
organized about year ago ano

with the benefits derived from it.
The present officers are: S. w.
Wideman. President; j. L. Lang

The unde,signed, O. D. White

Concerning Granting Bail.

The press Of the state has re-
Gently INDUCED in rather caustic
criticism of The judges for their
.proneness TO grant bail in murder
cases. And, unfortunately, there
is much real ground for this
criticism. 1t has come to pass Ill
South Carolina that one man can
shoot another down and secure q
release from the custody of the
officers of the law. in lees than
forty-eight hours. There are cases
of justi6able homicide which
should not deprive a citizen of bic
liberty even for a day; on the
other hand, there arc aggravated
cases that should he refused bail.
In these aggravated cases bail
should not be granted for two rea-
sons: First, releasing prisoner
generally leads to a change OF
sentiment in favor of the accused.
The public, especially those per-
sons who are ignorant of the facts
connected with the killing, will
say that the judge who granted
bail was in doubt as to the guilt
of the party or bail would have
been refused. Second, when once
released on bond it Is frequently
a difficult matter to bring the &C
cused to trial. Counsel through
some technicality or fimsy pre-
text will secure continuance after
continuance, knowing that all the
while people are losing sight of
the enormity of the crime.

Edgefeld county received about

Benefited by Organization.

In another column is published
ar appeal to the farmers of this
county to, organize and bee me a
branch of the Farmers Union,
which organization has proven a
great boon to the farmers of the
Piedmont section of this state as
well as in other states. The Ad-
vertiser has always been an ad-
vocate of organization and con-
certed action on the part of the
farmers.
One incident alene will suffice
to prove that great 5epe6t comes
to the agricultural interests
through organization. 1t Will be
remembered that several years
ago when the producers of cotton
were being Systematically robbed
through Leakage" in the Agri-
cultural Department, the officials
of the Cotton Growers Association
charged that the crop estimates
compiled by the government were
being manipulated or used y.the
speculators to the detrinlent of
the producers, and demanded an
investigation. Forthwith the heads
of the Department took the matter
up and found the charges to be
true. Had an individual farmer
or the farmers of given neigh
borhood brought such q charge
no beed would have been given 20
it, and the leakage, more properly
robbery, would have continued to
this day. No further proof of-tbe
benefits that accrue from concert.
