That is they are ready to takes
stock in anything that will be for
the interest of the farmer. There
are twenty-five or thirty members

fifteen centa. Mr.. J. G. Stribling
VIE is a great farmers union man,

Good Results From Organization.
The farmers of the Piedmont
section are better organized than
in any other part of the state,
and, as a result of thorough or
ganization, much more is being
accomplished in the upper coun-
ties along the line of holding cot
ton than in the lower counties. 1t
is authorilatiyely stated that $500
bales of cotton are now stored in
the town of Anderson, and that
through the Farmers Union ar
have been made for
storing 4,500 additional bales. If
such work as this were being done
in every county throughout the
entire cotton belt, receipts would
be very materially changed and
the price show a marked advance
instead of eteady decline.
From the moment it WIS sug-
gested, The Advertiser has believ-
ed in and advocated organization
on the part Of the farmers. 1t is
their only hope. In an individual
capacity, the farmers of the south
have little strength and are un-
able to cope with opposing forces,
but collectively they would have
the strength of armies.
The wonder is that farmers
manifest go little interest in mat.
ters that affect them 80 vitally.

A beautiful Precedent.

The old English custom, that
Of the winner of a civil suit pre-
senting the jury with 81, is still
almost rellgiousiy observed in our
American courts. The foreman
usually purchases cigars with the
amount and the jurors indulge in
a quiet smoke. But an Anderson
jury departed last week from the
usual custom and established a
beautiful precedent by giving the
81 to worthy carpenter who was
recently deprived of a limb by a
fall from a building. Not satisfied
with giving SO small a sum, each
of the Jurors went down in his
pocket and supplemented the
amount.

the following from the Yorkvil!e

"If South Carolina desires 10

ness, she must prosecute and pun
ish her criminals. Every man
should feel that to the extent he
undertakes to condone any crime

MINER IS STRICKEN BY INSANE DELUs|ON
Believes He Is Lost In Woods Is Veteran of War-NoW
 in Insane Asylum,

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 27.-Un. kempt in appearance. and laboring under the hallucination that he Is lost in the woods and can not see, Archie Griffin. a miner, was placed in the asylum for the insane last night.
 Griffin, up to two months ago, was among the most industrious and en, terprising miners in the Big Bug and McCabe ditsircts. When first stricken with sympt1ns of insanity he was taken in charge by the sheriff's office at Prescott and after being confined in the county jail for few days was sent to the hospital, where he was accord, ed the best of care, but he gradually grew worse, ali hope for his recovery being given up by the attending physi- cians. He believes he is lost in the woods.
 When spoken to he cries like child and appears to have no knowledge of his surroundings. His head hangs down and he walks with a staggering gait. He is subject to occasional spells during which he acts like one afflicted with epilepsy, and seldom makes any attempt at answering questions, and then speaks in a low, muttering. al most lOauulDle IOne- lie mas no FecOi- lection of his past life, with the ex- ception of his enlistment during the Spanish-American war.
 Griffin is a native of Bainbridge, Ireland. and is about 40 years Of age. From papers found on his person 1t appears that he owned and operated a farm iD Nebraska before arriving in Montana, ten years ago. He enlisted In the Third United States Volunteer Cavalry, in Montana, April 25s 1898, and was mustered out at the close of the war, at Chickamsuga. September 8, 1898.
 He has been a resident of this ter ritory for the past eight years, and up to the time when stricken with in sanity was very popular among the miners with whsm ne wo: Ked. He was cheerful in dispoM.ioa and in clined always to look upon the sunny side of life. He is unmarried and has a brother. John Griffin, living in Den yer. who has been notified of his con dition.

PHOENIX. Arizona, April 27.- After suffering for nine years with an affliction that his physicians had pronounced gallstone, Van Johnson, was operated upon in Phoenix this week at the Arizona Sanitarium and found to be afflicted, not with gall, stone. but appendicitis.
 Johnson came here several years ago and had been told before leaving Globe that his only chance of life was a thorough operation, and that the strong probability was that he would not survive
 Dr. Wyiie was called upon to per. form the operation, and after an ex. animation was bonv5nced that ,the man was not sufferer from gall. stone at all
 He operated for appendicitis. John son rallied nicely, and is now be lieyed to be on the road to recovery. although not yet out of danger.
 Johnson is a son of Mrs E. A. Johnson, residing on East Washing ton street, and Is we'll known in Phoe- nix. having grown up in this city. He has been living in Globe for the rast several years and it is since going there that he has been troubled with the affliction that misled several Globe doctors to believe that he was a suf- ferer from gallstone.
 It is hard to judge what effect an operation for gallstone would have had upon the patient had not Dr. wy lis discovered the mistake of the Globe surgeons.
