The Farmers Union Rally
and Picnic at Heath Springs.

According to notice previously given,
saturday. Aug. 22nd. Through the
good Offices of w. u. Caskey, chairman
executive committee OF the county un-
ion, and the efficient agent of the South
ern railway AT Lancaster, the train ear
ricd an extra coach that day and we all
reached there in due time. When we
arrived at the famous mineral spring
we found II great crowd gathered al
ready, and for two or three hours Nchi-
cles of all descriptions continued To ar
rive until one of the largest crowds ever
assembled at Heath Springs was on the
grounds.
Bro. w. y. CaSkey, at 1915, called
the meetin. 10 order from stand which
people of Heath Springs. The first
thing on the program was prayer by
Rev. Il. T.. Small, OF the Baptist church.
Immediately following this was the ad
dress of welcome by Prof. Stoddard.
Mr.. Claude y. Sapp responded to the
speech of welcome on the part of the
Farmers Union. The speaker of the
day, Mr.. Il. Harris, president of the
State Union, was then introduced and
proceeded to deliver an address on or
ganization, cooperation and diVersitica-
ton. Mr.. Harris had his subject well
in hand and made strong speech,
which was well received and will result
in great good to the Farmers Union
and to the farmers of Lancaster county.
Mr.. Harris does not grow cotton him
self, but raises grain and stock. He
spoke for one hour and II half and was
listened to with marked attention ali
as we had no stenographer To take it
down-wish we could have it published
in full.
DIR. Il. j. Strait was then called upon
and for twenty five minutes held the
audience spcll-bound, telling us why
we should hold on to our cotton. The
Hon. Geo. w. Jones then spoke, max
ing an interesting address and one to
the point. This closed the speaking.
Dinner was announced and there was
plenty of the very best. The candidates
were there shaking hands and making
friends. y little before three o'clock
we started for the depot and were
caught in a shower of rain, but we ar
rived home safely about p. m, feeling
that we had spent very profitable and
enjoyable day for all and especially for
the Farmers Union.
