rtily springing from bed was at once

deavoring to beat out the fire, he was
In great danger, when from an inner
room, Lenafrushed out to his aid.
With her bare hands she stroye to
save her father, but her own light
clothing at once took fire. Joined by
his brother, Frank, the father, for
getting bis own danger, tried to save
his child. but maddened with the
pain the girl eluded their grasp, fled
to the window, threw 1t open and
launched herself like comet down
to the street.
AS the onlookers saw her leap, a
cry went up. The girl struck on her
back and head. sustaining a COM
pound fracture of the skull and such
Bevere injuries that at the hospital,
where she was taken, 1t was said her
chances Of life were very small. The
girls uncle also became enveloped in
flames and rushed to the street. He
was caught and rolled on the ground
until the flames were extinguished
and then rushed to Flower Hospital.

TWIN GIRLS UNITED AT HIPS.
Death May Result from Attempt to
Separate Them.

London, April "A Brighton wo.
man has given birth to twin girls,
who are united at the hips by what
is believed to be an indissoluble
bond of flesh and bone. DR.. James
Rooth. who is attending the case,
states that each child has a distinct
individuality, for one has been no.
ticed to be crying while her sister
was sound asleep. The babies are
Joined in such a way that they are
almost back to back, and they have
to sleep on their sides with faces
turned from each other.
1t Is believed that any attempt to
separate them would lead to the
death of one or both, but to ascertain
exactly whether this is so the chill
dren are to be photographed under
the X-rays in order to reveal the ma
ture of the connection. At present
the children are very healthy and
lively. Their mother Is poor, and the
strange twins have been adopted by
a childless woman.

on the part of the American Newspa-
per Publishers Association to obtain
legislation by Congress, putting print
paper and wood pulp on the free list,

Plain Living and High Thinking.

At our last meeting of this club one
brother read an essay on an article
he saw in a daily paper about the
prosperous condition of the farmers
In certain section where all were
paying cash for their -four, corn, ba-
con and feed stuffs. Why not raise
all these and save the cash? In COM.
ing to this meeting we met man
going home from town driving one
mule wagon, loaded with one sack Of
corn, two bales of hay, some small
bundles and one sack of fertilizer.
The club spent one hour discussing
the relative value and usefulness Of
this man, and whether he was really
to be classed as farmer or a cross
between a cotton bear, merchant, far
mer and fool! A committee Of
three was appointed to investigate
this man and make their final report
to this club on the 18th day of No
vember next.

Stand by Your Army.

Stand 5y Your Army.
a Rally. boys, rally around the ban
ner of the Farmers Union.
The advance OF the grand army of
the craftsmen of the farm marks the
beginning of the turning point of the
career of all those that have COM
bined to rob the farmer of the profits
on his honest labor.
The silent tramp, tramp, tramp, of
the onward movement of the Farm
ers' Secret Organization drives thrill
mics that equals that terror of the
new noiseless army gun. $
The farming industry of our coun-'
try as to strength, financially, is at
least five times that OF the combined
manufacturers of our country. Our
basic national industry Is agriculture.
Scarcely any combination of two
branches of other occupations equal
that Of our farms in products. Our
farmers not only feed them all,
but they lead them all In exports,
and cotton brings In all the bulk of
all the gold from other countries.
AS to the strength of the farmers
ballot and consequent power to cor
rect the evils of government, or inn
p.ove the economic conditions of
Crdue tnaI OppreSS our farming inter-
ests, our farmers, as body polite,
is a great sleeping giant, and when
aroused to action in self-defence, our
enemies may look out for shot In
their rear as they retire over the
fence that protects our farming in
terests. = - .e
What is it then, after all this, that
gets into the minds of farmers that
prompts them to bow down to others
and plead for help2 1t is not simply
the lack of education, which will re-
veal to them the benefits derived
from intelligent cooperation and uni
ted action for their mutual benefit.
1t is plain cowardice, and the lack of
grit. 1t Is not conservatism! No!
you can't pass around cowardice for
conservatism any more than you
could pass around whitewashed rye
for rice.

THE FARMERS UNION
NEWS BUREAS.
Conducted by the Executive
Committee, South Caro-
lima Farmers Union.
The Organization.

Trying to run a Farmers Union
without due obedience of It's consti-
tuion is something like trying to ride
colt without bride on him.
Early maturity, 1t is said, brings
nasty decay. Don't be too hasty
about learning the constitution and
graduating in the special course on
union principles.
Whilst you are at every day labor
Ing hard, with your nose and eyes
turned down between cotton rows,
trying to lift yourself out of the mire
by yourself, by hard tugging at your
own boot straps trying to coax your
freedom out of the soil by hard la
Dor alone, some slick duck is off
yonder weaving an agricultural web
to catch all the profits on your cotton
crop. Wake up there, old fellow,
and come out to the farmers meeting
and help head off these chaps that
neither toll nor spin, but they have
been thriving like the lilies Of the
field off Of the fat Of your lands and
labor
Now and then we meet up with O
bucking member in the union that
cannot be persuaded to pull true with
the members. After trying him thor
oughly with kind of bronco kinch
and an Oklahoma kicking strap and
crupper with no improvement, better
turn him out to grass. He is not
worth his keeping.
Human kindness and brotherly
love talk have no influence over that
class OF men that love to hum this
chorus: "All in, down and out--if I
ever get my hand on dollar again,
] am going to hold to it; it's my
only friend"
The social feature Of the Farmers
Union not only improves the moral
character of farmers, 1t also teaches
the benefits of cooperation in busi-
ness. When they learn how actual
dollars run into the members pock-
cts you may not worry about enthu-
siasm in the union. That will follow
as sure as smoke follows fire.

Cotton.

Not long since piece by William
f.. Curtis, In the Chicago Record, was
paraded In the newspapers over the
South with statement that the esti-
mated average cost of raising cotton
In South Carolina Is five cents the
pound. Wonder If he ever took his
wife and children out in the cotton
field and tried 1t? or If this noted
pencil pusher has made any test of
actual work along this line? This
same writer states in this article that
If cotton can be sold at ten cents the
planter can live in luxury. How
much luxury do you think man,
mule and his wife and two children
would get out of twelve bales Of cot
ton at ten cents, after paying for fer
tilizer, farm tools, rent or taxes, and
food for all? The average luxury,
according to the same statistics,
would have to come out of a net
profit of less than 500, If really any
profit at all went to the grower. If
Curtis can write out profits on the
cotton lands of South Carolina at ten
cents like he writes 1t out on paper
at ten cents, send him down here and
the cotton growers here will pay him
$40 for his services growing cotton
where he now gets one in pencil
pushing.
Every right thinking, honest man
In any occupation now owns up to the
fact that the holding up of the cot
ton from depressed market during
the panic Is all that saved the South
from financial ruin This standing
firm under fire by the Farmers Union
when New York financiers sprung
the big game" to kill the Farmers
Union and bankrupt the South, is the
one and only strong and stubborn
resisting force that warded off that
giant blow that was hurled at the cot
ton growers Of the South by those
moguls Of Hades. Very conservative
estimates on this saving Of organized
farmers Is never placed lower than
one hundred and fifty million dollars
saving to the South. Yes, indeed,
the Farmers Union has won great
victory in stubborn fight against the
combined capital of half the world.
Shame on that class of cotton grow
ers that have stood outside OF the
union and never turned q hand to
aid In this fight. The union has
made for the non-union farmers $40
to $15 per bale on all their cotton.
Now be good and own up.
