The Farmers Union

The Farmers Union is an agri-
cultural school at your door: it's
open to every farmer, as we'll as
his wife, daughter and sons. Many
a farmer who knows very we'll how
to raise crops has not mastered the
business of selling. This the Union
helps him do. There should be more
sympathy between the man who
farms on a large scale and the man
who operates but a small farm.
Both must sell in the same market,
and both should help to fix the price
of their product The farmer who
works with his brains doubles the
earnings Of his hands.

very short time when you will be
reaping the good things that are
bound to result from cooperation.

KILLED ON RAILROAD.
Negroes Meet Death Within Few
Miles of Each Other.

There were two negro men killed
on the Southern railway near Bam-
berg within a radius Of six miles
within "a hours. One appears to
have been the result Of stealing a
ride on the roads. while the other
seems to have been case OF sui
eide.
The first to occur was the case
above Denmark, and an unknown ne
gro man was the victim. From what
can be learned this man was seen
Dassing Lees and is said to have ap-
peared very morbid, saying that he
was going from his home in Black
Vile, where he had recently lost his
wife. When the body was found 1t
was seen that the man had made de-
liberate plans for suicide; he had
made a bed of Chinaberry leaves and
limbs between the cross ties, plac-
ing his head on the rail. The car
wheel struck diagonally across his
face, and cut off part OF his elbow
which was across the rail seemingly
holding the head on one side. There
was nothing abcut his clothing by
which he could be identified.
X The other death occurred just
about two and a half miles above
Bamberg, near the home of Mr.. j.
II. Hadwin. Judging from the many
bruises about the body and from the
manner in which he was cut by the
train wheels. the man was riding on
the rods of freight train and per-
haps fell asleep or lost his balance
in some way. There was an enve-
lope found in the clothing address
ed to William Bogg. 1t is thought
that this negro came from Branch
vile, where his mother is said to
DE living.

come the name Of the Confederate
soldier. We bow TO the honored
remnants Of the greatest army that
the world has ever known. We
would marvel that such men could
ever have been ranQuished if we did
not know that they were finally over
powered by the vast preponderance
of numbers and resources. 1t must
be admitted that the South made Il
gallant fight.
We doff our hat in the fullest
faith that posterity will honor and
prrpetratc the story Of a just and
heroic struggle. While our hearts
are beating weaker and our steps
are slower and fecbler. yet every
throh is conscious memory OF L
lust and righteous cause.

R0BBER CAUGHT
ONE OF THE GANG THAT ROBBED
a STORE AT BAMBERG.
Frank Bennett. Confessedly One of
the Gang, Captured After Fight at
Denmark.

denmark.
A dispatch from Bamberg to the
Augusta Chronicle says what has IN
it the possibility of muchl develop
ment of & series of crimes and rob-
beries has been discovered there by
the CAPTURE of Frank Bennett, con-
fessedly one of the gang of five which
entered the mercantile establishment
of II. ]. Brabham, Jr., on wednesday
night and carried off perhaps three
or four hundred dollars worth OF
goods, consisting Of shoes, clothing
etc.
Bennett was captured by a posse
right at Denmark Thursday night al
ter a chase lasting several hours.
Parties from Bamberg have been con-
stantly on the go ever since the roo-
berry was discovered and have been
following UP every clue obtainable.
The gang OF five was seen IN old
Denmark Thursday night about dusk
and were discovered with large
part of the stolen goods. Three
sacks of shoes have been recovered.
Dan Jeter has been chased, Dut
without success. Rumors are con-
stantly coming in, but not many
amounting to anything. Thursday
night when the robbers were re-
ported from Denmark they were pur-
sued, but only Frank Bennett cap
tured. He has given the name of the
gang as follows: Jim Williams, Dan
Jeter, Jr., Henry and Levi Hanes
and himself.
In is possible that the party which
has been operating so extensively IN
this section for the past six months
has been discovered. It is even like
ly that this same gang might have
had a hand in the wrecking OF the
fast passenger train near Denmark
about two months ago.
Certain it is that this crowd has
been to Bamberg before, for Ben
nett was found with revolver which
has been identified as the one stolen
from the repair shop of j. B. Brlckle
several weeks ago.
In the chase Thursday night shots
were fired several times, and 1t is
reported by some that the negroes
returned the fire at one time. A re-
ward OF SIS has been offered for the
apprehension and conviction of the
guilty parties. Strict watch IS De-
ing kept at every turn for the thieves
and it is felt here that it is only a
matter of time before several others
of the gang will be caught.

NEW ROWING IDEA
Club Will Have Honorary
Head Instead of Cap
tain of Crew.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-CoIumbia has
begin the experiment Of having am
honorary head Of the rowing club
instead OF a captain Of the varsity
crew. as has been the custom here
tofore.
f. H. Saunders. 10. who royved No.
in the 1908 and 1899 varsity eights.
has been nominated by committee
Of the rowing club for the presidency
OF the club. He would have been
elected captain in June. but the new
position will not carry as much actual
authority over the crew as the old
position. =. Renshaw. II. No. in
the 1908 crew and how i'm last Iunes
eight, has been nominated for the vice
presidency.
At a mass meeting held last week
r. Y. MahOn. 10. was unanimously
elected manager OF the crew for the
coming season, and W. Kinney. j.
assistant manager. The report OF
the season Of 190S-09 has not been
completed. but &c IS expected that
there will be small surplus in the
treasury. Last year rowing began
with a deficit Of $4,000.
