The annual meeting Of the South
Carolina State Farmers Union, soon

the history of this organization. The
meeting will convene in the hall Of
the house of representatives, State
house. Columbia, S. c., Wednesday,
July p, 1910, at $50 p. NJ, and will
probably continue in session until
about noon, Friday, July 20, 1910.
Quite a number of subjects Of in
terest to the Farmers union and the
AGRICULTURAL class generally will be
taken up for discussion. Reports will
be made of the work in the various
counties in the State, showing the
lines of activity and the organized ef-
forts made to educate the members Of
the union and secure practical results
along the line Of the objects and pur-
poses set forth in the preamble to the
constitution
Reports will be made from the work
OF. the National union, the condition
Of the order in other States, and from
the st. Louis meeting in May, 1910.
The building and management OF
warehouses will no doubt be taken
up along. with other important busi-
ness subjects.
We have every reason to believe
that definite plans will be discussed
and arrangement made to revive and
reorganize the union wherever neces-
sary in counties already organized
and to introduce the order into un-
organized counties, or parts OF coun-
ties, thereby gaining foothold in
new territory.
The constitution of the South Caro-
lima State Farmers union will no
doubt be revised and rearranged So
that when printed again It can be in
dexed with subjects properly classi-
fed.
We are very anxious to secure as
large an attendance as possible, both
of delegates and visiting members.
: While the voting power will be con-
fined to the regularly elected dele
gates, all the members Of the union
in. good standing are allowed by the
constitution to attend the State un-
ion meeting, and as many as can come
are hereby cordially invited.
