1t is again rumored that certain
business interests in Sumter will
make a determined effort this fall
run the Farmers Brokerage Com
pany out of business by raising a pool
of $4,000, and that one firm that
has been built up by the farmers
trade will contribute 100000 to
this fund. All that we have to say is
that we hope this is true for the far
mers can and will absorb this s25.
10000, and as many more dollars as
the interested parties see fit to put
up. We consider this "easy money"
Then we hear that the retailers of
groceries are going to refuse to Sell
TO patrons of the Brokerage Co. All
right boys! We buy entirely too
much OF the canned stuff you have on
your shelves, and we welcome the
disinterested interest you show in our
welfare by refusing to sell us any
more. 1t will be better for our health
and our pockets. Thank you.

think that the Farmers Union is

In mind we are not running away
from one. In the pursuit Of our own
business In our own way, If we can't
down the profits OF some Of the trade
class we have no apologies to make
nor are we fighting them, but when
they try to coerce us by threats Of
various kinds or by actual combat
then we reserve the right not only to
defend our own interests and rights
but to make an aggressive fight on all

A MAGNIFICENT RECORD.
Manager of the Collegians Tells About
Their Trips.

The Sumter Collegians arrived
home on Saturday night after a week
on the road with a record of four
games won, one tied. and one
given away. and II you think
the baby wont wake up want
you to hear just a little about this
trip.
We left here Monday morning on
the Northwestern Vestibule. took
dinner in Camden few minutes, and
left that afternoon for Lancaster,
where we arrived in time to rest u
few minutes, and then got dressed
and went out to the grounds. and you
should have seen 1t, full Of rocks and
the outfield in a valley; we had to
take Noble Dick out of center field
and put him in right, and put a taller
man in center so that the catcher
could see the top of his head. Well
we played eleven innings 3 to and
the next day we measured the dis
tance from the pitchers box to home
plate and found 1t three feet too near,
so we moved it back and beat them
IL to 1.
Wednesday morning we left for
Kershaw on the train, and left there
at nine-thirty in the morning in a
two-horse wagon for Jefferson (no
relation to Thomas), twenty miles
through sand and rocks up and down
mountains (and they wern't bluff's) :,
we got there at two-thirty, ate some
leavings from a picnic and then put
on our unifroms and went out on the
diamond to play a double header
against a professional team from
Charlotte and Monore, which cost
Jefferson $4,000 to get. Well we
beat them 3 to 1 the first game of
innings and played about in
nings Of the second when we were
so near dead. we just walked off the
field and gave them the game, and the
next day, Thursday, we beat them 20

driving ten hours without sleeping a
bit, We were a sorry sight, looked
like-and felt worse. but we got some
sleep and went out and beat them
again Q to s, and it was in this game
that the longest hit of the week was
made. One of their men hit a home
run to the catcher and brought in

Some Random Thoughts.

Some of the members of the
Farmers Union would like to know
ton Warehouse Company to build the
cotton platform approachable on two
sides with two sets Of scales to handle
the cotton in the rush of the season. 1t
has been four years and six months
since the bill drawn by representatives
OF the Warehouse company became
law 1t was to be presumed that the
feasure was satisfactory to the Ware
house company, but no, the Warehouse
company would not do anything until
1T failed to make the County build the
platform, and then would not pro-
ceed until the weighers had consent
sented to give the Warehouse company
five cents per bale instead of the orr
ginal one cent per bale, showing that
the writer was eminently correct
when he fought the idea for the coun-
ty to build a platform to be used at
one cent per bale. But strange to
say. the platform built by the Ware
house company did not comply with
the law, which then required it to
be accessible on three CD sides to
wagons, with each weigher (three
then) with his scales and clerk
weighing the cotton three times as
rapidly as before. The warehouse
gave ample facilities for the railroads
TO load the cotton, a side track each
for the Coast Line and the Southern.
but the farmers teams continued to
unload on one side in a space about
fifty or sixtey feet wide with only
room for one set Of scales; and teams
and drivers were kept in line for
hours and hours in the broiling sun
Just as bad as it ever was.
Now some two years ago the act
was changed to have only two weigh
ers, and a two sided platform, to
save expense to the Warehouse COM
the weighers, and still there is only
one place to unload and only one
weigher can work at a time. We
farmers are very patient, but patience
has ceased to be virtue. There does
not seem to be any use to call on the
Chamber of Commerce, for the coun-
ty members of the same are only use
ful for their five dollar membership
fee, and the city members do not
realize what a hardship it is to wait
III the hot sun of a September day for
hVe hours to have bale of cotton
weighed. word to the wise ought
to be sufficient, but unless the law is
complied with and the proper facili-
ties provided by the beneficiary, the
Farmers Union will have to take a
hand.
