go with the organizer, and unless the
appointment conflicts with others. the
State president will take pleasure in
joining the organizing party, and tell
his auditors of conditions as he secs
them in his travels around the STATE.
Inere IS a growing interest in the
subject that has been given more
thought by the Sumter county union
than any other the development of
nome markets. We are not "protec-
tionists" in the sense Of wanting a
tariif wall around our county, but we
are ''protectionists" in the sense of
wanting to supply the needs of the
citizens Of Sumter, Mayesville and
New Sumter, where are congregated
the greatest number of consumers in
the county.
The paragraph from Editor Osteen
on the warehouse bill is a good pre-
sentation Of the awakening Of the
people to more modern methods of
doing business. He we'll says there
may be temporary back sets, due to
opposition Of interests now fattening
on both producer and conumer. or to
mistakes in the management, but
eventually it will succeed, and it will
succeed ever beyond the dreams of its
most ardent supporters
twenty-five years ago the State AL
lance established the Alliance Ex-
changes. One of it's directors was a
Sumter man, Hon. w. o. Cain, sec
retary of the board. 1t broke the bag
ging trust by the aggressive action Of
its board, and did much to improve
trade conditions in the State In Sum-
ter county the Alliance was ignored
by every merchant in town, they re-
fused to even meet "A committee from
the Alliance, except Mr.. Nein O'Don-
ments made by him and the Alliance
that laid the foundation Of the pres
ent big business Of his firm.
Recently in conversation with q
gentleman OF Statewide acquaintance
he stated that In those days the stress
was laid on savings on purchases,
and he was very much gratified when
he learned that the Sumter county
union has been seeking to stress the
selling side Of our business. Others
who have thought that farmers only
organized to save on purchases when
they heard the need Of better markets
discussed and how to secure them,
have taken an entirely new view of
the union, and say we are at last on
the line OF endeavor that will mean
more to our farmers than anything
We have ever undertaken.
1t is this position which mode the
writer President Of the State union,
and he wants Sumter county union to
50 develop the homo market that it
will continue to lead the State and
present a concrete example Of what
can be done. In all the discussions
of the high cost of living (and one
can not pick up a standard magazine
without finding one or more articles
on the subject), all the arguments
point irresistibly to the elimination of
waste in distribution, and show how
it will benefit both producer and con-
sumner. We must back the union,
and make the Union Brokerage Com
pany a real sales agent for the pro-
duce Of Sumter county.

1t is evident that there will be no

the fitness Of every candidate will be
fully tested before a choice is decided

There is a general feeling that the

Many of the white members of the

BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING.
Memphis, Tenn.-Strength of char
acter, intelligence and the power to

the great requisites of men who man
age the affairs of racial fraternal and
commercial movements. When an or

ship its undivided support.
1t is only by such union and hearty
cooperation that the race can ulti
mately triumph over obstacles which
arise to impede its forward movement

of from what source they may come.
Harry H. Pace of this city is con

All of these things created an urgent
need 70, a leader like Mr.. Pace. who
has become the seer of the fraternity
and has given 1t a new lease on benefi
cent existence The activities Of Mr.
Pace as grand exalted ruler are to bt
considered as helpful leaven in tht
life of thousands of Afro-Americans
The character of leader is very
often a sure index of the desires oi
those whom he leads. Mr.. Pace Is {

Another hard place was that Of de-

The above IL an extract from the Buff

very carefully and give IL serious con.

People who have foot troubles ara not
necessarily FLAT-FooTED. nor are
they always conscious Of pains In the
feet. A great many times the condition
Of the feet is responsible for nervous
prostration, headaches, irritability.
sleeplessness, pains or aches In the back
and limbs. very often causing stin knees.
In a great many cases what had here
tofore been treated as muscular rheuma-
tiem has been entirely cured by our foot
treatment alone: without drop OF
medicine or with the aid Of electricity.
OF course. 1t is our aim to get patients
well and out Of pain as quickly as pos
sible, and II 1t Is necessary to sive cleo
tricity in any form. Of course. We use 1t.
and have trained operators for that pur-
pose.

Ing to the percentage given by the Buff

our services. and that there are 10000
people In the city Of Washington. It
would mean that $4,000 people. In.
stead Of 5000. needed our treatment for

age Of foot troubles among the civilised
peoples Is S per cent. according to sta
tistics few years ago, and foot troubles
have been steadily increasing since
then.

clared Is visionary. H4rdie IL an ardent
Socialist. He says Of the British So
