COUNTY FARMERS TO MEET.
Union Called to Meet at Court Hou.c
Friday, May 3.-Nlr. Williams Of
fcrs Suggestions.

Don't forget that Friday. May 3rd.
will be the next regular meeting Of
the Sumter County Union at the Court
House. There are matters of vital i'm
pOrtance that deserve attention at this
time.
Now is the time when every farmer
in the county is making his final de-
clsion as To the proportion of his
farm he will plant in cotton and what
ne Will plant in other crops. The
price Of cotton is such at the present
time that under ordinary circum-
stances it would pay for the cost Of
production and possibly a small pro-
fit But do you know that the pres
ent prices Of cotton are helping
comparatively very small proportion
Of the farmers in Sumter County? And
do you further know that all those
who would like to buy cheap cotton
next fall are using their influence to
bull the market now In order to in
duce the planting Of big crop? Re-
member that the world was in need of
a big crop last year. Hence the re-
action so quickly after most of the
crop was sold.
The surplus this year will be
larger than it was last year and if
We grow another bumper crop it will
take two or three ordinary crops for
the price to again rise above the cost
Of production.
/ heard farmer lamenting the
fact the other day that as he didn't
get any oats sowed last fall, he would
not have any land on which to SOW
peas. Just as if peas could only be
broadcast on stubble land. 1t seems
to me that the present prices of corn
and hay would be a temptation to
every farmer to plant most Of his
farm to these crops. At any rate
early forage should receive special
attention.
j. Frank Williams, President,
Sumter County Farmers Union.

most Of his speech was confined To ed

The dinner as to quality, and guam

The table was most tastily and most
handsomely decorated, and spread
with everything that the most fastid-

duty and obligation to him; to make a
man or him. How are you going to
do 1t? If you We're below the credit
line, how would you get up there :?
Generally speaking, man who is be-
low the credit line stays there. | call
your attention to this for this reason:
The land and the man, that's all
there is. God made the land more
fertile than We have ever dreamed
OF. 1t is only today that science is
beginning to show us what the land
is worth. 1t is worth untold riches
anywhere in proportion to the char
acter OF the man that is on it, and in
that value lies the solution Of all our
problems. For the first time in hu-
man history. science has begun to
snow what one foot of earth will do;
l came near saying any earth. The
sand hills to the southeast Of us the
day before yesterday were given away
for fraction of dollar an acre for
taxes. l have seen that country Weld
100 bushels Of corn and one one-half
bales of cotton to the acre The man.
that's what We want: the land and
the man.
Il call your attention 10 this system
of economic training for this purpose.
The economic organization of our
society. or. to be more exact. its
ilnancial organization is based on
privilege. class, individuals can
borrow money at the bank though
am poor man. because ! have a GER
tain respectability to trade on. There
are many men my equals in their ca
pa2ity for manual labor who cannot
borrow dollar because they happen
to lack that accidental equality. In
other words. the thing spoken Of on
this platform called democracy we
have not yet applied to our economic
life, and it is that that I wish to cal!
your attention to.
"The thing that We call democrac,,
means chiefly equality of opportunity
In politics in the organization and
conduct Of government Also an op-
portunity for education.
THE pertience Of the remarks is
this: l believe as believe nothing
else. dogmatics or dcductiors nCm
human experience, or any teaching of
any wise men. that the entension Of
opportunity. the spread of democracy.
the Willingness to give the other man
the same chance you have yourself
is the most important truth laid hold
Of by the mind Of man.
when We talk about democracy,
we do it only in political terms. How
pitifuf 1t Is when we hear noisy little
politicians Kicking up a rumpus about
little incident in the method of
voting for office or Of removing men
from Office. 1 take it that all groups
Of you people working for any pur-
pose in our country today have the
Ark Of the Covenant in your keep
ing. 1t is you who sacrifice to save
your fellowman. 1t is to you, there
fore, that It is proper to make an
attempt that you should direct your
thought to the application Of demo-
crac.' and the economic condition Of
our country. Man has been on this
earth unknown millions of years We
have in late years had scientific
knowledge Of how man can help man.
If any pedagogue, if any politics stop
this. then We commit the one great
crime against the organization Of life.
There is no such thing as stop. Life
and civilization, is a moving tide and
