URGED TO ORGANIZE.
E. w. Conner Issues Call to Rural Free
Delivery Men.

To the R. F. D. Letter Carriers of
South Carolina.
Dear Brethren: Since my last call
to you 1 have received many very en-
couraging letters concerning our as
sociation work throughout the State.
and 1 am writing you once more to
ask each carrier in the State to make
a special effort between now and May
80 to get every carrier in your county
that is not a member of the county as
sociation to join on that day. All the
organized counties in the State will
hold their annual meeting on that date
to elect officers for next year and
also to elect delegates to the State as
sociation, and l ask that each county
elect a strong delegation to the State
association, and l hope that all the
unorganized counties in the State will
call the boys together and organize
and elect a president, vice president,
secretary and treasurer. The dues are
as follows: State dues, so cents; ma
tional dues, so cents. ollect the
above amount from each member and
send 81 for each member to Paul K.
Crosby, Ruffin, S. c., and he will send
you receipt for same. After You
have collected dues from all, then
your delegates according to this rule:
One delegate at large and one for
every ten members or major fraction.
I feel sure that we will have the best
and most enthusiastic convention at
Chester July 3-5 that our State has
ever held if the boys will only get
busy. Just a word to the unorganized
counties: The county, State and ma
tional associations need your assist
ance in carrying on the great work
of bettering our condition. The pres
ent congress, through our organized
efforts, has passed bill that will be
of great benefit to us all, and if all the
carriers in this State and throughout
the United States would come into the
association and help we could have
anything in reason that we would ask
for. trust that you will See the
point and come into the association at
once and help the few in the work we
are striving to accomplish.
Fraternally yours,
E. w Conner,

WOMEN OF DEMOCRACY GIVE
"DOLLY MADISON" BREAKFAST

Washington, May 20.-A large COM
pany of Democratic women gathered
here today at a breakfast to recall
from the haze of a hundred years ago
a gentle presence which once domi-
mated Washington society.
The women constituting this femi-
nire democracy we're mostly the
wives and daughters Of Democrats, al
though any woman allied with dis
ciple of Jefferson was eligible to
attend. The woman thus honored on
the 14Oth anniversary of her birth was
Dolly Madison, wife of president of
the United States and social arbiter
during four administrations, for Mrs.
Madison was virtually mistress of the
White House during the regime of
Jefferson, whose term of office pre-
ceded her husbands.
Mrs Madison's personality, indeli-
bly, imprinted on the life of her day
and generation, was recounted by
several modern women of democracy.
Mrs. VIM J. Bryan, speaking of Mrs.
Madisons character, first paid her
respects to Mrs Madison by recog-
nizing "a large debt to the bright mind
which first thought of promoting good
feeling among Democratic women by
having them meet each other"
Making allowances for Mrs. Madl-
sons lack of early education and the
advantages of travel, Mrs Bryan said
the famous mistress Of the White
House would be remembered "for
what she was, fully as much as for
what she did" Continuing Mrs. Bry-
an said of the famous Dolly:
LAS Quakeress she was sober and
denure: in official life she was tact
full, gracious, dignifed or gay as the
occasion demanded; in later life faith
full: in old age, serious

ahead of the Farmers Bank under
their management.
Mr.. E. NJ. Cook is president of the
institution. He is a successful far
mer, residing about two miles from
Prosperity, and is we'll known to the
people of the county. A man of busi-
ness foresight, and intimately ac-
uuainted with business conditions in
the /section where the bank has its
clientele, he is finely fitted for the
position of the banks executive head.
The vice president of the bank is
Mr.. w. B. Boinest, a farmer and a
man of affairs living in No. 10 town
ship, and a most capable man for the
position.
The cashier, the Importance Of
whose position in a banking institu-
ton can not be overestimated, is Mr..
H. T. Patterson, who has proven his
value to the bank. Mr.. Patterson
was born and reared in Roxburgh-
shire, Scotland. He came to this
country in 1898, going to northern Hi"
nois, where he worked on a farm for
four years. From there he went to
Chicago and worked a year in the
repair shops Of the street car COM
pany. Following this employment he
attended a school of shorthand and
typewriting for a few months, and
then went in the employment of the
Cable Piano company, for which big
concern he worked ten years, severing
his connection with them only be-
cause he felt that Office work was be-
ginning to tell on his health. He was
with this company one year in Au-
gusta, two and one-half years in At
lanta, and the balance Of the time in
Chicago. He was in Atlanta when he
left their service Mr.. Patterson then
moved to Troy, in Greenwood county,
on a farm he owned He worked his
farm four years, and then sold out and
came to Prosperity upon the invita-
ton of a committee of the board Of
directors of the Farmers bank.
Of sturdy Scotch descent, and Of
long and varied business experience,
he has brought to the bank an ability
and an energy which are telling in the
institutions growth.
The other members of the board OF
directors are ]. c. Neel, successful
farmer and business man living near
Newberry; G. W. Kinard, of Pros
perity, whose business relations have
recommended him for the position;
the Rev. l. S. Caldwell, of the A. R. P.
church at Prosperity; W. P. Counts
and w. E Wallace, both farmers, the
former of No. 10 township, and the
latter living near Newberry, and both
of whom hold the esteem of their busi-
ness associates, and S. ]. Kohn, Of
Prosperity, man of large and sue
cessful farming and mercantile opera
tons.
The finance committee of the bank
is composed of the president, cashier
and Mr.. Kohn, of the board of direc-
tors. This committee looks closely
after the operations of the bank.
The attorney for the bank is Mr..
Eugene S. Blease, one of the leading
lawyers of the Newberry bar.
The bank has a capital of $4,000.
Not only the friends of those in
charge of the institution, but the busi-
ness interests of the county, are graft
fed in the prospects which are ahead
of the institution.
