THOs. r. KEITH LOSES BY FIRE.
Barn Destroyed With Five Mules,
One Horse and Other Property.

one Horse and Other Property.
News reached Walhalla Monday of
disastrous fire which occurred at
the farm Of Thos. r. Keith. who lives
at the Keith old home place on Keo-
wee river, some seven miles east of
Seneca. The origin Of the fire is un-
known. 1T was first discovered about
IL O'Clock Sunday night, but it was
then so far advanced that it was i'm
possible to save much of the prOp-
erty contained in the building. There
were nine mules and one horse in
the stalls, four Of the mules being
gotten out, leaving the loss in live
stock five mules and one horse. About
$500 worth of farm machinery and
implements were total loss, and
feed stuffs, hay, fodder, ETC., to an
amount about double the value Of the
implements was destroyed, as was
also the entire barn building.
Mr.. Keith's loss is, it Is estimated,
about $4,000, which is partially COW
cred by insurance, he having policy
in the Oconee Farmers Mutual In
surance Association to the amount
of $1,000.
Mr.. Keith is one Of Oconee's most
energetic and enterprising farmers
and was probably better equipped
for advanced methods of farming
than any other farmer in the county.
He has host Of friends throughout
Oconee and adjoining counties who
will learn Of his heavy losses with
deep regret

son, and he would be expected to
bring votes to the McLaurin ticket in
the Piedmont. Attorney General
Peoples comes from Barnwell, and
his friends would be counted on to
swing that section.
1T Is believed here that, failing to
force open endorsement Of his candi-
dacy for Governor from Governor
Blease, Senator McLaurin and his
followers will be contented with get
ting all the support they can from
the Blease following by a display of
friendlin"ss to the administration.
The Mel lurin movement is expected
to play he "peace and harmony
tune throughout, but meanwhile fit
with Bleaseism and anti-Bleaseism
as the revival progresses-at least
that is the gossip.
The significant article appearing in
strong Blease weekly paper last
week throwing doubts on the candi-
dacy Of Governor Blease for the Uni
ted States Senate and the eulogistic
endorsement Of several of Governor
Blease's actions in later issue are
taken to mean that the McLaurin fol-
lowers were afraid to "buck" the
Governor. 1t was thought here early
in the week that the McLaurin back
ers were attempting to force the
Governors hand, and an open dec
laration from him for McLaurin as
his successor, but it is now believed
that the little excursion frightened
them off. from this move, and they
now contemplate "whooping- 'em-up"
for Governor Blease for the United
States Senate.
The peace and harmony" slogan
as an argument for Senator McLau-
rims election to the Governorship is
being derided by several OF his oppo-
nents. At the recent political gath
ering at Filbert, In York county,
Representative Geo. r. Rembert, Of
Richland county, stanch Bleaseite,
and an avowed candidate to succeed
him as Governor, laughed at peace
and harmony" talk and boasted that
he was Droud OF being known as n
partisan.
The rumor that l.. M. Green is to
open a McLaurin publicity bureau
here on the first Of September will
not down. The arrival Of Col Green
with his bureau Is being anXiously
awaited.

Announcement Of the candidacy Of
James H. Craig, Of Anderson, for

Comptroller General against A. w.

cal circles that bachers - State Sen
ator John l.. McLaurn who is ex-
pected to make the race for Cover

ticket in the field next summer.
The rumor has It that Senator Nc
Laurin will run for Governor, and
that his hackers are hoping to have
Senator J. Arthur Banks, of Calhoun
county, the president of the State
Fair, make the race for Lieutenant
Governor. They contemplate, it is
rumored, endorsing Mr.. Craig, Of An
derson, for Comptroller General. 1t
is said that they plan to place F. II.
Hyatt, of Columbia, in the field for
State Treasurer against S. r. Carter.
For Attorney General they are eX-
pected to endorse Attorney General
Thos. II. Peoples for reelection, the
rumor assigning as a reason that the

ers, and hence they will endorse Mr..

Beneau Harris was next introduce
ed, and announced himself in the po-
sition Of the young man who asked
his girl to marry him, and when she
accepted him he was silent for some
fifteen minutes. She asked: "Why
don't you say somethins?" To which
he replied: Il think enough has al
ready been said" Mr.. Harris said:
"Chin music is cheap; farmers have
been chinning long enough; iC is
now time for them to do something"
He then announced his text as being
(frst) Organization, (second) Coop
Grafton, and tthird) Dtversification
Of Crops.
The farmers must organize before
they can cooperate, and they must
cooperate before they can effectively
demand the attention and respect OF
the outside world. The farmers
| themselves, Mr.. Harris said, are re-
sponsible for their condition, be-
| cause they fail to show nerve and
| backbone in trading, though iii war
they make the very best Of fighters.
That organization would prove eff
fectiVe as a remedy Mr.. Harris has
no doubt, and he cited the different
organizations Of workmen to prove
the same. He took specific notice Of
! the order Of engineers, showing that
| they were now in position to simply
| send representatives to their en-
Dloyers and ask for what they want
and get it with no further trouble.
But the main thing Is that these en-
gineers stand by their union, and If
an organization among the farmers
Is to prove effective, they, too, must
work for and stand by their union.
Again, organization and co-opera-
tion cannot prove effective so long
as our cotton is raised with supplies
brought from all over the country,
and paid for with cotton money. The
farmers must diversity their crops
and raise what they need for food at
home, and then they will be inde-
pendent.
Mr.. Harris says that more than SO
per cent Of the cotton raised Is put on
the market as fast as gathered by
the negroes and renters VINO are not
able to hold against the claims OF
their creditors. Some means should
be found by which this can be reme-
died. He closed his remarks by urg-
ing the farmers to join the union.
work for and In the union, and make
the union their medium of communi-
cation with the business world.
Rev. l. E. Wallace, OF Seneca, and
Richland, was introduced to put the
clincher upon what had been said.
He called for those who wanted tc
join the union to hold up their hands.
and received quite few converts.

THE FARMERS nAHM,.Y TiJNrJ
About 200 Present i'm Spite of Threat
ening NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dabbs.

The people who attended the far
ltSmer,s rally at Oak way ON last Friday
began to arrive at an early hour, but
because of the inclement weather not
more thai six or seven hundred were
present. While Mr.. Harris was speak
ing, rain began to fall, but he con-
tinued, saying that he believed It all
bluff, but supposed many OF the
people would take to shelter because
farmer will run from a bluff quick
er than anything.
At II o'clock Mr.. Dabbs, State
president Of the Farmers Union, was
introduced by Mr.. McMahan. He de-
voted his remarks TO the matter Of
finances with regard 70 the cotton
, crop, and to an appeal to the farm
ers to organize and act as a unit in
marketing their crops.
With regard to Secretary McAdoo's s
plan Of putting $25, 100000 in Sou
! thern banks for the purpose Of NOV
ing the cotton crop, he said that 1t
would be no direct benefit to the far
mers because of the fact that they
! their cotton with. 1t will be lent to
the buyer and not 10 the farmer A
slight advantage will be felt from
this, but no direct advantage will
accrue to the farmers. Again, the
central banks claim that the red tape
! connected with securing and hand
! ling this money will render it neces-
sary for them to charge the branch
banks per cent. This would of
| course be prohibitive in itself. The
! banks east OF Columbia are going to
call meeting, so he was informed
TO consider some r.dn, and present
| IT TO the Secretary, by which this
money can be used to better advant-
age.
| Mr.. Dabbs scored the banks for
! lending the farmers only from SO to
| GO per cent Of the value Of their cot
| ton, while they would lend a buyer
| 100 per cent. This can only be rem
edied by strong union to look into
| and protect against such practice.
The farmers, in his opinion, fail to
show backbone in dealing with the
world, and as a consequence they arc
imposed upon by the financial world.
In closing his speech Mr.. Dabbs
| commended our good roads, our ex-
cellent Farming, and impressed upon
those present that all material pros
perity was only means to an end,
and that end, he said, is the cultiva-
tion of the children for a stronger
and better citizenship. He closed by
saying that the farmers must DO
something, and illustrated this prop
osition by the following anecdote:
An old darkey was asked by his
landlord If he believed In the eff
cacy OF prayer.
wat dat you say, boss?"
do you believe you will get what
