Calls on Farmers to Organize.

Columbia, May 8.-"There was
never a more opportune time for far
mers to organize than now, and wish
this call would be so loud that every
farmer worthy of the name could hear
and would give heed" said E. W.
pabbs, president of the State Farmers
Union, in public call to the farmers
of the State.
In his call Mr.. Dabbs deprecates the
lethargy displayed by the farmers OF
the State and says that they are more
prone to criticize than to organize
and put their shoulders to the wheel
of advancement. He urges all the far
mers of the State to join their local
organizations and to make the State
Union a vital, driving force for the
benefit of the farming interests of the
State. He AYERS that the Indifference
now displayed cannot make for cen
tralized. cooperative strength in the
State union, and looseness of attend
ance at the annual meeting soon to be
held, at which the policy of the ad-
ministration of the union will be shap-
ed for another year, and the lection OF
officers will be had, will have deter
iorating effect on the organization.
Mr.. Dabbs said that the Farmers
Union should be represented at the
National convention by ore than one
delegate. but that such representation
can but be inadequate when the at
tendance at the annual meetir2 of the
State organization is so poor.
In commenting on President Dabb's
call. Col E. J. Watson, commissioner
of agriculture. commerce and indus
tries. this morning said:
"There are now more reasons why
the farmers of South Carolia should
maintain strong local and county
unions than ever before. The reasons
President Dabbs gives are good and
strong ones, but when we look for
ward to what the coming cotton sea-
son holds in the vitality important nat
ter of the price per pound the pro-
ducer will get for it, in the light of in
dicative facts. do not hesitate to say
that it is of supreme Importance that
the cotton growers Of the South ap-
proach the fall months with solidly
organized front. Resort to expedien-
cies, and plans that are uneconomic,
cannot longer save the price of cot
ton to the producer The hour has
struck when organized, intelligent ac-
ton must be taken, and the logical
channel is the Farmers union. have
been aiding Secretary Reid in his
work of organization recently as
much as 1 can, for realize fully the
imperative necessity for the farmers
to be prepared to help themselves.

WHO KILLED DIR. BURDELL?

Quite equal, in startling and bloody
atrocity, to the darkest deeds on the
criminal calendar Of u first cen
fury, was the murder, the night OF
January 80, 1857, Of DR.. Harvey Bur
dell, a noted dentist of New York
city, at his own house on Bond
street, one Of the wealthy and fash
ionable localities at that time Of the
metropolis. He was found dead in
his Office Saturday morning-the day
had come as usual about $3.50 to at
tend to his duties. The body was
shockingly mutilated and surrounded
with clots Of blood, and the door
and walls Of the room were be-
smeared with blood. Many wounds
had been inflicted with a sharp in
strument.
On the announcement that so
frightful and mysterious a murder
had been committed upon the person
OF SO noted a professional citizen,
the agitation Of the community was
lndescrible. Before long the ru-
NOR began circulating that Mrs.
Cunningham. his landlady, asserted
~ had been secretly married to
him, and further hat the house, in
stead Of being respectable and arts
tocratic. was the scene Of chickering's.
hostilities, jeealousis and schemes.
Mrs. Cunningham declared at the
inquest that she was Mrs. Burdell
but various circumstances tended To
show that Burdell was not the mar
who had married her, and the Ger
tlt1cate Of marriage was based on a
fraud. On the other hand, it was
shown that DR.. Burdell had tried to
d~ispossess the widow and her daugh.
ter Of his house, which would have
rendered them destitute and withon1
a home. Finally, a loaded reyoIye,
and a safe key belonging to DR.. Bur.
dell were found in Mrs. Cunning.
hams possession.
On this evidence Mrs. CUNNINGHAM
two OF her boarders were com
mitted to prison as parties con.
cerned in the deed. The widow
from the first carried out her as
sumed ignorance and g~uiltessness q
the murder with an adroitnes
which. judged by the subsequent de
