In addition to the horse racing, or

other features of the Kla-How-Y
program. Practically all unions have
signified their intentions of participate
ing in the big industrial parade on
the evneing of July 2. The timber
workers will hold a single packing
contest on the morning of July 3. The
Kla-How-Yah committee of the Com
mercial club is giving the prizes,
which follow: First, $35; second, $25;
third, SIS. The local union has APP
pointed a committee to work in con-
junction with the Kla-How-Yah COM
mittee and the union committee has
been given full charge. An entrance
fee of 50 will be charged. All packers
in the state are invited to participate.
The Electrical Workers Union will
also stage a pole-raising and climbing
contest This contest will be some
thing new to this city, two crews of
eight men each to work in competi-
ton. Poles will be raised and cross
arms attached, the crew finishing first
to be declared winner.
The Ladies' of the Label League
have been untiring in their efforts to
assist the Trades Council committee
on racing, they having taken complete
charge of the racing program, Their
work in this connection has been more
than successful, and to them will be-
long the credit of realizing a neat sum
from the programs.
And don't forget that the proceeds
from the races will go into the fund
for the erection of the New Labor
Temple. So get out and boost and
make it a point to attend the races
daily.

HORSE RACES AND

If you miss the horse racing at Rob
bins park you will miss the big event
of Kla-How-Yah week.
The committees from the Trades
Council and Building Association hay
ing this feature of the celebration in
hand, have practically completed all
arrangements except a few minor de-

fore the beginning of the races.

to the younger race fans, and the COM
mittee has arranged for these races to
take place on the afternoon of the
Fairgrounds parade. On that day all
children of the grade schools of the
city will be admitted to the grounds
free of charge.
A section of the grandstand has
been suitably arranged for the accom-
mediation of the Queen of the Klas-
How-Yah and her court, who will be
the guests of the management during
each afternoon Of the races.
There will be plenty of good music
at all times, Wagner's band having
been engaged for the entire week.

WHAT ARR IoU GOING TO Do
ABOUT IT?

Dear Sir: l am enclosing you
ccnmen on the failure of the Demo-
Gratis to keep faith with the people
on their platform pledges in last
weeks Jeffersonian. You asked
What are you going to do about it.
Of course | an answering only for
one man, | am going to do what I
think all Georgians who act true to
their nativity, true to God, and
right in this our present dilemma, in
this hour of tribulation and ruin.
Oh the shame that would overwhelm
me, if | had been SO unfaithful to
friend or foe, as our present Demo-
cratic administration has been to
their constituents. You ask what
are you going TO do about it? l am
going to follow the example set by
Woodrow Wilson, Hoke Smith and
Co. I am going to flee the contract
entered into in the Baltimore Con-
vention. Yea, the contract of the
State primary. Yes, sir, / claim for
myself the same right that they so
complacently enjoy. The right of
contract breaking, is mine as well as
theirs. There is no law that binds
only one party in a contract So,
when they SO brazenly break faith
with me, l am also free, and from
henceforth I shall be7"a free lance"
shall tote my own political skillet,
and vote for whom so ever I please
to vote, regardless of Judge Reagan's
great ultimatum. If all signs for
rain don't fail, Judge Reagan and his

SOLUTION OF THE COTTON
QUESTION BY AN OLD HAY
SEED FARMER,

Dear Sir: we have had rGSOlu-
tons and suggestions by most every
body from a 2x4 editor, up to the
big banker. The farmer is in bad
fix we know, because everybody says
so except the farmer. The farmers
are all having plenty to eat, so far as
/ see. Eat on and hold your cotton,
do not give your warehouse receipts
TO anybody. Tell your creditors
here is your cotton, give me ten cents
and pay yourselves; but hold unless
they do this. We have been adj
dressed and resoluting to plant ten
or fifteen acres to the plow, and some
say none, and some of our wise
ones are advising legislating against
us planting only stipulated
amount. Why not pass a law that
We shall not plant any more in five
years, or that we shall not kill over
two hogs to the family? they have
just as much right to do that. What
bOsh for smart men to talk about.
All kinds of trash being published.
/ reckon | have as much right to
suggest a remedy as anybody, and
here is my plan. If the people really
desire to curtail the cotton crop for
1915, (Which l do not think neces-
sary, as there is just as many peo-
pie to clothe, and only last year
some of our wise men said the world
could consume 20 million bales.)
simply use no gUano and the ques-
ton is solved, that would at least
cut the cotton crop in half, but as
long as we use the guano you may
cut acreage and we will still make
just as much cotton. Cut out the
guano and you have got it. Cut the
acreage to ten acres to the pillow and
with the guano we will make ten
bales to the plow. Only one remedy
to reduce the crop, cut out guano. [
had hoped our national government
would come to our relief and loan
us 5 hundred million dollars; not
give it to us, but lend it to us, on
the best security in the world, di
rect to the farmer for time until
the panic blows over, as it has to
other things asking for it from dig
ging a ditch to building a railroad.
We do not want State bank issues or
national bank issue, but govern
ment money backed by all the prop
erty of these United States, such
money as Lincoln fought the Civil
War on. But it has turned the back
of it's hand on us and we are left
alone, we can look to that source
no longer. Secretary McAdoo and
Secretary Houston say the govern
ment has done all it can. Nothing.
Now we are left to work out our own
salvation. The farmer is able TO do
it. Let him alone, he has passed
through the Civil War, through the
panics of rs, SO, "a and 1907, and
still lives. Let him alone and he
will adjust himself to the circum-
stances. AS the government has
failed to help by loan to the peo-
pie who feed the world we will help
ourselves. Let us alone

Dear Sirs: Replying to your one
cent letter and blank card mailed at
Reidsville, Ca, Oct. 18th, 1914, beg
to say that | do my own blowing and
thinking, and that l have but little
faith in countryside and city resolu-
tions and advice to farmers. Such
counsel usually emanates from some
bureaucratic or timocratic boss or
his dupes. In this case the counsel
Iorship seems to have lodgment in
three different heads, or tails. A
rather peculiar triumvirate indeed!
One a real estate, horse, mule and
cotton speculator with an occasional
bird hunt thrown in for good meas
ure. Another seems to be of less
magnitude, and might very fiittingly
be styled L. M. Brittain's tail end

sort of daily sordid agricultural
nosology not very good for us poor

To say the least of such silly reso-
buttons and foolish advices they re-
mind us of IL IL cent cotton be-
fore the primary and or cents

I am therefore returning your cir
cular resolutions and card, and sug-
gest that you renal it to some poor
deluded fool who can eat Hoke
Smith and Wilson pills without spew-
ing up his last meal and gagging
over all be expects to eat for the
next six years to come.
AS a matter of fact, the European
war has less to do with Our cotton
prices than we have been hearing
from the demagogues who represent
the cotton oligarchy of the South,
and not the people. We need two
parties in the South and forty mil
lion bales Of cotton to clothe the
naked world.

The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1914-08-27

A meeting is called at the
court house Tuesday Sept. 1. by
order Of E. Y. Dabbs, president
| of the State Farmers Union.
A large attendance is looked for
| at this meeting. There will be
several speakers of prominence.
The object is to discuss holding
of cotton and reorganization Of
the Farmers unicn in this
county.
The Pickens county farmers
union will likely be reorganized
soon. This county at one
time had a union, bat the inter-
est in it seemed to wane and it
died. The situation which faces
the Southern farmer, caused by
the war in Europe. has caused
the president of the state union
to urge the farmers in every
county of the state to organize
and assist in devising some
means of keeping up the price
|of cotton. The situation at
present is not so alarming as
some would haye us believe,
nevertheless "a stitch in time
saves nine The national
government is working on a
plan to secure for the farmers a
fair price for their cotton, but
the farmers should not, leave
this matter entirely in the hands
|of the lawmakers, many OF
whom do not know the actual
conditions under W hich h the
farmers labor, but they should
take a hand in the matter
themselves. The Sentinel is in
favor of a farmers union con-
ducted along the right lines.
