The officers of that organization for
1855 and 1856 We're as follows: Grand

Their declaration of principle was as
follows:
To unite the railroad brakemen Of the
Western Hemisphere; to promote their
general welfare and advance their inter-
ests, socially, morally and intellectually;
to protect their families by the exercise
of systematic benevolence and 10 es-
tablish mutual confidence and create
and maintain harmonious relations be-
tween the members and their employers.
You will note that there is a vast
difference existing between the iuten-
ton of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen when first organized and its
attitude of the present day.
At the Dallas convention, or at the
st. Paul convention, l am not sure, the
name of the B. of r. B. was changed
to B. of R. T. 1t was hoped by the lead
ers at that time that they could succeed
in swallowing all of the other railroad
organizations, but they failed dismally.
Regarding what Farquherson had to
say about the strike on the Southern

refute the statements alleged to have

LESSON TO WESTERN DAIRYNIEN.
Tho Clemson Creamery and Prices to
Dairymcn for Butter Fat.
tTOo Late for Last Week.)

LOO Late lOr Last Week.)
Editor Keowee Courier:
Perhaps some Of the shippers of
cream to Clemson have noticed from
the market quotations that Clemson
butter sells in the local market at SO
cents per pound, and that it is quoted
one cent pound above Elgin butter.
That is speaking we'll for home
company and giving information to
our Northern and Western brethren
who have lately decided that the
south can produce dairy products IN
these latter days equal" to the West.
The Columbia State also led its
readers to infer that Clemson butter
was selling wholesale, from the
creamery. at SO cents. while the facts
are it brought only 43 cents last
week and is selling now at 3S cents.
Some Of us were beginning to think
this cooperative creamery could pay
more than 30 to 81 cents per pound
for butter fat at the prices we saw
quoted in the daily papers, but they
will all be pleased to know that their
checks for November will be 35 cents
per pound. We are informed also
that henceforth better rates may be
given because Of the fact Of the pop
ularity Of the Clemson product.
1t seems not yet to be practical to
sell from Clemson to local jobbers,
and therefore the middleman's profit
must also be accounted for.
The creamery is assured now Of a
market for all the butter it can make,
which was not true in its early his
tory. This fact also assures the FAR
mer Of a ready market for all the
cream he can produce.
We are reliably informed that
when the creamery gets well cstab-
lished and enjoys big patronage it
can pay to the dairyman the same
price for butter fat they get for but
ter, but that means they must work
on larger scale.
This creamery work is one Of the
bast things Clemson College has
done for this up-country. 1t means
land improvement and better cattle;
it means also that there will be some
thing to turn to should the cotton in
dustry fail, as is now prophesied; il
means further that what formerly
was almost loss can be turned TO
profit.
! have written this because there
are not few who were beginning to
think there was too wide a difference
between the butter price and butter
fat prices; and also, on the authority
OF the creamery managers, to assure
the shippers Of cream that a nearer
equality in prices may constantly be
approached. w. B. Aull.
