FOR POLITICAL UNION
OF FARMERS

1t is the purpose of the All-Ameri-
can Farmer-Labor Cooperative Con-
gress that has been in session in Chi
cago to get together the conserva-
tives and liberals, tho reactionaries
and radicals, in farmers organiza-
tions, with an aggregate membership
of 100000 for a political drive in
the agricultural states next Novem-
ber
The plan is to get both the con-
servative and liberal elements to ge-
ther in the meeting at Des Mones.
1t is intended. if consolidation can
be made between these groups, to
push the program of the farmers and
laborers by means of the existing
political parties without forming a
third party. 1t would follow lines
similar to those urged upon organiz-
ed labor by Samuel Gompers and also
similar to the house followed by the
Anti-Saloob League in pushing the
Dry America" amendment. Congress
in particular Is aimed at the idea of
consolidation promoters being to line
up all candidates for the Senate and
House, work for those supporting the
program and fight those opposing it.
George Hampton, Managing Direc-
tor of the Farmers National Coun.
cil,) denied that there was any posi-
bility of farmers strike. "The far
mers will never go on a strike" Mr..
Hampton declared. The chief aim of
the convention, he said, is the perfec-
ton of plans for uniform action by
all cooperative societies in the Uni
ted States and for information of q
practical method Of co-operative
banking and credits.
Although politics was banned n,
the convention, +. A. Tyler of the
Equity Cooperative Life Insurance
Company Of st. Paul, took occasion
during his address to point our the
tremendous possibilities for po.itica
power In the organization. "Not
Democratic, nor Republican, nor non
partisan" Mr.. Tyler said, "but an un
known quantity-an economic part,
without a platform but with an or
ganization that can step in at tn,
eleventh hour and cannot be defeat
ID by any class of politicians"

Speaking From Experience, Anderson
Woman Says She IL Glad To

Twenty-Five years is long time
for anyone to contend with a physi-
cal ailment, but Mrs. A. C. Allison,
of 32 Market St., Anderson, says that
during that many years she suffered
with number of troubles before she
began taking Tanlac, which she said
soon gave her relief. Now, in her en-
dorsement of Tanlac, Mrs. Allison
says "it is a fine medicine"
Discussing her troubles, her efforts
to find relief and the results Tanlac
gave her, Mrs. Allison says:
III suffered indigestion, sleepless-
ness and nervous troubles. l had no

BEAUFORT COUNTY
SAYS, "NO COTrOE"

Clemson College, Feb. 10 Beau
fort County farmers have taken a
definite stand against cotton end in
FAVOR Of diversification. At safe far
ming conference which was he'd in
Beaufort recently, a program sug-
gestlng maximum Of five bales of
cotton per plow was turned down en-
phatlcally by a committee if repre-
sentative farmers and business men,
who realize that Beaufort County
farmers need not fear the boil weevil.
and that they can succeed without cot
ton. In 1919 Beaufort County pro-
duccd only about 300 bales of cotton
as opposed to about 5000 in 1918.
and this big decrease in one wear to
one-third of former production was
due chiefly to the ravages of the wee
vii.
The recommendation of the COM
mittee adopted by the conference
contains the following points
D. Cotton cannot compete ex
cept on small scale with other crops
that are grown here or may be grown
mere. These crops are truck, pea
nuts, corn and velvet beans.
(2). Sufficient acreage of sweet
potatoes should be planted to war

MR.. EEFLIN'S
ELOQUENT APPEAL

In recent speech in Congress fav-
oring the League Of Nations, Hon. J.
Thomas Hefln, Of Alabama, ably and
eloquently urged the necessity of
preventing future wars by the estab-
lishmcnt Of an international tribunal
whose duty it should be to prevent
the outlaw nation from arming and
equlpping itself so that it would be-
come menace and a danger to the
peace Of the world.
In this connection Mr. Hcflin used
this favorable illustrations:
zone night many years ago down
in the Mississippi Valley, when in the
immediate vicinity there was no sign
of rain, flood came down from the
streams above and the Father Of Wat
ers swept over the valley beyond.
When the people on the hills round
about awoke in the morning they saw
that the houses Of the people in the
valley were covered with water, and
they knew that the people in those
houses were drowned while they
slept. When the food reccded they
buried the dead, and then some of the
people said, We ought not to permit
any one else to live in the valley
Then an old patriarch said" God ere
ated this rich valley to be used and
enjoyed by the people, and there
ought t" be way to control the
food and then a civil engineer came
forward and said, There is a way to
control the food. can build leves

TRIBUTE TO
WILLARD RAGSDALE

At recent Sunday Session of
Congress in memory of deceased
members a number of Congressman
expressed profound sadness and re-
gret at the death of the late Con-
gressman, Hon. J. Willard Ragsdale.
Those who spoke were Congressman
Dominick, Whaley, Nicholas, Mann,
and Stevenson of South Carolina, and
Champ Clarke and Leonidas Dyer, of
Missouri. Ex-Spcaker Clarke closed
his tribute to Mr.. RagSdalc in these
words:
'At the time of his death he was
one of the rising men in the House,
apparently destined for long and
high career.
II was appointed by the Speaker to
attend his burial at Florence, S. {. 1t

young, high and humble, white and

seemed to be universally beloved"
From the remarks of his friend
and colleague Hon. w. +. Stevenson,
our own Congressman, we make these
extracts, rcgretting that lack of space
prevents publication Of the speech en-
tire.
The distinguishing characteristic of
Willard Ragsdac was that he could

man than in the hot contests in the
courthouse where great stakes are be-
ing fought for? He was not plod-
ding lawyer. His whole temperament
was action. He could not rely upon
the technicalities of construction.
Trained at bar that was over
shadowcd until his advent by some
of the most eminent lawyers in South
Carolina-yea in the south he
soon came to measure UP with them
when it came to the contests in court.
His taking away was one Of the
wrenchcS Of my public life. could
hardly conceive that he was gone, and
that leads me to close by saying that
we are here to-day paying last tri-
butte to two of our comrades who
went west without warning, who went
in the twinIling Of an eye, who it seems
to me just simply stepped through the
us and an unknown eternity, leaving
US remembering their virtues, their
powers, their lovablc qualities, and
yet separated from them by this in
visible barrier, wholly without know
ing when it may come our time to
step through the same barrier and be
separated from our fellows and re-
united with them.

Those who sell futures against
grain they own insure pront against
a later decline. and those who buy
futures against sales of cash grain
will insure realization of a higher
price later, unless grain values de-
cline. in which event nothing Is lost
since stop-loss orders are always
placed at a safe margain by this class
OF buyer. Very few mills and other
large users of grain could successfully
operate weer not this form of.trading
possible. The real trouble today with
many farmers Is that they have not
learned to avail themselves OF the
wonderfully adaptable machinery OF
the grain exchanges.
\ Thousands of independent graz \
buyers with their own elevators, and
farmers cooperative elevator CON-
panies make money by carrying stocks
Of unhedged grain waiting for top
