Secretary.
THE FARMERS’ EXCHANGE.
Dear Sir:—I am delighted to see
that you have a column in your paper
for Union farmers to advertise what
they have for sale. I am sure it will
make the paper more intere-sting and
will enlarge its circulation. It will
he the first column for me to read
when I get your paper. Of course,
each member must make his adver
tisement as short as possible.
Farmington, N. C., Aug. 5, 1912.
PEELE’S LOCAL, No. 1701.
Mr. Editor:—Having seen no writ
ing from this Local in quite awhile,
will kindly ask for space that I might
mention some items. In the first
place ,will say our members are grow
ing much wiser in the spirit of true
unionism. We are doing more busi
ness with our State Business Agency
than heretofore. Most of us take The
Carolina Union Farmer and are glad
to note its improvement. We have
now twenty-two paid-up members,
and have given six demits to other
Locals. I think I would be safe in
saying we have some as loyai mem
bers to the Union as any in the State.
The members of this Local had
their first annual picnic at Burden’s
Mill, Wednesday, August 7, 1912,—-
this time being mostly a “fish fry.’’
Eighty-five pounds of the finny tribe
were caught. There was a nice and
delicious dinner served in addition
to the fish fry, consisting of many
good things that the farmer’s wife
knows how to prepare. It was an en
joyable occasion, and both old and
young shared with pleasure the
events of the well spent day. About
three hundred people were present.
Now, Mr. Editor, if this don’t find
its way to the waste-basket, you will
hear from us again.
J. M. BAZEMORE,
Aulander, N. C. Secretary.
all. If we have any weak-kneed
Union men and farmers who are eligi
ble that have never joined the Union,
let them be on hand and get reasons
for class organization. The Union
will meet in private session just af
ter the addresses, so let all Locals
send a full delegation.
Be sure and bring well filled bas
kets, as a large crowd is expected.
PRESS REPORTER.

number of resolutions were enthusi
astically discussed and passed by the

house. Dr. H. Q. Alexander, Presi
dent State Farmers’ Union, and Prof.

men means a feast of good things for
RANDOLPH COUNTY.
On August 10th eleven Local
Unions met at Grave’s Siding with
the Union Grove Local, No. 1324.
The day was fine and a large crowd
of earnest people assembled to learn
more of the Union movement. W. T.
Swanson addressed the audience for
an hour, giving many reasons why
the farmers should consolidate their
efforts along the line of development
in many phases.
A sumptuous dinner was served,
proving that the faithful women of
that community were excellent cooks,
housewives, and matrons of a high
order, and that their noble husbands
were true to the marital vow they
took upon themselves, when they led
their blushing sweethearts to the
hymenlal alatr. A noble set of men.
More than twelve basket fulls were
taken up.
After refreshments the brass band,
which made' the welkin ring at the
opening, sounded the call to duty and
gave a few pieces of music that bestirs
a Southerner.
J. M. Allen, in an easy manner,
opened the afternoon service as he
did in the forenoon.
W. T. Swanson came forward
again, and in his easy, fluent manner
set forth the many advantages of the
warehouse movement, holding the
audience spell-bound for more than
an hour.
Fourteen subscriptions were taken
for the Union Farmer. Let the good
work go on.
MEETING AT GREENSBORO.
There will be a joint meeting of
the Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Farmers’ Union and
the directors of the Carolina Ware
house, Inc., at the court-house at
Greensboro, Friday and Saturday,
August 30th and 31st. The meeting
is called for the purpose of going
over the fertilizer situation and the
business agents of the grain growing
counties have been requested to be
present as well as various fertilizer
dealers. At this meeting it is under
stood that much business will be
transacted in regard to the large
warehouse to be built at Greensboro
and Raleigh, as the work of solicit
ing stock is now well underway and
much progress along this line has
been made. From Greensboro, those
who are to represent the State at the
National Convention, will go to Chat
tanooga, Tenn., to be present at the
opening session on September 3rd.
