The Panners Club Met and Resolved,
as Usual Some Sensible View*, on
Various Subjects
The Farmers Union, met according to
adjournment, March 1,1880.
The various committees, upon different
questions being present, it was decided to
make some of them report, what wai be
ing done.
The committee on agriculture reported
that they had performed their duty faith
fully, inasmuch as they had rented all the
kind they could find for cotton, excepting
about ten acres of old sedge field, anil as
the man who owned it did not belong to
odr crowd, and said be didn’t care much
for cotton nohow, he believed he would
lend it to us; so the c >mmittee reported
th<U tiny would try the borrowing plan
awhile, as the best.
The chairman then stated he bad an
idea suggested to him, which he said was
the Chinese plan, and a mighty good one.
It was to build rafts on Point Peter and
Deadwater on Flint river, and put rich
mud on the rafts and plant the Jackson
limbless. Thesort.be said, that bad no
torious long tap roots, which would grow
down to the bottom, and keep the raft
from washing away in high water. Upon
this the whole business adjourned and
went towards the river, but as snakes and
moccasins were terrible on Deadwater.lt
was decided to take along a big jug of
corn whiskey, and go by Mr. Chambers’
saw mill and get plank to build the raft
with, but he was gone. We then pro
ceeded towards the river and directly we
heard a terrible grinding fuss, which Mr.
Chambers was making in getting up a
trust, for he was ahead of us, had built
the rafts, been clear up to New’ Jersey
and got license We thought we would
placate Mr. Chambers a little, and offered
him a nipper from the big Jug, but he said
he did not belong to us, nohow, and did
not believe in corn culture. He didn’t
believe he would take any, and thought
we ought to have had the jug filled with
juice from cotton seed.
We then begun to return, but a big rain
fell the day before and the creek was
powerful high. We had nothing to cross
on but a foot log, and a little one at that—
and rickety. The man who carried the
jug was urged to go a mile up the creek
and cross on the bridge, as the stopper
didn’t fit the jug as tight as it ought to.
He said he would try the log, and ifl’e
couldn’t swim he could do some of the
deepest wading ever known. He hadn’t
more than begun to cross before the log
began to twist about. He said he believed
he would jump off and wade, so in he
went, and true to the sacred trust reposed
in him carried the jug high and dry above
the angry waves to the opposite bank.
Tlie meeting was then opened and the
committee on “State of tbe Country” was
asked to report. The committee reported
condition of country bad, and getting
worse. The farmers had fallen in where
two seas met. The one ruinous taxation
upon part of government, the other grasp
ing greed of atroscious speculators, trusts,
monopolists and syndicates. That every
acre of land, mule, cow, hog, sheep, dog
and rabbit the farmer owned was plainly
in sight ready for taxation; that none of
tbe farmers were able to own U, S. bonds;
that they were not able to escape inherit
ance tax by having bequests take the form
of salary; that they have nothing to pay
income tax with nor about, and were not
represented anywhere in legislature; that
tlie government so-called was nothing but
the rule of a corrupt political party, and
that political party was only the creation
of the money power; that legislators and
congressmen had not enough statesman
ship to devise any measure of relief for
farmers, while they claimed as excuse for
their ignorance that farmers had no right
to protection. The committee thought
Mr. McKinley had struck the keynote to
the situation, whose motto was duty and
destiny; that he meant it was the farmer’s
duty to grow cotton, it was destiny to get
nothing for it. That your Uncle Samuel,
elated at prospective Anglo-Saxon alli
ance, had promised England “open door”
in the East for trade, and bad allowed
English syndicates and speculators to in
troduce and fasten upon this country her
odious financial policy, which has reduced
her own masses to the condition of serfs,
and will speedily bring tlie farmers of this

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is theonly positive cure now
known in tbe medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, ami giving the
patient strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature iu doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative power, that they offer (>ne
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails

CHENEY'S EXPECTORANT.
T. 15. Rice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga , writes as follows:
“1 have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative
for eight years, and have never known of
a single instance where it failed to give
perfect satisfaction. Parties who once
use it always make permanent customers.

country to a IRe condition. The com
mittee though th re was one consolation,
to-wit: That there was so many of our
girls marrying English Dukes and Lords
that we would get to be sorter of a pious,
religious kind of folks after awhile.
The next point in order of business was
the report of committee on commercial
fertilizers,and in older to get town to
business right, a guano man was sent for,
who, after being duly sworn, was asked
which was best: this year, cotton notes
or money note. ? II ■ said that there would
be so much cotton planted this year that
it would fetch nothin’ next fall, and be
would a leetle ruther have cotton notes.
Then he could have it spun up, and
wove up on Sheers—and the balance as
what was left he’d put in quilts. That
the thermometer went away below zero
last winter and he had not slept warm
half a night,since he said that there would
be so much ruano used this year, there
would be no money for larmers to take up
their notes with.
Upon this the committee asked
him if all this guano would not be
used in the factories where it was made.
This made him so mad he quit swearing
and sailed into cursing sure enough.
The next business in order was a report
from Committee on education. The
chairman reported that it was the idea
now to concentrate the schools in the
towns situated ten and twelve miles dis
tant, leaving the children of small farmers
and tenants on half way grounds unable to
walk to school, too poor to board—and
with the only opportunity of being taught
by a teacher that lived in the community,
the small pittance derived from teaching
12 or 15, that not being enough to board a
teacher. This state of affairs he said had
a tendency to drive the best farmers, of
means, from tbe country to the small
towns to educate their children, to see the
railroad, ride the bicycle and live by their
wits, (quite a limited capital) leaving the
farms (the mainstay of the nation) in the
bands of tenants, and irresponsible par
ties.
It is the judgement of this committee
that better methods be employed by those
in power to reach the classes in the rural
districts, for whom the educational fund
was obviously intended. The idea of
stripping the farmers of all advantages
and priviliges and pouring it into the
laps of the lit.le towns and cities, will
end in having a very disastrous effect
upon agricultural interests. Notwith
standing the numerous and benevolent
appropriations made by the United States
government, towards teaching farmers
sons’ scientific and theoretical farming,
the fact remains, plain and palpable,
that the farm is the place for the boy t)
take field notes, because a practical far
mer is the only kind that’s worth a cent.
The idea now-, and for sometime in the
past prevalent, that people that are unfit
for any other calling, not sense enough to
follow a profession, will do well enough
to farm, is a fallacy. It takes a man of
very bright order of intellect, well ed
ucated, to make a successful farmer, and
it is the opinion of this committee that
the appropriations made by the United
States government towards having the
science of agriculture taught, as it is in the
agricultural colleges now and in time past
benefits the tearchers and not the pupils.
