Watching to Nee Which M ay the Cnt Will Jump. ' There are a good many farmers stay- i ing back on the outside of the farmers toovement watching and waiting to see which way the cat will jump before i ' they will make a move. These men have been likening and watching ' every movement of the farmers organ- ] . ization to see where their leaders are going to laud into some fat positiou and ' all that sort of thing, never ouce ! thinking that if some fortunate farmer ( Should land into some good position that the farmer had just as well have . these fait-places* as for all of them to go toothers: Better come into the movement instead of standing out there i 'watching; or some devilish cotton bear f or some other sneak might slip up be- i hind and get you into something a < ;fright worse than a good Farmers' I Union made up of your best neighbors. Come along my good lellow, you catsee the cat jump on the inside better than you can by peeping through the ( crack from the outside. , . ' t i Reuben is Cowing. Look out for Reuben. He will soon be through cultivating his crops and he will becoming to town, but he is J coming to the front all along the line I just the same. Reubeu is in this , ' thing for himself this time and since ( we come to think about it, if there I were no Reubens in the country a digging there would be no towns to go to.

What about this? Have you bad ! time to look over the record to see about that steadying process of the | eotton market? We are of the opinion , that the 17 cents made by the Farmers' 1 . Union has maintained a more regular ; and uniform price through the whole , year than has been recorded in our 1 recollection. j Suppose some of you that have more i time than we have look over the re- 1 cords and let us know about this. | We are looking for the time when i cotton producers shall run a regular 1 market quotation in all the newspapers ] of the country as to the condition of < . crops aud prices of their own products. ' For many years the manipulators of ! the cotton market have bren at it ' v gathering in all the information about \ our Southern staple crop, cotton, from our own silly producers of cotton who i it seems never ouce consider the fact that they are placing into the hands , am?? anomiau oil tho volnohta i n fr\ r_ kj1 wu1 CU C LU o uil vuv TutuMvav iuiw?mation about our own business that these shrewd manipulators desire.

All you local cotton reporters that are now at it regularly sending in your reports to our enemies about our own affairs, ask yourselves this one question and then go off to some quiet corner and ruminate over the thing. Here is the question : When I have given these pirates of trade all the inside information that I can gather v about my own and all my neighbors' affairs of trade, wonder if these ' propaganders wiH use this valuable Information for the benefit of the toiling legions of our southland and our home interest of the South? Or will he use this advantage given him by our own people to rob th? whole interest, of the South for the benefit of foreign ; interest? Oh, you cheap fools, you traitors of the South's interest.

Nothing of im, portance this time?yes, hy-tlie-way, I want to tell you that Mr. 0. VV. Casey, a member of our union, made enough wheat this time to do him liII another .crop. 4s made, and he didn't have a grain saved himself. How did he do it? That was easy. Last fall he let his renters sow all they wanted to and he didn't make them take some old red hill side, and then with a little short half-shovel scratch in the seed without .' manuring. No, he allowed them to sow the best land he bad and then to turn it good and deep with a good - amount of cotton seed and acid to the acre, and then in the Kpriug he en-'t couraged them in gettiug uitrate of soda for that grain. Now, Bro. Stribling, as an excuse . for not sowing wheat last fall, just listen a I. that old cotton farmer coming 1 at us with that old "gag" that he can ' buy his flour cheaper than he can raise ! it. Now, wouldu't that give the man } that wants to live at home the "jim- ( jams?" Now, here in where we eon- f tend that Casey i.s winner in this mat- j ter. If from some unknown cause j flour should go to eight or nine dollars per barrel it will not hurt this man t for he has his already at home. And there again he will get another crop from that laud, a crop of pea-vine hay , and at the same time leave his land in , a higher stnte ofcultivation than when , he started. And last but not least ( there will not have to be an inspector standing around to see whether Casey's ( flour is pure or not. So you see the "pint?" , Here, you old farmers that have been j buying that "potted" or roited ham, , it really is, instead of raising good old , streaked ham at home, can now con- f tent yourselvesjwith ihe thought that ] you've been eating something that ] wasn't fit to feed a decent bird dog. t Hut then I guess it was alright?it t was put up in a uice little red box and ] cost a "nick." f Say, Bro. Stribling, I was up in your 1 couutry last week and it seems that 3 some of your farmers are trying thai 1 corn stunting plau this time. I believe < they went the whole hog, for it looks \ like they planted stunted seed on stuntea lana, mac li/uamc uij ? will be laid by stunted, an<J we very < much fear will be gathered stunted. ] Take in your lip, I am not talking 1 about your crop.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH. Varied Career of tbe Dlitlngniiked 1 Courtier and Adventurer. Raleigh's day of days was at the sack of Sadiz in 1596. It was Raleigh who overaore the timid counsels of Lord Thomas Eloward, crying out to Lord Essex: "EnTamos I En tram os!" a permission so aoseptable to the gallant young earl that he :hrevr nis na* inro rne sea ior sneer joy. Then Raleigh betook him to his ship and !ed the van under the batteries and right .nto the harbor. When his vessel, shattered by akot, was on the point of sinking, le left It to enter Essex's phip, and, though wounded severely by a splinter, lad himself carried on shore and lifted on ;o a horse to charge with Essex against ;he Spanish army. Of the sea fight Hak:uyt says: "What manner of fight this was and with what courage performed and with what terror to the beholder continued, where so many thundering tearing peecea were for so long a time discharged, I leave It to the Reader to thinke and Imagine." Dt the charge on shore he tells us: "The ;ime of the day was very hot and faint, ind the way was all of dry deepe filyding sand In a manner, and beside that, very aneven. But the most famous Earle, with lis valiant troopes, rather running In leede in good order, then marching, hastened on them with such unspeakable courige and celerity, as within one hourea jpace and lesse the horsemen were all diasomforted and put to flight, their leader ijeTng strooken downe at the very first en ?unter, whereat the footmen, being wonJerfully dismayed and astonished at the unexpected manner of the Englishmen's sinde of such fierce and resolute fight, r&* jyred themselves with all speed possible iat they could." We know the story of Sir Walter Raleigh but too well?his cruel imprisonment, hi? more cruel liberation to save his life by accomplishing the impossible aad his nost cruel execution on a warrant signed 16 years earlier. He knew al/ that is to 3e known erf success and failure, of courts md treachery, of sea fights and assault* jn cities, of treasure islands and tempest* md long marches In tangled forests.? Fortnightly Review. The Landrail. The most remarkable thing about the landrail is Its extraordinary Instinct or Mission for migration. Whence comes to t that overpowering desire which twice n the year Impels it, weak winged though it is, to change its quarters, to range during our English springtime as far north is the bleak and frozen shores of arctlo Greenland, to descead in the fall of the rear away south Into Africa and eastward into Asia, reaching in its return migra;ion countries so distant and so widely Hindered as Natal and Afghanistan? At present, in spite of theories and surmises, we have no satisfactory reason offered to as for the wonderful migration?recurring steadily, persistently and nnfaillngy, year after year?of a Mrd like the landrail, whose weak wings and strongly developed legs plainly attest the fact thai ts natural powers of progression lie far nore in walking and running than 1b lying.?Saturday Review. The Smart Verge*. The church possessed a valuable Bible, rhich was only used on Sundays, says nrriter in The Corn hill Magazine, speakng of an English country parish. During ie week it was kept in a box which rather mriously formed the stand upon which ;he reader of the lessons stood. On on# jccasion, when this was being shown to a risitor, the remark was made that it did lot seem very reverent for even a clergynan to tread upon tho Bible. "Pardon ne," the old verger replied. "In this shurch, sir, we take our stand upon tha Scriptures." A Barrel of Flour. A barrel of flour will make nearly double its weight in bread. Flour rapidly de;erioratea with age unless kept dry.

A HEALTHY MAN. Rere Are the Points That Go to lUki a Centenarian. Here are the points of a healthy man If you have them all you may, barring iccidents, count on being a centenarian If you have most of them, you'll reach f ripe old age, but even if you have only i few don't be alarmed, for many apparent ly crazy human machines last a surprin Ingly long time. First, your body and limbs should tx plump, but the plumpness should be o: the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type Your figure ought to be erect, and,whethei you are tall or short, well proportioned Length without breadth is a very bac thing in a man, for there is no room foi vital organs large enough to thoroughly perform their duties. Your step should be springy and elastic your gait ton and easy. These things in dicate muscles of good quality and nerv< of good tone. Your eye should be brigh and neither prominent nor hollow. Brighi eyes show that the circulation of blood ix the brain is good. Your complexion should be clear ant fresh. It is usually not well with yoi when your face is pale, 6allow, florid oi subject to sudden flushings. But In thii matter your occupation has great influ Mice, and you might have the worst posei ble complexion and bo in perfect health But that, of course, is the exception, no tho rule. Your head should not be very large, oo at least if it is large your neck, shoulden and chcst ought to correspond in size. I you feel your pulse, it should be regular if it drops a beat now and again or beati wD-rv fncf. nnrl exftitedlv after the least ex ertion or emotion then the heart ia weak Your breathing should be tranquil and In audible. Any sounds mean that the pas sages are more or less clanged. You should not know you have a etom ach?that is to say, as a rule. Of couru there are times when that organ gets ou of order in the healthiest individual, an( then it is always sure to make its ownei aware of its existence. You should al ways, except when the weather is bitterl] cold, feel comfortably warm through you: whole body, even to the tips of the flngeri and toes. Otherwise something is wronf with the circulation or the heat produclni apparatus. You should have sound sleep, without dreams or nightmares, and it should no last too long or too short?say, eight U eight and a half hours every night. Your voice should not be hoarse, ani you should be a stranger to sore throats Your appetite should not be too great oi too small, while you should not be a suf ferer from headaches, giddiness or neu ralgia, and, of course, you should not hav< palpitations or faintings or vari^pse veins If you answer to the above description yon have neither disease of the brain spinal cord, heart, lungs, liver, stomach muscles or nerves, and you are in as per feet health as it is possible for human be ings to be. But at the same time many a rount shouldered, narrow chested, thin and sal low man is as tough as steel, works hart and lives till he is almost tired of th< world, and, of course, even the healthles of us must go through a course of colds coughs, headaches, dyspepsia attacks anc the like. Still, if your chest is small in proportioi to the rest of your body you are likely U have less stamina, and you should no' overdo such things as football, cycling o: even brain work.?New York World.
