Watching to Nee Which M ay the Cnt

' 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

instead of standing out there i

he will becoming to town, but he is J

we come to think about it, if there I

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 ,

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.
How long, oh how long will it be before
our whole people of the South

and gone a fishing, perhaps I had better
eay something. 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. ]

"It Is extraordinary," said a book col- <

ihowed me two old trunks filled with
aooks which he had found in a house orignally

;hor, and which she had recently inherited
'rom her mother. Thero were In all per- I
laps about 300 volumes, most of which

*ras a liar when I told him that, but he '
changed his mind after ho had tried In
rain to sell the books to secondhand dwd- |
jrs. '
''Outside of these overestimated books
ny friend's wife had a barrelful of pamphlets

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

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. It
idsords moisture, uaa ijjih uiuisluxb impairs
the gluten which is indispensable to
;he lightno6s of the bread. Besides, It
:hanges 6ome of the starch into sugar and
i gummy matter known as dextrin, and
ihis makes the bread heavy and sodden.
"Kid" is merely a jocose substitution

used "kid" in this sense, and Virg*i

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.
