(FARMERS' UNION Tbe Recent Meeting in Charlotte Was a Big Success All Round. FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT For Farmers, As Education Along All Linos Is Making Wonderful Progress, and the Union Gathers Strength., Wisdom and Experience As It Grows Older. President Barrett, of the National Farmers' Union, says the meeting just concluded at Charlotte was the most successful in the history of the order. Among other things lie said: I "Largest in point or attendance, most representative from geographical standpoint and most significant for the serious and determined air of business methods under which n was conducted, the national convention of the Farmers' union just closed in Charlotte, X. C., is unquestionably the most successful of the national gatherings in the history of our order. "From year to year I have watched the organization develop into greater proportions as reflected in these national conventions. It has remained for the one just held to record new progress in those directions meaning most of permanent good both to the actual membership and to the fanners generally of America. "All organized state were represented and the personal of the reprecAnfotinn n-oe Viicrlmct' nncciliJu DClliailVlI ?? u o \JL uijjuvkjv pvs>wi-.'iorder. We have had sore heads and trouble makers in previous convenr tions. There were few or none in the convention that has just reached its conclusion. A spirit of brotherhood and of unity which prophesies splendid things for the future governed the deliberations of the organized farmers of America. "One of the most significant fea, tures of the convention was the absence of "fool" resolutions that used I to cause me misgivings in previous conventions. Sometimes members, with the best of intentions but t wrongheadedly, would introduce' resolutions looking to extravagant exi penditures, or chimerical scheme or altruistic and impossible ventures. The fact that these phases were con spiciously missing from the recent, i convention, is conclusive evidence that the membership is purging itself or of unprofitable dreaming and directing its driving force instead at practical ends of practical means. "The legislative program framed by the convention largely parallels the issues and measures heretofore advanced by myself and by your 5 beard of directors and legislative committees, though amendments and additions will cause a slight revision ' of policies. It is our intention to | prosecute this winter at Washington the most aggressive fight in our his tory for legislative measures and reforms of interest to the membership and of the American farmer without i regard to locater. c I promise you that my utmost influence and energies will be employed in giving execution to the mandate handed down by the convention, to the end that the national government shall take more actual cognizl ance of the needs and the rights of the American farmers and it is fightin? the devil with fire. Only to the extent we make politicians appreciate ' the power of our ballots, irrespective of nnrtis.m aliVnmonr will -nra succeed in securing legislative redress along the lines most helpful to our cause. "A notable feature of the cor.j vention is the fact that your official family there selected conies from every part of the country. He did noi set out by design to have geographical representation as to a basis for the national officials, but it happened that the choice of the convention full on men drawn from every portion of the country, bordering on the two oceans and from the great inland. It would have been impossible for the convention to choose a finer body of officials and the particular personnel this year indicate the organization has become national in fact as in name. This departure was givan special emphasis by the fact that never in the historrv of the order has the representation of the delegates also been more of a national character. "Throughout the deliberations, the spirit of mutual understanding and of mutual tolerance was strong and dominating. The farmers of this country are learning each other better, learning better how to trust each other, how to waive small personal rights and pool them for the general good. That is an important lesson of the convention. "Business methods and sentiment ruled strongly. There was little shouting, little purposeless enthusism, but calm, Joeical discusion of business plans, and of approved and tried means to forward the welfare of the organization. "In this connection, it will be of interest to the membership to learn that we took a thorough census at the convention of congressional candidates defeated by the efforts of the Farmer's I'nion?I refer to the congressmen who were indifferent to our request for aid until they came up for re-election and who then went down on their knees to us. We have observed the policy of helping those who help us and I assure you the list of aspiring politicians whom we were instrumental in defeating for their indifference or treachery was truly formidable. Our work along j this line has. moreover merely bogun. I have always and will always L decry and denounce partisan politic! [ within the order.

The Sabbath, including its complicated variations, ts rich and impressive material t'c.r a child's imagination. On Thursday evening the mother already prepares dough, goes to i?sark?*t, cleans the fish, etc, In i lie morning the baking of "cli:-U?" thread). Mow bewitching for a child to watch the mother making different shapes of dough, smearing it with egg and decorating it with braids of different shapes and forms. A Jewish child gets the first lesson in what we call modelling by making make-believe "chales." In the e\0!i?n* thp mother prepares to meet the oauuath. The child partake.-; in the household occupations and thereby gets habits of industry, order and reg.rd for the rights and iueas of others and tne fundamental habit of subordinating his activities to til.. i-uiiui-mI interest of tile household. This is especially true in regard to Jewish households where everything seems to be prescribed by law. Before darkness sets in on Friday evening the housewife lights in the dining room extra candles or a special lamp in honor of Sabbath and ceads the blessing. Quite often a child not yet able to talk will cover its face with its little palms, imitating the gestures of the devoted mother. Then returning trom the synagogue, the appreciative greeting, "Good Sauoath," the Kid(fu.sh, the blessing over wine, the special and the holiday spirit of all who participate has undoubtedly a soothing, beneficent influence upon the child. After supper the time ift spent in resting.?American Hebrew. The Mississippi River Boat Theaters. Acting is the last resource of a river grafter. There were a gambler, a medicine-uian, a river fiddler, a housepainter and his wife in three shanty boats at the mouth of the St. Francis river one time a few years ago. There was not a dollar in tlhe pockets of them all. They tried selling medicine, picking cotton, drifting for logs, ilshing, trapping and junking without success. They discussed the acute question of something to eat, and decided upon a show. The gambler knew some card tricks, and had been second fiddler in an Indian territoty opera troupe, the medicine-man could play a banjo, the woman could sing, the fiddler was an artVkio on/1 rvointnr aah 1 <1 tai kji ufo r\iuu, aau lug puiulwi wutu sell tickets and maintain order. They had a rehearsal in the morning, in the afternoon two of the men went up the bank to advertise, and that night they played to a 510 house. The troupe broke up at Helena a week later with pocket-money earned by the show. Many a river man, hounded by bad luck and down to the point of killing other men's nogs, has recouped his fortunes by a monologue or lightning-change entertainment, specially have gamblers been facile in impromptu shows. Plantation darkies are not critical, and show-boats of '.he lowe.st type depend on them for audiences. Many a show-boat exchanges tickets for eggs, corn, flour and other provenuer. One man with t phonograph worked his way from the upper .Mississippi to New Orleans, charging admission to hear the talk ing machine. A medicine-boat gives shows to exploit a cure-all. A lecturer and music and doctor to doctor seeking a cure, is all most of them have. The boat drops from landing to landing, advertising a free show and selling medicine to the audience. Some medicine shows are more elaborate. One med icine-man for years gave a play showing a woman seeking health as the heroine. She went from place to place the magic medicine, taking which she The villain led her, obviously, away from the cure, but at last the hero rescued her from the villain, gave her th emagic medicine, taking which she was marvelously cured and became marvelously beautiful. ? Raymond Spars iu Harper's Weekly. Advertising Monopolies. There are many public service corporations in Philadelphia which freely make use of newspaper advertising space. The United Gas Improvement company, the Philadelphia Electric company and the Phiadelphia Rapid Transit company all talk to the people through the only kind of medium that all the people read. Each of these companies has a monopoly of the particular product which it sup plies. It will occur to the average man, jpon due reflection, that if a monopolized business needs newspaper advertising a business in wuich there is strenuous competition stands doubly in need of it. Monopolies have only to cultivate the good win 01 the public and create new demand. Rivels in trade must do botn of these things, and must also direct the demand aftei it is created.

Vacation Constancy. Taeoma has trebled in size during the past nine years. tion of the highest order. Reports brought in by delegates the nation over, .indicates that the past year has been phenomenal from a standpoint of educational progress. The membership is learning the real aims of the organization with a splendid unanimity and they are following our agricultural propanda as well as our fraternal principles. "Co-operation also is beginning to have a new significance and is becoming transruted from a mere meaningless word to intensive, perslsteat application. "As indicating: the high water mark ii i PUBLIC LANDS FOR GIRLS. There are several million young romen working their way into the luslness world, and whose future is: . mere chance. It may end successully, but more often disastrously. A oung woman may be ever so compecnt, but her salary Is not increased o such an extent she can provide for he future. It is either marriage or etirement from actual duties at the xpense of others after she has turned out the candle of her u^efulless. To provide a competence for such owig working git's a plan is sugesieci by *>V. R. Draper, of Kansas -iiy, Mo., by whi'h the government an be of sxc?t h.'lp and assurance o ?);.* wori ing g'-ls. There are at lvs.-nt seven hum'ted million acres f P' llic laud in the United States, ' which Hi-jiroximat^ly two hundred million a-res is irrigable.

Water can ie delivered to the land at a net cost, f six to twenty dollars an acre and s being soli at s; oh prices.

Then COTTON BOOL WEEVIL WHICH HAS CAUSED SO MUCH ' WO 111 iV AA'D ANXIETY. a ( f v Is Now Claimed to be ITnder Control , by the National Agricultural De- t partmcnt. ? ' r The Augusta Chronicle 6ays news e that should gladden the hearts of 1: Southern farmers conies out of Wash- c ington to the effect that the boll weevil is on the road to the past. This v pernicious insect, small, mysterious : and insidious, has threatened the cotton growing industry of the South for a decade. . During a short period of time, when it was new and unknown, ,it caused a fear that spread and had its effect in the marts of cotton trade far from the glistening fields of white. It bid fair at one time to levy tribute upon whole sections, and none knew but what it would sone day change the destines of an agricultural empire. It has been quite evident for many years that many, if not most, of the I' fears with reference to the invasion r of the weevil were groundless. Com- a munities in Texas and Louisiana, 6 which, were laid bare, so far as the a production of cotton was concerned, ii recovered quickly from its effects, P when heroic steps were taken to ob- c literate it. Estimates based on the rule of pre- f gression by which the weevil has t seemingly been governed have ind!- v dicated that it might be expected in t: Georgia about the year 1914. How- r ever now that means of complete r control and even obliteration have s been discovered?and are being h scientifically applied?the farmers i of that state may feel secure, so far, v at least, as any general or material t danger is concerned. t Credit is due to the agricultural department of the federal govern- t rnent for the greater part of the bea- e eficial work done in removing the i greatest apparent enemy King Cot- x ton has ever faced. Experts have ' been given almost unlimited means to 11 make experiments and appiy cura- r tlves. h All tlio nrrtH npfirc h qt'o hnon oolr o1 G to do was to follow the instructions h of these agentH. Demonstrations 7 have taught the farmers in threatened areas to take advantake of the f discoveries and apply them without ' expert aid. :1 The method pursued is in the main, a simple one. Farmers are 1 taught to gather from the ground n the cotton bolls which have been attacked and have withered and fallen to the ground. These are burned. u Added to this deep plowing and 1 other precautions in cultivation are a urged, and have been applied, with 3 the result that the agricultural de- * partment announces that the pest is now under control. The federal agricultural depart- ? ment. has rpppivpri material aH fv-nm 11 state entomological departments and 1 the farmers' schools and colleges of the South. * ^ WILL RESIST DISEASE. t< Prof. DoLoach, of Georgia, Finds }, New Cotton Seed. u o Prof. DeLoach, along with the oth- p er members of the staff of the Geor- n gia State College of Agriculture, all h of whom have been working to de- p velop a cotton seed that can resist n the fatal anthracnose, has practically .succeeded in securing the desired t] tpye of seed. It is calculated that tl this discovery will save the Souih li millions of dollars annually, provid- tl ing the seed can be placed in gener- c al use. Experiments have been conducted for some time by many experts along this line. a CISTEllX Ml'ltDER MYSTERY. - , V Two Bodies Were Found Beneath a a u Rooming House. t< Acting ou a new clew given by an t( anonymous letter to Mayor Crowder, ^ a cistern beneath a rooming house at ^ Jackson, Miss., has been drained and cl two human bodies found. One of the bodies is that of a child, only a few days old, and the other that of a man. The rooming house, it is alleged, has been frequented bp women, mostly strangers in Jackson, 0 and the police believe they will, upon investigation, reveal a series of p crimes in connection with the place. Ci N'o arrests have as yet been made, a but several are expected later in the 11 week. * p n Should Be Xo Strikes. R H Satisfaction must be felt over the ^ end of the great coal strike in llli- a nois. The settlement, taken as z Sj whole, was a substantial victory for fl the miners, wherein most every one will rejoice as it is generally admitted that the men were not getting <1 fair return for their labor. The pity of it is that a long strike of " months, Involving much distress and n Inconvenience, was necessary to bring ^ about the desired end. It will not al- ^ ways be needful to use such blur>- ^ dering weapons as strikes and lock- f outs. A more humane sentiment re- c cognizing what is right between man and man will ultimately find a sol- (l vent and bring about more cordial relations between labor and capital. The one redeeming feature about ..he recent strike was the quiet self-'e- nc strain! of the miners who were guil- w ty of no outrages. j of achievement in the history of the organized farmer and as holding d<>- h? finite promise of more progress iu lie the future, the convention just clo6- h< ed is a magnificant earnest of ad- da vancement of our people, of rhat uni- in vereal beiterrueut in behalf of our- ri' selves and the nation's prosperity and to welfare to come." - tb , water right costs additional, but 3 handled in teD or more annual ayments which almost any farmer an meet However the residence clause erects the laboring ch-ss. Before waer is brought to their land the soil /ill produce next to nothing and a nan or woman without capital canlot make the land pay them any eturns whatever. In fact, not vntil ix months to a year aflfr water is irought to the la-id will it commences to bring in returns to the worker. For this reason it is next o impossible for a working person o file on government irrigable land The residenre clause was placed here to prevent sppcu'ation in govrnment land, but it seeing to work ust opposite. The poor farmer, or ha lnhni-iii<r woman pnnnot take 11D his land because they cannot "stick t out." The man of wealth employs; a lumber of yovng men to file on the and and later when they h.ive provd up he buys it. or has already ought it In > advance, giving them a rub stake, as it were. The result 5 nnw apparent in many western irigated land districts and land is beng brought under individual control i an as'oundirg manner. The plan proposal?that of dor.atng forty acres ;o cach working girl ver twenty years of age who has arned her living for the past eigiisen months?is as follows: To donate the 'and free of all cost, o make the water ri?ht r.t exact cost o be paid at the rate of one dollar n acre per annum until fully paid, nd to a'.low them to file on the land ,-ithout living on it. Restrictions would be: The wolen thus benefited could not be periltted to sell or mortgage the land or five years, and then for not less ban thirty dollars an acre. She must not permit the title to ass from her possession for less ( han five years unless meantime she ( hould die, then the claim reverts j her nearest female relative. This permits young women workng In cities and elsewhere to take p government land and rent it out ( r hold it and thus acquire a. com- ( etence for their future, but it does ot permit them to take it rp and ( old it a short time and sell It. The lan Is one that can be abused, but ot easily. While working girls, especially 't hose in cities, do not have much enhusiasm over irrigated public lands, ! they will look into the subject heir enthusiasm will rapidly inrease. For instance: Irrigated lands ensred a few years ago at Yuma. Ariz., re now worth $500 an acre, cost with ater right about $25 an acre: irriated lands in the Yakima Valley in Washington are selling at $1,000 an ere, entered a few years ago at the sual price of $1.25 an acre with wa>r rights at $30 an acre, payable in sn years. In fact, there are Humerus public land districts where these rlgated public lanas nave jumpen -om almost nothing to three, five nd even ten hundred dollars an ere in the last five yea's.

WHY MY ffON Congressman Webb Gives His Views on Democratic Victories. BELIEVES THE REVOLT Against Republican Party Result of "Rroken Tariff Promises, Bossism, Cannonism and Standpatism" and Predicts Democratic Victory in November and Two Years Hence. The Wsahington correspondent of The News and Courier says when Congressman Edward Y. Webb, of the 9th North Carolina district, was m wasmngton a day or two ago, ne said: "Broken promises with reference to revising the tariff, bossism, Cannonism and standpatism are the ciiief causes of the nation-wide revolt against the Republican party at the present time. Champ Clark will be the next Speaker." Analyzed closely the statement of Mr. Webb will be found to be the keynote of the causes that are fast leading to a Democratic victory in the next Congress and to a national victory in 1912. Continuing, Mr. Webb said: 'Think of it, the last Democratic Senator in Maine was elected in 1847, just sixtythree years ago. He was James W. Bradbury. Maine has not elected a Democratic Representative since 1855 more that half a century ago. She hasn't elected a Democratic Governor in thirty years, but now she is to have a Democratic Governor, a Democratic United States Senator and two of her Representatives will be Democratic. Maine has 16 counties and the Democrats carried thirteen of these erstwhile Republican stronghold and n?A? o T"\/Mv?r\n**a fir* T Dclclatiiro liv a n UU a l/VJUUVyi Utiv^ uv^igiui-ui v Kfj *.* big majority. This news pressages a tremendous Democratic victorry in the next House and the election of a Democratic President in 1912. The Republican party in the nation is worn out, scattered, routed and beaten. The bottom has dropped out. "The same influences that are causing voters in other States to turn towards Democracy are at work in North Carolina. The State Democracy is in fine shape and we will poll a much bigger vote in November than we did two years ago. The Republicans are on the defensive and are spending most of their time apologising for having made boodle, booze and bonds the party enemies. We will redeem the three districts that went Republican three years ago and North Carolina again will have a solid Democratic delegation in Congress." Viewed from a Washington standpoint, and there is none better anywhere from which to fix the political level, the G. 0. P. is rotten to the cure, as ivir. vv euu bctjb. 1 lit? aauieu elephant which has marched triumphantly to the White House for many years Is grievously sick and even Dr. Roosevelt and other well-known party specialists are unable to effect a cure. None of them are willing to diagnose the case, though most strenuous efforts are being made to remedy the situation. The truth of the matter Is the Republican party, with a record of years of greed and selfishness is choking itself to death. It has become so fat with the eflect of spoils gotten at the peoples' expense that it is about to pay the penalty and forfeit its life. The result of such a condition is that everywhere throughout the country the Democrats are preparing for a triumphant entry into the 62d Congress with the possibility also of capturing the White House two years later. * JUGGLING THE CENSUS. For tlio Benefit of the Republicans in Some States. The Washington correspondent of rhe News and Courier says few people around Washington who know Director of the Census Durand and are acquainted with his high official position and record, believe the stories that have been current there for some time to the effect that census figures in some instances are being jusglod and will be held back for political reasons. It has been hinted here fore some time that in those sections where tho Democrats are likely to make gains in the next House, figures may not >e given until after the next Legisature in those States have been elected, so that wherever possible .the Republicans may have a better oplortuuity of getting men in the Legslatures, hence restricting the redisricting measures which will come be 'ore them. It is almost certain that in Texas here will be eight new members of Congress when the redistricting is ompleted; in Oklahoma there will ie more members, and elsewhere hroughout the couutry the Demo rats are expected to add materially 0 their present numbers in Congress, t is to stop this, it is said, that cenus figures are to be "fixed" in such 1 way that the Legislatures are fo >e controlled, in some cases, by the tepublicans. Of coure. no one in Washington lelieves this nor that Mr. Dura ad roil Id be a party to such a scheme. iuf. it is nevertheless true that in oms cases complete figures could ave been made public sometime back ut for some mysterious reason have j of.
