jfflifi ii Bom. Meeting Called Off. Fuv good reaaoos National Proaident K. F. Duckworth, of the Farmers' Union, has called off the ootton price-making meeting in Atlanta, oalled for August 2. Said meeting to be oalled to commence in Texarkana, Arkansas, September 5. Deceptive Growth ol Cotton Stalk. From every quarter come reporte of the overgrowth of ootton stalks. El ports know that this extraordinary largo sup ply of over-production of stalk has been made at the expense of tho fruiting pos sibilities of the lund. Therefore the flat tgrajig show of largo stalks in some ton i is -ory deceptive and may load many to over-estimate their crops. 'It is not stalks, with forms twelve inches apart, that count. It ia the thick-sot bolls, from two to three inobea apart on medium stalk?, that indicate a fine crop. The Rallying Farmer, We have before us great stacks of newspapers and letters from all over every ootton State In the South. A glance over .the newe from the ootton fields o' tue South, aa written by the real farmer himself, is very encouraging, indeed, as to the determination of formen to come together and take charge of their own affairs. In our sister State, Georgia, we note that they have now iu the Farmers' Union over 45,000 members, and they have just begun in earnest, and their meetings, already published, number, for AugUBt, 72 different places. This educa tional campaign oi the Farmers' Union is now on in ear oort in all the cotton (Af ates. These farmers have gone into noe all over the cotton territory in a sys tematic way that bids fair to create something like a real i evolution in the management of our whole cotton inter ests. From every State comos the glorious news of large, enthusiast ic meetings and the springing up of farmers' cotton warehouses in all the cotton States. The ootton farmers have stopped digging in the fields for a whilo and aro digging and throwing their fortifications ready to defend their interests. The cotton farmer has learned to watch both tho bunghole and the spigot of bis business. Ile no longer con tinues to pour in the good stuff at the bunghole and nevor look out for the leak at the spigot. The Farmers' Union man of to-day has been educatod up to the point where he can understand that there are two important features of his business-ono is to produce good crops and the other is to get good prices for that good orop. Where is the good of producing good crops if the good crops bring to the far mer actually lesa money and profits than poor crops have done? Tho unorganized cotton farmers have for years been spreading before the cotton tradesmen and speculators of the world a great and grand feast, while cotton growers them selves havo stood around thia festal table with gags in their own mouths, placed there by each other. Farmers, will you ever learn the les son-the one moat important lesson be fore you-that if ever thore is anything done for the interest of tho farmers, that farmers themselves must help each other? Never go about catering to men in other occupations to help you when you have not tried to help your own interests by joining with your fellow craftsmen, your brother farmer. Crop Liars and Colton Report Leaks. All along we have boen doubting that it was true that quite a number of our ootton planters had sold their crops of ca&on before they had planted them, ?froad, since selling out, been engaging themselves to aid the gang of orop liars. But after Borne cloao observation and in vestigations by others wo are forced to admit that there are more of our ootton planters engaged in this very rotten and demoralizing work than we had any idea of. , This is a statement coming from one of the most conservative men in ono of thn^feMt cotton counties in .South Caro Hn&^B.ast. week we met a company of t lu .?ospocial cotton orop reporters going all about over our county making up a special ootton crop report. Ono of theao men was a half breed cotton buyer and cotton planter, ono was a lawyor that is oftentimes engaged to work on tho shady ide of lawsuits, and tho other was a i eal olly drummer who was having a good imo, but had nevor hoon in cotton in ny way before. This speoial agent rowd rr^orted this county's orop of cot on at 874 sud two wooks earlier, when very fnrraor in tho county knows tho rop to be two weeks later, and that the rge sappy growth of stalk is at tho ox onse of tho crop of fruit. Another rogular cotton crop roportor this same oounty is tho drunken son a wealthy business man of the city, ho sent his son out to tho country for formatory purposes. This reformed n thinks himself a fino full flodgod I ton planter and is endorsod by tho Uod States Govornmont, who for bes tho largo franked envelopes for return of this oxport ootton planters' ort, which was handed in as 00 per t oonditiou. oly Moses I What will become of a ntry whoso ohief industry is placed the hands of such ohoap judges/ "tot's, it is your fault that theso oon >yparo hero among us. e believe in ootton reports, but wo ovo in tho cotton growers making r reports to oaoh other like other oo tiona aro doing. And tho boat way to stop the leakages of government, re ports is for produoers of cotton to stop giving in these reports to a set of men who have been proven guilty of selling out the interest of the whole South for (tunis that have gone to the trusted gov ernment scoundrels. Where is the house-wife that would continuo to pour fine wine into a jug that sho knew had all along been leak ing? Where is the farmer that would put hip ooin in bis left pooket when he knew that there was a bolo in this pCCiiC't? . 1 They Won t Slick. A member of another union while talk ing to a msoab?f o? our union a few days ago, said that he was afraid that the farmers wouldn't stiok after they had met and put a ; rico on their cotton. (Here, brother S tr i hiing takes a fdw drops of tnis camphor. Maybe that will keep you from "throwing up.") No, "they wou't stick." Now, wa* n't that fellow playing some sweet muslo, after knowing that cotton went from seven cents to ten and a half in July of the same year? And didn't he know that our man knew that this rise in the price was brought about by the farmers "astiokin*?" Say, Colonel, don't you think you could out the "double shuffle" after that fel low's music, when you remember that tho union met at Texarkana last Sep tember and put the price of eleven cents on their cotton and that standiug shoul der to shoulder they are still getting that price? Poor fellow, we don't know what impression he wanted to make on our man, but the kind that he did make was that a member that ls always talking about the other fellow not sticki-.g, is always the very first man to kick out of the harness when things don't go to please bim. Now, from what we oan learn this fellow has listened so much to the man that don't belong to the union, till bo is not. only real bilious, but he has even caught the "itch." So wo would advise him to stay away from town, get out of tho union for awhile, and tuke his dues and get him a box of Farmers' Un ion Pills and take three after each meal, thereby getting his stomach right. Also get a box of Farmers' Union Salve aud give himself a good greasing and quit Bcratching HO much in company, and when he is well of the above diseases let him go back to his union and try and be a ! man. Our union met last Saturday uvoning, thc 21st, and priced our oottou, and now if tho other unions don't want our prico, just watch UB s tay by the price they set, i i i ist, last and all tho time. W.

Nusbaum, BateBville, Indiana, wi it es: "Last year I sufferod for three mouths with a summor cold so distress ing that it intorforred with my business.

For tunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar and it quickly cured nie. My wife has since used Foley's Honoy and Tar with tho saino success." Dr J. W. Boll. Mother Burned With Six Children. His wife and six children dead, his home destroyed, himself badly, if not fatally, burned, is the fate of Solo mon Gobba, whose residence was on the outskirts of Lafayette, Ind. Gobba was in the yard on July 7, wheu ho saw the flames coiniug from tho upper part of the house. He called Inn wife and they together rushed up the stairs to awaken the ohildren. Both were overcome by smoke. Gobba managed to crawl to the window, and in an effort to raise it tell to the ground, sustaining painful injuries, while the mother and six children perished in the flames. Four of the little ones were cre mated outright and the others suffo cated. ?lsie, aged 14, was at a neighbor's home for the night and so esoaped. It Costs Nothing To find out for a certainty whether or not your heart is affected. One person in four has a weak heart; it may be you. If so, you should know it now, and save serious con sequences.

St. Petersburg, August 2.-A re port was current this evening that Czar Nioholas and the imperial family have fled from Peterhoff to Tzarko-Selo. Following the announcement of tho disorders at CronsUdt oame a rumor that trouble had also broken out at Revel and Abo. Tt \- ' feared there is an uprising at Sevastopol. St, Petersburg, August 2.-( Noop) The oity is in the greatest excite, ment at this hour ov?i a report just made current that fighting began at Cronstadt during the night and that, at least 100 persons had been killed, and that Admiral Boaklwisheff is among the wounded. To add to the general alarm, the statement is made that four uiuti nous warships have arrived at Cron stadt and ttfat the guns of the fort ress are trained upon them, but that no firing has been done up to the time of this dispatch. The assertion is made that muti nous sailors and soldiers at Fort Constantine, Cronstradt, seized the fortification last night aud immedi ately attacked the loyal regiments. The fighting was severe, but the mutineers were eventually dislodged and compelled to surrender. How to Advold Appendicitis. Most viotims of appendicitis are those who are habitually constipated.

Credit is an awful thing, one that bas wreoked many a man's life and welfare. It is very strange how a man can expeot to have the confi dence of his fellow-men, and at the same time have accounts running with most every business man in the town in which he lives. This is not right, and just, and should not be the case. If the whole business world oould be put on a striotly oash basis, think how much better off everyone would be, how much happi ness it would mean to all. This would be, indeed, a different world. We often hear the statement made that the world is growing bet ter and the people wiser each day. Statistics go to show that tho relig ious world is on the increase, and from all accounts one would be com pelled to believe each generation that comes along is growing wiser than the preoeding generations, but this is not altogether true in every respect. The thought of "doing some one before some one does you" has entered the minds of this gene ration and it seems to have a strong hold upon them, even in most every branch of life. Some have grown wiser by perfecting plans by which to shirk their duties, while others have grown exceedingly wise in learning how to dodge a bill col lector, and if by chance tho collector "happens upon him," he has grown so wise that he knows his hard-luck tale off by heart, which would almost bring tears to tho eyes. We sincerely hope that things will ohange this year and they ought to, especially in the Southland, where on every hand you will find pros perity, which surely enables all a chance to get out of debt. So if you owe an honest debt, pay it ; do not put it off any longer. Every one will think a great deal more of you for doing so. "Pay your honest debts." -Kook Hill Herald. Rheumatism.

Tho Amerioau hog has a virulent enemy in the editor of a paper at Big Springe, Texas, who proceeds to roast the great mortgage-lifter "n the following caustic fashion : The hog is thu dadblaraedest, Bplit-hoofed, long-snouted, busybody animal we ever saw. He oan make a fellow mnddor than other animals that infest th*? premires. He will always squeal and muddy your pants when he knowi you aro trying to feed him. He will gut in your garden ttirough a knothole and destroy enough pro duce in three minutes to feed your wife and children for three months. He will pay no attentidn to a wide open gate, where you want him to go through, but will shovel out seve ral cubio yards of dit - to make a hole into a place yon don't want him to go. He is the biggest nuisance and most profitable on the farm. You will never know the trouble and pleasure of life until you raise hogs. They are a bother and a vexation to the spirit of man, while they live, but bring joy and contentment to the soul of man, when they die at hog-killing time. Sorub yourself daily, you're not olean inside. Clean inside means olean stom ach, bowels, blood, liver, c.eau, healthy tissue in every organ. MORAI.: Take Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. 36 couts, Tea or Tablets. Dr. J. W. Bell. ^**? Beverage's Turkey Story. Senator Beverage desired to illus trate strongly the force of habit. "In Sullivan, where I spent my boyhood," he said, "there was a physician whom everybody liked ; a hard working, modest, absent-minded man. "The physician was the guest of honor one thanksgiving at the house of a leading citizen, and when the gay assemblage entered the dining room the leading citizen said to him : ".Now, dootor, on account of your aurgioal skill, I'll ask you to oarve. That bird is a twenty-four pounder, and yet he is as young and tender as a spring pullet. None but you could do justice to him.' "The physician, his mind on other things, smiled absently, took the head of the table, raised the knife and made a deep incision in the breast of the turkey. "Then he frowned, rummaged in his pocket and brought out some ab sorbent cotton, a roll of bandages and paper of pins, and with these he proceeded to dress and bind up the wound he bad made. . "The guests were stricken dumb. They looked on in utter amazement. The doctor inserted the last pin and patted the neat dressing he had mado. Then he looked up and smiled. " 'And now," he said, *let us hope that in a week, with care, our patient will be on his feet again.' "-Wash ington Post. A woman worries until she gets wrin kles, then worries because *he has them. If she takes Hollister's Rooky Mountain Tea she would have neither. Bright, smiling faoe follows its use. 35 oouts, Toa or Tablets. Dr. J. W. Bell. A Mother's Retort Dr. Breckenridge, a well-known Amerioan olergyman, and his two brothers, also of the same profession, one day paid a visit to their mother. "Do you not think, mother," said he, "that you ruled us with too rigid a rod in our boyhood? It would have been better, I think, had you used gentler methods." The old lady straightened up and said, "Well, William, when you have raised up three as good preachers as I have, then you can talk I" O.A.STOXIX-?.. Bean th?
