Just at this juncture while New York is doing her best to make money so ti:ht that farmers cannot get it to hold their produce off the market for profita1ple pri-e.s. our Farmers Cotton Union is makin arrangements for a permanent business in the way of storing 'heir cotton in foreign coun tries near the consumers of raw cot ton. After cool deliberation and caieful investigation of the cotton situation in Ameriea and its subjection to mani - pulation by New York which has for years put on panic's and held up money and controlled prices of cotton at. their will, the Farmers Union has become desperately in earnest and put on her paint to battle New York out by going around her barricade direct from southern ports with her cotton to foreign manufacturers. Test shipments, first 50 bales, then 500 bales, then three thousand bale lots, have already been made direct by cotton producers on this new plan * and aMl concerned are delighted with the change. --The advantages and ind'ucemients are that warehouse storage can be had across they water for eight cents per bale anid money at from foiir to * six per cent. As our farmers ware hiouses are nowv being filled to over fow in places and New York is tight ening her strings on money for gotton storage, we are delighted to chroniele this ne,w mode oif relief for Southern cotton farmers who ha.ve too long *served as-slaves for the up building of New -York when we have at least hiallf a dozen as good ports on the southern cast. for shipping cotton as New York has. And as these cotton thieves in New York have robbed <deign spinnars as well as southern growers, this no idea of direct trade wih .emanufactu.rers and producers of' cotton is one of nautual benefit to 'both interests. Our enemies to this turn in the cot ton trade are expected to put up a good fight against this flank move -ment and its premnoters are prepared to meet their movement.s and check * Imate their fire on every move. In their first move NekYork and others have objected to advancements on bills on shipments on cotton to foreign ports and thro.ugh t.he cour tesy of international trading in cot ton, the southern planters will for a -time be compel'led to place their cot ton at forsign ports beiore they can draw anyv money on their cotton - which they are doing as cotton is just . as safe on the wiater and in fQreign warehouses at it is here. There is no risk here an'd the farmers can weE afford to wait about three weeks for advancements. And as for New York's money to move cotton with the southern cotton gronvers own cot ton carries its own collateral with its self and aill this bamboozle about it taking such large capital to simply move or ship eotton is pure New York rot. Are These Cotton Mill Banks? .. Why is it. that some of our banks are getting up money to aid cotton growers in were h&ising their cotton out of reach of cotton bears and ot.her banks of larger capital state that they cannot get the money to advance on totton to help the farmers in their fight for profitable prices for cot ton?. * If you wiil go down deep into these excuses you will find that there are -a lot of stock holders and oficeers in these banks that can 't give aid in .retiring cotton from 'the market that are also stock holders in cotton mills. - who are interested in keeping the Aiml to 1nm a Inder box knolws that all the money advaiced on cotton ex -.ept about twenty per cent goes right back into circulation again. Farmers now is the time to spot your friends and stand by them when ot c.ie to deposit your money. In this whole iatter of making ad vancements on cotton it is a matter Ar buViines and in selecfing our r iend, the bankers that will not aid the farmers in getting profitable price for his cotton has made his choice with those who are interested in hoIllg down cot mn priices and it i< b.: Iair n ;-ze fann1S to ch4o-e X~~ - filln. ffo, the simpl reason that a friend in need is a frienid indeed. WV. W. Smitlf. Farmers Union. The irmers' Union does not object to the 'towns. cities, railroads and other interests g,rowing in iwealth. But as the Farmer is the main pro ducer of this wealth we insist that the faviming interest. his farm houses and his style of livin churches., school houses and roads. shall be up in pace with every other interest. We simply demand a square deal and are conifident that we will thronghl our organized efforts get our share of these good things as we go along. An Orphan The farmer who refuses to join his eraftsmin in their organized efforts ,o protect our common farming inter est is an Orphan. He has no recog nised head of his calling or Father of his farming family. And if he did not owe mother earth for the material it took from -her bosom to grow his body, old mother earth should refuse to take his caruss home to her bosom again when he is dead. THAT ROOSXVELT DRINK. President is Not a Methodist and Therefore Does Not Stand in Danger-of Politicad Disaster. flarper's Weekly. Not being a Methodist, as Mr. Fairbanks is, President Roosevelt is apparently immune bo political dis aster as a consequence of being seen in company with intoxicaints or even imbibing them. At a public dinner at St. Louis on October 2, u'nterrified by Mr. Fairbanks exiperience, he drank champagne in ,The "all view of the assembled comnpainy, and, report says, to its satisfaction. It is no dif fieult feat to drink champagne and in itself no partieul'ar eredit to any body: but, all things eonsidered, it m:ay be argued to hiave been ratiher a useful exploit that Mr. Roosevelt ach ieved by emptying his glass. Spur geon, the grea~t preacher, fouind smok ing very useful to him. In 1S74, be in censured by some one for smok im:, lie said: "I demur altogether and most positively to the statement that t' smoke tobacco is wrong~. There is growing up ,in society a. phariaie~ system which adds to the precepts of God the .commandments of men. To thrat system I will -not yield for one hour. The pr:eserva.tion of my liber ty may bring upon me tLhe upbrai-d ings 6f ma-ny of the good and the sneers of ithe self-rig~hteous; but I shall epdure both with serenity, so long -as I feel clear in my conscience.'' In various parts of our country, and especially in that middle West, of which St. Louis is- near the center. there has grown up a pharisaie sys tem which 'not only adds ~to the pre cepts of 'God the comnmandments of men, but embodies them in legislative enactments, with penalties for viol;a tion of them. That the President should not knackle down to ifJhe pow erful influences t.hait would impose this system on unwilling voters, is to his credit. The most usetul example any man can set is 'the example of doing what he thinks is proper. A hypocritical example, or one exhibit ed from interested motives, has no value. The President's example as a ,very abstemious person in daily life is good. His example in drink ing champagne at St. Louis was also good. Taken In. The scholarly William E. Byerly. professor of ma.themptics at Har ard, was once asked by a student how to develop a retentive memory. The professor answered .that ordinary mental exercise was ~sufficient to se ure a good memory, whereat the student 'asked if he might test the mental capacity of his instructor. Prof. Byerly agreed, and tihe student asked him to listen 'to and remember sevra.l varied items for a test. He began: "Umu!'' said the professor.
