COTTON HBOWKRS. 1 Their Immed ate Duty i? to Crgan ze and Stick Together. i TIioy Should I'orlect Ijocal Organla* 1 1 ation in Ef?ry County in I the Cotton Belt. ( The following communication, which we take from the Progressive Farmer and Cotton Plant of Raleigh, N. 0., we commend to the consldcra atlon of our far men-: Messrs. Kiltor : Is the farmer a selfish, ooLcwiled being who thinks bo can go It alone, without the htlp of his neighbor*? No, 1 think that Is not the case.; I think the great arcay of farmers hare not yet considered what, a power In the land they world If In some way they could combite their strength avid act in concert. When N -hernlali oonceived the idea of rebudoing the ruined wall of Jcru Halom he did not undertake the re building alone. You re me in bar how he said, "C >me and led. us build up the wall of Jerusalem that we be no m ire a reproach;" and the pop1? gave 5*nsL wer, saying, "Lit uh ariso up aud build." So t.hey strengthened their hands for their good work. Thoy were laughed at by Sanbdlafc, Tobian and others, bub this laugh of scorn did not stop the work. Now I wish every cotton grower would lay this paper down, get the Book and read all about how the wall was rebuilt?not ooly cotton growers, but every other farmer also read about this great undertaking, that , you raay get the idea that It was the work of the Individual man helping his neighbor that was the power and < the strength and the success in the work. One other case 1 will call attention to. Do you remember the story you r< ad in the old school ho ik where th? mother bird came to the ne3t in tl el wheat Held to tind the Jit.t)e birds id excited because the farmer and hh sons were heard to say their neighbors would cut the wheat to-morrow? The wise tli bird said: "Birdies, you are safe; the wheat will not bo cut." Again, the next clay she found the little ones more excited. The farmer had been near to the nest and said ti his sons: "Our neighbors did not cone, but to morrow we will get out relatives to cut this wheat." Was tbewheat tut by the kin folks? No, but ween the little birds told the mother that the farmer had been ( ut the third time, and said: "My neighbors and re lallves have not come; I will cut the wheat myself,"?then the old bird said: "Children, we must move; the wheat will he cut." Farmer, you must be the man to organize a branch of the Cotton Growers Association In your neighborhood. Mr. Ilarvi \ Jordan, Mr. Cuningham nor any ot lcr man Is g< ing to do It for you; a id pray tell me why you should wait for any one? You see what nas already resulted from the awk ward, unwleldly, unmanaged aasocia tlon, so why do you not go lo your neighbors, tell them they must get tbeir shoulder to the wheel? Every time you see a farmer, spring this subject of organization at him?ask him if he thinks he can caddie alonir 1 alone when all the ocher industries are netting into line with the aim of bettering their conditions, and that only tne farmer is trying to "go it" alone. Dear reader, you are the man to do this starting. You are as much inter ested and will be as much benefited as any one, so why should yot wait to begin? Get right out and tackle the 1 lirst farmer you meet, tell him your 1 township will hold a meeting at a 1 certain place at a certain time, make I him promise to be thore, and promise 1 also to bring with him at least three i other men. Hurry up now and let \ North Carolina got into line with other cotton states. The cotton grow- ] era of North Carolina must organize fully this fall. We must be in shape to * keep ourselves Informed as to crop ( conditions, extent of crop, and fair price to receive for crop. Header, if you do not understand , this C >ttoo Growers' Association it , is time for you to wake up and learn ! about it. The quickest way for you ! to obtain this learning is to tals ] your neighbors into holding a meet ( ing, write to Secretary T. B. Parkeyr j for constitution of to vnshlp organiz ( ation, read this at your meeting and , elect otlioers at once. That's the way to do it, and you are the man to do it. Your wheat, won't', ho nut it ?, wm w ww vuu 11 JUU | wait for your neighbor. (J 0. Moo UK. Mecklenburg Co., IS. C.

The weather bureau in charge of Section Director Bauer Issued Wed uesday ihe tlnal crop report for the \*,ar as follows: The week ending Monday, Octobor 2nd, had & meat temperature about four degrees above normal In the central and western part sand about normal on the coast The extiemes were a maximum of W4 at Blackvllle on September 25th. and a minimum of 50 at Florence and Greenville on September 28th. There was considerable cloudiness over the eastern part, but almost continuous sunshine over the western parts. There were no high winds or other conditions that were damaging to crops or that interfered witn farm ' work. With the except1011 of trace of rain over the eastern half of the state, the week was without precipitation. The drouth has b< come Intensified over the central and western counties whe^e the /round is too hard and dry for fall plowing and seeding opera tions, and wher , In m iny localities, water is scaroe, with wells and small streams rapidly dryiug up. The weather conditions were entirely fav orable for ha\ Ina onpntinna an^ r?r gathering c >rn and cotton, There has beon no change In condition of oolton, except that there continues to be some premature opening. T o entire crop has opened uuususliy fa>t and picking will be Imishetl rar Iter than usual wl ,h continued favorable weather, . n a few localities there is a small t1.,' crop, but for the crop in geL.~rui a oil t>aiidy lands in par ticular, t <e b p crop is unimportant, and the occurence of either an early or a very late killing frost will not vary the yield materially. The average of the actual figures iron a fu 1 report on the percentage of the crop al ready picked, indicate that for the eastern division of the state 71 per cent, has been picked; in the central divisiou 70 per cent., and in the we*t ern divisiou 51) per cent.

A trag'c commentary on the Inevit able consequences of sin was furnished In the pre* of last week when a Q lil f #V' \T1 fnoi A/I * - - *-t I a oi'n wmto'cu luu?i:) r ui i/iiiiLy yeais ago took his own life at Sin Francisco, Gal , and left a note teliiug of his crime and of the punishment and execution of another man for the deed he had committed. Thirty vesrs ago ths human tiend had murdered a young girl and escaped detection. He saw another man condemned and executed and himself went scot free. lie went west, married and determined to forget the past and live a decent life, but the memory of his crime haunted hiu ; the constant fear of doteetiou, the ghostly thoughts of two souls sent into eternity by him torturtd his mind. Settlers from his old Ohio homo came to his new home, and for fear of detection he ran away to Death Valley In California, there to live in despair and isolation until his own doed caused him to raise his hand against nimself. This is as dramatic u picture of retribution and of the Inexorable operation of the moral law of compensation as has ever been seen. It might form the basis of a powerful tragedy ;for the stage or for fiction. It represents the steru decrees of fate that pursue the man who sins. There ,s no tscipo from it, no avenue of relief; nothing left but confession and a free conscience, nothing to do but to stand before oue's fellow-man, self confessed and In a true light, or oommit sul,.U1o 11 'J **' uiuu) onu ouivjiun fiu.i'1 weDSwr, "Is confession." Why, then, asks the Denver News, does not all of civihz ed mankind recognize this relentless deorce of fate ai d es;:ape the m-sery and remorse of an ignominious life and death by resisting sin? The question has never been fully answered It Is as old as Pharaoh and yet as young as the deeds of today. It Is as old as human nature, and the final answer will never be given until men are made over Again into a new life.

Gooding, Idaho's chiel executive, spoke enthusiastically ol the equal suffrage situation in Idaho. "Idaho is especially proud of the fact that we have equal suffrage in oui state," he said. "1 have alwajs been an ardent believer ir* equality at tbe ballot box. It was iny good fortune to be one of the oommmittee whc drafted tbe first resolution ever pre> seuted to tbe people of Idaho through tbe Republican party, favoring equal suffrage. As a result of those promises, tbe woni'Li of our state now enjoy tbe freedom of tbe ballot. Thle act of justice has been greatly ap predated by the good women of Idaho, who have shown their appreciation by the active interost tbey havi taken In public /.ffnirs. Equal suffrage lias clone a great doM to .mprove political conditions in Ihaho. Today nc party dares nominate a man for cfllte whore character is not clean, and who has not shown bis appreciation of tbr home. There are many other good things that ?might be said of equal suffrage. Rut this, if its.elf,lt secm? to me, Is sufficient to commend it tc all good citizens." This Is tbe testimony of a man who has soen womao suffrage tried. If woman suffrage it such a good thing out In Idaho, wh> would it not be.a good tiling for South l a :n) no '> vm(. vi un "Outi AK' on8 Corruntion." J lUforring to ''life Insurance abuB es" the St. Louia G1 bo-Democrat, b r publican paper, fcays: Every dollar of life insurance profits improperly turned Into the p ickets ol in ivicuala, or secretly placed to lr.< il enoe sei fifth legislation, is a species or ouirageous c nruption, a robbery oi the many for tliw rapacious few. The t<me to apply the remedy is at the moment of detection, and no one hat a right to complain if the cure is store in itsmature. Thi.t being true, says the Common er, what will the Glebe-Democrat say v/itii r spect to the suggestion that tiro rrpubllonn national committee "put it back?" The insurance Inquiry ditclosed that one insurance company has contributed 8150,000 to tuc repub lican national campaign fund during the last three presldental campaigns. Tson ihme y belonged to the policyholders, and was contributed without their consent. According to the GlobeDemocrat, these contributions to the republican campaign fund amount to "a species of autragcous corruption, a robbery of the many for the rapacious few." Of course, putting it back would bo a cure "stern in Its nature" but, in the language of the GlobeDemocrat "the time to apply the remedy is at the moment of detection." One remedy la to provide publicity for all contributions to political funds, and the prohibition of such contributions by corporations, hub "at the moment of detection" the ttrst remedy is "put it back." A V?ry F*in?li*r Sound. In his testimony in the insurance investigation now in progress in New York, President McCvll of .the New York Life Insurance company, referred to his campaign contribution to the republican committee in 1890 and said: "I felt that if free silver In the country was approved, and that if Bryan were elected president, we might as well close up the shutters on the New York Life Iu urance com pany's doors. Knowing that, and believing it, in 189G I consented to a payment to defeat free silver?not to defeat the demccratio party, but to defeat tbis free silver heresy, and I thank God that I did it."
