last crop and yon will see how
steady prices tor real cotton have
stood up to the farmers' prices reguardless
of prices for futures set
by New York cotton exchange.
Who done it if cotton farmers did
not do it? Every organized farmer
ought to feel good over this victory
and step about high with his head
up and a stiff straight back.

The man who runs a home spun
gnano factory on his own farm and
has plenty home-grown toou stuns
all around him is not losing mnch
sleep about now over the evil doings
of cotton exchanges and fertilizer
trusts.
Walking over a field of oats on
the first of April we noticed a streak
of oats at intervals that was upon
an average about twenty-two inches
tall, while the oats on each side
were about 14 inches tall. This
, difference was made by allowing the
rows of hay to lay on the lands daring
two weeks' rain, which washed
unt mnqkof the substance of the
vines before the hay got dry enough
to rake in cocks.

The social feature of the Farmers1
Union of course is broad and union
like. Bring in all denominations
of church and the old common sinner
of no creed all together for good
of all and useful to all that come
together iu union.
You all know that if you invest
in a farm tool and lay the thing to
one side that weeds will grow up all
over it and your implement will
soon rust and rot and your investment
will be lost if don't put the
tool into profitable use! So it is j
with farmers' organizations, yon
must come together, join in to do
things for the good of all and keep
at it.
"Meetme"at Greenville, where
yon will see and hear something in
the way of protection to the interests
of all members that will open
both hearts and eyes for good to the
farming fraternity and of special
interest to Farmers Uniou men.
Whilst the invitation has been
made in a way obligatory to all busi
ness agents, either local or county,
yet a special invitation is extended
to all lively Farmers' Union men to
meet us in Greenville. You will be
more than welcome to this meeting
as we are expecting to meet quite a
lot of warm members there that are
* ?v v
doing something more than talking.

Little Thoughts od Big Themes j
Experience is the germ of
power.
The problem of civilization is
to eliminate the parasite.
It is qualities that make a
man great, and not knowledge.
Calm, patient, persistent pressure
wins. Violence is transient. (
The man who consumes and ,
wastes and does not produce is 1
a burden like the grasshopper. 1
A workingman thrives best !
considering and working for the ,
best interests of his employer.

Sat that nobody has had time to be
unhappy in. I was living in such
a flat once when suddenly I took a
notion that nothing would do me
but a studio in Washington square.
You know, there are some of the
oldest sort of houses down there?
houses that have been lived in and
lived in, that people have laughed in
Bometimes, of course, but that are
full of the echoes of sobs.
"You don't believe that, do you?
Well, wait till I tell you. I found
what I-thought was the thing to
suit me for life. I concluded to
itay there forever. Never to move
out of that studio in Washington
jquare. You never saw a more beautiful
view from the three windows
overlooking the park. Delicate
twigs, almost like shadows of twigs,
blue skies, fleecy clouds and birds
in the trees singing. Besides, there
was an open grate for a fire. If I
bad nothing to eat I concluded that
there should always be a fire in that
jrate.
"But I moved in on a rainy day.
The'rain lashed the window panes.
Some twigs struck at them like
knuckles. It was dusk when I got
my things straightened about a little
and sat down to rest by the open
fire. The maid threw on an extra
little log for luck and went out.
Except for the flicker of the fireLight
the Foom was dark. The
light from the fire accentuated the
darkness. It left deep shadows in
the corners.
"At first I thought the sobs and
moans were the rain outside, but
srhen the rain died down the 3ighs

fright before I got up sufficient
courage to ri^e and lock it. All
aight long I seemed to hear sighs
md whispers.
"I stayed there a month before I
isked what the matter was. I l>ecame
a nervous wreck. The moment
dusk came I lighted ever}* gas
jet, every candle. I was afraid to
50 to bed. My bed seemed surrounded
by invisible creatures, who
jighed and sobbed. Finally I went
to the owner.
"'Who lived in these rooms before
I did ?' I asked him.
" 'A doctor,' he answered. 'He
ivas also a surgeon. He lived here
Mteen years.'
"For fifteen years! Patients
coming and going, telling their tales J
)f woe, sobbing, moaning, sighing,
grieving! No wonder the walls held
the memories of their sufferings,
aad kept their sighs and their sobs!
