When you see a person barking at and abusing those posse3ed of in-! fluence, you may know that like a dog at the foot of a tree, he barks because he can't climb. Many men are too lazy to woik and to beg they are ashamed, and of course they must steal either under the shadow of the law or under the shadow of the night, or just simply graft on to something. We are not going to try tell you any big sight more about how to make cbttou. You already make more cotton than you have sense to sell right, that's the reason why yju are so darned poor and the other fellow that knows so much about how to buy cotton is so allfired rich. A good weeder or harrow in the hands of the right men and run about a week just at the right time over young corn and cotton, the machine will pay for itself once over each week in use. You can't afford to use the hand here where the horse hoe can be made do the work. The Only Way To Succeed. When you leave out from home to attend a Farmers' Union meeting pull off the old selfish cloak of vonrs and hang it on the gate post until you return from the meeting. The distinctive difference in a ' onion or co-operative meeting aud yourself is this: when you join in with your neighbor to do anything for the good of all, your whole body and soul is all built into I V?r?

Blacklisting Fertilizers. Jl About the ouly way to keep farm- 1 era1 organizations from blacklisting 1 fertilizers that fall below grade, is 1 for fertilizers makers to keep the * grade of their goods on the safe side * of the dead line! I When farmers kuow more about what the real stuff iu fertilizer sacks is made of, aiid that the original source of the phosphoric acid and potash comes from the soil beneath their feet, and the nitrogen, the most costly iugredieut is obtained from the air about them and above their neads, the mysterious magic powers of the stuff iu these crocus fertilizer sacks will depart from their minds and the scales will fall from their eyes Theu they will be ready to develop these same mineral manures in their owu soils by deep plowing and winter freezing and haul down from the air above all the nitrogen or ammonia they need through cow pea crops, then manipulate the whole homespuu fertilizers through the medium of feeding farm stock and cultivating the soil with improved farm implements. Government Cotton ReportsI have about the same coutempt for the crop reporter as I wou Id have for the suspicious character who ' would saunter around iny premises 1 inquiring nbout where we keep that old sock leg that is sometimes more or less (oftener less) full of money. If a man comes our way wanting ' a pig or cow, it is no part of our business to luquire about how big a crop of money the fellow has the first thing?like cotton buyers do? i so as to strain our scruples in the matter in an effort to pull him ; according tc the crop of money hej has regardless of the worth of the! pi?! Keliable crop reports gotten up by farmers' organizations may be used i lo advantage of farmers in makiug 3 prices. But I have never known au? one save speculators to work government crop reports to their interest. And worst ot it is that producers largely pay for the information in this matter tiiat is used solely for the knowledge it gives as tc how best to manipulate plans to rob the producer who has furnished the voluntary information as to where' his unguarded money bag is hidden Newspaper Theft. We do not mean stealing a newspaper; for that has become so common that it may be put down as a rir?Ul manp nunnta rpcrfll'd JH i - -D ? their own and one against which no protest can be made. To make pro- j tests do not amount to anything, and if there is any law by which these thieves may be reached, it has: never been written. There i3 the rogue who will take a newspaper for which he has subscribed and for which he promised to pay, just as long as it is sent to him. He and his family enjoy reading it ever so much, and could not afford to do without it, but just' so soou as a vigorous effort is made to collect the subscription, he quietly informs the postmaster that he does j not want the paper any longer and, to notify the publisher to that effect, i Not one word is said about paying for it, and no amount of writing ever elicits a reply from him. How ' .1 , 1 L ll,:. I a uare any oue ueii > ui?l una ui?u 10 ; a thief? He has stolen every cent' doe that paper, and in the sight of high heaven, he is a thief. Another subscriber takes tne paper until he is pressed to pay, and, then, he lies about it. He will swear that he never received it, and when it did come he never read it, and he dia not care for it any way. He tried , his best to get it discontinued, and : he could not get the thing stopped 1 to save his life. Moreoyer, the; paper is no account, and he is not joing to pay for it. The facts are just the opposite. lie got the paper ill the time, read it with interest, i1 ind dec bred that it was an excellent11 laper.

I] And yet, again, there is the sub-|( criber who takes a paper year in,, md year out, and no appeal ever; noves hint. He just goes ou mak- , ng promises to pay, and he never j )ays a cent. We confess that this ] ;ellow bewilders us We know not low to characterize him. We prefer eaving him for the present.

This fellow is a very i jontemptible kind of a newspaper ; hiwf. His stealing is double. He iteals from the subscriber, and from I ;he publisher also. His cheek is nonumental. He invariably reads ;he paper before the owner ever has m opportunity to see it. But what about the newspaper nan who steals from his brother? \nd it was of this fellow that we ntended writing when we began this saper.

WOULDN'T TAKE A DRINK Refusal of Carolina Gorernors to Mainfain Record of Predecessors. The New York Herald printed Tuesday in a most prominent position, and with flaring headlines, the following special from New Haven, Conn: Members of Connecticut's official party at opening of the Jamestown exposition are telling of an episode in which Govrenor R S Woodruff of Connecticut, and the Governors of North Carolina and South Carolina were figures. The three met at Governor Claud A Swanson's reception on Thursday evening in the Virginia building. The Carolinia Governors had never met, and Connecticut's Governor, upon | learning that fact, brought them together, Governor Ansel of South Carolina and Governor Glenn of North Carolina, clasp ! ed hands warmly, and while | they were expressing mutual gratification over the meeting Governor Woodruff stood expectantly. He remarked as they were about to separate: "And now, gentlemen, I pre- ' iume I shall have the pleasure ! of hearing a repetition of the famous remarks of the Governor Df North Carolina to the Gov j ?rnorof South Carolina/' Governor Ansel responded at once: "Your excellency, as lam a, prohibition governor and a ter totaler, I cannot make it sin cerely.'* And to the amazement of Governor Woodruff and Governor Ansel, as well, the other Caro- I linian added: "Being- a prohibitionist my- j self I, too, must suffer the re-j mark, at least literally, to remain a matter of history*'1 THE NEW YORK WORLD THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION Wherever (he Ensli.?h l.ansnitse U Sjtoker.
