Looks That Way to Me.
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

mere part of what it took to make J
this giant man, who is so powerful *
that little selfish fellows and other 1
giants of smaller breeds aud of less 1
import must get out of your way. j
These great giants that grow on the '
farmsare popping up all over the :
South very fast and growing big and 1
and fast like corn on rich soil after (
a good shower in June.
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.

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. To be sure, it was far better;
hau such a fellow as he can ever be.,

ind a thief? Press him a little, ami;<
le will stind convicted by the words ' (
if his own mouth. 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.
And there is the thief who picks <
ip his neighbor's paper, walks out
vith it, and the owner never knows ]
* hither it went. When he can not
jet it this way, he will pretend to <
x>rrow it. 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. Last week, *e saw an editorial
u an exchange which the Journal
dipped from another paper, a week
>r more ago, and gave credit for the

Little or evidence that it was the
property of another. The only com- j
ment we shall make on this is, the j
aforesaid editor must most assuredly i
be "Working with a heavy heart."?

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
