The Making UP of Good Men,

about our good qualitits and success.'
Our enemies are useful to tell of I;

failures.

character as we are building the <
man of manhood, and thev develop i
the flaws and weak places that we
may. with aid of our friends,
streugthen our weak" places.
In the development and training
of Our leaders in the Farmers' Union
both enemies and friends are useful. <
Because you are a member of a
strong Farmers' Union, whose mem
bers are of the strongest, don't fool 1
yourself into doing some dirty trick, (
thinking your Union will uphold <
you in it?they should not and will ,
not do it. 1 ! i
If the late frost in April killed ,
out the potato bug, would it take (
something like a freeze in June to j
kill off the two-legged humbugs? (
The reason why we don't have ^
more to say about growing crops is ^
because farmers are ahead on the ,
knowledge of how to produce good j
crops, but miserably behind on the ^
knowledge of how to market their ,
products. '
<' * (1
We all can understand why au
over-production of perishable crops
invariably terminates in loss to pro- *
oucerj. But in the case of cotton c
an imperishable article and one of the
best collaterals, and a current 1
article of trade the world over, 1
U should not suffer depreciation in r
Talue if producers have warehouse, facilities
for storing tbeir cotton.
Instead of reasonably large crops 1
(? cotton bringing less money to pio?ducers,
as has been the case hereto- }
fore, it is oue of the prime objects 0
of the Farmers' Union in the South a
to now handle the selliug and of 1
their crops by protecting themselves ^
with a strong system of warehouses
that will insure cotton growers
against ih<> unreasonable practice of a
getting less nnney tor good crops e
than we have been getting for poor t
<5rop3. f
s
Be Humble and Thankful. r
Just because the Farmers' Union is e
uow very strong and powerful, its e
members must not act the i'ool try- li
iog to ruin necessary occupation t
just simply because some member a
has a grudge against some one a
engaged in that business. a
Instead of being haughty and t
tyrannical over this your fourth
round in winning out on your own I
jprices for cotiou, you should be s
-humble and thankful to the God of 1
equity tor your deliverance out of n
l 1 i L I _ 1 . l
v;ue wuuerness uramoies anu morns
tha! you have been waideriig and
struggling through for over forty
years.
Remember the mistake that Moses
made in his manner of tapping the
rock for water for his people just
when he was in sight of the Promised
L?and and th* penalty he paid for
this mistake in not being allowed
the pleasure and privilege of enter
lag this land of peace and plenty
he had wandered so long to possess.
Farmers' be humble and conscious
that you and your organizations may
live to see our lovely Southland restored
to its original greatness and
peace and plenty, that all its people
may enjoy the fruits of the good
work of other Farmers' Union
Tbe Circulating Country Peddler and
Agent.
i i?.' r * I
Aoout mis nine or year tneji
country is usually infested with aU
roving herd of peddlers and travel -'
ing agents, many of which are as|f
unscrupulous according to their!
calicre as the wo^t cotton exchange i
or Wall street gutnbler. Perhaps j j
the most numerous class of these '
.ac-amps are the peddlers that deal: ]
?at to tile siinp'c ni:nded, i.jnoru: t
;lass of people many varieties of
. heap articles of merchandise ut ?n
ilvance of over double the pi ice
:liat as cool or better articles emld
3e had in nearby stores or at the
places Where the articles are made.
But the slicke?t duck of the whole
?a?Lr and the one whose l'ascalitv is
J C V
best protected and covered up and for
the longest period um'ettcted. is
the unscrupulous Frait Tr e Agent-.
The farmer who has been caught a
us a victim of a common cheap
peddler will get over this spell about *
as quick as he would an ordinary!
bad cold or can get in contact with ?
a bright neighbor. But if some of ^
our brighter class of farmers haTe ^
caught a case of fruit tree agent I
malady fruin an unscrupulous agent
he is in it for a siege of from three'1
to ten years befose he can recover. 11
We have before us positive evidence e
to establish the fact that some of e
our best farmers have bought and 8
paid for?supposed to be and some n
few were?of best varieties of apples *
and other fruit trees. Aud after 1
planting them in their best soil and ^
cultivating some of them for ten
years4 and all the while dreaming p

confiding farmer v?ho has labored =
?or ten years in good faith, reaches n
)ut and gather a little seedling apple I
aot larger than a hickory nut that
:astes like the bark of the tree. One
farmer that bought onlv one
fl
'extremely rare cherry tree'* at a1
ligh price is now paying the penalty!
'or his tolly by seeing a tine crop of

Dear Sir: After our convention gi
I lireenville, where 1 saw so much $]
nthusiasm and determination en pt
he part of the representatives, 1 n<
eel very hopeful for the future:o
uccess of our Union. While ij
eulize that conventions and confer- tl
nces are worthless unless their reommendations
are carried out, unrss
the representatives go home to i
heir subs and explain the intentions t
nd purposes of their deliberations \
,nd thereby enthuse their members A
nd get them to think and act along ^
he lines mapped out.
I think I s^e lasting good for us ^
>v meeting together at Greenville, ^
o let's go to work as we never done
before?intelligently, systematically us
md persistently?to upbuild and w
levate the Farmers' Union to a ea
jiane where it will command the bj
esi>eet of the business world and, be
ifter doiug this, prove our faith by pi
>ur works and make 110 demands m
;hat are not just, but show to every wi
cgiuuiaic uuoiijcbs iunt ?c jcojjctw
;heir lights and demand that they
espeet ours. ^
With the fight which we ha\e jefore
us, with graft and greed
vhich has been and is, without oue
restige of remorse,stealing from as the
ust rewards of our labor, it would
te well for us to remember that, to
he strong the'battle, to the victor
,he spoil, to the swift the race and
o the devil the hind-mo^t; so it
>ehooves us to be up and doing
ihowing to each individual member j
vhat his duty as a union man is?
hat he is one cog in the wheel of
Jnionism, and that in failing to per-'
'orm his part he impeles.the prop-ess
of the whole machinery.
Let us place men in the offices who
ill the measure of a man to the
fullest extent. Men whose honor,
noney cannot buy nor politic?
oollute?not men who place them
jelves on parade like a peacock in
Vlay and wh<n the show is over!
