now, but will be able to hold it, which its
enhanced value by conversion into yarns
will enable them to do, would effectually
prevent that gambling in cotton by which
the spectators put down the prices when
the farmers are obliged to sell and put
them up after they have sold it, thus caus-
ing the farmers of the cotton States to lose
millions of dollars every year.
But our correspondent is troubled at
the apparent slow progress in manufactu-
ring cotton. In this connection, as an ev-
idence of the economy of the ''new pro-
cess" we state this important fact: In the
''old process" factories the capacity of a
card is from 40 to IS pounds of silver per
day; by the ''new process" the capacity
of the same card is from IS5 to 200 pounds
of silver per day.
Suppose it takes whole year to con-
vert a given amount of cotton into yarns,
does it not take almost as much time to
produce the cotton and get it ready for
market? But the difference is this To
produce the cotton, the farmer himself
does the work, or overlooks it personally,
and bears all the expense Of its produc-
ton, its preparation for market, ETC., and
transportation to the distant factory, for
which he realizes say nine or ten cents
per pound To convert this cotton into
yarns by the ''new process takes say
twelve months. but the labor is performed
by others-if the farmers own the factory,
as they should be, these agents and ope-
ratives would be under their control-and
all the expense attending its conversion
into yarns is paid for by the money which
the farmers save from being relieved of all
the expense of ginning and baling the cot
ton and getting it to the distant factory
in the raw form. When the farmers sell
their cotton as yarns, they realize net
profit fully equal to what they formerly
received for the raw article. Does any
other legitimate business in the country
pay better?

We continue to receive letters from
members of the Order in different parts of
the State warmly endorsing the position
ofTHE PATRON in urging the farmers to
unite and organize and send their best
men to the Legislature. To these and all
other farmers who appreciate the necessi
ty of the Legislature being made for once
truly representative body, we most
earnestly appeal to go to work at once
and take steps to secure complete and
efficient organization in their respective
election beats. There is no time to lose.
The town rings are hard at work, and
will succeed in packing the county con-
ventions as they have SO often done before,
unless the farmers, the true men of every
neighborhood, take the matter of organi-
zation in hand at once.

The.reading, thinking members of the
Order in the Southwest are taking a more
active interest in THE PATRON than at any
former time. They are raising clubs for
it from the orange groves of South Florida
and the mountains of East Tennessee to
North Arkansas and the prairies of West
Texas. No paper in the South occupies
SO extended field, and none has more
leading men of the farmer class working
to extend its circulation. The indications
now are that the circulation of THE PA
TRoN will soon be larger than that of any
political or agricultural paper published
in the South. We hope to present such
a journal as will fully meet the demands
and expectations of its co-workers in the
good cause.

lily near Germantown, where he has since resided
Here he began life farmer, and under the
guidance of his mother, lady of remarkable in
teectual powers and an energy that untir-
ing he was very successful. He soon acquired
high position in the confidence and esteem of all
with whom he was associated, and elected
Magistrate, an office of considerable Importance
in Tennessee, the County Court being composed
of the Magistrates of the various districts. This
office he has filled worthily for the last eighteen
years. For some time past, he has been anxious
to withdraw from this position, but his eminent
fitness for has caused earnest protest against
this that, against his will, he has continued to
serve He would doubtless have been elected to
the State Senate last fall, but his health was so
impaired by an attack of the fever, that he de-
cned to be candidate.
The great modestyan unassuming manners of
Judge Walker would prevent a stranger from esti-
mating his true worth; but those who know him
we'll, especially in his official character, honor
him as one of the truest, noblest, worthiest and
most capable. Cool, deliberate, cautious-clear
sighted, and taking the most common sense, un-
BIASED and unprejudiced view of question, he is
peculiarly fitted to perform the judicial functions.
1t is his clear vision, his apprehension of affairs,
and his practical solution of them, that win for his
opinions and his judgments the most respectful
consideration.
The leading characteristic of Judge Walker is
Prudence; yet he has been no time-server
trimmer, but for many years of his life op
posed and msrepresented by popular opinion,
until the development of events proved the wis
dom of his views and he has had the good
fortune to outlive detraction, and reap the
wards due an incorruptible and unhinching spirit.
Prudent, cautious in all matters, determined
never yielding inch for what he believed to be
right and for the best, he has recorded, in deeds
that the people of Shelby county will not soon
forget and which speak more loudly than words,
the evidence of an unselfsh, courageoes patriot.
Judge Walker is full of deep and tender
sympathies, especially for the young, and has a
keen perception of genuine worth.
During the prevalence of the terrible scourge
| last year, he was the first in Germantown to be
stricken down. and for weeks his life was despaired
lsof When he recovered after weeks of delirium
it was to learn that his venerable mother lovely
niece and number of his most intimate and de-
voted friends. had passed away.

All intelligent farmers in the State
know that their interests have suffered be-
cause their class had no representation in
Congress, and would rejoice to see Worthy
Master Darden elected to the u S. Sen
ate, but they understand so little of the
work of organizing, that they are dispos-
ed to stand still and wait for others to act.
We beg them to remember that the most
important service they can render their
class, their families and themselves. in
public affairs is in attending the prelimi-
nary meetings in the election beats. There
they can discuss the questions that are
likely tc arise and the fitness of candidates
and by doing this, they will be able to
have their sentiments and wishes repect-
ed and obeyed in the county conventions;
there they can determine whether an hon
est, true farmer and patriot or some tenth
rate political trickster shall represent the
State in the United States Senate.
We ask farmers when they organize in
election beats to notify us, that we may
publish the fact. The farmers of every
election beat in the State should be or
ganized before the first of July.

When the Order of Patrons of Husbandry was

When the Order of Patrons of Husbandry was
established in the South, Judge Walker was one
of the first to enlist under its banner and he has
continued one of its firmest, most devoted adhe
rents. Germantown Grange, of which he was
elected Master, was among the first organized in
Tennessee. He represented Shelby county in
the State Grange during three of its annual meet
ings-at Humboldt Knoxville and Jackson-of
which he was an active. efficient and influential
member. In January, 1873, he was elected Mas
ter of Shelby County Grange, and performed
the duties of that Office with characteristic zeal
and fidelity.
In every position in the Grange to which he
has been called, Judge Walker has worked ear
nestly and faithfully for the cause He has al

THE PATRON" IN TENNESSEE.

A Patron in West Tennessee writes us:
81 am exceedingly pleased with the new
heading of THE PATRON. 1t is handsome
and very appropriate, and SO well ex-
presses the great objects of our Order and
what it may and should accomplish in the
Cotton States, that the simple exhibition
Of copy of the paper in Grange ought
to be sufficient to induce every member
to subscribe.
II am reioiced at the action of the Exec.
cutive Committee of the Arkansas State
Grange in adopting The PATRON as the
Grange organ for that State, in place of
the journal of Agriculture of St. Louis.
This is what the Executive Committee of
our State Grange should have done. /
feel sure that its adopting even indirectly
the journal Of agriculture will be and
should be condemned. That paper is in
no sense Grange journal, and a Patron
subscribing for it with the expectation of
getting Grange paper will be disappoint-
ed. To catch the Grange patronage, it
devotes page, and an obscure one at that,
to the letters, ETC., of Grange officials. 1t
does not advocate prominently, if at all, in
its editorial columns, the principles and
measures of the Grange. What the Order
needs and must nave is an d0O0Cdle, open,
fearless, able and active, of its principles,
its measures, and its representative men.
1t must be wholly and exclusively devoted
to the Grange. Every attempt to adopt
political or agricultural paper as Grange
organ by the officers of a State Grange,
will result in disappointment to the mem
bers and direct injury to the cause. This
experiment has been tried so often, and
the failure in each instance was SO con-
spicuous, that l. for one, was very much
disgusted with the action of our State Ex-
ecutive Committee in its arrangement with
the ST Louis paper.
81 would suggest to you to send a spec
linen copy of THE PATRON to each Mas
ter of the Subordinate Oranges in this
State. and l think its evident superiority
as Grange paper will commend it so
strongly to the confidence and good will
of the members that hundreds will be-
come subscribers, and that our Executive
Committee will be induced to take ac-
ton similar to that taken by the Executive
Committee of the Arkansas State
Grange"
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1879-05-31

We add a feature to THE PATRON this
week-the publication of biographical
sketches, accompanied by portraits, of
leading members of the Order in the
SOuthwest-which, we think, will greatly
enhance the value and attractiveness of
the paper. The next will be that of
Worthy Overseer Rose, of the Texas
State Grange. We expect soon to pre-
sent a sketch and portrait each week.

"THE PATRON AND IT'S ACTIVE
FRIENDS.

Clubs of subscribers are coming in
quite freely-indicating, we think, gen
eral and vigorous movement all along the
line. Most of these working friends who
are sending clubs have been reading The
PATRON for years and know what it is:
that it is the strongest, staunchest Grange
paper in the South. Most of them prom
ise large additions to their clubs.

ways considered the Grange the farmers sole
hope, and has made numberless speeches to con-
vince them of it--speeches full of the soundest
common sense and timely, practical advice He
has been somewhat impatient at the slow growth
of the Order, or rather the temporary retardation
of it, but we hope in its general revival that
he will see his section advancing to prosperity
through its agency, and his principles in practical
operation than which nothing would be more
gratifying to him.
