We have before alluded to an organiza-
planters in this State, Louisiana, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee, styling itself the Miss
issippi Valley Cotton Planters Associa-
ton, and expressed the opinion that one
of its leading objects would be the intro
duction of Chinese laborers. We now see
it announced that this Association has
opened negotiations with the Six Compa-
nies of San Francisco for the purpose of
securing these laborers in large numbers.
The policy now proposed to be adopt
ed by this Association is similar to that of
the commission merchants and large plan
ters of New Orleans and Louisiana, who,
Immediately after the war, brought out
immense numbers of negroes from Vir
ginia and the Carolinas. This infamous
policy was not only ruinous TO the people
of Louisiana as it affected their industrial
interests, but by swelling the negro vote
enabled the carpet-baggers to gain com
plete control of the State government
The result of this rule in louisiana is too
fresh in the minds of our readers to re-
quire repitition. Will the people of these
States quietly submit to an inundation Of
Chinese laborers, who carry with them
wherever they go crimes and diseases that
make their presence infinitely more dan
gerous and repulsive tnan 49, oe sbe

This so-called Cotton Planters Associa-
ton is dangerous, unpatriotic organiza-
ton, and bodies no good to the white farm
er of this section. But it will be power
full in business, industrial and political af-
fairs. There will be no lack of money to
carry out its purposes. Already it is an
nounced that paper is to be established
at Vicksburg in its interests and it will be
literally sustained.
We suggest to the more intelligent
members of the Order to keep their eyes
on this new organization, and to keep their
members fully advised of its purposes.
No greater curse could befal the farm
ers Of the Mississippi Valley than the in
PRODUCTION of the Chinese.

We do not think this the proper time
for agitating the question of the u. S.
Senatorship, but since our contemporaries
in various portions of the State are sug-
gesting the names of suitable persons, as
the successor of Bruce, we propose the
name of Capt. Put Darden, of Jefferson,
field. He is a gentleman of fine appear
ance, and scholarly attainments; true
democrat and thoroughly identified with
the agricultural interests of Mississippi
He would make us Senator of which
any Mississippian might justly feel proud
-CAickaSa7V Messenger.
The Southern Live Stock Journal was
the first paper in the State to mention the
name of Capt. Put. Darden with favor for
the u. S. Senate. THE PATRON OF HUs-
BANDRY, Houston Patriot and Chickasaw
Messenger have since declared in favor of
Capt Darden.--lWe- -eandidly believe that
gentleman, as u. S. Senator, would be
more acceptable to the farmers of Miss
issippi than any other parsonage that
could be named, and therefore we intend
to urge his claims for the high position
mentioned.-SouthernL Live Stock Journal

thy Master Darden is plain and simple.
The farmers have but to turn out at the
beat meetings and select their best men
as delegates to the county conventions.
The conventions, composed of a majority
of these delegates, could nominate good
and true men as candidates for both
branches of the Legislature. The whole
matter will be decided by the county con-
ventions, and the great object of the farm
ers should be to prevent the packing OF
the conventions by the town rings.

tion helpless and hopeless that of the serfs of
Russia. When the Rochdale cooperative bust
ness system was first recommended to the farmers
of the country by the National Grange, Bro. Rose
after thorough examination of the principles of
the system, became an earnest advocate of its
adoption by the Oranges and farmers of Texas.
His efforts in this direction have been very sue
cessful. Among the best cooperative stores in
the country are at Salado and other points in
Bell and adjoining counties, which he was mainly
instrumental in establishing. He was also one of
the leading spirits in the movement to establish
the Texas State Cooperative Association. This
Association has established State Agency at
Galveston, which is now in successful operation
and doing great work for the farmers of Texas

county, North Carolina Sept. 3, 1890, being the
eldest of five children. His parents moved the
next year to Missouri, settling finally in Macon
county After the death of his father, he worked
faithfully several years to support and educate
the Younger members of the family. In IS4o in
company with two others, he went to California
across the plains, making the trip, which was
full of adventure, in hundred and thirty two
days. He was quite successful in California, and
returned to his home in Missouri in 1853, where
he purchased good farm. In 1854, he married
Miss Sarah Ann Austin, and in 1857 moved to
Travis county, Texas. He resided in Travis
and San Saba counties till 1868, but the
lack of educational facilities in the latter county
a. that time induced him to locate at Salado, Bell
county, his present place of residence, where he
could educate his children, and pursue his farming
operations profitably.
Bro. Rose became Mason in 1861, and has
held various positions from Junior Deacon to Dis
trict Deputy Grand Master and High Priest Of the
Chapter at Salado-the latter position he still
occupies He united with the Baptist Church in
1865, of which he has since been a Jealous, con-
sistent member.
In 1873, Bro. Rose became Patron of Hus-
TIC vi at ''A'
the first organized on Texas soil. In December
of that year he was elected Master, and held that
office until last year, when he was relieved at his
own request. AS Master of his Subordinate
Grange, he was earnest and faithful in the dis
charge of every duty pertaining to the position
He represented Salado Grange at the first ses
sion of the State Grange held at Dallas, in April,
1874, at which time he appointed Deputy of
his Senatorial District, and at once engaged ac-
lively and zealousy in the discharge of his duties.
At the meeting of the State Grange at Dallas,
in 1875, he was elected Lecturer, and visited
nearly all points in the State in 1916. At the
meeting at Tyler, January, 1877, he was elected
! Overseer, and reelected at the meeting at
Sherman in January last.
! In all the positions which Bro. Rose has filled
in the Order, he has discharged their duties with
conspicuous zeal and ability, and with enthusi-
asm that impaired new life and hope to ukewarm
Oranges and respondent members wherever he
went.
Bro. Rose early saw that the Grange could not
be made permanent success unless the farmers
! could be rescued from the thraldom of the mer-
chants business system, which, more than any
other power or cause was loading them with bur
dens which were fast bringing them to condi-

But Bro. Rose has not confined himself to the
advocacy of cooperation in business alone: he
has given much of his attention to the establish
ment of schools and to manufacturing enterprises,
which will yet have powerful influence in ele-
waiting the farmers and developing the resources
of his section He has given his children that
are old enough finished educations, and has been
the friend of schools for the benefit of the children
of his brother farmers.
A brother Patron of Bell county-W orthy
Master W. F. Moore-to whom we are indebted
for the facts in this sketch, writes "Bro. Rose
has always been a man of action and of peace.
He has never offered himself for a political
Office, believing that man should stand upon his
own merits. He has never had law suit; but has
made determined war upon the use oftobacco and
whiskey. In his great work in the Grange and
in the education of his children, Bro Rose has
had the earnest cooperation of his wife, who de-
serves place by his side in all the honors that
grateful people may bestow upon him."
The Patrons of Texas may we'll be proud of a
leader who unites with capacity for public affairs
the unsefshness of the patriot, the yea, of the
former, and the sterling worth of the Christian
gentleman.

The movement among the farmers in
this State to secure the election of far
mer to the U. S. Senate by the legislature
to be chosen next fall, is rapidly taking
shape, and Worthy Master Put. Darden
seems to be the general favorite. This
work should be done in the election
beats; and as the county conventions are
now being held, the farmers in those
counties still to hold conventions should
bestir themselves and turn out in full force
at the beat meetings. The election of
Worthy Master Darden to the. United
States Senate would be of incalculable
benefit to the Order throughout the entire
Union. The farmers of other States
would be encouraged to unite and organ
ize for the special purpose of electing
good and true farmers to both houses of
Congress, and their voice would soon be
potent in the Legislative halls of the coun-
try.

A. J. ROSE, OVERSEER OF THE TEXAS
STATE GRANGE.

When man becomes identified with popular
movement that has for its object the elevation and
advancement of class, and distinguishes himself
in its service, there is naturally general desire to
know his personal history. And there is no one
whose public and private character will bear closer
scrutiny than that of the subject of this sketch,
whose portrait embelishes this page of THE PA
TRON. r.-
A. ]. Rose is plain, unassuming farmer, with
out the advantages OF early education, or those
snowy qualities which seem almost necessary to
attract public attention, and it is strong proof
of his sterling worth that he has his way

The farmers of the country ought to SUBJ
nit to the burdens and expressions of the
merchants business system no longer than
they can adopt measures to transact their
business on the cooperative plan. They
will act in this matter as fast as their igno-
rance is removed Few farmers compar-
atively understand how they are robbed
and oppressed by the merchants system.
They see immense numbers of young men
in stores, and warehouses, etc, perform
ing light duties, but they do not know
that these are supported in their lives of
comparative ease and luxury by the labor
of the toiling masses. The business of the
country under the old system employs too
many agents. Two thirds of the stores
should be converted into manufacturing
establishments of various kinds, and the
thousands of boys and young men now
employed in these stores driven to the
field, the workshop, and the factory.

The letter from Worthy Master Darden
was written specially for Deputy Lectu-
rers in this State, but it will be found
interesting to Patrons everywhere.
In personal note accompanying the
letter, the Worthy Master says:

Many of the most intelligent Patrons
of the South appreciate as great privi-
slege having a journal specially devoted to

Sed from time to time from Patrons in Tex

Florida, South Carolina, Maryland and
other States, and where good suggestion
is made itreaches the hearts and minds of
tens of thousands of distant brethren. Till

country enjoyed no such advantage as this,

ests if they do not put it to the best pos

The iron mentioned was shipped from
