UNDER the rules of the Republican
party and the call for its national con-
vention the Republicans of Lancaster
county are entitled to send two delegates
to the Chicago convention. Their right
to select them has hitherto been consid-
cred undisputed, but turning to the pro-
ceedings of the Harrisburg conven-
tion we find that it was not Lam
caster county nor any of her
representatives who picked them out this

Through the energy of Bros. S
A. M. Saddler, L. Willis. E. r
Broyles, Sister Fannie Q. Willis and
other live Patrons, a Co-operative
Warehouse for the storage of cotton
was established in Aberdeen las,
year.
The warehouse and premises
have now been purchased. There
is an abundance of room for a
wagon yard, and houses to accom-.
modate campers; also to build a
large store house for CO. operative

Last season they stored 2, 500 bales
OF cotton and declared dividend
OF 10 cents per bale.
This season thew will probably
store 5000 bales. Bro. Saddler is
the Manager. He is the right man
IN the right place. 1t will not be
very long before a Cooperative
store will be established. and in
time Oxford must look to her
laurels, as the Monroe County Co.

Editor Patron .-Believing that
the grand principles of our Order are
sufficiently deep and broad as to
meet tine wants, hopes and expecta
tons of all our people from the At
lantic to the Pacific, from the Lakes
to the Gulf, and believing that we
all feel deep interest in the success
of our cause everywhere, and be-
lieving that its success in any part OF
our land will give additional stimu-
liant to other parts, and believing
that we should keep each other fully
posted all over our land, moved by
these convictions, l propose to give
your many readers few dots from
the Lone Star State" 7a.-1
While we have nothing wonder
full or extraordinary to tell our
Brethren yet we do feel proud to be
able to say that our beloved Order
is in better condition to day than at
any time since it found a foot hold
upon our soil. True we have not SO
many names upon the roll as we
once had, for in the early days of our
Order we organized too fast, our
gates were opened too wide, un
worthy material found their wav
through the outer and inner gates
and became dead weight on the
wheels of the Order, nay more, they
set themselves to work getting up
strife and contention, with design
to break up the Order. You know
that there are times in cultivating
our farms that we must weed the
crop or it will be lost, so the true
men of the Order went to work to
weed out the Grange, and they have
done a good honest job and its good
effect is visible all over the State.
New Oranges are being organized,
dormant Oranges are waking up
and going to work with an energy
and zeal that is sure to win. Co
operation is doing more to build up
the Grange than all other influences
combined.
We are now on the forward march
once more, not SO rapid as at first,
but with more prudence and eau
ton, gathering experience from the
past, we are able to manage our
much. better than in the
past. We are glad to see the people
SO much exercised about the Grange,
they are hungry for Grange intelli-
gence. As Lecturer for the 2Ist
Senatorial District l have travelled
nearly all my time in the interest of
the Order, have had letters from

we have a Grange wherever it is
needed, and a COOPERATIVE store
wherever one is needed. We have
IS live Oranges in the county and
Cooperative houses, all doing we'll
and giving satisfaction.
1t does seem to me that if the
farmers could but realize what could
be done by Organization and Co
operation to relieve them of some of
those grievous burdens that are get
ting almost intolerable, they could
no longer stay out oc the Grange
for there is no remedy for these
wrongs only by fully carrying out
the principles that the Grange teach.
Then Brother Patrons and farmers
let us act wisely, cut loose from the
old oppressive business system, get
out of the old ruts in which we have
run so long, discard and cut loose
from our old task masters, for they
have kept us poor all our lives to
keep them rich. Have we not sub
mitted long enough? Is there not
time in suffering wrong when for
bearance ceases to be a virtue? Is
it not duty we owe to our chill

| fear the political excitement
through which we will have to pass
for the next three months will di-
vert our minds too much from our
Order, and that much of our Grange
duties will be neglected Brother
Patrons this ought not to be; it is
true that we should take an interest
in the politics of our country, see
that the right men are elected to
office, but not led off by political
ring masters, and vote for any one
simply because he is the nominee of
the party. Too long, yes, too long
have we been following such party
leaders, because the political dog
collar was around our necks, and
we would jump when we heard the
crack of the party whip. l am glad
to know that these collars have been
exchanged for free, independent
manhood, with the masses of the
people. They are beginning to
think and act for themselves, they
begin to believe that they have
sense enough to select their own
men, without the assistance of a po-
litical ring master. And this, Mr..
Editor, is the work of the Grange.
All these things have been taught
in the Grange, therefore I say that
we must not neglect our Grange
duties. Let US be firm in the faith.

The entire cotton crop of Ioz9-oo is
greater than ever before known in the onl.
ted States. AS to the total quantity tina.
has been received at all points since sep
TENDER /, 1879, it appears that New Or
leans has handled one third of the entire
crop, while New York has handled but
one-fifth. This shows that New Orleans
stands pre- eminent as the great cotton cen
tire of America in point of receipts. Be
sides. she has always been the prlnclFal
spot market of the United States.
The course Of business this year has been
efninently satisfactory 10 the planter, iner-
chant and manufacturer, and although the
generally reported condition seems to point
to a large cotton crop, the impression
seems to prevail that the increased employ
ment oflabor and the Improvement in trade
at home and abroad will create a consump-
tive demand equal to the supply and main
tain prices that will again fairly compen-

Southern Entcrnrfse,

The Southern people have so long looked to
the North for their agricultural implements
and machinery that they have come to believe
that Sou thern machinists and factories
cannot supply their wants in this direo-
ton, but We have in this place a manufactur-
ing establishment, the Columbus Brass and
Iron Foundry, that turns out Cotton Presses,
Flows, ETC., equal to the,best. That.Foundrv
is owned by Mr.. Charles R. Wood, a Young
maehinist of superior skill and capacity, and
all it needs to be made one of the most extern
slVe IN the South is the patronage of the far
mers. We suggest TO our readers in this and
adjoining States to inform themselves as to the
merits of the implements, etc., manufactured
by this establishment The Cummings Cot
ton Press is one of the best and cheapest
manufactured, and the Cummings Plows give
general satisfaction,
we have recently had occasion ito witness
the skill of Mr.. Wood as a machinist in mt
ting up our engine and repairing a break in
our press ali Of which he did in the most work
manilke manner. The men who are to luld

Bulk Grain.

Formerly, when the transportation OF
grain depended principally on sailing yes
sells, the Atlantic ports offered the greater
advantages of much shorter sea voyage,
and the Northern press at the time pre-.
tended that the moist atmosphere of the
Gulf Stream impaired the grain trans
ported in bulk Some average good pas
sages of sailing vessels lin 1889 which
delivered their cargoes in excellent CON
dition, destroyed that statement. Euro
pean operators gained confidence, and on
account of the cheaper cost, ordered ship
ments from New Orleans. Experience
confirmed the fact that the moisture of the
Gulf passage was in no way Objectionable
and that the only cause of complaint was
due to tie protracted voyage. Steam
slips have. in consequence been more gen
orally employed and results more salts
factory.
OF the 1921 vessels cleared at this port,
comprising I,244,o46 tons, showing an IN
crease over last year of 2S2 vessels and an
augmentation of 3oI,205 tons. the greater
part of the increase is attributed to the
grain trade. This speaks very favorably
| for our port and shows that we are keep
ing up with the improvement at other sea-
hoard ports. It is. therefore, more than
probable. Judging from the natural advan-
| tages of our port and the grain business OF
the past season, that New Orleans will
| take the front rank among the grain ports
| of the United States.
The chief obstacle. however, to the de-
velopment of our grain business is the
absence of a permanent reliable supply
| on the spot AS the trade is now carried
on shippers are entirely dependent upon
| the arrival of barges from St. Louis or
| other interior points, and as engagements
! of ocean tonnage must be made before.
hand it is a point of nice calculation and
| great difficulty to make the barge and ship
| meet exactly at the proper time and avoid
| having to pay damage to one or the Other
corner. This difficulty, however, could
be obviated by increased elevator facilities
especially in the way of stationary eleva-
tor capacity.
| The New Orleans Elevator Company
! have a stationary elevator of strong
capacity of 100000 or 100000 bushels
which can run in and out 10000 bushels
| daiiv. and bv means of the Belt Railroad
accommodation can load or unload easily
! from anv of the railroads now centering
here This company has also three float
| ing elevators, of which the capacity is as
| follows: The "Nicotaux' and Progress
| 10000 bushels daily; the Governor Nor

to be one of tbs largest and best in The
country. 1t is reported that the company
intends increasing IFS stationary elevator
capacity to 100000 of bushels, will

Sugar.

During the past season there were II3 ,oCo
acres reported to have been ground, aver
aging about 1850 pounds sugar and Io7
Gallons of molasses to the acre. The sugar
houses now in operation number LII, of
which S3z are worked by steam and PA by
hand power. The number of vacuum pans
in the country are los. The amount of SUI
gar made from vacuum pans amounts to
y, OOo, 900 pounds, and from the ordinary
way to I27. 900 600. The amount Of molas
ses produced by the former is :, Goo 600 gal
Ions. and by the latter 9, 100000. The first
receipts of new sugar this season were on
September II, ~. In 1910 common to
fair ruled from Il case, and prime to choice
5I@SHc. The receipts this year have
been 1905 hogsheads and 1910 barrels,
against III ,624 hogsheads and 4I24 barrels
last year, and the exports $1,000 hogsheads
against 1858 last wear.
The reports from the country are very
favorable as regards the crops and the tone
at all markets indicates higher prices the
coming season for Louisiana sugar, if not
interfered with by injudicions Congress
ional legislation.
The reports from the country indicate
that with a more general use of improved
machinery there will be a larger proper
ton of the higher grades, atfording increas-
ed profits to the planter.
This gratifying prospect may be mainly
attributed to the labors of the Sugar-Plan-
ters' Association in collecting and dissem-
minating valuable scientific and practical
information with regard to the culture. In
its present condition. sugar planting in
Louisiana has taken higher position than
ever before, and is fairy entitled to posi-
