Onr Representative Men.

We take great pleasure in pre-
senting to our readers to-day the
portraits and biographical sketches
of three of the most patriotic, useful
and efficient members of our Order
in the great Empire State of the
South. Worthy Masters H. NJ.
Daugherty of Caldwell county, A.
F. league of Lee, and John B.
Long of Cherokee, are self-made,
capable men, who grew up on farms
and who have learned from obser-
walton and experience that in organ
ization alone is there safety and in
dependence for their class, and that
the only practical farmers organiza-
ton that ever existed in this couc-
try, the only one adapted to their
needs and suited to all sections of
our country, is the Order of Patrons
of Husbandry. With full knowl-
edge Of the causes which made the
farmers weak and ignorant-"hew
ers of wood and drawers of water"
for other classes--they promptly
enlisted under the Grange banner
for the zvar and gave to the cause
a support that never faltered. These
patriot-farmers were early called to
positions of honor and responsibility
in the Order, and by their ability,
fidelity and zeal have more than
met the expectations of their breth-
rem. The poor mans cause-co-
operation-has had in these devoted
Patrons earnest and efficient cham
pions, the efficiency Of whose labors
is to be seen in the successful CO
operative stores in their respective
counties. In his great work of
building up the Texas Cooperative
Association with its ably conducted
Agency at Galveston, Worthy Mas
ter Rose has found in these Jealous
Patrons active and efficient CO.
workers. 1t is such leaders as these
honest, capable, fearless and de-
voted-that will bear the Grange
banner to glorious victory, and
make the noble cause of co-opera-
ton grand success.

Worthy Master Darden I'm Clay
County.

Editor Patron. A little space, if
you please. Friday, the 2Ist day
of July, was day fraught with
much enjoyment for the people of
Sloan, it being the day appointed
by Bro. Darden, the Worthy Mas
ter of the State Grange, to speak at
this place. At an early hour in the
morning the people began to come
in, and by 10 o'clock the crowd was
variously estimated at from eight to
twelve hundred persons. At half
past 10 o'clock the immense crowd
that had assembled under the
shades of the beautiful oaks that
adorn the grounds of the Methodist
Church and academy repaired to
the church, after a few appropriate
words of welcome, in behalf of
Sloan Grange, by our Worthy
Master, R. H. Payne, Bro. Darden
was invited to the stand and intro
duced to his hearers, and notwith-
standing he was quite unwell and
much fatigued from travel we found
him still possessed of that indomi-
natable courage and determination
that has SO characterized his life
both in times of peace and war He
spoke for one and half hours, set
ting forth the necessity of organiza
ton and education upon the part of
the agricultural classes. He also
spoke of the evil results of the pro-
tective tariff law, monopolies, class
legislation, etc. Each of these SUBJ
jects he discussed thoroughly, and
much to the edification of his audi
ence.
We are glad to know that the
outlook of the Grange in this State
was never better than at the pres
ent time.
After the speaking the ladies of
Sloan and vicinity repaired to the
grove and there spread the good
things they had prepared for the
occasion table at which the epe-
curian could be gratified, or he who
possessed the most Unsuitable ape
tite could be satisfied. After the
inner man had been satisfied to its
utmost capacity in the way of bod
lily sustenance, there was Mr.. Rush
ing, of West Point, with his tent,
to administer to their wants in the
evening, in the way of ice-cream,
cool, refreshing lemonade, cigars,
etc. The crowd remained on the
ground until late hour, social con-
versation being the orier of the
evening.
/ think could assert, without
the fear of contradiction, that Bro.
Darden's visit to this PARTON of
the Grange vinyard will rebound in
much good of the Order. We al.
ready have evidence of its good re-
suits, five applications for member
ship has been received already and
quite number of subscriptions for
THE PATRON OF HUsBANDRY, a
paper which should by all means
be supported by the farmers, it be-
| ing the only organ they have pub
lished in their behalf in the South
west.
Fearing that I have already gone
beyond the space asked for in the
outset, will close. Accept my
best wishes for yourself and your
paper. J. A. LAMB.

Some time ago Cant John Co,

Some time ago Capt. John Cow
don, of New Orleans, crank who
has been hanging around Congress
several years begging for an appro-
priation for some of his impractible
schemes for improving the Missis-
sippi river, recently charged Capt.
Eads with bribing Congressman to
secure the passage of the Jetty bill.
We print letter from Capt. Eads
on our first page which efectually
disposes of this falsehood.

The Clement Attachment.

The Texas State Grange at its
approaching session could do good
work by adopting measures to
bring prominently before the far
mers of the State the importance OF
forming companies and concentra-
ting their means for the establish
ment of Clement Attachment facto-
ries. The whole question of hand
ling cotton in the raw form and the
superior advantages of the Clement
Attachment system should be dis
cussed and a committee appointed
to embody the views of the State
Grange in a public address to the
people.
The present system of handling
and selling the crop is so laborious
an expensive, that the farmer real
ICES but small profit in its produc-
ton, and it would be we'll for the
State Oranges in the South to look
into the matter and see if there is
not better way, one that will be
more profitable and satisfactory.
The Clement Attachment system is
so cheap, simple and profita BILE that
it must eventually come into gene
raj use, and it should be the aim of
our representative bodies to hasten
that end.

From the Master of the deo
state Grange.

Editor Patron: As it has Deen
,ong time since I wrote you | will
rive YOU a short sketch OF what 10
going on in this part of the Grange
INWARD. It was cur pleasure, on
tho goth to meet the Broad River
Grange Association at Banksville
Grange in Banks county. Early
I in the morning there bad assem- oieo
about one thousand persons ana q
majority OF them Changers. AT the
appointed hour 10 o'clock the AS,
ISOLATION was called to order, and
eleven of the fifteen Oranges COM :
nosinp the Association responded;
then an opportunity was given ana
four new Oranges connected them
selves with the Association
making now rs Oranges in the As
ISOLATION. Reports from the differ
ent Oranges show that they
are all on the increase and deter
mination to move onward. There
were various question of interest
discussed, among them the ques-
ton of Grange cooperation ana II
seems to be the determination Of
the Oranges to cooperate in al
things. It has never been our
pleasure to preside over a meeting
| in which greater harmony pre-
vailed and if cooperation in rela'
ton TO buying and selling is moi
adopted in that section / will be sur
prised. Already the work has be-
gun and before TIE close of the year
several stores will have been estab
lished. 1t is needless for me to at.
tempt a description of the dinner
All that was necessary were placed
before us, and sufficlency of the
good things taken up to have fed
thousand more. 1t is only neces'
sary for a person to visit the
ne;ghborhood of Banksvlilt
Grange and see the present grow
ing crops, and know what interest
is taken in the Grange in relation
to it, to become Granger in every
particular. The CO operative store

the present standp point, Georgia.
future is bright. If we but had
live Lecturer, the farmers of Geor
gia would rally to the Grange ban
ner in sufficient numbers to success
fully resist all opposition. We have
labored under great disadvantages
this year; provisions have been
made so scarce and high, it has ia
ken the last dollar and we have
been unable to pay for our friend
THE PATRON. Better times are in
store for US. We have made and
harvested the largest wheat anc
oat crops ever known in Georgia
The corn crop will be fine in that
section; we have plenty of rain now
and still raining at the present
time. It is too soon to give an esti'
mate of the cotton crop, but think
we will be able soon to send large
list of subscribers to THE PATRON

A. m. ellar.

In almost every State of the
Union the Grange has developed
the capacity of many farmers for
leadership in popular movement
who, but for the opportunity af-
forded by this farmers organiza-
ton, would never have been heard
of beyond the narrow limits of their
respective nei ghborhoods, and they,
like the masses around them, have
pursued the even tenor of their way,
while other classes were doing the
thinking and talking, the organizing
and the ruling.
Prominent among these self
made men who have arrested the
attention of the people by the force
of their intellect and the grandeur
of their patriotism, is Worthy Mas
ter A. M. Kellar of Bell county,
Texas. He is one of those strong,
earnest men who impresses the
popular mind and secures their re-
cegnition by the simple force of his
intellect and the influence of his
zeal which is the result of honest
conviction. From the time when
he first represented his county in
the State Grange in January, 1856,
and where his ability was recog-
nized by his election to the Execu-
tive Committee, Worthy Master
Kellar has been recognized by the
Order in Texas as a leader emf
nently worthy of their confidence
and esteem, and we greatly err in
our opinion if he does not occupy a
still more prominent position among
those who are to shape the desti-
mics of the Grange in the great EN-
pire State of the South.
We speak of Worthy Master
Kellar now because he has sug-
gested and is advocating a plan that
will exert an immense influence in
building up the Order in Texas
That plan is simply to provide for
more efficient lecture system. Il
is proposed to cut down all unne
cessary expenses in the manage.
ment of the affairs of the State
Grange, so that a number of Dep.
uty Lecturers, three or more, NAV
be employed at adequate salaries
and who shall devote their entire
time to active work. The measures
necessary to be adopted for this pur-
pose will claim the attention of the
State Grange, and we shall look
with deep interest to the action OF
that body on this most important
subject. The active, continuous
efforts of three or four such Patrons
as A. M. Kellar would be to draw
tens of thousands of farmers to our
army and give the Grange in Texas
a power and prestige that il
never before enjoyed.
1t has been suggested that the
State Grange should meet bienni-
ally instead of annually, but the
suggestion meets with little favor
and will doubtless be rejected if it
should be proposed. A reduction
OF representatives and of salaries
will probably find more favor.

A correspondent asks US if the
Manager of a cooperative store has
the right to sell on credit, and to re-
duce the prices on a large lot of
goods and charge higher price on
the same quality of goods when
soldin smaller quantities yet allow
the same dividends to both class of
purchasers. We answer, the Man
ager can do anything he bleases if
the Board of Directors lack the ca
pacity to understand the true prin-
ciples and object of cooperation
and the spirit to compel him to OBJ
serve and obey the plain rules and
regulations of the Association.
The object of the cooperative
system as recommended by the Ma
tional Grange is not to make money
but to save it, and it was especially
designed to protect the poor man.
When the Manager of a co-opera-
tive store discriminates in favor of
the large purchaser in order to in
crease the sales of the store, he vio-
lates the true principles and objects
of cooperation, and it would be
for the good of the Order for such
store to fail and the sooner the bet
ter. Never let it be the policy of
any cooperative store that the rich
mans dollar is worth more than that
of the poor man.
