He was about Is years old and had
attended school in San Antonio, Tex.

two seats back, when the shooting oc-
Cured. The first thing that at

shot, and turned and looked north
and saw man standing in the aisle
shooting. 1 glanced directly at him
and then to the point where he seemed
to be shooting. At that point l saw a

COOPERATION IN ITS INFANCY

Co operation of the agricultural
classes in commercial lines is in its in
fancy in America. Several expert
ments in that line having proven abor-
tive. The Grange did not succeed as
they tried the plan of cooperative
stores, which iii most cases PTOTtI
disastrous. The reason was
/. That they took into their Organiza-
ton those whose interest it was to pre-
vent success.
2. Merchandising was an unknown
business to the agricultural classes,
and they coming in direct competition
with experienced merchants with large
capital, no scheme was left unused to
d~isintegrate the membership,
3 While competing on the same
basis, having the same expenses OF
rent. insurance, statesmen, interest on
capital, shop-worn goods, a want OF
knowledge as to the demands Of the
trade, etc, brought discord.
In handling such goods as require
personal inspection, such as dry goods,
notions, etc, competition can be relied
on to regulate profits, and the Alliance
hopes to succeed by attempting to
handle only such goods as can safely
be bought without personal inspection,
such as fertilizers, groceries, sewing
machines, agricultural implements,
etc. thus saving the expenses of hand
ling necessarily incident to the store
| system. Some of the difficulties met
with in our system is the combinations
| of manufacturers, wholesale dealers,
| ETC., who, having established systems
| of trade, are slow to adopt a new and
untried experiment; the bOycOtting of
their goods by retailers, should they
sell through any system that would
put the goods to the consumer cheaper
| than their own; hence they could not
successfully compete.
All of these objections can be over
come, but not without a united. de-
termined effort on u part, resOrting
to such means as are necessary to
counterfeit the opposition and stand by
our own system till we can demonstrate
that our system will not be to the detri-
ment Of those from which we wish to
buy. If our system should not meet
with opposition from those who have
been living by our trade going through
their hands, it would be the best evi,
dence that our system was a failure.
We should expect strenuous OppoSi
ton from organized trades, and meet
it by showing a solid front, and if need
be, buy goods only from such firms
and manufacturers as will sell to us on
the same terms and conditions as they
do to others buying like quantities, etc.
Should we look to those who profit
by old systems to approve course
No sane man would expect anything
else but opposition from them.
That our systems have proved sue
cessful in every detail is not claimed
and not expected in the infancy of oul
work, but that much good has been
accomplished, none will deny. Where
we have failed let us amend, going or
in improvements till we shall succeed
for therein is a wide field of usefulness
If your child does not always do al
you might wish, what is the natura
thing to do2 Why, correct it; but IL
so doing let us initiate the parent
spank the young one, but give NOTES
to the world that we, and not others
propose to do the spanking.

DEAR SIR AND Bro have in my safe
a check for ST. 900 from the Durham
Fertilizer Co., for the benefit of all
those who used the goods seized at
Mebane in June of last year by the
State Department of Agriculture, be
cause of its being below the guaranteed
analysis. The condition on which this
check was deposited with me IS, that if
said guano did not produce as good
field results as any goods bought from
the Durham Fertilizer Co., or from any
other company, then you we're to make
your claim for damages and I was to
pay said damages out of the check in
my possession. This check I have held
for your protection.
F~raternally,

Mr.. Sellers replies under date of
Feb. 10, as follows: MY Alliance
does not lay any claim for damages
against the Fertilizer Co. on the seized
goods. The last was as good as the
first and the first as good as the last,
