If farmers would use their brains
more and their mouth less, many Of
them would be better of. Make 9
practice from this very hour of testing
all things whereby there is any posi-
bility Of your losing money. Every
thing has chance at you from che
time you put your seed in the ground
until you have sold your crops and
performed the last act in the drama by
spending it. Weigh your cotton the
morning you carry it to market on
scales you know to be correct if you
havn't got any it win pay to get them,
then dom. submit to losses in weight,
weigh all your meat, sugar, coffee and
other purchases when you get home,
inspect all the goods you have bought
and compare results with others offered
you. Some of you pay very high for
sweet talk and "honeyfuglin." We
do not believe in universal deprivity,
there is honor and virtue enough to
save the world, but ut the same time
"a man may smile, and smile and ] still
be 4 william. It is safe to "watch as
well as pray"

Although cotton has declined in
price to point the lowest in fifty years
and the entire cotton producing fra
terpity are greatly demoralized over
this event, yet they overlook the fact
that the transportation of and cent
cotton by the rail roads and the weigh
ing, commissions and handling all re-
main at old prices and tine farmer has
it to pay. Each old hay seed plows
his row, don't read and is 30 full of
self-couceit and prejudice against all
progressive tendencies and men, that
they fall single handed on easy prey to
their more wary, better posted and
combined adversarys. The business
world cares very little for "the hen
that lays the golden egg" SO long as
she does not become too poor to con-
tinue the process. The question of
rail road charges on all the carrying
trade, on what you buy as well as what
you sell and the discrimination against
local business is one of great impor-
lance to you. The dividends on stocks
continues as well o salaries of en-
ployees to be the same. The business
men of every town in Mississippi
should take the matter in hand rs a
paying investment for the future for
them In the first place it would not
only show an interest in the welfare
of their customers that would be ap-
preciated by them and others, but
secondarily enable them to buy more,
and would attract trade and retain
it. If the mercantile fraternity fail
to act then the farmers should have
meetings and take such steps as will
insure the desired ends. This is a
strong reason and q very dear one too
for you farmers, why you should be
organized. You let politicalu demago-
CUES and x 4 growers fill you chuck
full of free silver bosh and hope OF
relief from vain legislation whilst you
are being robbed every day right un-
der your noses and fail to see it. We
have no war to make on rail roads or
any other fair and equitable business,
but we publish this paper in the inter-
est of the masses of our people and we
are going to do it in spite of h-ll and
high rates. We are going the grand
rounds and will open The eyes of the
horny handed red necks to some other
things he is stumbling over and don't
see.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-11-05

A correspondent of Parks Floral
magazine from California for October,
speaking of the great strike says
"Our trains were all stopped and much
damage done to the rail roads. We
had to return to primitive times and
travel by creek boasts and the thousand
who travelled on them was something
marvellous. The whole Pacific coast is
in favor of the government owning the
rvil roads. The fruit men suffered
most. Fruit is being rnshed with San
Francisco by the ton. Lovely noun
tain peaches can be bought for 80 cents
per basket OF IS pounds. They are sold
on the streets from hucksters wagon
"a for cents. Plums Apricots, Grapes
Strawberries, Bartlett pears 20 for 5
cents, Melons for 5 cents. Fruit is
cheaper this year than ever before
You see the cotton farmer is not alone
in the low price of his sale crops and
YOU see furthermore that we cannot
afford to have strikes, which means
we must have strong government
and a presidant with n stiff backbone
That is the only remedy and it would
be we'll for the dirt movers OF this
country to remem Der this when they
put their little ballot iu the box and
see that it calls for the right men and
is counted right.

AGAIN The COOK GANG.
Two of Their Number Hold Up the Towr
of Lenapah, 1. II.

Two OF inelr NUMBER Hold Up the Town
of Lenapah, 1. I.
CoEFEYvILLE, Kan, Nov. 10.-Two of
the Cook gang plundercd the town of
Lenapah, /. T., and left trail of blood be-
hind them yesterday afternoon They en-
tered the town in the character Of bold
bandits, without any attempt at conceal
ment, and terrorlzed the citizens until
they had carried out their plans of rob-
berry. Il. #. Melton, a brave young man
who attempted to stay them with his gun
when they were riding away, was shot
down and instantly killed. Another man
whose name is not known is reported to
have been seriously wounded.
Both of the victims were with q small
force of citizens, who hastily armed them
selves attempted to prevent the escape Of
the bandits. The robbers were mounted
on fast horses, and were heavily armed.
Some of the citizens claim to have recog-
nized them as Cherokee Bill and Jim
French, well known lieutenants of Bill
Cook, the leader of the gang.
The robbers held up the proprietors OF
the two stores here and looted both places
They also robbed the postoffice John Shit
felt, the proprietor of one store, was re-
lieved of 800 in money and gold watch.
These articles were taken from his person.
A report says the bandits are headed for
Coffeyville, which is only fifteen miles
from Lenapah This place is the scene of
many tragic robbers, and tho police depart
ment, with volunteers, are prepared to
meet the robbers in the same way they met
the Daltons two years ago, when almost
the whole band was wiped out.

The people are also indifferent. In the VI

THE ST. Louis launch.
ALI Arrangements Perfected for
the Great Event.
MRS CLEVELAND WILL CHRIsTEN.

The First Modern Ocean Passenger Vessel
Ever Built In This Country-over Tenth
OF a Mile in Length md the Largest
Ever Built by Cramps.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1o.-All arrange.
ments have been completed at Cramps
ship yard for the launching of the Ameri-
can line steamship St. Louis on Monday
next. This event has attracted more at
tention than any similar affair IN recent
years, because the st. Louis is the first
modern ocean passenger vessel built in
this country, and the preparations have
been necessarily on q larger scale than
usual Mrs. Cleveland is to christen the
ship, and she will be accompanied from
Washington by a distinguished party, in
Guiding all the members of the cabinet and
their wives. The Washington guests will
travel in special train over the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which will be run direct to
the ship yard.
The St. Louis Is 100 feet longer than any
ship ever launched from Cramps before,
and the question of getting her safely into
tho water has been a serious one. The
Delaware river opposite the yard is narrow,
and 1t has been necessary to dig away
many thousand feet of mud In order to
give her SulUclenU room.
The most serious problem of all that
had to be overcome, however, was the
danger that might arise from the action of
the tide after her stern struck the water.
The ship is $50 feet long, more than
tenth of n mile, and when her stern is in
the middle Of the channel, about 100 feet
of her bow will still be on the ways, and
If there is any tide at all there is danger of
the great hull being twistsd. To guard
against such an accident careful tidal OBJ
sesyations have been made daily during
the past two weeks, and Lieutenant Nixon,
who will have charge of the launching, ex-
pressed himself today as being confident
that no accident will befall the ship. Two
heavy drag anchors will be attached to her
bow and other arrangements have been
made to check her speed. Several heavy
hawsers will be attached to her bow
which will break at intervals of about
forty feet
The LAUGHING stand from which Mrs.
Cleveland will break the traditional bottle
of champagne on the point of the steel
bow as it glides past her, is built to ac-
commodate 400 people. On this will be the
Washington guests and the officers and
principal stockholders of the Cramp Ship
Building company and the International
Navigation company. Four immense
stands to accommodate other invited
guests have also been erected. EARLY in
the day the gates of the yard will be thrown
open to the general public.
The tide will be at its height at 1850 p.
IN. on Monday, and the launching will
take place between that hour and 1880
