An organization was effected at a
meeting of farmers at Parksley, last
Saturday, under the name of THE
Truckers Association of Eastern
Shore of Virginia. and rules were
adopted for the government of the
same. The association so far, of course,
has an existence only 81 little be-
yond name; what the developments
will be later and how far they will
meet the wants of the people and be
co nducive to their welfare remains
to be seen. Of one thing, however,
we are convinced, that a step has
been taken in the right direction
and our needs demand that we follow
along the lines mapped out until ex-
perience and observation points out
to us something better. Results ac-
cruing to the farmers who are mem
bers of the association are likely to be
disappointing at first because they
will be apt to expect too much, but
it is to be hoped, that enough Of them
will be found to ''stick" to the Or
ganization to give it q fair trial
Potatoes properly culIed, inspected,
marked and vouched for as No. can
not but inspire confidence eventually
in the purchasers of them, which will
open other markets to us and give us
better prices. But that is very far
from being the only advantage to be
gained by organization and acting in
concert. There is strength in union
which will enable our farmers to put
themselves in a position to demand
their rights-to place q value upon
their potatoes-and to hold them
until they can realize at least
a reasonable profit for their labors.
If our farmers will organize and stand
by their organization and pull to
gether many other advantages doubt
less can be derived from an organiza-
ton, which we do not now foresee,
such as limiting the supply to the de-
mand for them, curtailing the ex
penses of making them and substitu-
tug other crops for them which
will pay US better. Times are
now hard especially to our farmers,
but the cloud which overhangs them
is like every other one-it has silver
lining. Already they have led to re-
duction of freight rates along all lines
leading from US, and we doubt not
that our necessities will cause us to
90 forward and avail ourselves of
advantages which may be presented
to us instead of drifting along as we
have been for years waiting for some
thing to turn up.

Hon. William r. Morrison, chair
man of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, will support the Chicago
nominees, and cannot see how any
democrat can bolt the ticket. He ex.
presses himself as follows as to his
position
Il shall vote the straight demo
cratic ticket. There need be no doubt
on that point: there never was from
the first. I'm not much of bolter
by nature. voted for Cleveland in
'92. l could not think of doing less by
the present ticket. The men are
democrats; the platform they stand
on is the work of a demo-
cratic convention. No good demo
crat can rightfully decline to support
the ticket. 1 shall give both ticket
and platform my undivided support

A correspondent in Massachusetts
has asked the Springfield Republican
few questions which it cannot an
swer, and among them is the fol.
lowing:
If Mckinley is elected, how is the
gold standard to be maintained? Is
it to be maintained "by the issuing
of bonds, by further taxation, or
how? For what sums, principal and
interest of bonds, is the country al
ready pledged, and for what further
sums is it likely to be pledged during
Cleveland's and McKinley's admins
tration to maintain the gold basis?
Who ultimately pays such bonds and
interest, and whom do they benefit?'
The fact, that it cannot be an
swered, ought to furnish food for re-
Election to the gold bug enthusiasts in
our midst, at least, if they are in
search of light on the money ques-
ton.

Hoke Smiths Reasons for Supporting
the Chicago Ticket.

Augusta, Ca, August 15.-Hon.
Hoke Smith, Secretary of the In
terror, replying to an invitation to
attend Bryan and Sewall ratifica-
ton at Augusta, after expressing re-
greet that he cannot be present, says:
ITO the opinions which / then ex-
pressed on the financial question l
still adhere, but 1 also had occasion
then to say that when the National
Democratic Convention named can
didates for President and Vice-Presi-
dent, no matter what might be the
action of the convention upon the
financial question, all democrats
should support the nominee. This
position then believed to be correct,
and I am prepared to sustain it with
equal sincerity now.
1.-The democratic party does not
contine it's platform to single issue,
nor will its power to serve the people
cease with the solution of that issues
1t stands for just taxation; for a
Government according to the terms
of the Constitution; for the rights OF
the plain people of the land. With
us Georgians it also stands for hon
esty and capacity in the management
of our State and country's affairs,
and for the defense of property, home
and person. The-democrat who fails
to vote for the National Democratic
ticket strikes blow at the demo-
cratic State organization.
II urge each democrat to vote for
Bryan and Sewall even though he
may have in no wise participated in
the selection of delegates to the
Chicago Convention. can scarcely
feel that it is necessary to urge sup
port from those Georgians who took
part in the selection of delegates. For
myself, l consider that my action
when delegates were being chosen
fully committed me to support the
nominees.
81 regret that / cannot be with you
at the ratification meeting, but l
shall be in Georgia later on during
the campaign and will endeavor to
aid as much as possible toward demo-
cratic success

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact,
as a rule, they are not. What is
wanted is something mild and sure,

pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is
acknowledged everywhere to be the
most successful remedy in the world

ANOTHER SANTA FE MOVE.

Solicitors for the Company Go Before
Judge Foster and Get Restraining Or
der.
Fort SCOTT, Kan, Nov. 10-The
solicitors for the Santa Fe Railroad
Co. appeared before Judge Foster, of
the federal court in this city, yester-
day and applied for a temporary in
junction restraining Charles F. John
son, who was recently appointed re-
ceiver of the Kansas property of that
company, from taking possession OF
the property. They also filed a cross
bill, and allege that Judge Myers, of
jefferson county, appointed the re-
ceiver by an ex parte proceeding, with
out allowing the defendant company a
hearing, and that he has no jurisdic-
ton in the case.
The constitutionality of the Kansas
alien land law, under which the re-
ownership was accomplished, is also at
tackled. The point raised is that the
company's property in Kansas, COM
orising 4S7 miles of track, which is
now in the receivers hands, is an in
terstate enterprise, and is governed by
national legislation, and that it is a
carrier of the United States mails and
is therefore beyond the reach of apy
state law attempting to effect its own
ership. 1t. is also asked by the solic-
itor that Mr.. Johnson be removed as
receiver. Judge Foster granted a
temporary restraining order. The
hearing of the application is set for
November % at Topeka.
