Bale Presses
(Sam c. French in the The Texas Farm
and Ranch.)
What the Farmers Antitrust Union,
of Texas says:
BY order OF the Farmers Antitrust
Union, recently organized at Navarro
Mills, in Navarro county, Texas, / here
with enclose a brief summary Of the plan
of organization and obligation adopted
May 20, 1899.
Believing that in union there is
strength, We pledge to each other our
| mutual support and hearty cooper
alton by uniting in an organization to
| be known as the Farmers Protective
and Anti-TrustUnion.
Section l declares the aim, object
and intention Of this union to be for
the mutual protection OF the farmers
and cotton raisers from the blighting
influence and power Of the round bale
cotton trust in particular and all other
trusts, m%onopolies, syndicates and COM
bines of whatever name, character or
formation, the workings Of which are
detrimental to the interests Of the pro-
ducers of the products Of the soil, which
constitutes all wealth, and which tend
to destroy honest competition in trade
and commerce." Section 4 declares
that "all persons who are opposed to
trusts and ~monopolies in IN and all
form, and who believe in honest COM
petition in trade, and who believe in
the ~inalienable rights of man to life,
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness as
guaranteed the citizens Of this great
republic by the constitution, and who
are willing to subscribe to the obliga-
ton hereinafter set forth, are eligible
to membership in this union"
The following Is the obligation. 1--WE,
whose names are hereuntO subscribed,
do most solemnly obligate ourselves
not to encourage, support or patronize
the round bale cotton system in any
way, shape or form, and we further
agree TO patrOniZe our home gins and
ginnerS with the fat bale, provided
that Our ginners will reduce their
| presses to conform to the uniform or
standard bale of "a by 81 inches, and
we further agree that WI will not in
sist or require our gin men to use or
put in any more cotton than is neces-
sary to make an average weight bale
of 500 pounds"
The obligation was signed by nearly
every man present. r. j. Wright was
elected president; r. F. johnson vice.
president; Sam C. French, secretary
and treasurer. A committee consisting
of ]. S. Pender and r. J. Davis, was
appointed to organize the colored farm
ers of our precinct.
This organization is not a temporary
| affair, but will continue in existence as
long as there is a trust to fight, or un-
til our state officers shall have en-
forced the constitutional laws Of our
state, and have driven all ~monopolies
and trusts from our beloved state.

NAVY CLAIMS THE CREDIT
Capt. Wilde Declares Gen. Miller'S
Promotion Was Unearned.
SHARP Controversy Between the
Two Arms of the Service
Protest Made Too Late.

Capt G. F. F. Wilde. z. S. N, OF the
United States ship Boston, has protested
against the promotion Of Col. Miller TO a
Brigadier Generalship as a reward for the
capture of IlOilo. 1t appears that this cap
ture was effected entirely by naval forces
under the command of Capt. Wilde, and
that it was not until after the capture
had been effected that the place was turn
ed over TO Col Miller, who. up to that time
had nothing TO do with its capture. This
action is Endorsed by Admiral Dewey
Capt. Wilde's protest comes too late to be
effective, as Col. Miller was promoted to a
Brigadier Generalship February15 in recog-
milton of his services in the capture Of Ilo-
Ito, and was retired in that grade, March
2, by operation OF law on account of age
He was in command of the expedition
sent from Manila for the capture of IlOilO.
and the cruisers Boston and Petrol were
sent with him to render assistance
While the vessels Of the expedition were
lying of the port, the natives began TO
strengthen their defenses, and fired sew
eral shots at the Petrol, which vessel was
anchored nearest the shore The COM
mander Of that small warship asked and
received permission Of Capt. Wilde, of the
Boston, 10 respond. At this time, accord
ing to naval advices. Gen. Miller's army
transports were far out in the roadstead.
Without communicating with Gen. Miller
the two warships opened fire on the shore
batteries, and soon silenced them.
Lieut. Niblack, of the Boston, landed with
battalion of marines and sailors and took
possession Of the town. They captured the
insurgent flags on the Governors house
and on the batteries, and turned The city
over to Gen. Miller on his arrival an hour
or so later. They kept the captured flags,
however, in spite of Gen. Miller's demand
for them
This is the naval story OF the battle Of
llOilO. The official report Of that engage
ment first received in Washington IS
made by Gen. Miller to the War Depart
ment, and simply announced the surren-
der OF that city to the American forces
under his command without going into
particulars. Acting upon this report and
in view or the fact that Gen. Miller had
but few weeks more to serve on the ac-
tive list. the President appointed him 10
vacancy then existing in the list of Brig
adler Generals. He is now on his way
home from Manila, and is expec ted 10
reach San Francisco in a few days.
