ORGANIZE AND DIVERSITY.


Uncle Sam: l desire to sug-
gest an idea, as the News is an
Open Forum. The farmers do
not want to do any man a wrong,
and our organization is not war
on the merchant or the town,
but for the purpose securing di-
versitication in farming, and
larger and better markets and to
better our condition socially,
financially and intellectually.
We aim to getin touch with the
Wholesale dealers in Our produce
and be able to ship direct to the
industrial centers, and by being
organized we are able to load
oars and get a good price.
Thesway we have been dribbing
out our produce is ruinous. If
we can increase our prohts on
the farm, we will have more
moneyyto spend with our mer-
chants,and the mortgage will be
a thing of the past, and prosper
ity will mark the progress of
town and country =
How. can we farmers become
happy with the mortgage system
which forces us to pay go per
cent for credit. Don't do it,
brother farmers, let us organize
and learn to diversity and quit
the mortgage business.
Raising cotton is a thirteen
months job while other crops can
be made in 90 days and get the
money for it. Our watchword
should be organize, educate, CO.
operate.

FANCY SHOOTING
BY a Representative of the Peters
Cartridge Co.

BY a Representative of the Peters
Cartridge Co.
On yesterday evening at the
baseball park, Geo. E. Bartlett,
representing the Peters Car
fridge Co., gave a free exhibi-
ton of expert and fancy shoot
ing, that met with favorable
comment from every sportsman
present. With the rifle he did
splendid work at objects thrown
in the air, seldom missing. He
fired holes through small pieces
of boiler plate steel of one fourth
inch thickness, using a 30-30
Peters soft-nosed bullet, show
ing the tremendous penetration
of these high pressure cartridges,
He fired 20 shots of the 22-cal-
ibre target cartridges, made by
the Peters Cartridge Co. The bar
rell of the rifle was only slightly
fouled after the shooting.
Bartlett uses the Marlin rifles
all together in his rifle shooting,
having used the 22-calibre target
for five years continuously,
shooting it nearly every day.
His work with a shot gun was
done with Winchester pump gun
and was up to the mark.

FROM CREEK NATION, I. t.

Cotton is fair average, con-
sidering q seven weeks rain.
However lots of cotton and corn
have been drowned out and lost,
but all that was worked out looks
fairly we'll. We have had a
shower or two since the rain
broke up. The hay business is
the push now. Some one wanted
to know if there were any leases
for sale. Last year there were
q dozen under my observation.
/ don't know how it will be this
year. To those who want to buy
come on. / think you can be
suited. There is lots of room for
good people; we don't want any
other kind, for this country is
filling up With the very best peo-
pie, mostly from Missouri, Ark
anuas and Texas; of course some
from all parts. The better are
still coming in from Texas and
from other parts a few. Some
want to know if we have chills.
Yes, there are a few chills on the

Leaven Needed In Relations and Amer
Rencies Of American Life.
1t is natural, wholesome, saving con-
scientiousness, applied to all the rela-
tons and emergencies Of private and
public life, that Is 80 sadly wanting In
many American communities con-
scientnousness which results In some
thing like that system Of honor which
distinguishes the student life Of tho
University of Virginia, and which, Vir-
ginians are apt to maintain, has per-
ceptibly and benehcially affected the
tone of business and other affairs in
that commonwealth. Downright I'M
scrupulousness marks the knave; par
tial lack of scruple characterizes the
large numbers of respectable men who,
IS members of boards, as merchants,
as taxpayers, as politicians, as voters,
wink at evil practices in others, TIM
idly avoid all opposition to official
wrong, and themselves commit slight
and not too conspicuous irregularities,
or give support for selfish reasons to
venal candidates for office. Such ire
spectables' are the despair of the pat
riotic men who, in our day and in a
thousand communities, are trying to
stay the tide Of that political corrup
ton which, according to so good
friend of America as John Morley,
''for the moment obscures the great
democratic experiment"
1t comes to this, that ''the period of
corruption" which friends of Ameri-
cans abroad are called upon so often
to apologize fora corruption which,
while bad enough, is not so deeply
rooted as our enemies believe-can be
brought to an end only by the growth
of a sense of honor, of scrupulousness
backed by moral bravery, upon the
part of individuals in the republic. 1t
is not fantastic to aver that a gift Of
Imagination would assist some people
to be virtuous. If citizen should feel
that his own lack of scruple, in any
direction, was a contribution to the
corruption and dishonor of his country,
and that his personal withstanding of
temptation to do wrong was not only
an act of private virtue, but had pat
riotic uses as well-if he were con-
WINGED for instance, that his refusal to
vote as a truste for a contribution to a
bribery fund or to a dishonest boss
was a means of doing away with a
national disgrace-if he had the i'm
agination to grasp the large bearings
of his individual action, it would be
easier for him to take q stand for
righteousness instead Of weakly acqui-
escing in some customary wrong. Aris-
totle's idea of the state was associa-
ron 'in life Of felicity and noble
ness" but Christianity ought not to
have to look to paganism for ideals of
good citizenship and the making Of a
righteous people.-Century.

are a liar was the epithet that one
minister of the Gospel hurled at an
other in the presence of a startled
in the Methodist church Friday after
noon. The minister who applied the
epithet was DR.. l. d. Driver. and the
man at whom it was directed was Rev.
Mr.. Handsaker. pastor of the Church
of Christ, in this city. The scene that
accompanied the incident was dramatic
in the extreme. and though the matter
was kept quiet for a time, enough
of the details have become public to
arouse much interest in the affair.
AS near as can be learned the Incl
dent was the elimination of various
minor attacks that DR.. Driver has made
on the doctrines of the Chflstlan
church with reference to ba ptism since
he began a series of lectures in this
city two weeks ago. The word was APP
parently carried to Rec. Mr.. Handsaker
that the faith Of his sect had been as
sailed. and from his own pulpit last
Sunday the matter was quietly re-
ferred to:
At the afternoon service in question
Rev. Mr. Handsaker was present. ana

took issue with DR.. Driver. The de-
bate speedily assumed a personal char
acter, when Rev. Mr.. Handsaker is
declared to have charged that. during
