ORGANIZED FARMERS.

The directors of the Eastern Shore
OF Virginia Produce Exchange have
declared a dividend OF 10 per cent.
on the capital stock OF the company,
which amounts to slightly over SOL
600. The company referred to is a
corporation composed OF the farmers
OF the Eastern Shore Of Virginia,
numbering some $500. The organ
izatiOn Is In the nature OF farmers
combine and has been in successful
operation for about five years. The
success which has attended this
movement should start the farmers
OF other sections to thinking. Few
farmers realize the fact that almost
all the necessaries of lie, other than
those they produce on the farm, AMI
which they are forced to buy, are
trust made, and that thetrusts fix
absolutely the prices of such articles,
which the farmer is bound to pay "r
40 without. On the other hand,
when the farmer sells his produce he
is forced 70 take such prices as those
10 whom ne sells see tit fix Never
theless, what the farmer produces II
AS essential TO those who consume
his produce as anything the tarmef
purchases is essential IL him. It.
view II this inequality OF things Their
il little wonder that the farmer has
in most instances hsen kept poor,
while the manufacturers Of Other
necessaries Of lie are "barons AID
captains Of Industry" The explain -
tion is apparent. On the one side
there has been organization andcom-
binAtion. while ON the other there
has been none. These Eastern Shore
farmers are awaiting themselves OF
modern business conditions aud prin-
ciples and We are glad TO sea 1t. l.
this is TO be day of combines and
cooperation in business, rs opposed
TO competition, then che farmers ell
gagged in any particular class Of az
riculture have an.equal right TO COM
bine together to control the price Of
their products.

The colored people seem to be in a
high state OF excitement In Newport
News at the report that a colored
girl had been kidnapped. Is is said
the kidnsppers have quarters over
an undertaker's establishment, and
this fact, coupled with the mortal
dread OF a kidnapper, has added to
she excitement, which has grown
almost into a panic. The Royal
League OF Peace, a colored organiza-
tion, has been appealed to, and IL
recommends that the colored women
remain In doors at night. 1t is stated
that so rigidly is this recommends
tion observed, that no servant can
be induced to remain at her place OF
service after dark. Some times such
q scare, while Ii inconvenience some
few, is wholesome to thecommunity.

SOUTHERN DE- OURATS SHOULD
LEAD.

The Washington Post OF the It'll
inst. contains u strong editorial ca
titled "Time for the South 10 Think.
ia which that abb journal urges up"r
the Southern D-mocrats the neces'
sity OF throwing off the Leadership q"
NOthern Democrats, and taking the
management OF the affairs Of that
party in their own hands 10 urge :
that the South 'cOntaius the reai
body OF the Democratic party, iur-
nishes three fOurths OF the party :
representation in Congress and H.
the electoral college, and nine tennis
OF she strength which can be safely
counted on under all circumstances.
This is not only true, but the advice
which the Post bases upon these iacts
is sound. The South would WELD Lar
more power in national affairs il II
could be brought to the idea that 1t
should lead and not be led. There
are as many men in the South in pro-
portion to ius population who are
capable OF party leadership and the
management ofgovernmental affairs
as there are In any. other section OF
the country. The economical, wise
and safe management OF State gov
ernmenss in this section OF the coun-
try is sufficient guarantee OF this.
What is essential to impress this Tact
upon the country is for she South-rn
people to assume an aggressive asti-
tude upon public questions, and to
stop following blindly the leadership
of other sections. The South is ab-
solusely and entirely right in its at
titude upon the racial problem with
which Is Is confronted, and it not
only has the ability so solve thls
problem in the right way. but 10 i'm
press It's ideas upon the rest OF the
country. When this great question
is once settled, and settled right, the
Southern people will show their indie
pendence OF thought upon economic
questions. No man from the North
has ever lived among Southern peo-
pie for any length of time without be-
coming impressed with the righteou--
ness OF the South's attitude on racial
questions, and We have men of sutf-
Glen. ability to carry this question
to the doors of those who dOnOt live
among us and so impress them that
we are right Let the South shake
off this attitude Of negation. 10 this
matter we have few heather at our
own doors. Let us begin campaign
OF missionary work among our
brethren at the North, and stop
blindly following the leadership OF
those who understand Us no bette r
than do those who openly denounce
US as the oppressors OF a benighted
race.
