The Farmers Should Organize.

Every body it seems except the Cot
ton Exchanges and cotton gamblers
have indicated their friendship and
sympathy with the cotton growers OF
the South, and still some of our cotton
growers are looking at and holding on
to the dollar that it takes to join the
Farmers Union while the cotton spec
nlator is running off with from $40 to
Sl2 per bale of his cotton, when, if all
cottongrowers, or even one half of
them, would unite, they could abso-
lutely control prices.
The Southern cotton mill men, the
merchants and bankers are tumbling
over each other in concert of action Of
fering aid to farmers to enable them to
hold their cotton, but the farmers are
very slow in coming together. They
that they have almost lost confidence
in each other.
Mr.. Montgomery, vice president of
the South Carolina Bankers Associa-
tiOn, in his article appealing to bank
ers to come to the cotton growers aid,
speaks thus: I'm revolving this matter
in my mind the plan indicated above
appeared the most feaeable, because
the banks of the South are organized,
the farmers are not; the banks can act
pI0mptiy, the farmers cannot"
Farmers, this clause from this letter
from banker should be read and re-
read again, and again, to every farmer
who refuses to join the farmers organ
izations to help himself. There are
bankers, the mill men, merchants, cot
ton oil mills, ginners, cotton handlers
and even the little "2 A" cotton buy
ers that stand on the streets, are all or
ganized to protect their own interest,
while some farmers consider them
selves too independent or feeble, too
smart or too big fool, too good or too
Indifferent to associate his name with
that of his best neighbOrs, in one grand
concert OF action to protect that which
belongs to him. SO long as farmers
refuse to trust each other" and stand
alOOf to battle against the organized
world single handed, just SO long the
organized world will regard him as u
dog for the tleas to prey upon, and he
has no escape.
Why is it that the manufacturer of
cotton cannot raise the price of the
manufactured products instead of low
ering the price of cotton in order to
goods trade is we'll organized and the
cotton grower is not. The current OF
trade moves along the line of least re-
sistance, and as the dry goods trade is
unit and is fortified against resis-
tance, and the farmer is not prepared
to meet this pressure upon his business
with an organized force as an equal il
not superior unit the farmers interest
is swamped, and he has to yield to the
inevitable and pay tribute to the Or
ganized fori es of his wiser competitor
for the dollar.
Farmers, rally to the standard of
equity; come out on 9TH January next
at every precinct in the country and
join The Farmers Union, organize one

the homo mills, are as dimes to dol
lars. There are farmers yet among us
that will stay out of their organizations
aud hold on to the dollar that it takes
to join these protective associations
and watch the cotton speculntor run Off
with SO or $12 on each bale of their
cotton. We should not quarrel with
or abuse these short sighted neighbors
for they are really sto be pitied, but
their wiser and more progressive
neiShb0rs are to be blamed for not
string up these unfortunate neighbors
to join in concerted action on behalf of
every one that raises cotton. Remem-

Mr.. Foster and the Senate Com
merce Committee.

merce Committee.
Picayune.
The attention of the Picayune
has been called to the fact that
in the reorganization of the
Senate for the Fifty-elghth Con
gress Senator Foster was placed
on the Commerce Committee of
that body.
There were two vac INC es on
the Democratic side, caused by
the retirement of Senators Vest,
of Missouri, and Turner, of
Washington, and Senator Foster
was appointed to fill one of them.
The Committee of Commerce has
charge of all matters relating to
navigable rivers and levees, and
there is no subject of greater and
more urgent Importance to us of
Louisiana than is the levee in
terest.
The Senator is from the allu-
vial region of Louisiana, which is
absolutely dependent on levees
to protect it from the floods Of
the great Mississippi River.
Senator Foster is not only en-
tirely familiar with the subject,
but during his service in the
State Senate and his two terms
as Governor he gave the greatest
attention to ievees and worked
TO. them increasingly. AS. a
member of the Commerce Com
mittee IF the United States
Senate he will be able to do a
great work in a behalf IF prOtec-
ton from floods. and his ability
to accomplish such a work vii.
increase with every day that .he
remains III the Senate.
A man does not succeed to
such a committee of Importance,
save after a long or a distin-
guished service in the Senate,
and no man could be more in his
proper place there than is Sena-
tor Foster. 1t is a great thing
for our levee interests that he is
there, and his influence and
power for good will steadily in
crease. Therefore it would be
the worst sort of policy to change
Senator's while the most i'm
portant questions of Government
aid to or control of the levees are
under consideration.

have his pants made from 16 to 20

SMASHED THEIR AUTO.
Rouses Point Party Meets With Serious
Accident at North Ferrisburgh.

Ferrisburgh, Sept. 16.--A $4,000 auto
mobile was wrecked at North Ferris
burgh yesterday afternoon and the lives
of three people were endangered.
Strange to say the occupants Of the ear
escaped without injury, but the big ma
chine was knocked into a cooked hat.
The accident happened to Mr.. and
Mrs Meyers of Rouses Point, who with
their chauffeur were passing through the
town enroute to New York in their auto
car. They were whizzing along at a fair
rate Of speed past Levi Beacll's black
smith shop in North Ferrisburgh, when
the chauffeur gave the steering gear a
sudden twitch to avoid a mud puddle.
II proved too much for the equilibrium
Of the machine which made wild lurch
and then turned bottom side up, pinning
the chauffeur beneath it and sending
Mr. and Mrs. Meyers into space. They
alighted in safety, and the chauffeur
was found to be intact when they lifted
the machine from him. The car was
shipped to Vergennes and thence to
Cleveland. Ohio, to be permanently re-
paired The estimated damage to the
auto Is $1,000. Mfr. and Mrs. Meyers
went to New York on the train.

uerS a Hit.
SHUT THEM OUT II TO 0
Only Two Men Got to First Base IN
Nine Innings and IL Famed
big Fellow Made Home
Run.


Eddie Sheldon, the star Barre Mont
pelier pitcher and one of the best in the
Northern league, pitched a wonderful
game for the HinsdaIe, n. H.. team
against Springfield Of the Connecticut
league Thursday, shutting out the next
to the best team in the Nutmeg state
league, and moreover not allowing them
to get a single hit. II was a most won
derful exhibition Of twirling, and the
feat Of shutting out the opposing team
without a hit is very rarely done. The
great Denton Teeumseh Young of the
champion Bostons did it early in the
season and there have been very few
other instances. The HinsdaIe- Spring
field game was played at Hinsdale, N.
H., before very large crowd Of people.
The score was II to o.
But that was not all OF the story of
Sheldon's great pitching Besides shut
ting Springfield out without q hit he al
lowed but two Of them To get to FIRST
base during the whole game. One OF
these got first through free pass IS
sued by the great pitcher and the other
got there through an error by Wood
ward, the HinsdaIe third baseman. Sex
enteen Springfield batters famed the at.
mosphere aud sat down, while Sheldon
kept on saving wood in his usual fash.
ion. And not only did sheldon pitch
we'll, but he sent out a screeching home
run of Bowler, the star pitcher of the
Springfield league team. Nash, the Bar
RE- Montpelier catcher, held Sheldon in
fine style and also raped the ball for
two singles Dan Mccormick OF brief
Northern league experience, umpired the
game.

Al catch ever seen here was made BY
Carroll off Hess in the eighth inning.
Heifner was on first, and Hess hit fiv
to deep right field. Carroll was playing
in close but by long sprint and jump
captured the ball above his head with

second, was easily doubled. Carroll was
Immediately given suitable reward BY
his generous manager. Dillon also

partment Of the game.

the first three men to face him. From
the third inning Springfield was bowled
over in regular order by the big fellow
and in the ninth Sheldon wound up
brilliant record BY striking out three
men.
