WHATTHE FARMERS WANT

Ths 'remehdous rush ef ea!,on
% shd buyers during the last eIah,
or len weeks raises the QUESTION
whether the southern f1rmers
have been sincere in maintaining
that 1t costs seven cents per pound
to produce it7 1t invites another
question. Are the farmers in
genuous when they ask the SYM
pathy and assistance Of their fell
low countrymen of the South?
DO they really wish that COOPER
alton of interests which will ad-
vance the price Of cotton to nine
or ten cents per pound and main,
tain it about that leYelP
These arc pertinent questions,
because the course Of the farmers
during the last ninety days has
made them pertinent. The
farmers were in better condition
January 1 Of this year to make
stand than they have ever been.
Thousands declared themselves
ready to make stand; thousands
declared there was only starvation
ahead with seven cent cotton.
The bankers, the manufacturers.
the merchants and the press were
asked into consultations All in
terests unanimously agreed to
stand by the farmer, to give him
moral and financial support. A
conrse was mapped out. 1t was
determined, or rather it seemed
to be determined, that as much
OF the cotton as was on hand
should be held for an advance in
prices and that there should be a
reduction in acreage. Public
sentiment backed the farmers; in
fact everybody appears to have
backed the farmers except the
farmers.
Day after day, week after
week, cotton has been streaming
to market. 1t has gone to the
buyers by the twenty and the
thirty thousand bales day, only
the existence Of the association
has prevented the bottom drop
ping out Of the market. But the |
farmers seem to be satisfied with |
7 IL cent cotton. Instead Of a |
reduction Of IS per cent in ac-
rcagc we hope for but fifteen;
many allege there will be little or
nothing What are the allies OF
the farmers to think2 Will the
farmers not help themselves

He Ought to Know.

The Christmas number of the
Times Herald made its appearance
on time Friday, and is receiving
much favorable comment from every
body, as it is by far the most credita-
BILE, elegantly gotten up holiday edi-
ton ever printed in Palatka. 1t
contains twenty-five pages, including
the cover, which is beautifully litho-
graphed, and boasts 1920 inches of
paid advertising, all of which but a
few exceptions in local. An eXhaus-
tive wrIte-up OF Putnam County by
villages and towns and the growth
and prosperity of Palatka, is II fea-
ture worthy of special note. There
is Christmas reading galore, includ-
ing stories, rimes, jingles and illus
trations. Each advertiser is remem-
bered with cleverly written para
graph, and the local and general
news is served up in pleasant style.
In addition to being mailed to regu-
lar subscribers, hundreds of copies
will be sent to parties outside Put
nam County and the State. A fea-
ture of the edition worthy of special
mention is the history Of Palatka,
both ancient and modern, as it were.
Au interestingly told story of the
citys first settlement is given, also
its present greatness and prominence
are graphically portrayed. The pub
fishers are more than pleased with
the number, and the general concern
manifested in its compilation by the
public. The people of Palatka and
Putnam County are due the Times
Herald a vote of thanks for this eX-
cellent and effective exposition of
the resources, beauties and adyant-
ages of Palatka and Putnam County,
and the degree of publicity it will
give to the outside world. There is
small doubt but that this edition will
be the means of causing hundreds OF
people to emigrate to this section
and casting their lot with us.
The elegant residence of w. E.
Wattles in the West End will be oc-
cupied by the family the first of the
present week, the building having
arrived at this stage of completion.

The bride is the daughter of Mrs.

citizens of Paris. She is charming
and attractive and is much loved.
Mr.. Helm is formerly of Dallas. Tex,
and is now making Lexington his
home. He is an accomplished
musician with beautiful bari
tone voice, and is a musical director
of note. The couple are distant

Sudden Death of Mr.. Henry Spears.

AIR Henry Spears, one of the most
prominent citizens of this city, died
suddenly at his home, on Mt. Airy
avenue, at Z o'clock, Tuesday even
ing. He had been in bad health for
several years, but was on our streets
only a, few days ago looking much
improved and his death at this time
was unexpected.
Mr.. Spears had just finished his
supper and had been playing with his
little grandson, who had just arrived
the night before with his mother,
Mrs. Alice Gloster, of Tennessee, to
visit him, and walked into his bath
room to cleanse his teeth, when he
fell to the floor and never gained
consciousness.
Mr.. Spears was So years of age, and
was twice married. His first wife was
Miss Cook, now deceased, by which
union there were ten children, seven
surviving, viz: Mrs. Keith McC Clintock
and Mr.. Ben Spears, of Paris; Miss
Maria Spears, of New York; Mrs.
Alice Gloster, of Tennessee; Rev.
Hal Spears. Danville, Ky; Jacob
Spears, Sterling, Colorado, and Dr.
LleWellyn Spears, of Louisville.
His second wife was Mrs. Georgia
Spears, the widow of Noah Spears,
who survives him.
Mr.. Spears has been busy man all
his life and gave up the mercantile
business to enter the Agricultural
Bank in 1899, when it opened for
business, as Cashier. His strict in
tegrity, fair and honest business
methods with all, soon brought the
Agricultural Bank into prominence
and it now ranks with the strongest
and most substantial banking houses
in Kentucky. To his efforts alone, it
may be truthfully said, the Agricul-
tural Bank of Paris owes it's standing
in the financial world to-day. At the
time of his death he was the Presi-
dent of this institution.
Mr.. Spears was a gallant and brave
Confederate soldier, one of the few
remaining members of the noted
Orphan Brigade in this county.
He will be greatly missed by his
family, his church and the community
at large. He was a consistent mem
Der of the st. Peters Episcopal
Church, and was charter member of
Garth Lodge, A. o. u. W., and of the
Knights of Honor.
The funeral services were held at
the Episcopal Church, yesterday
afternoon, at 2 O'Clock, the services
being conducted by Bishop L. w.
Burton, assisted by Rev. r. G.
Caswell.
The active pall-bearers were: J.J.
McClintock, e. l.. Harris, j. Il. Hin
ton, w. HI. Mcmillan, J. d. McClin-
took, James Mcclure, Buckner Wood

The members of A. o. u. w. lodge
and the Confederate veterans attend
ed the funeral services in body.
Mayor Ben Perry issued proclama-
ton requesting the business houses to
close from 1:30 to 3 o'clock, during
hours of the funeral, and as the lone
procession passed up Main street it
could be seen that every house had
their curtains down, showing the re-
spect in which the deceased was held
by all.

Queen Bees Worth 5000.

. Just as there are valuable strains In
horses, cattle and other stock, so there
are varieties of queen bees which are
worth many hundred times their
weight in gold. The most valuable
strain is the Italian, and many Italian
bee farmers demand and receive with
out question prices ranging from $50
to $500 for single queen bee Of a
certain kind. Such bees are sent all
over the world. The owner Of bee
farm near Ottawa, Canada, goes to
Europe annually and brings back with
him bees of an aggregate value Of
thousands of dollars. He is enabled
through the agency of an Italian firm
to effect an insurance upon the most
valuable of his queens.
This bee farmer has many strange
experiences in connection with the as
sistants he is obliged to engage. OF
course all beekeepers must submit to
certain amount of singing. But In
some cases the poison IN the sting acts
directly upon the assistants and makes
them alarmingly i'll. Others are I'M
mune, though stung hundreds of
times. Bee farmers are often applied
to by persons suffering from rheuma-
tism who wish to place themselves In
the way Of being stung. And, strange
as 1t may seem, the virus of the bee
sting does often act as a cure to per-
sons suffering from serious attacks Of
