Death of a Pioneer.

George W. Bloom died at 1856 Mon
day morning at the age of 50 years, after
lingering illness which became acute
after receiving fall at sanitarium in
Indian Territory eleven weeks ago. At
that time he took to his bed and grew
steadily worse until the end.
Brief services were held Tuesday at
the First M. E. church, of which he was
a staunch supporter and active member.
Rev. VIM Often officiated. The remains
were then shipped to North Freedom,
Wis, for burial, which place was for 80
years the home of Mr. Bloom.
George Washington Bloom was born
in Canton, Bradford county, Pennsyl-
vania, December IL, 1922. His grand
father, Geo. Bloom, was one of the Hes
sian soldiers that came over from Ger
many during the Revolutionary war in
the service of Great Britain. Early in
the war he was taken prisoner and be-
fore its close he was supporter of the
American cause.
In 1850 the deceased moved from his
boyhood home to Sank county, Wis,
then almost wilderness. Thus began
his career as piOneer-One of that band
of men and women who toiled that the
wooded wastes might be transformed in
to fertile farms, thriving cities and pros
porous villages. In 1860 he moved to
large tract of land, previously purchased,
where the village of North Freedom now
stands, but then called Bloom Station.
He built saw mill in the spring of 1868
and for twenty-four years did an extern
sive numbering business. He was the
means of building up thriving COM
munity now known as North Freedom.
Valuable improvements grew up around
him and in the course of thirty years he
found himself in comfortable circum-
stances.
He came to Harvey in 1892 and in
vested heavily in Harvey real estate.
Since that time he has made this city
his home. He owned several store build
| ings and residences besides other prop
erty at the time of his demise.
His irst marriage was on January 20,
1S47, to Harriet Wilkinson, who shared
| the privations and difficulties of pioneer
| life with him. She died October 7, 1890.
She was the mother of five children.
Deborah j. died at the age of nine years;
Selinda D. married Charles w. Clark
and lives in this city; VIM. 81. is real
estate dealer in WATERFOWL, S. D.; James
E. died in infancy, and Hattie f. is the
wife of 81. B. Veerhusen of this city.
Some two years later he married Mrs.
Nancy Hudson, who survives him.

SOUTHERN FARMER LOVES
WORK BETTER THAN MONEY.

The Birmingham Ledger arises to
the defense of the southern farmer
and emphatically refutes the charge
OF laziness which has been made
against him. The instances cited in
this connection should prove an object
lesson to the average farmer which he
viii do well to profit by. Says the
Ledger:
Some people on the earth accuse us
SoutherneFS of being lazy. That only
shows that they do not know US. The
life Of the southern farmer is the plain
est evidence that he loves work better
than he loves money. He Will plant
twenty acres in cotton to make four
bales. He walks over that twenty-acre
Held many times from the 1st of April
70 the 4th Of July. Then he starts
over 1t again the LIST of September
and keeps at it till December picking
his crop. Now the farmer could make
that four bales of cotton on FIVE acres
by preparing his fertilizer in the
winter. He could save nearly all that
blowing and walking, but he will not.
He plants that twenty acres year after
year just to get more work than he
needs.
The farmer could make more money
on potatoes and tomatoes than on cot
ton, but those things do not need
so much work in hot weather. There
fore he viii not touch them. He could
make more money with fowls and
hogs by giving his personal attention.
but those things do not require much
work and therefore the farmer will
not give any time 10 them. What he
wants is plenty of blowing in the hot
sun His crops year after year show
that 1t is work he wants and not
money. One farmer in Jefferson coun-
~ sold $500 worth of potatoes and
$500 worth OF tomatoes last year. and
old not raise bale of cotton. He was
not hunting work. but money, there
fore he was not a typical Alabama
farmer. The typical Alabama farmer
IS not in pursuit of money, he wants
work and all the work he can get to
make crop that viii pay his expen-
ses. He could make money much
easier, but that is not his object in
life.
1t is a SANDER to say the southener
does not like work He does. He
does not willingly adopt any of the
labor saving ways in house or farm.
Everything he does shows that the
southerner does not try to avoid
work, but actually seeks II.

OUTLOOK FOR COTTON
Is MUCH BRIGHTER.
) %A4~~A%%%~~0~~e
(Savannah NeWs.l


There is a feeling among men who
study the cotton situation that the
price Of cotton will be s cents before
many weeks. There was q very mark
ed advance on Tuesday, and another
advance yesterday. Now spot cotton
Is firmly held, and there doesn't seem
TO be any disposition to sell 1t at the
advance not witbstanding the fact that
Il seems to be admitted that the gov.
ernment's estimate Of the crop isn't
far ont of the way. The fact is. the
stand taken by the farmers TO hold
their cotton together with the belief
that the fall of Port Arthur will re.
suit in a greatly increased demand for
cotton goods from the Far East, has
had a bouyant effect on the cotton
market, and the bears are now has.
tening to cover their contracts.
OF course it will be some time be.
fore the effect of the fall of Port Ar.
thur upon the Far Eastern demand for
cotton goods will begin to be felt, but
that there will be a greatly increased
demand there is no doubt. Mr.. J. J.
Hill, president of the Great Northern
Railway, in an interview in New York
on Monday. said that the Far East
had taken only about 100000 bales of
cur cotton in the last year, when, as
a matter of fact. ii ought 10 have
taken 100000. Mr.. Hill is posted on
the cotton situation so far as the Far
East is concerned, because his ships
transport the most of the cotton which
goes TO that part of the world.
We do not believe the movement
that was inaugurated in New York a
few days ago to hold cotton through
the agency of trustees will come to
anything. but there is no doubt that
the cotton will be held for better
prices. The farmers in whose hands
the bulk of the Gotten is are able to
hold it. II may he that much of the
Gotten that is held by country mer-
chants will have TO be marketed in
the very near future, because, as a
rule, they are overloaded, but that is
not the case with the farmers. The
most of them have sold enough cotton
to meet all their obligations and to
carry on their plantations during the
present year. and they have the cour-
age to abide by the policy they have
adopted.
We pointed out a few days ago that
the negro tenant farmers, and about
all OF the white tenant farmers had
sold their cotton at profitable prices.
and consequently were in a better con-
dition financially than they have been
in many years. 1t is only the large
farmers and country merchants who
have cotton. 1t is a safe conclusion,
therefore, that the quantity of cotton
that will be sold bafore there is a
very substantial advance in the price
Of it will be small.

, TROUBLE AHEAD FOR =
, The REPUBLICAN PARTY. .
20 ~>o%&~&~~~e~~~S
(AtIanta Cons.itution.l


The evidences of trouble ahead for
the republican party are many and
manifold. During the next four years
that party is to have to face problems
calculated to make many tried and
true old leader wish his party was
outside the breastworks rather than
holding full responsibility for legisla-
tlon-or for the lack of it.
Distinctly the party Of the protected
trusts ard the great corporation inter-
ests favored by its legislation, the G.
o. P. has fallen heir to the control of
things at time calling loudly for
tariff revision and corporation control.
The sponsibility resulting from these
conditions would not be light under
any circumstances; with Theodore
Roosevelt at the helm, and by mis- own
right, the old s;and-paS leaders must
be forgiven if they take rather
gloomy view OF the outlook.
Of the unrest of the people in the
face of existing conditions, there can
be no question. In consequence, the
old leaders are by no means so GER
tain Of their ability 10 control the
man in the white house as they have
been during the past three years, and
there are good and sufficient reasons
for their doubts. Then. too. they see
strong disposition on the part OF
certain ambitious republicans to take
advantage Of TIE existing popular
dissatisfaction, and willingness to
fGment such dissatisfaction 10 their
own ends.
The upturning of corporate control
CT the republican party in Wisconsin
iG bur one of several manifestations
on this line. Governor Cummins got
= lot of support for q similar crusade
in Iowa, but he proved fash in the
pan, not having the fighting capacity
of La Toilette In Minnesota, too, the
clouds are gathering. Governor Van
San: is manifesting a strong desire to
to himself some of the
usufruot from the Northern Merger
case, which was of his doing, even if
the country was asked 10 give al the
credit to President Roosevelt. Gov
ernor Van SAINT has announced his
candidacy for the senate against Mr..
Clapp the present incumbent. and he
Iaakes his canvass on an anti-corpOra-
ton platform.
In consequence, Mr. Clapp is in
trouble. But he is going to have
many com paniOns in trouble among
his republican brethren in the near
future. He wiz net be lonely
