The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-09-26

cotton has gone slowly but steadily
nm. till it has regained its throne and
is again king, with ten-cent crown
on it's hoary head.
Whoever heard of cotton gong up
in the spring-time when nearly hal1
the crop. or about six million bales
were in the hands of those who pro-
duced it?
Again, see what has already been
done by Mr.. Secretary Cheatham,
the Marshal Ney of Hon. HarVle
Jordan. He has uncovered the most
damnable fraud that has ever been
practiced on any people, the bullmg
or bearing of the Government cotton
reports to suit the purposes of men
who have sought and have found un-
holy means to rob you and me OF that
which should go to our wives and 1T
tie ones. Already he has the scalps
of Irwin Holmes and John Hyde IN
his belt. and ere this work is complete
the scalp of him who has been to the
American farmer what Judas was
to his Master and Saviour, will also
find it's mates.
This and a great deal more mas
been done, and by an incomplete or
ganization. Now in the name of all
that is just and holy, what could be
done if farmers were as thoroughly
organized as their interest demands
All will admit that the Farmers
Alliance could have done great
work years ago had it remained clear
of politics; now the blunder will not
again occur. Men have seen their
error and will ever hereafter steer
clear of politics.
Therefore, if you have prejudice.
rid yourself of it and come out and
help to earn the fruits of which you
will partake when the harvest is
ready. ". +. L.

RENTER AND TENANT.
Extreme Statements Are Not Justified
and Should Not be Published.

Messrs. Editors: / have read with
disgust the very radical description
of tenant life written by Ellis, of
Halifax, and the equally radical an
swer of some one styling himself
Rustic" of Iredell.
I am unable to see any good that
can come to any one from such ex
treme utterances and exaggeration.
The writer of this has some knowl-
edge of existing conditions in this
State from the mountains to the sea,
and knows that neither of the condi-
tions spoken of in the articles men
toned exist, to any extent, If at all.
They are rare.
In the east tenants either work
land on halves, using the landlords
team and implements, or on one
fourth, using their own team and i'm
Elements; and while they might in
many instances do better, they are
generally doing very we'll. and those
working on halves are soon able to
buy team and land for themselves.
Our tenants have all the poultry,
hogs and cattle they want. Those
| working the landlords team use
them to get their fire wood, go to
mill, to church, and on other er-
rands. They have them to cultivate
their gardens, melons, etc., which are
given them free of rent. When a
tenant goes to town or to church he
is well dressed and very respectable
in appearance. They are treated we'll
by their landlords and, in turn, are
usually obliging to them.
I should be afraid to live in COM
munity where such a state of things
as is reported by these men exist. ]
would expect to be shot from ambush
or burnt out every night.
These men could certainly do bet
ter than to use their talents to ar
ray class against class; if not, they
had better be silent.

SUCCESS OF THE COTTON ASSO-
CATION.

Do.
Messrs. Editors Farmers of Leno1r
and adjoining counties are fortunate
in having a good clean newspaper to
help them at all times in any lauda-
BILE purpose. The Kinston Free Press
is our friend, and has shown itself
to be ever ready to serve us. This
fact will be admitted by all who have
read an editorial which appeared III
that paper some time since. Let US
extract from it as follows:
1T should be apparent to all rea-
soning farmers by this time that the
future prosperity of the craft is
bound up in the efficiency of agricul-
ture."
Again let us extract from the same
article referring to the work of the
Southern Cotton Association:
"Now, are the farmers going to
profit by this lesson and join more
perfect union for control OF their
destinies in the future? Are they
going to act as a unit in the manage
ment of their affairs in the future or
are they going to act each man for
himself and the Wall Street or some
other devil for the whole crowd !
These are the questions which now
confront thinking farmers"
1t has been said, and with some
truth. that farmers were hard to Or
ganize that they would not stand to-
getber. Men. great and small, have
given their time and means for that
purpose only to reap a lamentable
failure.
However, eff at first we won't sue
ceed, let us sue right on till we &c
/ succeed"
The merchant, the lawyer, the doc
tor. the preacher and all honorable
| men of all vocations are our fellow
men and bear us no feeling othe1
than the very kindest. We shoulc
love them, we should not look or
them with distrust. There are in al
classes men who would bring calam
ity on all save themselves; let us be
ware of them.
We have had ample proof of th'
necessity for, and wisdom in, organl
zation in the past few months. MINI
months ago a cloud began to hove
over the homes of cotton planters; i
thickened, it grew denser, an impene
trable pail of woe hung all over thl
land of ours; it was as dark as mid
night in Egypt. Hover, that clou'
did not come with thunder bolts O
lightning flashes, for it was not God
handiwork, but, wasconceived planne'
and sent on it's hellish mission by tn
well-chosen angels of his Satani
Majesty.
But, Mr.. Editor, away back unde
that cloud we heard voices-th
coarse, grating voice of that arc
gambler and great destroyer, Thee
Price, and his horde of hungry, heart
less henchmen; and they said yo7
shall have no more than six cent
per pound for your cotton. Ye
other voices were heard: the low
timid, chirping voice of a "Doubtin
Thomas" and he said: owe can d
nothing; we cannot prevail agains
the great power which is arraye
against US; we can only act the par
of a water spaniel as he cringe
meath the cruel whip of his irat
master"
But thank Godl other voices wer
heard-the voice of Judge Williams

young highwaymen, who are on trial in
the criminal court ON charge of hold
ing up and robblng b. NJ. Brazeal, after
being out all the afternoon, retired last
night without having reached verdict.
This Is the first case In which John
Blackstoek has been tried. but Latham
has been given thirty-fve years in the
penitentiary on a charge of robbing E..
|. Simon.
Latham was placed on the stand yes
terday morning and swore that he had
not written the letter In which he is said
to have made a confession. lie acknowl-
edged having signed a letter which was
handed to him, but stated that he did
not read it, and that 1t was not read to
him. He denied having anything to do
with the holdup of MIR. Brazeal, declaring
that he was not in the vicinity of the
robbery that night.
Detective Sam Hamilton was placed on
the stand. and again testified that the
letter had been read to Latham and that
he was aware of the contents when he
signed 1t.

DECISIVE VICTORY
Citizens VIII Make Great Saw
ing on Water
IS END OF LONG FIGHT
Former Mayor Drennen Believes the
City Should Go a Step Further
and Fix the Rates for
Water.
is END OF LONG FIGHT

The decision of the supreme court In Ia
vor of the city, in the case Of the Biz
mingham Water Works company VS.. the
city of Birmingham. which was an appeal
from the decision of the city court of
Birmingham, was victory for City At
torney Edward D. Smith, and will save
the citizens several thousands of dollars
annually it is said.
ly pleased with the decision, but says that
he is not surprised. Eight years ago he
made a minority report to the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen. stating that the
Water Works company was not living up
to their contract to supply the city with
pure and wholesome water. The city won
out after a long fight, and filtration plants
were installed at an expense of 100000.
He later took up the matter of the high
rates the people were being charged for
water, believing that it was Illegal to
make an extra charge for sprinkling. He
was upheld in this view by City Attorney
Smith, and by test case they began the
fight which ended last Tuesday in the de-
cision handed down by the supreme court
Mr., Drennen is delighted with the sue
cess of the fight he started, and believes
the city should go step further ana NIX
the charges for water. He believes that
the Board of Aldermen has the legal right
to do this, and thinks 1t should file suit
in order that test case might be made
of 1t.
City Attorney Smith believes that the
city has gained a decisive victory and
that the citizens of Birmingham will now
receive the privileges they are entitled to
in the consumption of water
As a result of the decision of the SUI
preme court, the citizens of Birmingham
will no longer be charged meter rates
for sprinkling their lawns or flower gar
dens; reception halls shall not be counted
as rooms in fixing the rates on dwellings,
consent of the consumers; the Water
Works company can no longer make a
private contract for meters on residences
If that contract amounts to a price higher
than the fiat rate; rates for more than
one dwelling cannot be charged in cases
where two or more families are living in
the same house; meter rates cannot be
charged to persons whose residences were
outside the city limits when the contract
was made IL they have since come into the

Adjournment
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1905-06-15

The third days session of the eighth an
nual convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America, District No. 90 yester-
day was held behind closed doors.
The convention convened at 1:SO p. m.
in the knights of Columbus hall, and af-
ter the committee on officers reports
had made its report, the body went into
executive session.
The motion to go into executive session
was made by Delegate Adam Pow, and
it was adopted without a dissenting vote.
After celebrating for several hours over
the report of the committee on resolutions
and other committees the convention adj
journed to meet again this morning at
o clock. Today's session will probably
be behind closed doors.
It is understood that the convention has
not yet taken up the report of the scale
committee. This will probably be reached
today, and the indications are that the
discussions over this matter will be long
drawn out.
The committee on officers reports
praised very highly the annual report pre-
scented to the convention by President Ed
Flynn Secretary and Treasurer ]. l..

CANADIAN HOLINESS MINISTER
ARGUES WITH JUDGE FEAGlN.
THE CITY CODE AND THE BIBLE.
JUDGE LECTURES PREACHER.

Because he refused to move on when
told to do so by Officers Johnston and
Burke, John Edward Smith, street
preacher, was arrested and taken before
Judge Feagin yesterday afternoon A
charge of blocking the streets was placed
against him and he was lodged in the
city Jail to await trial today.
When brought before Judge Feagin,
Smith, who says he is from Canada and Is
% years of age opened small Bible
which he carries with him and argued
that scriptures gave him authority to
preach in the highways and hedges. Judge
Feagin called for the city code and taking
a text therefrom locked horns, so to
speak, with the young Canadian on the
point of evangelical doctrine.
The Judge argued that preaching on the
street was commendable, but directing the
preacher to his own book he pointed to
the command of Christ when he told his
followers to subject themselves to the
laws of the land.
Smith charged in a spirit of apparent
antagonism that the Salvation army was
allowed to preach on the streets without
molestation.
Yes" replied the judge, but if they
block the streets and are told to move
they obey at once. Preaching on the street
is no crime, but 1t is against the law
of this town to block the street and re-
fuse to move when ordered to do So"
1.-THE followers of Christ in olden times
were cast into prison and prosecuted for
His sake" said the Canadian preacher,
land l glory in this persecution which
likens me unto Him."
you want to go to Jail then, do your"
replied Judge Feagin.
II am ready to go IL that is your de-
cision."
"Officer, put this man in jail. There he
will have fine opportunity to preach,
and in one of the most fruitful fields in
this city. And too, young man, you will
have time and opportunity TO reflect upon
that spirit of gentle submission so kindly
and justly taught by that Christ you
claim to represent"
Smith claims to be of the holiness or
AAf.
