THE UNWRITTEN LAW.

In answer to query from sub
scriber concerning the "unwritter
law" the Lexington Herald says:
II the .unwritten law" applies
at all Its provisions ought to be
known and those who act in ac-
cordance with its provisions
ought to be immune from pun
ishment or need of defense. AS
IL Is today a man or woman Graz
ed by passion, Jealousy. whisky,
or drugs, may slay one who has
been guilty of no fault, Destroy
ing thereby not only the life of
the victim but the reputation OF
the living, and, appealing to the
ton from punishment because
OF a belief that there had been
wrong done. IL we are to con-
tinue to have the constant APP
peals to the "unwritten law"
with different verdicts by differ
ent juries, ii were better to
have a definite statute that he
who has reasonable ground to
believe, and does believe, that
one who is bound by moral law
to be true has been false, has
the right to kill that one or the
participant In that dereliction
from virtue.
There are several points in the
foregoing worthy Oh attention ant
not the least is the common mis-
take made by the editor In reference
to the "unwritten law" itself. He
would have Its limitations defined IN
a statute because OF Constant ap-
peals to the 'unwritten law with
different verdicts by different ju.
ries."
II the esteemed editor of the Her.
aid had begun his article by defin-
Ing the "unwritten law" he would
have saved himself this conclusion.
since the "unwritten law" is simply
public sentiment crystallized in the
return of a jury; and what that sent
iment is. its extent and manner of
must depend on the char
acter Of the jury. the section they
represent, the circumstances OF the
case and the lawyers for the defense.
The Herald, by way of introduce
lion to the conclusion reached, refers
10 the Birdsong case, the defendant
In which. a woman. was sentenced
Tor manslaughter for shooting a GER
ain DR.. Butler, who slandered her.
The editor said the mans death was
|usfified and had he been on the jury
ae would have acquitted the woman.
Therein the editor proves himself
luman and lovable. chivalrous
gentleman of the Blue Grass. but
gain be makes the mistake. also too
'ommon. of substituting the emo
ional functions for those purely In

|, If other trades, consumers Of cotton
and their combinations do not choose
ito yield to our proposition for fair
dealing gracefully, about all that far
mers have TO do iii order to carry
their aide along is to apply the meth
dds to our farmers business that other
trades have done in order to win the
profits out of our Affirming business.
There is no new departure in this
proposition of the Farmers Union.
This same practice has been in use by
cotton spectators and other combina-
tions for many years.
The remedy is here: Instead Of far
merS comforting with buyers Of cotton
about fixing the price for cotton, the
growers of cotton should confer with
each other. The growers Of cotton
cannot expect of the buyers to get any
other news about crops or the cotton
market excepting that news that is in
his favor which will always bear down
the market news.
Manufacturers 10 not go to the far
mer (who is the consumer Of his food)
to ask him to help him get better
price for his goods. Then who on
earth should the farmer go to the con-
sumer or the buyers Of cotton to get
him to price the farmers products9 Z
Farmers, quit acting the fool and put
up your own warehouses, bulk your
cotton in your own houses, set your
own figures on your stuff, make your
cotton warehouses your clearing hous-
es and the trade will come to you.

The Story Of the Founder of the
Equitable.

When we are far enough away from
the recent life-insurance scandals to
see facts in their right relations, we
will probably under stand that Henry
Baldwin Hyde, founder Of the Equit-
able, sowed most of the seed which
bore such corrupt fruit. Mr.. Burton
]. Hendirck, in the Story Of Life
Insurance that appears in July Nc
Clure's, tells of Mr.. Hyde''s life in
dramatic detail. He shows how Hyde
inherited the love for life-insWancc
from his father, Henry Hazen Hyde,
how he obtained small position in
the Mutual Life at that time know to
be far from honest in it's methods Of
business, and was discharged because
he had planned to form company
to take up business that the Mutual
could not handle, setting up the Equit
able Life-Assurancc Company with
nothing but a chair table and n
box of cigars as his capital (the
chairs and the table, i'll fact, having
been borrowed). It is told how he
proceeded, by developing the agency
side of the business, to form "not
the best but the biggest insurance
company in the world," planying fast
and loose with the company's finan-
ces and getting for himself all kinds
of remuneration by so-callcd contracts
and commissions. Mr.. Hendrick s de-
scription of Hyde and his methods is
interesting: "Many the time he has
stalked into his board room with
practically every member Of his Fin
ance Committee against him. At the
sight Of that huge frame and scar
ching eye, however, tlreir opposition

Pricing Your Own Wares.

Farmers know too much about how
to produce large crops of cotton and
too little about how to get a price for
their money crop after it is made.
What does it profit or benefit the far
mer to make fine crop if some other
crowd gets all the profits9
This teaching of one-sided cduca-
tion of.the farmer is all wrong; most
any common clod hopper or free neg
TO can make profitable crop of
cotton, but it takes entirely differ
cnt management to place this cotton
upon the market in way so as turn
these profits into the pockets Of the
producer instead Of the Golfers Of
those who toll not but who does know
how to spin the profit out Of the far
mers' hands into their own.
Most any farmers son knows more
about gathering chestnuts than to go
up the tree and shake them down un-
less he has partner on the ground
to keep the hogs from gathering in
the products of his labor.
We repeat again here, that our far
mers, morganized, Independently and
alone, can produce good crop of cot
ton, but it takes the combined efforts
of thousands Of cotton farmers to
make sure Of good price for that
cotton. t.,

warehouse seems to have stirred up no
little opposition by that t>class Of men
that have always made their jack by
supplying the farmers with that bust
ness management of the farmers own
affairs that counts for loss or gain.
Something has been going the rounds
about the price of cement at $1.S5 be-
ing too low, which would render our
plans out of reason, &c. o.
Well, now just put up the price Of
cement to $500 per barrel, if you
please, which puts the bought supplies
for Il one section warehouse at the cX-
tremcly low cost Of $400.
Now, it must be very trifling,
good d.for-nothing farmers organiza-
ton that could not put up $500 cash
to start up such an enterprise as this,
that means so much in protective
way to the cotton producers!
Farmers, do not let this old gang
rattle you; go ahead with your ware
house organizations. Let those that
can, put up the cash for the bought
stuff, and those that cannot put up
the cash work their shares which
should be made not over $500 each.

The Trucking Farmer.

This disgraceful habit of farmers
trucking and catering around after
others to attend to the farmer" own
business is as old as the hills and as
shameful as it is old. If the farming
class were weak in numbers, wealth
and their natural advantages, there
might be some excuse for farmers to
be everlasting trucking around after
some other set of men to help them.
But what is the real status of the
wealth, natural gifts of the farmers,
calling. and his dormant numerical
power? Go to the statistical record
and you will see that the farmers of
our country not only outnumbcr all
others III his voting powers, but he
also has in his farming business about
four times the amount Of wealth that
there is engaged in all our manufac-
turing interest combined!
1t always did make me hot in the
collar to see great giant at school
play pleading to the small boy to give
him room when his natural gifts were
of more power-properly used-than
two small boys.
But for the lack of proper training
pluck and energy these giants are like
the farmers class-for the lack Of
training they do not know how to use
their natural gifts of power.
