Hard on the Hog.

The American hog has virulent
enemy in the editor of paper at
Big Springs, Texas, who proceeds to
roast the great mortgage-lifter n the
following caustio fashion: The hog
is the dadblamedest, split-hoofed,
long-suouted, busybody animal we
ever saw. He can make fellow
madden than other animals that infest
the premises. He will always squeal
and muddy your pants when he
knows you are trying to feed him.
He will get in your garden through
q knothole aud destroy enough pro.
duce in three minutes to feed your
wife and children for three months.
He will pay no attention to a wide
open gate, where you want him to
go through, but will shovel out seve-
raj cubic yards of dirt to make hole
into place you don't want him to
90. He is the biggest nuisance and
most profitable on the farm. You
will never know the trouble and
pleasure of life until you raise hogs.
They are bother and vexation to
the spirit of man, while they live,
but bring Joy and contentment to
the soul of man, when they die at
hog killing time.

"Pay Your Honest Debts"

Credit is an awful thing, one that
has wrecked many mans life and
welfare. 1t is very strange how a
man can expect to have the conf
dence of his fellow. men, and at the
same time have accounts running
with most every business man in the
town in which he lives. This is not
right, and Just, and should not be
the case. If the whole business
world could be put on strictly cash
basis, think how much better off
everyone would be, how much happi-
ness it would mean to all. This
would be, indeed, a different world.
We often hear the statement
made that the world is growing bet
ter and the people wiser each day.
Statistics go to show that the relig-
ious world is on the increase, and
from all accounts one would be COM
PEELED to believe each generation that
comes along is growing wiser
than the preceding generations, but
this is not altogether true in every
respect. The thought of "doing
some one before some one does you"
has entered the minds of this gene
ration and it seems to have strong
hold upon them, even in most every
branch of life. Some have grown
wiser by perfecting plans by which
to shirk their duties, while others
have grown exceedingly wise in
learning how TO dodge a bill COL
lector, and if by chance the collector
"happens upon him." he has grown
80 wise that he knows his hard-luok
tale off by heart, which would almost
bring tears to the eyes.
We sincerely hope that things will
change this year and they ought to,
especially in the Southland, where
on every hand you will find pros
perity, which surely enables all a
chance to get out of debt. So if you
owe an honest debt, pay it; do not
put it off any longer. Every one will
think great deal more of you for
doing so. "Pay your honest debts. :"

Beverages Turkey Story.

Senator Beverage desired to illus
trate strongly the force of habit.
"In Sullivan, where I spent my
boyhood," he said, "there was a
physician whom everybody liked a
hard working, modest, absent minded
man.
"The physician was the guest of
honor one thanksgiving at the house
of leading citizen, and when the
gay assemblage entered the dining
room the leading citizen said to him /:
"tNow, doctor, on account of
your surgical skill, I'll ask you to
carve. That bird is twenty-four
FOUNDER, and yet he is as young and
tender as spring pullet. None but
you could do justice to him.
"The physician, his mind on other
things, smiled absently, took the
head of the table, raised the knife
and made deep incision in the
breast of the turkey.
"Tben he frowned, rummaged in
his pocket and brought out some alb
sorbent cotton, roll of bandages
and paper of pins, and with these he
proceeded to dress and bind up the
wound he had made.
"The guests were stricken dumb.
They looked on in utter amazement.
The doctor inserted the last pin and
patted the neat dressing he had
made. Then he looked up and
smiled.
"tAnd now," he said, slet us hope
that in a week, with care, our patient
will be on his feet again. '"-W ASH

They Won't Stick.

A member of another union while talk
ing to 2 member OF our union a few days
ago, said that he was afraid that the
farmers wouldn't stick after they had
met and put price on their cotton.
(Here, Brother Stribling takes a few
drops of tnis camphor. Maybe that will
keep you from Throwing np.")
No, 'they won't stick" Now, wasn't
that fellow playing some sweet music,
after knowing that cotton went from
seven cents to ten and half in July of
the same yearP And didn't he know
that our man knew that this rise in the
price was brought about by the farmers
"a stickin'P"
Say, Colonel. don't you think you could
cut the double shuttle" after. that fell
lows music, when you remember that
the union met at Texarkana last Sep
tember and put the price of eleven cents
on their cotton and that standing shoul-
der to shoulder they are still getting that
price? Poor fellow, we don't know what
impression he wanted to make on our
man, but the kind that he did make was
that member that is always talking
about the other fellow not sticking, is
always the very first man to kick out of
the harness when things don't go to
please him. Now, from what we can
learn this fellow has listened so much to
the man that don't belong to the union,
till he is not only real bilious, but he has
even caught the "itch." So we would
advise hin to stay away from town, get
out of the union for awhile, and take his
dues and get him box of Farmers Un-
ion Pills and take three after each meal,
thereby gotting his stomach right. Also
get a box of Farmers Union Salve aud
give himself good greasing and quit
scratching 80 much in company, and when
he is we'll of the above diseases let him
90 back to his union and try and be a
man.
Our union met last Saturday evening,
the 2lst. and priced our cotton, and now
If the other unions don't want our price,
just watch us stay by the price they set,
first, last and all the time.

Mother Burned With six Children.

His wife and six children dead, his
home destroyed, himself badly, if not
fatally, burned, is the fate of Solo
mon Gobba, whose residence was on
the outskirts of Lafayette, Ind.
Gobba was in the yard on July Z,
when he saw the flames coming from
the upper part of the house. He
called his wife and they together
rushed up the stairs to awaken the
children. Both were overcome by
smoke.
Gobba managed to crawl to the
window, and in an effort to raise it
fell to the ground, sustaining painful
injuries, while the mother and six
children perished in the flames.
Four of the little ones were cre-
mated outright and the others suffo-
Gated. Elsie, aged IA, was at a
neighbor's home for the night and so
escaped.

at least 100 persons had been killed,
and that Admiral Boaklwisheff is

no firing has been done up to the
time of this dispatch. "
The assertion is made that mutt

The fighting was severe, but the
mutineers were eventually dislodged

Crop Liars and Cotton Report Leaks.

Crop Liars and Cotton Report Leaks.
All along we have been doubling that
it was true that quite number of our
cotton planters had sold their crops of
cotton before they had planted them,
atshad, since selling out, been engaging
themselves to aid the gang of crop liars.
But after some close observation and in
vestigations by others we are forced to
admit that there are more Of orr cotton
planters engaged in this very rotten and
demoralizing work than we had any idea
of.
This Is a statement coming from one
of the most conservative men in one of
B the last cotton cOuDtes in South Caro-
I linl Last week we met company of
three special cotton crop reporters going
all about over our county making up a
Especial cotton crop report. One of these
men was half breed cotton buyer and
Ucotton planter, one was lawyer that is
Hoftentimes engaged to work on the shady
3side of lawsuits, and the other was real
Jolly drummer who was having good
time, but had never been in cotton in
thny way before. This special agent
browd reported this county's crop of cot
ton at S73 and two weeks earlier, when
Rvery farmer in the county knows the
crop to be two weeks later, and that the
hrge sappy growth of stalk is at the ex-
4ense of the crop of fruit.
Another regular cotton crop reporter
this same county is the drunken son
IA wealthy business man of the city,
ho sent his son out to the country for
Eeformatory purposes This reformed
pm thinks himself fine full ledged
HStton planter and is endorsed by the

fhas ssaiIyIns Farmer,

We have before us great stacks of
newspapers aud letters from all over
every cotton State in the South. A glance
over the news from the cotton fields of
the south, as written by the real farmer
himself, is very encouraging, indeed, an
to the determination of farmers to come
together and take charge of their own
affairs. @ H
In our sister State, Georgia, we note
that they nave now in the Farmers
Union over $4,000 members, and they
have just begun in earnest, and their
meetings, already published, number, for
August, 72 different places. This educa-
tional campaign on the Farmers Union
is now on In earnest in all the cotton
,xStates. These farmers have gone into
ffne all over the cotton territory in sys-
tematic way that bids fair to create
something like real revolution in the
management of our whole cotton inter
ests.
From every State comes the glorious
news of large, enthusiastic meetings and
the springing up of farmers cotton
warehouses in all the cotton States. The
cotton farmers have stopped digging in
the fields for while and are digging
and throwing their Notifications ready
to defend their interests.
The cotton farmer has learned to
watch both the bunghole and the spigot
of his business. He no longer con-
tinues to pour in the good stuff at the
bupghole and never look out for the
leak at the spigot. The Farmers Union
man of to-day has been educated up to
the point where he can understand that
there are two important features of his
business-one is to produce good crops
and the other Is to get good prices for
that good crop.
Where is the good of producing good
crops if the good crops bring to the far
mer actually less money and profits than
poor crops have donep The unorganized
cotton farmers have for years been
spreading before the cotton tradesmen
and spectators of the world great and
grand feast, while cotton growers them
selves have stood around this festal table
with gags in their own mouths, placed
there by each other.
Farmers. will you ever learn the les
son-the one most important lesson be-
fore you-that if ever there Is anything
done for the interest of the farmers, that
farmers themselves must help each otherP
