but no definite date had been set for
the wedding. Mr.. Dahnke arrived
here Friday morning, and to surprise
their friends, who expected the event

gentleman, who since his residence in
Union City has won the confidence
and esteem Of the people Of his chosen
city. He is the youngest son of Mrs.
Katharine Kaufman of here.

Airship at Tennessee State Fair.

Probably the greatest scientific
success of the twentieth century is
the navigation of the air. Many
aeronauts have achieved more or
less distinction in this line, but it
has remained for Roy Knabenshue
to win the appellation of king OF
the Air. he having made flights
that have surpassed in practicable
ity all competitors and received the
highest appreciation of the public
and press wherever he has appeared.
With monster ship under perfect
control, he guides it with the great
est ease, going wherever his fancy
leads him, and alighting at any
point desired. His flights have been
witnessed this season by many
thousands of people at different
State Fairs and other gatherings,
and in every instance he has been
signally successful, making the 6g-
ure s as skillfully as an accom-
plished skater.
The Tennessee State Fair Asso-
citation has, at very large expense,
engaged the services of Mr.. Knab-
enshue, who will make his first
flight at the State Fair on the after
noon of October 9. The Associa-
ton is determined to provide the
very best attractions for the visit
ors to the Fair, and for the first
time in the history of Tennessee,
an airship will be seen within its
borders Mr.. Knabenshue, start
ing from the fair grounds, will cir.
Gle over Cum berland Park; the State
capitol. where he will make a call
on the State officials; then over the
government and city buildings and
skyscrapers, returning to the
grounds a nd descending at he
point from which he made his as
cension. He has the highest in
dorsement OF the officials of every
fair he has visited. and has been
pronounced the principal attraction
at each of these.

colossal institution, employing over
300 people. All railroads will give

with bodies whose interests are
mutual. The wheat raisers must
fix their prices, the corn growers
should alone regulate what they
propose to ask for corn, and so on
throughout all the varied crops,
each specialinterest to consider its
own affairs. Then may these com
bine into an organization for their
general good.
Into these bodies no politics
must come. No man should be
allowed to use his office as a STEP
ping stone to political preferment.
The minute that takes place the
organization has driven nail in
its coffin. Allow no man to go to
the Legislature or to Congress la
beled by the organization. As an
individual he may do as he pleases,
but do not handicap your organ
ization with politics. That is the
ultima thule of bad policy. With
out entangling alliances you have
the sum bonum of sound policy
and good judgment.

Carmack is All Right.

Senator K. W. Carmack was in
Nashville for a short time Monday
night, en- route from Columbia to
Memphis, where he is going on
private business. The attention
of Senator Carmack was called to
the report sent out from Knox
vile to the effect that there was
an effort being made to form a
combination, having for its pur-
pose the defeat of ex. Gov. Taylor
for the United States Senate be-
fore the next Legislature. Com
menting on the report Senator
Carmack made the following en-
phatic statement:
81 think it is a belated piece of
dog-day journalism; that it never
had foundation in fact. That
Gov. Taylor will be elected Sen
ator is as certain as that there
will be Democratic legislature,

FARMERS ORGANIZING.

ciety of Equity was organized Al

by men engaged in agriculture,
and the watchword was the Farm.
ers to the Front"
1t looks like there are many rea
sons why the farmers should or
ganize, the m ost important OF
which is the fact that almost every
other vocation or pursuit has its
association of business men and
professional interests, and many
Of these are amalgamated into i'm
mense corporations. The capital
lists and manufacturers are organ
lied and they have their commu-
nifty of interests; the mechanics and
laborers are organized and they
have their federation. The rail
road corporations have an impen-
etrable system. The professional
men have an exhaustive code of
ethics. And the farmers-the men
upon whom every other human
depends for sustenance-are dis
banded and helpless. The man in
the pit says II will give you SO
much for your produce, and the
farmer has no alternative. The
result is, the broker buys at a.
minimum price and sells to the
consumer at the maximum. When
we say the broker we mean the
man on change and not the local
dealer. The latter is compelled to
content himself with o narrow
profit, sometimes no profit at all.
1t is the unequal advantage be-
tween the extreme interests that
forms the basis of the trouble.
One lives by the sweat of his brow
and the other by his wits. 1t is
true that the principle of supply
and demand ultimately governs
the price of products, but the evil
comes in the means used to reach
the level.
The solution of the question lies
solely, we may say, in self protec-
ton, and no farmer can protect
himself single handed against the
united interests of the pit kings.
Congress and Legislatures cannot
regulate these things without vio-
lation Of constitutional liberties.
Hence the only alternative is
organization and CO operation.
Natural means are to be used first
before resorting to law making
bodies. If you do not try to help
yourself, how can you expect 9TH
ers to help you. Self preserva-
ton is the first law, and that is true
of classes and pursuits.
Then it is apparent that the
farmers should organize. Til O
next question is how.
Special interests should have
separate organizations. For in
stance, in the same way that the
Southern Cotton Growers Asso.
citation is formed for the protec-
ton of cotton producers, so should
the wheat raisers get together and
form a special organization, like
wise corn, hay, truck and fruit
growers. These may combine in.
to a general organization of all the
farming interests, but to accom-
plish results work must begin
