Who Is to Blame For It?

IF farmers do not come together in
the farmers organization and try to
protect their own interest, in their
own way, then it is clear that all that
class of farmers that refuse to organ
ize is the real obstacles in the way Of
building up a strong combination Of
farmers with sufficient strength to
down any and all combinations
against our common interests as far
mers.
If you have joined in with the Far
mers' Union and done your best to
uphold our common interest in OBJ
tanning profitable prices for our pro-
duets, then you will feel good over
this matter whether you have done all
we wish to do or not, for there is great
comfort in knowing that you have
done your duty.

shinney will be as hard as the little
iron, can assure you, will not be any
softer than when you first begun the
experiment. ...... t..
When the hybrid has been formed,
the vines will be- more mxuriant than
the parent plants, and will grow and
thrive on Gland too poor to sprout
cow peas" but Of course, they will
grow better on land that will sprout
COW peas.
The hybrid will not blight and is
not later than the shinney. For hay
it is ahead Of any pea known, but for
early pastures there are other better
peas.
Getting hybrid pea is easy enough.
Nothing on the farm will cross easier,
except melons. Getting a perfect by
brid cotton is vexing and laborious
undertaking. However, think such
thing possible. Plant breeding is one
of the great questions Of the day and
in it is wonderful possibilities.

PAUL JONES' BODY.
Given Sepulchre in Bancroft Hall
Exercises Attended By Nations
Chief Executive.

Reverently attended by the official
head of the nation he loved and serv-
ed so we'll, by the ambassadorial rep
resentatives Of the land in which he
died, by the chief executive Of the
state beneath whose sod his bones Will
find their final rest, by naval repre-
sentatives of the United States and
France, and by thousands Of the men
and women Of the country whose first
admiral he was, the remains Of John
Paul Jones were on Tuesday given
sepulchre in the crypt beneath the
grand marble stairway Of Bancroft
hall, there to rest until the completion
of the chapel in which they are to be
deposited.
It was day that will be long re-
membered in Annapolis. Crowds such
as the ancient capital Of Maryland has
not known for many years, if ever be-
fore, lined the streets and stood ex-
pectantly about the railroad station
long before the train bearing Presl-
dent Roosevelt and his party arrived.
President Roosevelt, accompanied by
Admiral Sands, entered an automobile
and, led by the cavalrymen, the par
ty proceeded to the naval academy.
Early Tuesday morning the casket
containing the remains Of the long
dead admiral had been removed from
the temporary vault in which they
have rested since being brought from
France and deposited in the new ar
mory Of the naval academy. There it
was placed little to the right Of the
centre in front Of the speakers stand.
The oaken casket was quite hidden
from view by Union Jack and up
on it rested two crossed palms,
wreath of green and the sword pre-
sented to the great naval commander
by a king Of France.
Out in the bay, miles distant, but
most of them clearly visible from the
naval academy rode at anchor three
great warships flying the tri-color OF
France-the Admiral Aube, the
Conde and the AIarseilles, first class
cruisers all, under the command Of

This is pleasant reading-an ex-
tract from letter received:
I have read the newspaper clipping
which you inclosed, with much inter-
est, and agree with you most heartily
that we have got to teach our farmers
the Importance Of raising their sup
plies and importing their soil without
going to such heavy expense in buy
ing fertilizers.
As you know, I have been working
very hard along the same line you are
in, trying to organize the farmers and
to try to get a fair price for any pro-
to try to get fair price pfor any pro-
duct which they may have for sale.
So far as I can see, I don't think it
makes so much difference whether this
is accomplished by the Farmers Un-
ion or Southern Cotton association;
what we are trying to do is to i'm
prove the condition of our country
and I bid Gods speed to any organi-
zation that is gotten out on high
plane with this in view.
If ever I can serve you in any way
in the future please do not hesitate to
call upon me and I will do so with
pleasure.
Very respectfully yours,

WOMAN LEAVES HOME.
MIR. johnson Greatly Distressed Over
Wife's Departure Barking Of
Dog and Dream.
Snartanburo journal. 18th.

Spartanburg Journal, 25th.
Mrs. T. W. johnson, age 25 years,
is missing from her home and her hus-
band is greatly distressed because Of
the mysterious disappearance Of his
wife.
Mr.. johnson lives near Motlow' s
Creek church, several miles from
Campobello. On Monday morning he
visited Campobello in search of the
missing woman. though as yet he has
received no information concerning
her whereabouts. While at Campo
bello on Monday he told several par
ties the circumstances Of the dlsap-
pearance of Mrs. johnson, all Of
which are most remarkable.
He says that he and Mrs. johnson
retired at the usual hour Sunday
night and shortly after retiring they
we're disturbed by the barking Of a
dog and acting as though someone
was about the premises. Mr.. john
son says that he got out Of bed and
made an investigation, but could find
no one. He returned to his bed and
soon fell asleep and dreamed a most
distressing dream. When he aWoke
he called to his wife to relate the ter
rible dream he had just had, but to
his utter astonishment and surprise
he found that Mrs. johnson was gone.
He made careful search Of the house
for her, but without success. She had
disappeared complete Thinking,
perhaps, that his wife had gone to the
house Of neighbor for some cause,
though for what reason she left home
in the night he did not know, he call
ed at the homes Of several neighbors
and told them Of the disappearance of
his wife, related the circumstances OF
the barking dog and the dreadful
dream, but no trace Of the missing
woman was found.
Mr.. Johnson is very much Distress
ed over the affair and wishes as much
publicity as possible given to the dis
appearance Of Mrs. johnson. He is
of the opinion that his wife has elop-
ed with another man and it is posi-
BILE that she can be located at some OF
the cotton mills in Spartanburg or
Greenville county.
He describes his wife as being about
25 years of age, five feet three inches
tall, weighs about 13o pounds. She
has brown hair, blue eyes and fair
complexion. He is poor man and II
any one can give him information as
to the whereabouts Of his wife he will
feel grateful. He says he has NO
money to spend in trying to locate
her and invites newspaper publlca-
ton Of her disappearance with the
hope Of locating her. His address is

That Chinese Boycott Hammer.

That Chinese Boycott Hammer.
The cotton bear element is now cir
culating the news that all American
spinners, that supply the heavy cot
ton goods trade. to China, are now
turning their attention to finer goods,
and, in consequence Of this, are using
only about half the amount Of cotton
they formerly used in this Chinese
trade. Consumers and Spectators are
using this fact to hammer down prices
when, in reality, it makes little or
no difference whether England or
America makes the cloth for the Chi
nese trade; in either case American
cotton will have to be considered in
this thing just the same. Really, we
want, some Of our smart cotton men
to tell US the difference about who
makes the cotton goods if our Ameri-
can cotton has to be considered in the
supply Of the raw material for this
Chinese shirt. Now, if these cotton
bears will show us that these China
men are to reduce the length of their
shirts or 60 without kimonas, then
there might be some logical reason for
producers to become alarmed, but 50
long as Chinese babies and others are
born naked this American cotton will
have to be considered as constituting
about eight-tenths Of the raw material
that goes into their clothing, and we
are in doubt as to whether it makes
very much difference as to who makes
the cloth.
