Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 15.-PreSi.
dent D. J. Neill, Of the Farmers
Union, has issued an address to the
Farmers Union, in which he urges
them to stand for minimum OF 10
cents. He detailed his trip to Allan
ta, andSaid the spinner was made to un-
derStand that if the farmers mortgag-
ed or sold a crop he did not own he was
sent to the penitentiary, yet on the
exchanges they could sell thousands,
nay, millions of bales they never did
own and never expect to own, and
bankrupt the country, yet it was no
crime. He says:
Now, my frien IS, the exchanges
are hard pressed. They have sold
your cotton even before it was planted.
They cannot buy the cotton and are
trying to borrow it. This is an en-
deavor to get possession of your cotton

hind which they will fight the Farm

Makes Complaint Against Rail

Grenada, Miss, Oct. 1907.
Editor Sentinel: Some of the mer-
chants of Grenada are experiencing
not only much Inconvenience but
actual loss of sales, in endeavoring to
get freight out Of the depot in this
city. Even after the freight bill IS
paid il is sometimes several days be-
fore the freight can be gotten out.
At this writing, there is freight at
the depot here that has Ceen there
since October Ia, and still the railroad
is not ready to deliver it. The matter
of dealing with the railroad is very
onesided proposition. Had freight
been there for the time above referred
to and the railroad been ready to de-
liverit the owner would have been
required to pay storage had it not
been moved. They hold the public up
to a strict line of their regulations
still their pleasure and convenience
must be awaited to do anything.
Will be glad to have you publish this.
Maybe little "airing"i will help the
general public. A newspaper owes
it to the community to air matters OF
general interest. Very truly,

large editions aggregating 1000

Why Men Fail in Business.

(By w. G. Hunter, in Chicago Tri-
bune.)
Lcok over the history Of the thou
sands who have failed in business and
you will find in nearly every instance
the failure was because Of the ina
bility to say no"
People come to us under various
guises and ask us to do things which
in our better Judgment we are loath
to do, and too many of US haven't the
backbone to say no"
We are led to invest in mining
stocks and to embark in precariouk
enterprises because we haven't the
ability to say no"
There is another class of people
who are after us to join in PLEASURES
the foregoing of which would be the
better for us mentally and physically
1t is rarely that man gees off by
himself and deliberately gets drunk.
The lone drunk usually is the reSuh
of some deep sorrow or sudden tnan-
cial blow. A man who gets drUuE
generally does so because he hasn't
the ability to say no when his bibu-
low friends press him to take driRk.
The ability to say into refrain
from going with the crowd to decline
to go down the stream, more than any
other one thing is the mark ola MAI
of strong character. Such man rs

may feel ashamed. He may find it
hard to withstand the gibeS and jeeH
