1 houses and buying where we can get the best value for our money and oth- CT thilss of this nature. Really. it is our duty to saFe everything We can in ihe purchase of goods and everything We can in what we get for our raw products. but as the Guide has repeat. ediy atsei, this relief is only tempo ray. It is impossible to be otherwise
 As long as a favored few own and control the machinery which turns the raw material into the finished product. we need never look for permanent re- lief
 The temporary relief we are getting out of higher prices for products is at present q great blessing. one for which we should ever praise the Farmers Union. because millions upon millions of dollars have been saved our people.
 But as fast as 1t can be done. ths favored few. who own the machinery which manufactures our raw products into the finished products ready for use. are running up the prices, and in the event We should get twelve and one-haf or fifteen cents for our cot ton, and high prices in proportion for our other products, we would be very little better off than when we got ten and eleven cents.
 The secret of it all Is that the peo- pie. the very few people, who own the machines which manufacture our products, count on a certain dividend. Being organized and having a monop- oply of the machinery, they are able to raise or lower the price at will
 The producer and the consumer must eo-operately own the machinery which changes the raw material into the finished product. l. seems to the Guide that there is no use delaying We have had ample opportunity 10 study and We should begin to act It is time We were looking after estab- fishing a cooperative cotton factory right here in Alabama. Let every member of the union who will raise cotton or who will buy cotton cloth.
 IL is also time to begin to plan our gin congresses for next years crop.
 Why not?
 If a few people who know nothing about cotton can successfully operate mills and congresses. can't the grow CTS?

Now, that the prices are set for the products of the farm, let there be no side-stepping. It is all labor lost if the members of the Union do not stand by their own proposition. With about million members-the biggest thing on earth-it looks like it would be an easl thing to do business.

Bia Loss In Cotton.

According to summary compiled by Commissioner Tucker from the county crop reports that were recent ly published there will be a big loss in the cotton crop for 1907 over last year. The decrease will amount to nearly 30 per cent, the figures for the present year being 70.1 per cent of 1906. Arkansas last year pro duced 9i1 poo bales, estimated. The approxi.late output this year will be 659.6 bales. To make the latter total conditions from now until the staple is picked must be normal, the weather must be favorable for good develop ment, and no further insect damage or the early visitation of a heavy frost. A cold spring. a reduction of the acreage and other evils, such as boil weeyil and heavy rains, are respon- sible for the poor showing of the Arkansas crop. Other states have nearly all suffered the same troubles. and the cotton crop as a whole in the Southern States will be materially less than last year.

PenItentfary Board In seasion.

Following the agitation Of the bad four which 1t is alleged has been in use in the penitaudary. the board. which is now in session. has ordered all bad flour 10 be destroyed. and Lew supply purchased. After the four question had ben disposed of the board took up the matter of the education of the inmates of the reform school. By the statute passed at the last session of the legislature creating the reform school, it was provided that the boys and girls confined should receive thee months education each year. It was the belief of some of the board members that the school should be established immediately and Secretary of State Ludwig answered the objections of the oppo- nents of the plan who contended it is alleged, that for the balance of the year the inmates would be required to work and go to school later. The dis cussion was long on this proposition, but finally was settled by the unani- nous vote of the members in the appointment Ot La IeiIy ds Spe1tdi instructor of the school at a salary If $50 per month. blr Perry's name was placed before the board because of his qualifications for the post, hay ing been employed in the reform school at Nashville, Tenn. The appoint ment was made at the suggestion of Superintendent Chestnut. pr. R. l.. Russell. present penitentiary physi- elan. was appointed physician of the reform school and will receive S25 per month as salary for the additional duties. The board passed upon the awarding of the contracts for supplies for the month of September and adjourned to meet in special session September 12. when the retention to his position of the superintendent of cooks. the lighting of the reform school with electricity and the con sideration of the parole of several prisoners will be acted upon.

When the "gabfesters stand up before the farmers and tell them that they are the salt of the earth, and that no other class of people are so much oppressed and outrageously treated by everybody else, it is a good thing to remember that it is to the interest of these same "gabfesters to skin the farmer, and everybody else, as for that, out of every cent they can get, and that no politician or lawyer is letting any grass grow under his feet On the road to the dollars. Some how our old friend Solomon seemed to have a knowledge that was not only good for all time, but good for eterni- ty In one of his most lucid moments he said: Faithful is the rebuke of a friend. but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." He evidently had a view of the coming grandstand player to the old soldier and to the farmer.

The real Union man is above all else a reasonable man. He is willing to give and to take from his oppon- ent. He has sense enough to realize that it is conditions and not theories that make up his environment, and that it is to the conditions as they are that he must adapt himself, and not to things as they ought to be. and let us hope, some sweet day, will be. He is selfish as to his class, and he must be to meet the conditions. He is generous, however, not taking a tooth for tooth for if the day of right conditions ever comes. it will be through concessions all round. and he is the man who is willing to go his full distance and little further.
 When the financial organs of the country announced that thes dividends declared in September were S65 ,00.- 900. they declared that the profits made off of the business of the farm CTS was just that sum.
