Down upon the cake came the Italian officials, demanding duty. The Englishman protested that cake was not contraband whereupon the white ornaments were denounced.

SAY It IS
FIFTEEN CENT COTTON.

There was held at the court house
today a mass meeting of determined
farmers. and a few Palestine business
men. at which the cotton situation
was discussed. and some resolutions
were adopted for the guidance of the
cotton growers.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. John Q. Adams. chairman OF the
Farmers Warehouse Association, in
few words, and he suggested that
secretary be elected for the meeting.
On motion Mr.. w. NJ. Hamilton of the
Herald was elected secretary.
Then the chairman introduced Hon.
Joe A. Johnson OF Cayuga merely as
a matter of form, but entirely unnec-
.essary. as every man in Anderson
EQUITY knows Uncle Joe,O who ex-
planned in his practical. sensible way
the objects of the meeting. Mr.. John
son explained that it was to be a con-
ference of farmers and working peo-
pie over the cotton situation, and to
further the plan to hold for Is cent
cotton. He said it was not Farmers
Union meeting, as some had supposed,
but meeting of all people interested
in the handling and marketing of
the cotton crop. and that included the
grower. the banker. the merchant, the
wage Garner. and every man interest
ed in the welfare of the country. He
stated the Farmers Union was not an
antagonistic organization, but on the
contrary that it was one for peaceful
conquest. and one to guard the inter
ests of the farmer. which interest
should be the interest of the entire
county: that the farmers realized the
absolute necessity for all the various
business branches. He said the farm
er needs the banker and the moneyed
man as his friend; he needs the mer.
chant as his distributing agent, and as
his friend; that the farmers we're not
antogonistic to any legitimate bust
ness. He dwelled upon the necessity
of organization in It's various phases
and finally upon the necessity Of OF

He spoke OF the warehouse located in

located in Palestine, that Palestine

was Anderson county's town. He
stated that a prosperous town was
necessary to a prosperous county. and
that it was to the farmers best inter
ests TO contribute to the town. This
warehouse. declared the speaker. was
the nucleus through which the de-
mands of the union can be made ef-
fective: through the medium of the
warehouse the farmer can sell when
the unon said sell. and not when the
other fellow said sell-when the other
fellow sets the price. He declared !
the crop was fully fifty per cent short
Of the last years crop. and urged the |
necessity for a greater price.
After the speaker had finished Mr..
J. II. Delaney moved that a commit
tee OF five be appointed to draft reso-
lutions embodying the decision Of this
meeting to stand pat on Is cent cot
ton. and that the bankers and merch-
ants be asked to aid in helping to hold
for this price. The motion received a
second. and was adopted.
The following committee was APP

"BOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

A Doctor OF Divinity, now Editor of
a well-known Religious paper, has

tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press of the Country and 9TH

ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon it's

These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
"The religious Press owes you
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to

Hoo Baby" as the 'Yell-Oh Mans
successor"
"a contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally run against a solid
hickory Post" and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune of
$750,000.00."
Here is a publication which has, in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
go uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, 1t makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts its rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back dose of its own medicine
ut is mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but 1t cries and boo hoos like

First Pay Day Is Big.

Greeley, Colo.-Thursday was the
first pay day in this district for beet
growers and sugar factory employees
for the campaign of 1907-OS Farmers
did not begin to dig beets until Septem-
ber 23d, but mp to October 1st nearly
10000 tons of beets had been delivered
at the factories in Greeley, Eaton and
Windsor. Manager Granger reports that
S150,000 was paid to growers in the dis
trlct for their September deliveries,
each factory paying $4,000. The Oc-
tober delivery will represent triple this
amount and November's delivery will
be large. Factory employees from Oc-
tober 1st to today have received $751;
900 at each of the factories. making a
total expense to date of $195,000
The beets are averaging fourteen
tons an acre and their sugar contents
il more satisfactory than ever. Today
farmers began siloing one-fourth their
crop. Manager Granger says there is
no dissatisfaction regarding the silo-
ing as 1t is done when the farmers
lave laborers in the field to handle the
crop and the sliced portion can be
marketed at convenient seasons. 1t is
believed by this arrangement all beets
will be taken from the ground by No
