New York, Feb, 24.-Of the many
general events scheduled for the week,
interest is expected to center chiefly
on the interstate commerce commits
sion which will meet in this city to-
morrow to continue it's investigation
of the Hartman railroads. Many not
able financiers and railroad men have
been subpoenaed, and are expected to
appear for examination at this sit

them all is e. II. Hartman, the con-
trolling factor in the vast transporta-
tiOn system of the Union Paciic-SOuth-
ern Pacific lines. 1t is planned to
call Mr.. Hartman to the witness stand
Immediately upon the opening Of the

two days will be consumed in taking
his testimony Among the other men
who are expected to appear before the
commission this time are William G.

the great New York banking house
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., which has
financed many of the Hartman deals;

THE TEXAS WAY.

Hamden Nick. Fulgham, represent
ing the bureau Of the census depart
ment at Washington, d. c., dealing
directly with ginners' cotton statis-
tics, is firmly of the opinion that the
farmers union will solve the market
ing problem Of the cotton planter.

he said, ''they have already built sixty
warehouses, which have a storage ca
pacity of 10000 bales. In Texas they
have built warehouses in the same
ratio, and it will be possible for the
unions in that state to hold 500 900
bales in the future, if they so desire.
These unions are building warehouses
all over the belt, and many bankers
and merchants own stock in them.
This warehouse plan of the unions is
the only practical one that the cotton
producer has ever advanced.
THE Farmers Union is much
stronger in Texas, Arkansas and the
territories than the Southern Cotton
Association. The union represents
only white farmers, and it is as
strong and as enthusiastically CON
Quoted as any labor union could pos
sibly be. The Southern Cotton AS
sociation for the most part is looked
upon as the association in which the
big cotton planters are Interested
The cotton producer Of the south in
the near future will control the mar
keting of his own crop as absolutely
as the steel trust or the beef trust
controls the regulation of their out
puts.
Il believe that the final report of
the census bureau, April I, will not
be far from 12,4OO,OOO bales, which
will not, of course, include linters. -

WHAT ALLIED THE HORSE.

From the Kennebec Journal.
The many friends Of we'll known
hOrseman of Bar Harbor are still
amazed over his experience with a
fakir. Some little time ago he owned
horse which bothered him a great
deal by fOaming and drooling at the
mouth. At last one day he saw an ad-
vertisement in one Of the papers for
a new and sure remedy for the trou-
BILE. The price asked was only ST.,
and he concluded it was surely worth
that much to him, so he sent the
money along by the next mail. A few
days later came back a neat type
written letter, with the following al.

THE FARMER CLASSES, THEN
BETTER PRICES WILL PREVAIL.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb 12.-Thomas
Watson, of Georgia, passed through
Birmingham en- route to Atlanta from
Mississippi, where he attended the
meeting of the Farmers Union. He
was in Birmingham several hours. He
expressed the opinion that the future
prospects for the farmers were very
bright inasmuch as indications were
that they were going to stick to-
gether.
Capitalization is the salvation Of
the farmer classes said he, and if
they will only combine and stand by
each other there is no question but
that they can get much better prices
for their products as well as benefit
each other in many ways.
Mr.. Watson again spoke frankly in
regard to the railroads and did not
hesitate to say that their systems
could be greatly improved.

I do believe in government ownership

1000 BALES OF COTTON SOLD.

Last Friday afternoon Sanders &
Co., Of Houston, Tex purchased the
cotton in the San Saba Farmers
Union warehouse. consisting of be-
tween 1,5OO. and 1000 bales, paying
II cents delivered at Goldthwaite, or
.1080 at San Saba. The sum neces-
sary to handle this amount of cotton
is about $85,O00, which amount by
this sale is turned loose in our coun-
ty. The price received was very good
and by selling all together they OBJ
tanned a great deal more than they
could otherwise. 1t will take some
time to move all this cotton to Gold
thwaite, and the freighters will get a
nice little sum for the hauling.

West Virginia Entitled to Their Serv-

Special to The Washington Post.
Charleston, WA, Feb. 15.-Speak-
er Seaman took a shot at the lobby
lists this morning in a most direct and
unmistakable way. Immediately
after the opening of the session, he
said:
1T has come to my notice by OBJ
servation, as we'll as by complaint Of
the members of the house, that they
are being unduly annoyed by persons
who are interested in the passage Of
certain bills. Every member of the
house is a servant of the state Of
West Virginia, and the state is en-
titled to his best services and judg-
ment, and in the discharge of his du-
ties should be permitted to engage
therein with his best senses at hand.

business has been carried on under

on the floor, your personality is
not only known to the members, but
is known to the chair.

and abominable habit of interfering
with the members of the floor must

you must not again insult the intelli-
gence and manhood Of the members

A BETTER PLAN THAN sHoNTs's.

facilities in the world on conditions
satisfactory to the municipal authori-
ties to ourselves and to every fair

No new plan is necessary; a very
old one is adequate. The fifteenth
verse Of the twentieth chapter of Exc
dus contains that plan in the words:
"Thou shalt not steal"
If the traction managers of New
York had followed that plan from the
first the huge profits on their modest
investments would irresistibly have

ice, in liberal transfer privileges and
in reduced fares; New York would

MEANT A SOUL MORTGAGE.

Mr.. Edmonds Explains His Statement
Concerning a Rockefeller Gift.

monds, editor of The Manufacturers
Record, said today that the dispatch
from Atlanta last night purpOrting to
be a denial by Robert c. Ogden, late
chairman of the General Educational
Board Of statements made by Mr. Ed
mOnds, was calculated to confuse the
public mind as to statements which he
had made.

From Warrenton (Ga.) News.
FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.

existence farmers organization in
the southern, and a few of the west
ern states, which has a membership
of over one million and thirty thou
sand members?
Well there is!
1t is called the Farmers Education
al and Cooperative Union of
America.
It started in Texas about four years
ago, and has quietly worked it's way
into every southern state, and is now
enlisting thousands of western farm
ers into it's ranks.
1t has over sixty thousand members
in the state of Georgia.
The headquarters of the Union,
state and national, are located at
Barnesville, Ga. Hon. G. S. Barrett
is president Of the National Union,
and R. F. Duckworth is president of
the State Union.
It's object is to educate and solidify
the. farming interest so as to protect
that great interest against the combi-
nations which have grown fat from
toll and sweat of honest labor. BY
compact organization they expect to
perfect plans, and provide means,
through which the farmer can control
the price of his products, by regulat-
ing the supply to meet the demand,
and force a demand by preventing a
glut of the market.
The organization has built a num-
ber Of warehouses in Texas and other
states in which to store their prod
ucts and secure advances of money
to meet urgent demands, thus enab-
ling it's members to market their
crops at prices which they think re-
munerative.
OF course you will say; the farmer
is different from any other fellow;
that he hasn't got enough gum in him
to stick one to the other.
That may have been true in the
past-in fact, We must admit it was
true.
But hasn't he learned from obser-
walton and experience that nearly
every other profession or avocation
has their organization?
Hasn't he seen and felt the effect
of the national bankers organization?
Hasn't he seen and felt the millions
of dollars that have been taxed out
of him by Wall street railroad organi-
cations?
Doesn't he know that the seven rail
road kings of America-Vanderbil
Hartman, Morgan, Hill, Gould, Moore
and Rockefeller can advance freight
rates until commercial traffic is para
lyzed?
How did they get such power?
Through laws made by men whom
farmers sent to state and national leg
islatures.
Why did they send such men there?
Because they were scattered, so 10
speak. Had no organization, no CO.
hesiveness, while the fellows who
have been growing rich and powerful
at their expense have perfect organi-
Zation.
On examining our exchanges we
find that every section of Georgia,
with the exception of a few counties
in middle Georgia-and Warren is one
of them-is alive to this great farm
ers movement.
