Address of the Farmers.

The address to the public sent out
from the regular monthly meeting OF
the Farmers Union of :-ork county in
the court house yesterday and which
is published elsewhere in The Enquirer
of today, is a paper we'll worthy Of the
most careful consideration Of all our
people, including farmers and business
men generally.
If there are those who really think
that the farmers of this part Of the
country have not got about as good
an idea Of where they stand and what
they are up against as other people
have, it would seem that this paper
is very we'll calculated to disabuse
their minds And also If there are
those who think that the farmer is dis
posed to be unreasonable or unjust
from business standpoint, they will
have to look long and hard to find in
view.
There is not a sentiment or a state
ment in the address to which we are
unwilling TO subscribe our unqualified
endorsement; but the section which
appeals most directly to our approval
is the one numbered s, relating to the
subject of paying debts. and especially
the last sentence reading: But we
would ask those who have been so un-
fortunate in this respect this year to
try to profit by the lesson and be bet
ter prepared to take care Of themselves
in the future"
This holding movement in which the
farmers are engaged is all right 1t
is the very thing-the only way where
by 1t is possible for the producers of
the cotton crop to realize full value for
the same. If they fail in accomplish
ing the end in view 1t will only be be-
cause they have failed to use the means
they have adopted. For just as surely
as only six million bales Of the pres
ent crop are held until next March
just so surely will the price go on up
to fifteen cents.
But the weak spot, as the farmers
fully realize, is debt. Many have tried
to outdo themselves and have exceed
ed their limits. The solid, conserva-

- Washington. December L: If the
amount lost by fire, burglary, etc, is
added to the ordinary excess Of eXpen-
ditures over receipts, including expen-
ditures during the year on account Of
previous fiscal years, the gross deficit
in the postal service during the year
1907 will aggregate s6.692.031.47. The
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Hon. A. L. Lawshe. in his annual re-
nort, gives the above figures, and with
it quotes the amount of the postal def
icit in 1895. which was $l0,516.995.95
just 1913 per cent higher than the eX-
cess of expenditures over the receipts
IF the postal service for the current
year The total postal revenue for 1907
shows an increase of $15,669, S47.S0
over the year 1906. The third assist
ant postmaster general goes at length
into a discussion of the troubles which
vex publishers and those who have to
do with second class postage rates. A
ruling has been made in regard to
sample copies Of newspapers and pc
riodicals which will be put in force in
few days. 1t is in effect that the
publisher shall be allowed to mail sam
pie copies at the pound rate to a linn
it of 10 per cent Of his bona f1de sub
scription list. There are also some
rules imposed which relate to expired
subscriptions and limit the time In
which the department shall carry pa
pers to these delinquents at the pound
rate. 1t is recommended that the mon
ey order system be extended to every
postOffice in the United States. The
great usefulness Of the money order
system is shown in the statement that
during the present year 62,O69,7S3
money orders were issued. This is an
increase of nearly four million over
the issue Of 1906.

- Charleston, S. c., November 30:
President w. w. Finley Of the South
ern Railway Company, who is in Char
lesion tonight to respond to the toast
at the 17Sth anniversary banquet OF
the st. Andrews society, IL speaking
Of passenger rate conditions In the
south stated that he believed II to be
in the interest Of the people as well an
the transportation companies that an
earnest effort should be made to ad-
just the matters affecting passenger
rates now In litigation In some Of the
southern states, and II possible arrive
at a basis which would assure relative
uniformity Of intrastate passenger
rates and at the same time an align
ment Of interstate rates as well. Even
though 1t involves a financial sacrifice,
he said, II is the policy Of the Southern
Railway company to. bring this about IL
possible and the public served by the
Southern Railway company in the
state In which there has been no leg
islation on this subject, such as South
interests in the matter will be fully
protected by voluntary action on the
rart Of his company. He is encouraged
to believe that this policy has already
commended itself to the authorities of
cessful outcome and he had no doubt
that the results will inaugurate an era
of cooperation and harmony between
interests that are in reality one and
the same.

THE recently expressed view of The
ENQUIRER to the effect that one OF the
objects Of the currency strike was to
purchase the southern cotton crop for
several hundred million dollars less
than it is worth. seems to have stirred
up the animals pretty generally. The
Baltimore Sun came to the assistance
Of the Columbia State in showing the
absurdity of the suggestion and now
comes the Jacksonville Times Union
with the claim that the present price
Vt cotton shows that no such a thing
could have been contemplated. 1t Will
be remembered, however that we have
never stated that this thing was entirely
successful. 1t has only been success
full in part Except for the holding
movement it would have been entirely
successful. and we believe that II the
farmers will only continue to hold they
will win out in spite Of the currency
strike no matter what may have been
the cause of the same.

THE Columbia State, which believes
so strenuously in northern rejoicing
over southern prosperity, has not yet
taken time to explain to us why the
northern commission men make that
difference Of from a half cent to a
cent a pound between the price OF
southern and northern yarns to the
prejudice of the former. We would
really like some light on this subject,
even though in the giving Of that light
our contemporary should prove that
our friends of the north are In COM
plete and hearty sympathy with the
prospective industrial and financial in
dependence of the south.

THE thing for the farmer to do is to
raise his cotton crop with as little debt
as possible, and the way to accomplish
this is to pitch the crops in such
way that it will not be necessary to
buy anything that could have been
raised, II all the farmers Of the south
will adopt this plan, they will reduce
the annual cotton crop very material
ly, and they will be assured Of good
price. But the prettiest and best thing
about this plan is that every man who
practices it will win out regardless OF
how others fare. The hog and hominy
combination is an absolutely sure win
ner.

range for kind of picnic party in the
early morning with as sort of second
thought pair Of rapiers for the infict-
ing Of the scratch that is to satisfy
honor. This function is called duel.
But in the old days duels were of
much sterner nature and the most ter
rible one fought at any time in Paris
was that between Colonel D., an old
Bonapartist officer, and M. de G. Of
the Guards du Corps, mere youth, but
of herculean strength. The two men,
lashed together so as to leave their
right arms free, were armed with short
knives, placed in hackney coach and
driven at a tearing gallop around the
Place de la Concorde. They were taken
out of the coach dead. The colonel
had eighteen stabs, the youth only
four, but one of these had pierced his

MEMORIAL DAY.
Fitting Observance by Overton Post
and Citizens.

Decoration Day was fittingly OBJ
served by the citizens of Morris and
vicinity on Thursday. A large num-
Der of visitors from neighboring towns
and the surrounding country were
also present. The day was pleasant,
tho rain threatened. .....
In the forenoon, the members of
Overton Post and the ladies of Eliza
beth Reem Circle decorated the
graves of deceased soldiers and sailors
and read the G. A. r. ritualistic SER
vice.
The parade in the afternoon was
headed by the Indian School band and
the Overton Post flag with a small
color guard of veterans. The remand
er of the Post viewed the parade from
the reviewing stand at the armory.
The Indian school children, the Work
men lodge and the children of the
public schools were also in line.
The exercises at the armory were
brief but interesting. Watzke's Or
chestra rendered three excellent Sc
lections. After prayer by Rev. Law
son, W. L. Colyer, the Post adjutant,
read the general orders and Lincoln's
Gettysburg address. The school CHOIR
us, led by Miss Proctor, sang "Tent-
inU{n on the Old Camn Gronnd'' in an
effective manner.

Cherry and G. B. Randall were full of
sentiment appropriate to the day and
were appreciated by the old soldiers
and the audience.
The singing of the 'March to Our
Flag" by the school chorus deserves
special commentator. The exercises
we're closed with the singing of
