Trust Mcraft.n

L
One of the practices of the trusts in
the marketing of their products, is
the prize schemes. In order to induce
the consumers to use their various
brands of goods, attractive offers are
made to exchange different articles
for certificates and coupons. But it
is always intended that the consum-
ers pay the freight Generally
where premiums are offered with
goods, the packages are short in
weight, or a few cents more charged
than goods Of like kind sell for. Thus
It can be seen how the premiums
given r paid for by the consumer,
and he pays a high price for the
prizes he draws. Goods that are
given away with purchases cost
money. Their cost does not come out
of the pockets Of the manufacturers,
but out Of the purses Of the people
who use the goods. If one desires to
buy sugar, he does not care to pay
for the scoop or shovel. He wants
sugar, and at the lowest price con-
sistent. He knows that if he takes
the scoop or the shovel some one
pays the bill. Various systems of
premium giving have been devised.
Some call for a certain number Of
coupons Of some sort, and SO much
cash, or some article just, for the
coupons alone. Where cash is re-
quired along with coupons there is
apparently an additional profit in the
deal aside from that made on the
goods with which coupons are given.
1t Is well to buy goods on their merits
alone. Buy what you want and at
the right price, and you will be ahead
of the premium plan.

BLOWN ID PIECES
 IN AN EXPLOSION
TWO BOXES OF DYNAMITE FIX PLoDE AND JOHN THOMAS, AN
 oLD-TIME PRESCOTT PROSPECT OR, IS BLOWN UP WITH CABIN.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., September 30.- When two boxes of dynamite, stored in the cabin of John Thomas, a prospeetor aged 70, living at Harrington, exploded the unfortunate miner and his domicile were literally ablown to pieces, his body being hurled twenty feet from the scene of the explosion and the cabin utterly wrecked.
 The unfortunate victim of the acci. dent had his face, foot and hand torn from his body by the force of the ex- plosion. Death was instantaneous.
 Just what caused the dynamite to ex- plode is a mystery and will probably never be known. Thomas entered his cabin, wherein the dynamite was stored, about O clock, and few minutes later residents of Harrington were startled to hear terrific detonation and see debris from the wrecked building fill ing the air.
 Rushing to the scene, citizens of the place found the mangled body of the aged miner, who had been engaged in working prospects in that vicinity for some time past.
 He had no known relatives in this portion of the country.

In addition to this the corn crop
has been above the average. There
is more corn on the farms than there
has been in many years. The hay
crop is fine. Sweet potatoes and cane
are fine. Nearly all the by crops
have been good this year, with the
exception Of the fruit; and while
this is a growing interest in Angus
ta's territory it is not yet so great
that the failure of this crop causes
any appreciable hardship. So then,
the condition is that farmers have
more home supplies on the farms, and
with this great advantage to begin
with, they will have over twenty mil
lions to spend before they buckle
down to repeat this grand perform
ance.
This presents roseate picture of
prosperity, the best feature Of which
is that it is no picture Of the mag

figures which speak for themselves,

MONEY FOR THE FARMERS.

It is conceded that the southern
farmers will this fall and winter be
in more prosperous condition than
they have ever been before. Because
it is known that as general rule the
crops have turned out well, and it is
confidently expected that the price of
cotton will remain up, the one con-
clusion must be that the farmers are
doing well. Yet few people have tax
en- the trouble to estimate, or have
any real conception Of the vast wealth
produced by the farmers of this Sec
ton, which will pass through their
hands in actual hard dollars during
the coming months.
The farmers in the immediate trade
territory Of Augusta have produced
at least 100000 bales Of cotton. At
thirteen cents per pound this will
bring them in $19,500,0OO. To this
must be added the value Of the seed.
Say that two-thirds Of the cotton seed
produced will find their way to the
oil mills, this would be 100000
bushels at thirty cents per bushel.
$1,800,000 for seed, and total of
$21,300,000 cash for the cotton crop
raised in Augusta's immediate trade
territory this year.

1907 COTTON AND AVERAGE
FROST.

When will damaging frosts begin
to occur in the cotton belt? With
crop from two to four weeks late,
this is the feature of prime impor-
tance at present. No man, however,
can do more than state the probabil-
tiles. Average dates when Jack
Frost makes his first killing on
slaught at different points are well
known, but the range is so wide
In North Carolina of late years from,
October % to November 28-that
these possess very limited value.
: North Carolina, nearly all Of South
Carolina and the greater part of the
States of Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi may ordinarily expect kill
ing frost to arrive between November
1 and November 15 Northern Lou
isiana, Northern Texas, over half of
Arkansas and good part of the Ter
ritories are similarly situated. In
the northern fractions of Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas
the time is little earlier. In south
ern Georgia and all along the upper
Gulf December l or a little earlier
is the rule. Below there Jack is so
seldom an important crop season
factor that he can be dismissed with
little consideration even this year.
These data show thta the present
crop has nothing much to fear if on
ly the killer does not come ahead of
time; if an unusually early frost does
not smite an unusually late crop.
This years crop, though belated thus
enjoys more than fair chance to es-
cape any serious damage. It simply
has diminished margin Of probable
safety.-Charlotte Observer.

southeast will come next year, and
both Mississippi and the general gov
ernment will do wonderfully we'll if
they hold back the pests from cross
ing the river in 1908. Scientists, how
ever, declare the river will prove no
barrier, and that their progress will
go on unchecked. The test will come
in October and November Of the pres
ent year, for the annual migration
generally extends to forty or fifty
miles, and it has just been begun.
The eastern cotton belt need not ex-
pect to escape the ravages Of the
pest, for no way has been devised to
stay its march or to lessen it's de-
sire to poison cotton bolls. 1t is

ers Union is not after the small

of the subject from your mind at
once.
We are now, and have been for
some time, after larger game, and we
have just about got them cornered,
and not very many days hence the
Farmers Union, as an organization,
will rise up from every quarter of
the United States in full force and
charge the enemy in their secluded
dens in the various places and COM
plctely put them to fight, putting
them completely out of their business.
Then we will have won one of the
grandest victories that the farmers
have ever known. So now, Mr. Cot
ton Speculator, big, little, old and
young, you had just as well direct
your mind to some other vocation of
life, for we are going to oust you,
that is all there is to it.
Say, Mr., they tell me that the
Southern Cotton Association has fixed
fifteen cents as their minimum price.
If that be fact, and they stand up
with the Farmers Union for their
just and equitable rights, mark my
predictions right here and now, Mr..
Speculator, there'll be something do
ing. Put that In your hat and wear
it some, if you please. Say, Mr..
Farmer, all of you fellow that do not
belong to the Farmers Union, why
don't you join the union and help us
battle for your rights? Would you
not have clearer conscience to come
in and pay your little mite toward
winning your own battle, than you
would have to stand back and pocket
a part of your money at our expenses 2
