TO the reduction of postage is part
ly due the popularity Of the comic
valentines, which, for the most part,
are hideous and useless, and, in some
instances, vulgar and indecent. It
is a pity that this type Of valentine
has. to exist with the pure and beauti-
full cards and novelties that are popu-
lar on the fourteenth of February.
Sending valentines has become q
universal practice, ana the day will
be observed this year with the usual
spirit which has characterized it in
the past. Not only will numerous
messages Of love and affection be
sent broadcast over the city, but
many "heart" and novelty parties
will be given, at which a diversity Of
entertainment will be arranged ac-
cording to the ingenuity of the hos
tess. From now until Thursday, the
fourteenth, the valentine stores will
be crowded and the younger male
generation will be preparing the
stick which invariably proves a great
nuisance on the anniversary of the
popular saints day.

Harmony Prevailed.

Harmony Prevailed.
1t there is one feature above an
other that deserves to b enoticed here
to mark the progressive and growing
spirit Of the Farmers Union, it is
that harmony was sought and prevail
ed above every other effort put forth
at the recent national assembly of
the Farmers Union at Atlanta.
As is we'll known avobe all other
besetting evils, rivalry, peevish and
small differences Of opinions have re-
tarded progress in organizing farmers
more than other troubles. But at the
Atlanta meeting the one word union
seemed to be written out in large let
ters at the top and at the head Of ev-
cry resolution and proposition placed
before this meeting. But few if any
progressive farmers practice or ap-
prove of the eight hour law on their
farms, but in order, to keep the union
III harmonious like order these op-
ponents of this law allowed this eight
hour labor resolution to go through as
a real sacrifice for peace and good
will towards all.
Is cotton made out of niggers AMI
mules? IF so and these two price fac
tors in the production of cotton cost
more than double what they did when
the south busted on five cent cotton,
how can the collection farmer" now
keep back an explosion III his affairs
and sell his cotton for ten cents or
less7
If merchant and. supply men that
are now at it making contracts with
cotton farmers would make it a part
Of the written agreement for their
customers to grow their own food
supplies at home, this would go long
way toward removing the condition
in the south that dumps the cotton up
on the early market to the INJURY of
the whole south. This would enforce
diversified farming.
The men that presist in making
the conditions that force this mort
gagged cotton on the market and then
have the gall to ask the Farmers Un-
ion man why he don It keep up cotton
price, should have his cotton lien
changed to lien over stump and
his cotton crop mortgage forcelosel
with barrel stave levied on the seat
of his pants with both hands.
Now this may sound like rough
way Of winding up the years cotton
crop but while there may be few
honest merchants and good honest
cotton growers engaged in this kind
Of cotton growing the vast majority
of the lien law or mortgaged cotton
growers and the men who supply
them are a rough set. They usually
work the thing very much on the plan
Of dog eat dogg. The unscrupulous
supply man starts out to pull the help
less fools for all he can to save him
self while the mortgage cotton grower
tries to beat the merchant all he can.
Character is no part Of collateral here
on either side, but raseality under the
cover Of the lien law gets the prize
and small lawyers are kept busy.

cality and give big premiums to en-

At the time the Americans present thought it bad
taste that should sing national anthem to the
ruler of another people, little knowing that the En-
peror had heard of it in advance from his nephew,
and expressed strong wish to have it included in
the program The old Emperor William, the Crown
Prince, later Emperor Frederick, and the present
Emperor William were there. The dear old En-

umbrella, called on him at his home on Twefth-st.
He came into the room with an air of quizzcal

Emma sing in church," AS l only twelve
years DID, there was some hesitation; but finally
he had his way, and l was taken to DR.. Porter's
church Bedford-ave., to sing in the choir.
While there had not been any suggestion of pay
ment for my services, think, perhaps, l should not
have been allowed to enter into the arrangement
but for the hope that it might lead to something for
small, the large business interests of
my father in Williamsburg having been almost lost
through the mismanagement of others after his
death. And enough, in month or two offers of
a salary came from other churches.
If She is worth paying we will pay her" was
Mr.. Gray's answer. And contract signed,
with the agreement that should be released if

soon followed and finally was singing in the Broad

time ever paid to church singer.

cost of my musical education (And would say here
