This Farmers Union Bureau was
established for the purpose of meet
ing all false or deceptive newspaper
articles sent out through the press of
the south by Cotton Exchanges and
others for the express purpose Of ad-
vancing the interest Of buyers and
spectators by deceiving cotton grow
ers.
Our efforts in this department are
to protect the interest Of farmers in
a general way, by sending out let
ter each week to all county and other
newspapers that will make arrange
ments with the farmers Of their sec
tions for this letter, which will be
mailed out every Saturday and re-
leased to the press on Tuesday.

An Ideal Sitter.

A Washington artist, while sketch
ing in North Carolina, was one day
in search Of a suitable background of
dark pines for a picture, says Har-
per's Weekly. At last he found the
precise situation he was seeking, and
best of all, there chanced to be pref
ty detail in the figure Of an old wo-
man in the foreground.
The artist asked the old woman to
remain seated until he had sketched
her. She assented with the greatest
good nature; but in a few minutes
asked how long the artist would be.
"Oh, only about ? quarter Of an
hour" he answered..
Three minutes o. so late" the old
darkey again inquired ed-this time with
manifest anxiety-how long the oper-
alton Of sketching would take.
"Not long," was the reassuring re-
ply, "but why do you ask so anxious
ly?"

About Cotton Schools.

The committee on education at the
National Convention of the Farmers
Union recommended the teaching of
a special course on grading and clas-
styling cotton at all the state agricul-
tural schools in the south.
Clemson Agricultural College at
Clemson College, S. c., has just es-
tablished a special course in its tex
tile department for the purpose of
teaching the classification and grad
ing Of cotton and may also add to this
branch warehouse bookkeeping. Any
other information On this subject
may be had>by addressing Prof. Dog
eett, Textile Department, Clemson
College. S. c..
All you cotton growers that have
been kicking about being robbed by
the arbitrary grading Of buyers, are
now up against a good proposition to
protect your interest in this matter
and you should now stand up with
this cotton school plan or hush up.

Woman's Place in France.

4 Paris correspondent Of the Brook
lyn Eagle writes: Great progress is
taking place in the opinion which
Frenchmen have Of women. The fact
that Madame Berthelot was buried at
the Pantheon with her husband prov
eS it. That would never have been
permitted even twenty years ago. The
scientist followed the example Of
Gen. Grant in refusing to be buried
where his wife could not be by his
side. There is a precedent in. the
fact that a woman was buried in a
place she would not have occupied if
she had not been the wife Of a great
man-Mrs. Gladstone, who is buried
in Westminster Abbey, by the side of
the great statesman.

the seed used for this replanting was
generally very poor seed from the
plsmature last pickis5s, which can
never make a full crop.
There is more late, stalky, thinly
fruited, shanky, deceptive looking re-
planted cotton in the cotton states
than was even known before.
No doubt about this prediction that

The class Of men that met at Little
Rock to name minimum prices for the
south's great money crop cotton was
not a body Of grafters met to name
prices on their peoples products:
but they were conservative reason
able and right thinking men from the
ranks Of the farmers who grow the
products they price. These farmers

Pay Your Debts Through the Ware
houses.

Instead of one thousand warehous-
es as we have stated before, the Far
mers Union authorities on this SUBJ
ject now make the statement that the
Farmers Union now owns and opera
tes more than two thousand ware
houses, and building more.
Now these warehouses we're put up
to take care Of the cotton by insur-
ing it from loss from both fire and the
weather by men who are able to hold
their cotton. as we'll as to furnish a
way by which those that are in debt
may store their cotton and draw
eighty per cent Of its current price
and pay their debts without placing
their cotton on the market at forced
sale at ruinous prices to all owners Of
cotton. The Farmers Union discour-
ages the system of growing mortgag-
ed cotton crops, and will not stand
for the mean practice Of some who
store their cotton at the expense of
their creditors after debts are due.
No! YOU cannot ride the Farmers Un-
ion horse over many roads like that;
you cannot be good Farmers Union
man and not pay your bills when due
if you can possibly do so.
Another cause for short crop that
is likely to deceive the people is that

manhood, boys, and stand up for one
another.
No! the Farmers Union cannot
prevent some cotton farmers from
acting the fool and letting their COT
ton 60 at price below the minimum
when they can help it.
But all loyal conservative business
farmers know that the minimum of
Is cents will be much easier reached
this year than any minimum set be-
fore.
We are in possession Of facts and
data to prove that Is cents will not
cover the actual cost Of production
to a considerable territory in cotton
in most all the states west Of the
Mississippi and also lot Of sections
in all the states east Of the Missis-
sippi.
In addition to reports from local
unions all over the cotton belt, the
committee on minimum prices had the
counsel Of a large number Of can
vassers who had canvassed all the
cotton states. These canvassers are
among our best practical farmers and
are not the kind Of men that could
afford to fool or deceive themselves
and friends.

Farmers Union Cotton Letter.

Fifteen cents is the minimum for
middling cotton beginning the first Of
September. One-quarter Of g cent
per pound will be added monthly.
Island long staple will run from
~ cents for No. !, to q for No. 4,
with an average Of 1-2 a cent per
pound monthly.
Since the Farmers Union and the
Cotton Association prices are the
same for both lint and cotton seed
and that many merchants and others
are now taking in and holding cotton
for the minimu mprice Of Is cents,
this grand concert of action for the
common good, the business element
Of the whole south accepts the de-
cision and expresses no doubt that
the minimum be reached at an early
date, notwithstanding the gall dis
played by the Savannah cotton buy
ers in their statement that they would
get the cotton for 13 cents.
The tub Of gall and wrong, against
grit and right is on to a finish and it
behooves every man in the south to
stand up for the farmer, for all real
ize that what is to the advantage of
the farmer rebounds to the welfare
Of the whole south.

FRANCIS MURPHY is DEAD.
Apostle Of Temperance Was Well
Know to Entire Nation.

APoStLe OF temperance was WeIt
Know to Entire Nation.
Los Angeles, Cal.-FTancis Murphy,
the apostle of temperance, died Sun
day.
Francis Murphy was an Irishman
by birth, first seeing the light of day
at Wexford on April "a, 1886. He re-
ceived a common school education
and on April 10, 1856, married Miss
Elizabeth ]. CHM of New York. He
served in the Union army during the
civil war and entered upon his IA
nous career as a temperance orator
by speaking at Portland, Me-, April
3, 1870. The organization of the Tenn
perance Reform Club of Maine was
largely due to his initiative, and he
became it's first president.
1t was at Pittsburg that national
renown was perhaps most clearly
focused upon him and when he spoke
there on November 26, 1875, at a
meeting which resulted in the signing
of the pledge by $4,000 people in the
"Old Home church"
His fame spread throughout the
country and he made frequent
speeches in behalf of temperance
with such effect that it is estimated
that 100000 people had signed
pledges of total abstinence through
his efforts. He made a successful
tour of England and served as chap
lain in the war with Spain. His resi-
dence was established in Pittsburg,
but most of his time was spent in
travelling, engaged in evangeHstic
