The Farmers Union.

The Farmers Union is a "Greater
Mississippi" organization in every sense
of the word. 1t stands for the better
ment of the conditions surrounding the
agricultural people, and upon them de-
ponds the greatness of our State. The
warehouse campaign is a move that de-
serves the commentator and hearty
approval OF every man, woman and
child in the State. If our great money

AS THE BOY UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict OF Au-
thority Was Vital.

In one of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupting
influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
failed to respond as it should, when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original, for
in a voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following notification:

BLOW FoR TIE INSPECTOR.
Cinnamon Was Different from Any He
Had Had Dealings With.

When former Minister WI Ting
Fang left this country he was accom-
panied by an extens'r retinue and at
tended to the steamer by a delegation
Of local Chinese merchants.
The customs officials, who then were
also immigration inspectors, carefully
took the names and count of the local
Chinese as they went on board. This
precaution was to prevent some de-
ported or otherwise not welcome celes-
tial from effecting a landing by joining
the merchants as they came ashore
after taking a ceremonious farewen
of their distinguished countryman.
Half an hour or so after WI and his
friends had gone on board one of Wu's
secretaries arrived on the dock n
was hurrying up the gangplank when
q customs inspector seized him by
the arm and pulled him back on the
wharf.
'Washamalla you, John, l no takee
name, you no a come back. Who
you belong?" said the inspector, smil
ing at some girls with whom he had
been talking.
The Chinese shook loose the inspec-
tors hold on the loose sleeve of his silk
robe and with quiet dignity remarked:
"This violence is unnecessary. sir,
and my name is a matter of no inter-
est to you. / am a member of his ex-
~cellency's suite. go on board this

That customs inspector is still on
the force, but never since has he tried

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT 1T.

Gelett Burgess at the recent dinner
Of the American Booksellers associa-
ton of New York said: Il once knew
a San Franciscan who married a girl
for her money. She was not a pretty
girl, and as time passed and love
cooled, she developed a rather tart
tongue.
"One day her husband bought with
his quarters allowance a 20-horse.

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent of the Drugs Pre-
scribcd Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition of physicians,
especially of those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing eoncerns,-are, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged In many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa
tent himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth of the
professional s of patent or pro
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 20. 1906, by A. jacob, M.
D., LII. D. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but n prescrip-
ton in 1900 called for r~eady-to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or PRO
prietary' medicines equalled two per
cent Of the total. This increased to
5 per cent in the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was IL per cent,
in 1898 it was Is per cent, and in 1902
1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
DR.. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 70 per cent
of the prescriptions were for patent"
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this it would seem that if the patent"
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe in
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases of
necessity and where the symptoms
are we'll known and as easily under
stood by the people as by the doc
tors.

inventor Of the Boomerang.

The boomerang is rather a puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the ~perfecting of it.
The convexity on one side, the fat
ness on the other, and the sharp, knife
like edge on the inside of the con-
vexity have the air OF having been

Yet the people who invented this
singular weapon cannot count higher
than five and are destitute OF all the
