LESSONS IN UNIoNIsM.

At the Worlds Fair in Chicago, long before the Farmers Union was thought of, there was a great lesson in unionfsm.
 For years the grain speculators had been keeping theirrice of corn down to the producers. .dtttl it went down to cents bushe1
 The farms of ifhe great corn state became mortgagedss an poverty was written on almost every farmers home
 Out Of this state of affairs grew an organization which the farmers joined and stuck to. They did not simply pass resolutions, but they carried out the spirit of their resolutions to the letter, and raised the price of corn from s cents bushel sto 30 cents
 As a result of this the farmers of Kansas sent q car load of paid-off mortgages to the great Worlds Fair in Chicago.
 These mortgages were lifted by or ganizing and sticking to the organi- zation.
 Is this not valuable lesson to our cotton farmers?
 One year ago the Farmers Union levied special assessment of 10 cents per member in order to push it's or ganization in the great northwest among the wheat growers.
 These wheat growers were getting from 30 to 45 cents bushel for their grain.
 With the aid of the great organized body of farmers known as the Farm CTS Union they set a price of s1 per bushel. They won the fight by stick ing to the minimum price
 It took courage and fidelity to ac- complish this
 But one result is that it makes us pay about s5.50 for four Now the question: Can we of the South afford to meet these prices for four. corn and other things with cotton at less than 15 cents per pound?
 Most assuredIy we can not.
 We have a minimum price on our great crop.
 Will we get it?
 We'll. it's our fault if we don't.
 We have our own system of ware houses. They belong to us and there Is no reason in the warld why we should allow this internal combination of home spinners and Wall street gamblers to win.
 Let us hold to the last minute.
 We can sell to Europe and let the home spinners go to the devil.
 That's what we will do. So don't sell. and don't let your non-union neighbor sell, and don't let the negro seIl-Birmingham F. U. Guide.

BE CAREFUL.

The time for the politicians to swarm has arrived and they have be- gun to lay siege on the headquarters of the Farmers Union. Some of the State officials are getting letters ask ing them to use their best efforts to secure the endorsement by the Union of certain candidates.
 Golly. Aren't the politicians blind? We have been telling them all the time that the Farmers Union would not endorse any man for any political office, and that if any candidate wanted the support of the members of the Farmers Union, he had better not ask the endorsement of the organ ization The fact that he asked the organization to endrose him will cause hundreds of our members to vote against him. In other words. the boys are determined to make the people understand that the Farmers Union will not go into politics.
 The old politician can not beg, per suade. scare or bulldoze us from our position. There are a few men who will be candidates for office that no doubt the masses of the Farmers Union members will be favorable to. but if such a man intimates that he wants the endorsement of the Farm CTS Union, he will go down the pike with the blackest eye ever toted by political pugilist-Union News.

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL
 AND COOPERATIVE UNION - OF AMERICA -
0EFRAUDE0 OF MILLIONS.

There is Something absolutely al III the history of cotton farmers of the south. The sadness of it is made more plain as the vast losses sustained bv them for more than a generation are brought out by the present price of cotton.
 What if cotton had brought fair price for the past twenty-five years? Have you ever made 3 calculation to see what it would have amounted to? 1ou may safely set it down that the price received for cotton has been little more than one-half the sum the raiser or the cotton should have received for It. When he was paid Sc. 1t should nave been at least 10c., and when it was 1e., it would have been at least f but for the manipulation of the mar kets and the inability of the traders of the South to buy cotton.
 There is no use to grieye over split milk. The loss is irrecoverable. It afforded the swindlers in New England and the gambler of Liverpool and New York opportunity to accumulate mil. lions, and to press the South down and keep it down, but a better day is breaking, and the thieves and enemies are losing their power.
 Cotton and Cotton Oil News is quite sure that more than one force has con- tributed to the result The Southern farmer has grown stronger. and is bet ter able to defy the price-fxers. The cotton mill has come South. That is the main help. Other nations are eager to buy our cotton, and this has brought out better bids of some of the old robbers. and has forced them to abandon their own game. Then, the Farmers Union, the Southern Cotton Association and other self-defensive or ganizaions have helped us into liberty and independence.-Cotton and Cotton Oil News.

Why They Fail.

Many fall down on sheep raising be- cause they do not give enough atten- tion to the foundation stock. The ewes must be strong enough and wig orous. These are usually good milk CTS and they bring strong lambs. Sheep are more financial than cattle or hogs, and they need closer atten- tion.

Every man who owns foot of land, and every one should at least own his homestead. if it is no bigger than a city lot. should lose no time in seeing that every place that will grow a tree has one planted on it. The most inn mediate crying demand of this country is the cry for timber already coming up from many directions.

It is all stuff about the big crop this year. Cotton is short and the de mand is good. No stocks are on hand. It was only a few months ago that some American mills reshipped cotton from the old countries to fill orders. Your cotton is as good as money, keep it or get a good price for it.

Diversification is not merely chang ing from one exclusive crop to anoth- CT. It is the one crop idea that must be combatted. In some localities fai is coming up for peanuts. and if the whole country goes to raising this crop the price will go down to losing fig ure. Keep in the middle of the road, and don't carry all the eggs in one basket.
 The Union should go carefully on this matter of foreign immigration. At one time we were all foreign im- migrants, so far as this country was concerned On the other hand, it is indisputable that this country is being overrun with the undesirable elements of some of the transatlantic countries. Many of those now landing on our shores have left their countries for their countries good,' and will be a burden rather than a blessing to this country.

 Much anxiety and quite a little trOu- ble has been caused in Intercollegiate football circles in Canada by the ru- nor that Ottawa college would not he awarded the championship owing to the claim that Bawlf. their fullback. had played professional hockey.

 The Boston Herald announced its selection of an All American team. In picking the team the Carlisle Indian school is left out of consideration. as it ranks as a prep school and in view of the fact that it has no regulations, would hardly seem tO class with West Point and Annapolis. which have ac- cepted the college eligibility rules The team selected follows: Erds.
