hiean BID Farmer.

It should not be forgotten that it was
the farmers that, through the SO called
granger legislation, wrote it into the
jurisprudence of this country that the
state is greater than any of its crea-
lures and has the right to regulate the
business of any corporation it has ere
ated. That was disputed and ridiculed
until the farmers made it law and
stayed with it until the highest courts
pronounced it good law. That is the
foundation of all the laws we now have
to regulate railways, life insurance
companies and other corporations The
farmers in the seventies laid the foun-
dation of the laws that President
Roosevelt is using to curb corporations.
The trouble is that we farmers do
not appreciate our power We are by
long odds the biggest frog in the pud-
die, if we only knew it. II. we would
get together and hustle little we
could get the legislation we should
have and officials would fall over them
selves to enforce that legisla tion.--

POMONA ORANGES.
Their Province and Some of Their
Duties Suggested.

Their Province and Some of Their
Duties Suggested.
It is quite evident to those who are
familiar with the work of the Pomona
oranges within the state that they are
not accomplishing the highest purpose
for which they were organized, and it
is often the case that their work is
confined wholly to the programme pre-
scented at each quarterly meating. and
between sessions the influence of the
Pomona is as little felt as if there We're
no such organization. 1t is province
of the Pomona grange to have an over
sight over the subordinate oranges
Within its jurisdiction and where they
are weak to strengthen them. Partic-
uiariy in the literary programme can
the county lecturer make his influence
felt ia building up the literary work of
the Order Furthermore, it is through
the Pomona that the subordinate
oranges should cooperate in buying
and selling and in the accomplishment
of any desired object. The committees
on cooperation or legislation in the
subordinate oranges should be in touch
with the same committees of the Po-
mona oranges and should not weaken
thaiT influence by acting separately, as,
for instance, petitioning the legislature
or congress for any desired action.
Furthermore, the Pomona grange
should have careful oversight over the
subordinate oranges in respect to de-
gree work. While this perhaps is the
province OF the county deputy, yet he
may be greatly assisted by the officers
of the Pomona in his work. Each OF
the subordinate degrees should be ex-
emplified, one at session perhaps, at
the Pomona meeting, and it should be
done with view to perfecting the de-
gee work. OF course the fifth degree
will be conferred at least once year
in full form and as perfectly as it can
be done. It is the special province of
the Pomona grange to render all the
assistance possible in every way to the
work Of tie subordinate oranges.

GRANGE COOPERATION.
A Successful Grange cooperative
Store In New Jersey.

In December. 1902 the Fruit Grow

several others who were Patrons form
ed the Grange Cooperative society of
Vineland \. j. 1t was Incorporated
under the laws Of New Jersey. They
owned warehouse 2f by 70 feet, two
stories high. contiguous to the New
Jersey Central railroad previously used
for storage purposes. They also own
ed several building lots not far away.
Upon these lots they erected build
ing 36 By so feet. two stories high.
The upper story gives a fine commodi-

was opened to the public in July, 1903.
AS this is eminently poultry rails
ing region they make a speciality Of
all kinds of poultry supplies as we'll
as all other materials used for feed
ing stock and for family use. Fer
tilizers are also dealt in largely Fam
lily groceries are kept. but no dry goods,
clothing or hardware. The society is
a stock organization, shares being So
each. The board of nine directors
must all be Patrons; two-thirds of the
stockholders must also be members of
the grange. Those who are not Pa
irons can be admitted only upon the
recommendation of responsible men,
bers of the Order
Thus far they have been able to pay
an annual dividend of per cent on
all stock and per cent also on all
purchases made by stockholders and
Patrons Outside purchasers get no
percentage, but they have a good pat
ronage from them. Two commission
shipping agents who are Patrons pay
/ per cent on all shipments by them.
They credit members on their stock
account. The past year they have en-
ployed a manager and his wife, two
clerks and more when needed. Five
days in the week two and three teams
are kept busy in soliciting and deliver
ing goods within radius of eight
miles The store is a veritable bee

struction work has been going for

yards Of dirt daily, and with the
increased force it is expected that
between 5 1000 and 5000 cubic feet

During the night of last Satur-
day the store of 2. T. Blacksher &

Entrance was effected by breaking
a glass door on the north side of
the building, which is on North
street. At about seven o'clock on
Sunday morning the theft was dis
covered, and no one was allowed
to enter, pending the arrival of the
bloodhounds which were expected
to be put on the trail. The hounds,
however, failed in the matter.

MRS. WILKINSON DIES
Mother of Hon. T. S. Wilkinson
Expires Suddenly.

Josephine Osborn Stark, the
widow of DR.. ]. B. Wilkinson and
mother of Theodore S. Wilkinson,
died suddenly and painlessly at
lao p. M, on Jan. %, at the resi-
dence of her niece, Mrs. Rose W.
Toby, in Carondelet street.
Death was entirely unlocked
for at this time, although Mrs.
Wilkinson had not been in good
health for several months. At
noon yesterday she came down to
luncheon with the rest of the fam
lily, although this had not been
her usual custom. She returned
to her room and was preparing to
go out and make a call when strick-
en-. she passed away within a
few minutes after her family had
had the first initmation of her
serious condition and before any
of her sons could reach her bed
side.
This estimable woman was born
December %, 1923, in Woodville,
Wilkinson county, Miss, her faith
er being Col. Horatio Stark, of the
United States Army. At the age
of 10 she married DR.. J. B. Wilkin-
son of Plaquemines parish. She
lived in that parish almost con-
tinuously until 1884, when DR..
Wilkinson was ruined financially
by the overflow Of Myrtle Grove,
his sugar plantation. Then DR..
and Mrs. Wilkinson moved to
Pass Christian, Miss, where they
lived nearly eight years, after
wards residing with the families OF
their several sons and daughter in
New York, Washington and New
Orleans.
Mrs. Wilkinson was the mother
of J. 3. Wilkinson, Jr., formerly
United States general appraiser of
New York; Theodore S. Wilkinson
who helped and succeeded his
father at Myrtle Grove, Plaque
mines parish; Andrew Wilkinson,
who was long known in New Or
leans Journalism and a member OF
the Times-Democrat's editorial
staff; DR.. c. P. Wilkinson, who
was president Of the State Board
Of Health and quarantine physi-
clan for a score of years; Horace
Wilkinson, a prominent sugar
planter of West Baton Rouge par
ish; James Wilkinson, district at
torney Of Plaquemines and ST.
Bernard parishes, and Ernest Viii.

Washington, D. C.-Times-Demo-
crat.

From what we could learn from
Mr.. Blacksher, he is minus of
eight pistols, which were taken
from their respective boxes, leav-
ing their numbers and probably
some other sundry articles.
Strange as it may seem, the
cash register, which contained
five or six dollars, was opened,
the thieves having been probably
frightened off before appropriat-
ing its contents.
Since the above was put in type,
we learn that grif mulatto, aged
about twenty-four years, whose
name is Trilson Lewis, was ar
rested in Rayne on suspicion of
being connected with the robbery,
and is now in Jail.
1t seems that the conductor on
the train, MIR. Barksdale, was ap-
preached by the colored porter
and was asked for a loan of 81 to
buy an SIS pistol. The conductor,
being apprised of the robbery, ad-
vanced the money and kept the
number of the pistol, which cor
responded with the missing
goods.
The officers of the law are hot on
the trail of others connected with
recent burglaries in our city.
Sunday morning was regular
burglars day here.
In addition to the above, the
saloon of Messrs. Allen 7. Sandoz
& Bro. was broken into from the
rear of the building, and
about SS or $40 taken there
from. This was evidently done in
the morning, as the store closed at
midnight.
During the same morning the
saloon Of Mr.. Leon Pitre was
forced open from a back window,
and all that was found missing
was whiskey. No clew in the last
two instances.

There has been a revival of
rumors about the probable retire
ment of Secretary Cortelyou, but
it is pretty we'll understood that
the Secretary intends to stay with
the President Mr.. Cortelyou's
health has rapidly improved, and
there is nothing to indicate that
the relations of himself and the
President were ever disturbed in
any way.
The Senate is now busily en-
gagged in the discussion of the AID
rich currency bill, which was re-
ported to the Senate on Jea1ls Jea1ls x N7l2l, a.
referred to the Senate Finance
Committee, and reported back to
the Senate by that Committee last
week. It was thought at first that
there would be a long partizan
debate over this measure and
that it's final passage would be
indefinite. However, this un-
fortunate fate, has been averted,
by mutual concessions of both
Democrats and Republicans.
When the bill was referred back
to the Committee, it provided for
the issue of only $250,00O,0O0
currency for emergencies, but it
was amended by the Democrats
to make it $500, 100000, which is
now a satisfactory sum to both
parties. As a security for this
sum, the national banks may de-
posit State, municipal and county
bonds, and even railroad bonds,
that have paid a satisfactory rate
of interest for five years or more.
Heretofore, Government bonds
only were accepted as security for
bank notes circulation, and this
act, which is the most moment
Gus one that has passed for forty
years, will mark a new era in
American finances.
When the great panic of 1893
came on, and the 'little furry" OF
last fall, you simply could not
get any money from a bank as a
loan on any kind of security, and
when the new act becomes law,
any national bank may deposit
it's securities with the Secretary
of the Treasury, and receive bank
notes, with Government backing,
until it can meet its calls for
money. This will certainly make
a panic impossible in prosperous
times, and nothing short OF a
tremendous crop failure will be
able to produce one
A reciprocity treaty was ap-
proved last week between France
and this country, by which we re-
duced the tariff on her wines and
