LETTERS FROM THE
PEOPLE.
DEFENDS ALDERMAN ELLINwOoD.

Rock Island, Aug. 19.-Editor The
Argus: With your permission I wish
to reply to what you say concerning
Alderman Ellinwood in your issue of
Aug. Is. l was one of the Seventh
ward residents present at the council
meeting last Monday evening and
believe | represent their views when
| say that we strongly resent the in
situation that Mr.. Ellinwood played
to the galleries." etc. Those who
know Mr. Ellinwood and have had
anything to do with him, believe that
he is absolutely honest and sincere
and is working for the best interests
of the city. 1t therefore i'll becomes
The Argus to cast such reflections as
are contained in your article of last
evening. You can rest assured that
Mr. Ellinwood is not playing poll
tics overtime etc. | do not believe
that he has the time or inclination to
devote to the political part of it, but
that he tries TO do his very best
as a representative of the people and
| the Seventh ward in particular.
1t is humiliating to see a news
paper of the standing of The Argus
attack an official simply because he
tries 10 do what he considers his
, duty to the people. You say that he
| has "a mania for economy" etc. Don't
you think that economy is needed?
The applause that he received from
! the audience shows that those who
were present endorsed him almost to
a man.

terests of justice and fair play.
am glad the official proceedings
as published in your paper give him
| proper recognition in the several
resolutions which he introduced which
You fail to give him credit for in your
unofficial report. Yours struly,

NOT DEAD. BUT SLEEPING.

A well known resident who is out
late o. nights occasionally, came home
one evening last week. slipped around
to the back door, and took off his
shoes preparatory Ito making a quiet
entrance. He started TO climb the
stairs to the porch, but before he had
taken second step he saw something
that froze the marrow in his bones.
There, turned up toward his gaze in
the soft moonlight. was the face of a
negro girl. the body wrapped in news
papers lying prone in front of the
door. Every remaining hair on the
gentleman's head slowly assumed an
erect position, while the cold chills

place where she left off. She was
not to blame. She deserved sympathy.
the reporter was in the habit of "brac
ing" people anywhere and at any time
he did not feel quite equal to the
task of breaking this particular bit of
news 10 this particular lady, but if
he had been one of the numerous
women who noticed the flaw in her
toilet, especially one of those to whom
she stopped and spoke, he fiatters
himself he would have had the nerve
to have whispered something in her
ear. Would you? WIZ

There is in Rock Island boy of less
than half dozen years, whose mother

his propensity for the use of "cuss"

attended church with his mother
At dinner he broke into the con-
versation with the announcement that
he would not 90 to hear that preacher

USING THE PEDAL.

A crowd of campers was gathered
about their tent one quiet evening not
long ago. Every one was in medita-
tive mood and not much given TO com
munication. In the distance a band
was playing and the crickets We're
ever so busy with their songs. One OF
the young ladies who was listening to
the band, remarked:
Doesn't that sound beautiful"
Yes replied one of the young men
who was evidently listening to the
crickets. And do you know l have
heard that they make that noise with
their hind feet?"

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
'aJernaIIy,

A meeting of representatives of the
Farmers Union and Southern Cotton
Association from all the cotton states
was held here today at which the en-
tire outlook of the cotton situation
for the present and coming crop were
thoroughly discussed and it was the
general consensus of opinion that new
er before were all conditions so favor
able to the holders of cotton and much
better market prices for the remnant
now unsold.
Committees were appointed for each
state to actively cooperate in better.
ing the farmers status and securing
to holders the full worth of the staple
All holders of cotton and members
of both associations will be communi
Gated with and the way pointed out
whereby very much higher prices will
be certainly obtained to all who hold
their cotton.

FROM MINeo, MISS.

To My Dear Old Uncle Tom:
How familiar that name sounds to
me. 1t seems like the name of some
long lost friend or school mate. But
alas, / am sorry to say that never
met the gallant old veteran who signs
the name of Tom S. Haynie. I have
been taking the Advocate for nearly
a year and / noticed that he was
bold and fearless editor, of which
am very proud. We need more like
Uncle Tom to fight our battles. Dad
gum a man behind either the pen or
the polw that is afraid to say what
he thinks. have always been man
with convictions of my own and was
always ready to say just where
stood on any question. Old Uncle
Tom is my man, don't care if he is
nothing but a high private in the rear
ranks. always did love a man with
backbone enough to cover all the
ground he stood on. notice in my
last Advocate that H. w. Bradshaw
is in bad health, and am sorry, sor-
ry to hear of such good man failing
just at the time he is most needed
OF course the work will be ably car,
ried on by Bros. Haynie and Welch
but they can't fill his place for they
must fill their own. Do you union
brothers who are reading these lines
ever think what great sacrifice some
men are making for your benefit. JUS
stop and think moment and perhaps
you who are weak will start out anc
do something yourselves. May thu
union live forever.

cussions have seen on the subject,
one very important thing has been left
out entirely, the money sent away,
sent out of the county, as they call
it. Well, what is the difference; the
difference is, if the merchant sends
it, he pockets a large profit in nearly
all cases, and if the consumer, or user,
sends the money he just saves to
himself that merchants profit. Well,
who needs this profit the most; if a
farmer it is reasonable to suppose
he needs it the most, obviously in eth
er case the wholesale price is sent out
of the county. Now can this be RENE
died? Let our people manufacture what
the people need in this county, this
will settle the question, and it should
be done. The subject Of what ought
to be done is inexcusable promotion
of education in all respects, is indis-
pensible. Many changes in our gen
eral government, in fact many reforms
will have to come before our people
will be safe or the government.
Referring again to the mail order
business, the bowling press certainly
does presume upon the ignorance of
the people from the fact they try to
convey the idea that to buy at home
means to keep all the money at home,
when in fact it only keeps profits here,
which, of course assa rule lands in
the pocket of merciless spectators.
In conclusion will say that the Farm.
ers' Union is all right in our section,
and our people will, in few days
be lectured by competent state lectur
ers. Wishing that we had ten thou
sand, such as T. S. Haynie, in Missis
sippi, men who will stand up for hon
est convictions.

WANTED 100 ORGANIZERS.


It seems that the world, the flesh
the devil and the spectators have
combined against the farmer and with
all my strength, my brain, heart and
soul, / am giving blow for blow and
little more. The farmers, white and
black, must be thoroughly organized
at once and to do this, now an
nounce that am ready to have com
missions sent to any respectable man,
white or colored, who wishes to engage
in this work of organizing the colored
farmers. There are several of these
organizations in the state, but having
investigated all, will only recognize
the Colored Farmers Cotton Business
Cooperative Union and will push it to
complete success. Locals organized
under any other name should write
me at once and get straight. And you,

These are the words of Neill Bros.
the greatest cotton factors in England
and in view of this assertion made
by these gentlemen, the same ought
to encourage all of our brethren to
hold their cotton for our price.
The circular from which the above
was taken also states as follows:
with regard to distribution it is sug
gested that Lancashire spinners en-
gagements are considerable and that
continental spinners are even more

Thus you see, brethren, these spin,

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Just at this precious time, will our
people improve their opportunities to
save themselves, or not, seems to be
the permanent question. See to it.,
that all of them, from this good time
on, raise enough of everything needed
to feed man and beast at home. Kind
Providence has permitted these to
occupy just the kind of locality, where
they can do this, and if they fail not
this within itself will soon make them
independent.
In reference to the things to be done
on diversifcation day, all that need
be done is to adopt a resolution anc
stand by it to the bitter or sweet
end, that they will make a living a.
home in all future time. To say thai
i our people are not well informed il
but to state a plain simple fact, con
cerning their own business and tx
think how cheaply and easily the!
can do this, would only have to tak'
