The Farmers Union at Green
brier.

The County Farmers Union
meeting at Greenbrier Monday is
reported to have been a grand sue
cess in every particular. An i'm
mense crowd was present from all
portions of the country, and the
basket dinner, spread in the old
fashioned way on long tables, was
an enjoyable feature.
President Hightower, Of the State
organization. was prevented from
attending as formerly announced,
by reason of his presence at an inn
portant meeting Of the Order al
Memphis. the same day. but the as
sem blage was entertained by State

the subjects Of home support, diver
sification, paying of obligations,
etc, which was well received by his
hearers.

Crusade Against Profanity.

The newspapers of Mississippi, and
their editors who can always be fonnd
on the right side of great moral ques-
tions, are saying considerable these
days about the use of profanity and
the ugliness and uselessness of the
habit. There is a wide divergence OF
opinion as to whether the world is
growing better or worse, but there
can be little argument as to preva-
lence of profane words by old and
young. 1t is habit that could be
easily corrected, and should be by all
means. Nothing can be more often
sive to the ear of a good man or re-
fined women than course or profane
language. The Mississippi newspa-
pers are engaged in crusade that
deserves the earnest support of all
good people. H. E. Blakeslee.

Washington, d. c., Aug. II, 1908.
| With the entrance of Governor Cum
Minis, of Iowa, as the successor of Mr..
| Allison and Joseph l.. BristoW,
as the successor of Mr.. Long in the
| United States Senate, which now
| seems to be certain, Senator LaFol-
lette will be strengthened in his fight
on the conservatives, of whom Aid
rich. Allison and Hale have been the
| leaders.
The defeat of Senator Long in the
Kansas primaries was not altogether
surprise in Washington. 1t has
| been known for some time that Mr..
Bristow was making heavy inroads
on the Long strength. Senator Long
was forced to remain in Washington
because Of the currency fight, and
his absence from Kansas possibly cost
him his seat.
1t is conceded that LaFollette's aid
in Kansas and the perseverance of
s. William Allen White piled up the
big majority with which Bristow won.
The Wisconsin Senator has been an
open enemy of Senator Long ever
White and Senator Long are both
friends of President Roosevelt, yet
Mr.. White chose to support Mr.. Bris-
tow. When the fight on Long was
launched by Bristow. LaFollette
threw himself into it with vigor. He
made a number of speeches through
out the State, in none of which he
spared words in airing his opinion of
Long. His final meeting in Emporia
was attended by thousands and it
was generally agreed that this meet
ing practically settled the fate of the
Senatorship.
Senator LaFollette took an interest
in the Nebraska campaign of Norris
Brown. for the Senate, and Brown
won He didn't approve of Senator
Albert B. Kittridge, of South Dakota,
and went out there TO campaign
against him. Kittridge was defeat
ed, and Governor Coe l. Crawford,
another of the LaFollette type. was
nominated by the Republicans for
Senator.
In this way LaFollette has gradu-
ally won supporters among the new
material, and he viii attempt to over
throw the present organization of the
Senate, and perhaps revise the rules,
for he does not feel kindly towards
that particular section which Sena-
tor Foraker and Aldrich used against
him in tbs closing hours of last ses-
sion, breaking up his filibuster ON the
currency bill.

The Weather and the Crops.

The past week has shown consid-
cradle improvement in the matter
of weather throughout the Cotton
Belt. The heavy rains which fell
during the preceding week in the
south central portions of the Cotton
Belt have been followed by hot
weather, relieved by scattered show
ers. In the more northernly por-
tons of the Belt, where some rain
was needed, good rains fell during
the week. and the Atlantic coast
also received timely rains. Texas
also reported good rains.
Taking the Cotton Belt as a
whole the weather conditions have
been favorable, and it is now adj
mitted that the heavy rains in the
central belt of week ago did little,
if any damage. New bales are put
ting in an appearance at many
points, showing that the crop is
generally earlier than usual, and the
August movement will probably be
the largest on record. There are
/
pect a full crop. and owing to the
forwardness of the plant everywhere
there is less fear of frost than usual
unless the first killing frost should
occur at an uncommonly early date
While the heavy rains of the pre-
ceding week did little damage to
cotton, the corn crop was not so
fortunate in that section which re-
ceived the heaviest rainfall. Much
of the corn was beaten down, and
the sprouting resulting from the ex-
cess of moisture has done consider
able damage. This loss of some of
the expected liberal yield will prove
damaging, owing to the nigh prices
ruling for Western eorn.-New Or
leans Picayune, Aug. 10.

IOC Cotton.

In circular letter dated August
5, Theodore II. Price, well known
as the king of cotton bears, says:
TO the Southern planter / say
there Is no possible reason why you
should accept less than ten cents
per pound for this years crop, how
ever large, and you may be justified
in demanding very much more, if
the crop promises to be less than
lis, 900, 600 bales. Theodore has
pounded the cotton farmers so I'M
mercifully in the past that they are
unprepared to accept his roseate
views without a grain of salt.

GINNERS IN SESSION.

Jackson, Miss. Aug. IA meet
ing of the compress ginners of the
Southern States was held here Tues
day afternoon, and an organization
was perfected and plans taken up to
substitute the compress gin for the
large compress plants now in opera
ton in the cotton belt.
This is the first organization in
the United States for the purpose Of
promoting the compress gin.
Representatives of the largest gin
COMPRISING companies were pres
ent, as were some Of the largest
planters Of Mississippi and Louisi-
ana.
Harvey Jordan. president of the
Farmers Gin and Compress Com
pany, and president of the South
ern Cotton association, was Lead
or at the meeting, called by 5. z.
Dudley, of Hermanville. Miss.
/ Others prominent We're Col. A .
Maxwell whose cotton plantation
probably is the largest in the Unit
ed States, and E. :. Clark, of
Clarksdale, Miss, large and pro-
gressive planter.
The several manufacturing con-
Germs supplying gins are fully rep
presented at the gathering, which
is one of more than usual signifi-
canoe, in view of the fact that a
special sitting of the federal court
will be held here Wednesday, at
which Judge Niles will hear the pc
tition on Atty Gen. Fletcher, ask
ing that the receivership of the
Gulf Compress Company be not al
lowed to interfere with the decree
of the state courts declaring that
the Gulf Compress Company is an
unlawful com bine, and ordering it
ousted from the State.
The compress ginners frankly ac-
knowledge that they hope to profit
by the ousting of the Gulf Compress
Company, and that they viii make
an effort to secure control of the
ginning and COMPRISING in this
State. One strong argument that
| they advance is that the gin com
press saves the farmer $3.50 pei
bale on his cotton, which in Miss
iesippi alone means an aggregate
saving of 81 $50. 900 per annum.
The Lowry round bale interest,
the Farmers Gin and Compress
Company, the Southern Compress
Company, and the Mounger Gin
| Company are the largest concerns
represented. The convention was
called to order at 100 O'Clock

character of man, and will be a
valuable colleague of Senator LaFol-

ton, though a Republican, is a
straw which shows the tendency of

River of Burning Whiskey.

Midway. Ky, Aug 6.-This
town, halfway between Lexington
and Frankfort. was the scene of a
conf1agration that for time threat
ened the town with destruction last
night. The fire, which is believed
to have been Of incendiary origin,
destroyed five warehouses of the 5.
J. Green baum Distilling Company,
entailing a loss at $500, 900. The
flames caused by the burning of the
fOrty-seven thousand barrels of
whiskey, which turned a creek
nearby into a fiery stream, could
be seen for ten miles. The flames
as they coursed down the surface of
the creek destroyed the Southern
Railroad trestle which spans it,
along with a half dozen negro cab
ms. The fire started at about 10
O'Clock last night in warehouse A
and spread rapidly tc the others,
and it was feared for a time that
the whole of the town would be de
stroyed. The wind, howveer, shift
ed. leaving the town in no imme-
date danger of destruction.
While the property loss amounts
to $500, 900, the constructive loss
to the Government by the destruc-
ton of 100000 gallons of whis-
key in bond is about So, 500, 900.
