Oxford, Mise. Aug. 18th. 1908.


Yesterday was field day for the
Lafayette County Farmers Union. The
meeting was at the camp-ground
three miles east of oxford. A splendid
body of representative farmers met
there at an early hour, many of them
accompanied by their wives and daugh
ters.
The camp-ground is an ideal place
for such meeting. The level campus
is surrounded by splendid forests and
rolling hills and many springs of fine
water gush from the hills in every
direction The tabernacle open on all
sides will seat from 500 to 1000 peo-
pie. The first speaker in the morn
ing was Mr. Afford of Pike county,
whom your correspondent failed to
hear, followed by Prof. Ames OF the
experiment station at Holly Springs.
who is not only an educated scientific
farmer but refined and pleasant gen
tleman His talk on terracing. soil
preparation, and modes of cultivation
was not only interesting but very in
structive. He was followed by Hon.
George r. Hightower, the states presi-
dent Of the Farmers Union who is a
resident of our city, and who is active
ly ingaged in canvass of the state
preaching unionism and its principles
Your correspondent is not a union
man, is not eligible to membership and
has no ak to grind, but desires to say
that if the meeting yesterday is fair
sample of the great meetings that are
being held all over the south by the
farmers, then not only the farmers
but every patriotic citizen of the state
ought not only to bid them God speed,
but ought in a more material way en-
courage, support and in financial
way aid In this great movement to
weld into one solid body these earnest,
honest, splendid men in their efforts
to educate and uplift, not only the
farmers, the wealth producers of the
county, but the whole southland.
Mr.. Hightower's speech was listened
to for more than two hours, and made
converts of many men who had not
studied the union and its principles,
He showed conclusively that there was
no antagonism between the union and
the merchants and professional men.
but on the contrary showed there was
a community of interests and that
there should be harmony and concert
Of action instead Of antagonism and
criticism.
President Hightower's speech was
magnificent effort, was we'll received.
and carried conviction to many doubt
ers.
After his speech the ladies' spread
a magnificent and bountiful dinner,

which was enjoyed by the hungry
crowd, and noticed that the men
who were not members of this great
order and not eligible to membership,
made ''full hands at the table and
showed they we're in full sympathy
with this part of the movement at
least. After only short interval the
call was made for reassembuling Of
the well-fed and happy crowd.
Then Rev. r.. "A. N. Wilson of Bates
vile took the stand. The stand was
not the only thing he took. He took
the crowd and for three hours held
them hanging on his words of wisdom,
patriotism, wit, humor and fealty to
God and native land.
If there were any doubling
Thomases as to the wisdom of this
great farmers movement before this
earnest Christian man spoke, there
were none afterwards.
He showed clearly that the farmers
had a right to organize; that they
ought to organize; that the principals
of the organization were broad enough
for any good man to endorse, and that
no man who was eligible to member
ship ought to wait to see whether it
was going to succeed or not but ought
to at once join and make it succeed.
He showed that the purposes of the
organization were equity, justice and
the Golden Rule
There were quite number of bust
ness and professional men out from
Oxford, and this correspondent regrets
that every man in the county who has
any prejudice against this order was
not present to hear these patriotic
men expound the principles and pur-
poses of this great order. believe
that every citizen who is not eligible
to membership in the union If he fully
understood its purposes, would be will
ling not only to give 1t his moral sup
port but to contribute financially to
its success.
"A business meeting was held today
presided over by Fronts Linker, one
Of the most progressive young farmers
in the county and president of the
Farmers Union.
The influence of these meetings will
be felt for many days and great good
flow from them
AS ninety per cent of the leaders
in the pulpit, at the bar, on the bench,
in the medical profession, in the finan-
tcial world and in the halls of legisla-
tion come from the farms, the farm
ers ought to feel pround Of their call
ing and every citizen ought to be glad
to aid in their prosperity and pro
gress.
Long live the Farmers Union.

President of Yalobusha County
Union, Capt J. G. Collins answers the
significant contribution to these col
umns by G. w. Powell Of Bole, Miss,
as follows:
Union Advocate:
have Just read in your issue of the
7th inst, very significant contribu-
tion to your columns from Brother G..
W. Powell of Bole, Miss.
The subject matter he presents for
ventilation is one that we may openly
discuss. in fact / can think of nothing
that we need go behind the curtain
to dilate upon touching the business
features of the Farmers Union. Our
cause is based upon righteous princi-
pies, and hence we are prepared to
discuss in the open any reformation
that may tend to result in harmony
with our platform Of principles to be
seen and read by all classes.
He refers to the negro as a factor
that needs to be reckoned with in the
production of cotton. In this he is
evidently right.
The so per cent that he makes of
this crop, cut quite figure in con-
trolling the price. Generally the cot
ton he makes is under the control of
some merchant who furnishes him on
a credit, supplies. Most of the
darkies esteem, and too much so with
the white farmers, the idea of having
a merchant "run them" as they call
it. / have oftentimes heard them in
a boastful way say, "Mr. So and So
will credit me for anything WANT
They never seem to consider what
they have to pay for such a whistle Z
Now, for the remedy: 1t has been
said as long as can remember, that
the monkey and the negro, are in their
tendencies, initiative Are we not all
more or less carrying the rock in one
end of our meal sack? But IN the
principle there comes no harm 50 long
as we follow good precepts.
So all we need do in the white
union is to set a good example and
get our business methods satisfactory
and popular Our calling needs but lit
tie effort to accomplish this end. if
we will just assert and maintain that
manhood compatible with our avoca-
tion, the work is done.
AS soon as the negro sees that we
are moving upon higher plane Of
prosperity, they will not be slow in
organizing their forces, initiating the
precepts, we must first establish.
Don't harp too much on their ignor
ance, there are plenty in their ranks
qualified to lecture and organize their
own locals. If we will set them a pat
tern of stickability of the "Confedar-
ate Grip" model. dare say they will

ANENT THE NEGRO UNION MEMBER.

improve on it, and perhaps make some
of us ashamed Of that lethergy which
.creeps SO readily into our ranks, which
they are noticing with much concern.
The creditors are counselling with
them and constantly saying to them,
20, the Farmers Union will soon go
to pieces like the Grange and Alliance
and be the laughing stock of the coun-
try" The negro being of a suspicious
nature is easily deferred from acting,
but if we will be loyal, true and faith
full in the discharge of our obligations
and duties in our unions they will
gradually cross over and follow the
pattern we carve out for the elevation
of the honest labor that feeds and
clothes all alike.
So my good Brother Powell, don't
begin to hang your lip and speak of
the dark days in history being repeat
ed yet awhile. A half-armored soldier
will never reach the goal of noble ex-
pectations. We are not near the end
of the battle and the Philistines are
watching our movements with
hawks eye, and as long as they see
a file leader murmuring, talking of
past defeats the song goes down the
line,
Now the way to overcome the ca
lamity confronting you is to shuck
yourself Of every incumbrance, either
of mind or body, and initiate that
ancient preceptor who put on what
lis known as the whole armor'' all
though like our union, disdainful in the
eyes of the stalwarts in commerce. He
won the battle.
So, my brother, let this history
refer to be in your minds eye as the
incentive for action rather than that to
which seems to be hanging SO lower
ingly at present athwart your piIgrim-
age in the Mississippi division Of the
great union of America.
Now, let's hear from some other
county on this question, what say you
Brother Powell?
In multitude Of counsel It's said
there's wisdom. Now you good think
ers and splendid critics 60 to exercis-
ing your physical forces, take hold of
your pen and put your ideas down on
paper and send them to the Advocate
for publication. You may prove your
sell to be a philosopher of the bright
est ray in the great arch we are
erecting for the benefit Of servile hui
manity. see?

We hope the national constitution
will have the proper attention at Fort
Worth and necessary amendments
passed and approved.

Running Amuck at Roseau.

Crookston Journal: Running at

miles north of here, his location
unknown and means of life only
the fish of the streams and what
ever he can steal with his cunning
in the settlements at night is an
insane patient in search of whom
all the forces that Roseau county
can bring to bear will organize as
soon as Sheriff Richmond returns
home. The sheriff passed through
here yesterday. The patient left
his home one night about two weeks
ago and has not yet been located.
He became fearful that enemies
were on his track and his unnatural
cunning has aided him in avoiding
all search parties yet organized.
Upon apprehension he will be taken
to Fergus Falls hospital for the

The name of George E. Ericsson of
Spooner has been quite frequently
mentioned of late in connection
with the Republican nomination
for county attorney of Beltrami
county, and the mention has always
been favorable to Mr.. Ericsson. AS
MI. Ericsson is aresident of the north
end of the county, from which there
has never been, so far, county
Off eholder, it would seem fair to
that end of the county to give Mr..
Ericsson the nomination, more espec-
tally as he is we'll qualified for the
position mentioned.
George E. Ericsson is "a years old.
He is a native of Minnesota, and
was born October II, 1874, at Red
Wing, this state.
Mr.. Ericsson is graduate of the
University of Minnesota, and was
admitted to the bar in January, 1897.
During 1897 and 1898 Mr.. Ericsson
served as municipal Judge of Red
Wing, and gave entire satisfaction
in that position.
In 1899 Mr.. Ericsson moved to
Argyle, where he lived prior to going
to Spooner to make his home.
In 1902 MIR. Ericsson entered a
three-cornered fight in Argyle for

the republican nomination for county
attorney of Marshall county. He
was opposed by Greeley Carr of
Stephen, man with plenty of means
and all kinds of backing, and also
S. J. Beardsley, another prominent
attorney of Marshall county; Mr..
Ericsson, although not very well
known, put upa fight against Carr
that cost the latter a small fortune,
Carr winning out by one vote.
Mr.. Ericsson showed he was a
good fellow and conceded the
nomination to Mr.. Carr, the latter
being exceedingly pleased that he
was not forced to contest the result
of the election with Mr.. Ericsson.
Mr.. Ericson's candidacy for county
attorney is being we'll received in
Bemidji and this part Of Beltrami
county. He has not authorized any
announcement that he is a can
didate for county attorney, but it is
believed that if proper overtures
were made to him he would enter
the race.
At any rate, Mr.. Ericsson would
make good county attorney; and he
will undoubtedly get the support of
all classes of people if he decides to
become a candidate.

COURT WILL CONVENE
AT BAGLEY JUNE End
Judge Stanton Will Preside, and a
Number Of Indicted Persons
will Be Tried.

Bagley, May 7.-(Special to
Pioneer. AN adjourned term of
the district court will be held at this
place commencing June 2.
At that time number of persons
who are awaiting trial, having been
indicted for different causes at the
February term of court, will be tried.
Judge Stanton, the newly-ap-
pointed judge, will probably hear
these cases.
Among several cases to be tried
are those of forty-eight settlers who
are resisting an assessment for
bitches, the settlers claiming as their
defense that these assessments were
made before they had proven up on
their homesteads.
