Union Warehouse Association.

Union Warehouse Association.
A meeting of the greatest signill-
canoe To the raisers, handlers and users
OF cotton in this state, and of vital in
terest and consequence to the entire
state, was held here this week. The
meeting was chiefly made up of the
managers of the Farmers Union cotton
warehouses in Mississippi, and was held
under call of President Hightower,
of the Mississippi Farmers Union
Warehouse asset ition, its avowed OBJ
ject being to form IL state federation of
the Farmers Union warehouses in this
state.
Local organizations of the union have
been active in establishing cotton ware
houses at central an convenient points,
in which the cotton producer could
store his cotton and receivd an advance
OF a certain per cent. with which to
meet pressing financial obligations and
necessities. Indiv .dually these ware
houses could not accomplish much, and
The proposition now is TO amalgamate
them and put them under one manage
ment.
The organization proposes to raise
money on the cotton itself by using it
as security, and this money will be
loaned to the owners of the cotton, If
desired, under certain rules.

Gulfport Rate Case.

In the Gulfport cotton rate case the
railroad commission made an order in
accordance with the prayer OF the petit
TONERS. The commission does not un-
dertake to designate any rate, but the
order to the railroads directs that they
make such rates effective as are now in
effect to New Orleans or Mobile from
points in Mississippi. 1t is in order for
the railroads, If they accept the dictum
of the commission, to get together and
make the rate, afterward submitting it
to the commission, as the law directs.
In the event of failure of the roads to
make this rate the commission will fix
a rate and take steps to have it enforced.

THE BANK GUARANTEE
PLANK.

One plank in the democratic plat
torn which should attract the support
of every bank depositor in the United
States is that demanding bank de-
post guarantee. Although some of
the bankers themselves oppose this
law, especially those of the republican
faith, who perhaps cannot be per-
suaded that any good thing can come
out of Nazareth-or the democratic
party-yet it is a fact that many of
the more progressive and observant
of the bankers themselves prefer this
plan to that of the postal savings
system, which the republicans pro-
pose to inaugurate. The fifteen mil
lion bank depositors in the United
States should not fail to see that this
law would be absolutely fair, and is
actually necessary for their protec-
ton. AS Mr.. Bryan points out in his
strong argument for this particular
platform demand, 1t is absurd and I'M
Just to deny to people who put their
money into the banks for safe keep
ing any guarantee whatever that
they will get it back whenever they
want it. The banks keep the money
and lend it, earning big profits on it,
and yet are required to give no Sc
exSity whatever for its payment to
dep6sitors. The government itself
requires gilt-edged security before it
viii put, its money into the banks,
and the banks themselves will only
lend money under similar security,
yet the people who place their money
in the banks are obliged to do so
merely on faith, as it were.
The notable success that has re-
suited from the experiment with the
bank guarantee law in the new state
of Oklahoma is encouraging the
friends of the plan all over the I'm
ion. In fact, the onwers of the Ma
tional banks themselves, foreseeing
the growing popularity of state
banks, in those states that will fol-
low Oklahoma's example and adopt
the guarantee measure for state
banks. are coming more and more to
favor the plan. 1t will not only save
depositors, but also insures the banks
themselves against disaster. This is
beyond a doubt one of the strongest
planks in the democratic platform. It
is one which appeals so directly to
the common sense of the people that
it is bound to convince any man of
its justice, if he will take the trouble
TO investigate the plan.

Afeer Judge Taft's friends ridicul-
ing Mr.. Bryan for making phono-
graph records of his speeches on the
leading political issue, Judge Taft
has concluded to initiate the Nebras-
kan Far from being ridiculous, this
method of reaching the people all
over the country appears both prae-
ticable and effective. There is really
nothing derogatory to ones dignity
in doing so. The worlds most noted
singers and lecturers have not
thought it beneath them to make rec
ords of their songs or lectures for re-
production by the wonderful phono-
graph. Many person will listen to
a speech, when they will not read it
through, and those who cannot per-
sonally hear the candidates are more
than glad to hear what they have to
say, even at second baud, as it were.

w w. Woodbridge, chief clerk of the
passenger traffic department of the

road, who met with a painful railroad
accident at Robstown a few days ago,
is reported as doing nicely in the
Spohn Satitarium at Corpus Christi,
where he was taken Immediately af-
ter the accident. He was attempting
to board moving train, when his
foot slipped and he was thrown to

work will be attended to by A. E.

Mrs. H. NJ. King will no doubt be
glad to learn that she has almost en-
tirely recovered from her recent Sc
we're spell of illness. She was taken i'll
at Santa Gertrudis some three or four
weeks ago, and at one time her con-
dition became so alarming that DR..
A. E. Spohn, the family physician,
was called from Colorado, where he
had gone on short vacation, to at
tend her So improved is her condi-
ton that she will leave in a few days
for her Corpus Christi home, where

N. Miller is now visiting Mrs. King
and Mrs. Kleberg at Santa Gertrudis.
Miss Mary Miller, of the auditors

from her summer vacation, which she
spent principally in Colorado. On the
return home, at some point on the
road between Buckeye and Refugio,
she had the misfortune to lose her
hat which, it is presumed fell from
the rack and blew out of the window
Miss Miller takes her loss good-nat-
uredly and smiles pleasantly when
her friends ask her how in the world
she managed to lose so big a thing
