The Mississippi Union advocate and Southern farm and home. (Jackson, Miss.) 1907-1909, 1908-02-05
FROM OUR PRESIDENT ELECT
WHO GIVES ENCOUR
AGEMENT.

The farmers have already gained
their fight for better prices for cot
ton and the only thing now to do
is to exercise a degree Of patience
and get the fruits Of that victory.
The Mills have adopted a hand to
mouth policy, buying just enough
cotton to keep them running in
the hope that the producer will
grow tired and sell his cotton at a
less price than the minimum, Is cts.
believe the holders of cotton in
Mississippi understand the situa-
ton fully and will refuse to sell for
less than the price fixed by the
Union.
The reports at the Memphis Con-
vention we're to the effect that this
anne determination is very pro-
nounced in every cotton state.
When the money panic swept
over the country, cotton would have
gone to seven cents per pound in a
very short time had it not been for
the determined, organized effort Of
our people. And but for this same
effort cotton would be selling today
in all of our local markets for s cents
or less. Such a victory as this
ought to be enough to convince the
weakest brother that our Union is
able to DO things. We must not
be satisfied with the success we
have had, but continue the charge
until complete victory is won by
securing IS cents for the remaidner
OF our crop.
G. r.. HIGHToWER.

stand together and disappoint their
hopes Il say, stand solid till the
angel Gabriel blows a truce. There
are Union men whose intentions
are good, but who lack the grit
to stand by their rights.
We need a deep, strong lecturer
here to get some to thinking in
the right way about Unionism, and,
Brother Haynie, think you should
come to us. We have tried to
get lecturer SO often and every
time we have failed, but we hope
to soon succeed.
Now, Union friends, let us one
and all take Brother Browns ad-
vice and begin anew; let each one
do his part and it will not leave so
much work for the few who are
working, and last, but in no wise
least, let us all help Brother Haynie
for he has lots to do and bear.
May the year 1908 go down in
history as one that brought triumph
and success to the cause of the
farmer and may the Supreme Being
above guide us and be with us in
all our efforts and crown us with
success, if God be for us no man
scan stand against us. God bless
our editor and make him patient
with those who villify and abuse
him, and God bless the ADVOCATED!

THE BOIL WEEvIL.

"A few words relative to the boil
weevil, it's invasion Of Mississippi,
and the most practical method of
combating it may be Of interest
to the readers of the ADVOCATE.
1t may be argued that the weeviI
is not here yet, but it is surely
coming, and in time of peace it
is well to prepare for war. This
pest is native to Mexico, and first
crossed into Texas at Brownsville
about Is years ago Since that
time it has gradually but surely
advanced eastward until last fall
it was for the first time discovered
east of the Mississippi river With
in three or four years it is quite
probable that the whole State viii
be infested, and within ten or twelve
years the entire South.
1t is our purpose neither to ex-
aggerate nor to minimize the ser
iousness of this invasion. We only
hope that our farmers and business
men will see clearly the situation
as it really exists, and neither
become panic-stricken on the one
hand nor oyer-optimistic on the
other.
The situation is certainly one
of the most serious that has ever
confronted the Southern cotton
grower. Almost without exception
the advance Of the pest through
Texas and Louisiana has been ac-
companied by greatly curtailed
yields, temporary depreciation
of land values, and a period of
business depression; and / see no
reason to doubt that Mississippi
will for time suffer the same eff
fects. But it may be argued that
Texas is today making as much
cotton as she ever did, and last
year even made the biggest crop

The UNDERGONE.

The thoughtful student Of mod
ern social and economic conditions,
who reads the accompanying satire,
will discover in it much more than
the mere words would ordinarily
convey, and vii read into it such
measure Of philosophy as his own
experience and critical study Of the
problem Of human existence may
have prepared him for.
Ten thousand years ago, when
the owl sat in the light of the moon
and unknown deities spat wisdom
into the PHILOSOPHERS Of Hermes
and Ioroaster and their more Of
less erudite predecessors, the ear
liest gods with their bird like heads
and male bodies, were yet vehicles
of truth, elevating the frail stock
Of humanity over which they threw
their benign influences.
Since recorded history began, the
world has had many gods, and
many books concerning them have
been written, determining by much
labor Of the head which should be
worshipped, rather than impressing
the heart with sincere desire to
travel in divinely appointed ways

FROM BROTHER ANDERSON.
DEAR EnITnR RRnTHER


While there is no complaint of
the great educational work done
among our people in the last year,
yet there remains much to be done
and / hope that our officials will
see to it that immediate steps are
taken to set on foot such a cam
paign of education as will reach
every laborer in the State. Show
them the political hell into which
they are being forced, and then
point them to Savior that is able,
ready and willing to save. If it
takes an assessment or individual
contribution to put a sufficient
number of Union preachers in the
field and distribute literature; let
us have it because of a well known
fact that we will never succeed until
our people are better educated in
the science of government. Stand
firm, brother, and fear no evil from
the agents of hell, for God and the
patriotic citizens are with you
Yours truly,
). w. ANDERSON,
Collins. Miss.

AS Une mere grasses, priests and
kings have trampled upon the
masses have been at once their
masters, their deities and inter
prefers Of deity. Their rank ma
terialism has always complacently
.overrated itself, while the world,
which labors and runs, has ever
been chained to and crushed be-
meath it. Man knew not the power
OF God within himself.
III
Many unthinking as well as vic
ious men, both in ancient and mod
ern times, who have by accident
of birth and condition been sent
in authority over their fellows, or,
who have by their own efforts been
raised to positions of power and
responsibility in the state and among
the great captains Of industry, have
thought to ignore their dependence
upon the lower orders of society
for the very altitude they have
enjoyed the head refusing, as it
were, to consider the feet as part
af the body corporate and entitled
to no more than the pleasure of
mere existence. Such heads apply
no healing balm to weak and
wounded extremities, but proffer,
instead, the scourge, i. e., starva
tion, long days Of poorly remunera
ted toll, squalid surroundings lin
ancient times the guillotine, the
gallows and the rack in modern
days, ostracism, the prison and the
electric chair. The blood Of the
Christ's divinity flowed that love
and mercy might be exemplified
but it cannot sprinkle the world
with saving grace, SO long as its
own herald, the Church, continues
to say, Amen" to the master, and
Peace, be still" to the slave.
When there crept into the world
the first dull, unreasoning sense of
injury, when the underlings Of hui
manity first began to assimilate
from the common vein Of intelli-
gence that made one with the body,
a sensible desire for recognition on
the ground Of equality, they were
promptly denied any part what
soever in the material and spiritual
accretions Of generations Of labor;
and then was inaugurated the re-
volt that has been prolific through
all past time, Of war and misery,
of violence, pillage and murder
III.
In the light Of experience the
heads Of humanity have seldom
profited by the tutelage Of whips
and blood and torture. Without
respect for rights and demands
when opposed to their selfish ma
terial interest, they have held not
their Bibles in their hands, where
the light might illlmine its pages,
but have placed the Sacred Book
under their feet while making pray
ers to stocks and bonds.
