also began to study chemistry without
calling it by that name. They quit
quarreling with merchants, bankers and
cotton buyers. While in that frame of
mind the Cotton Association came into
existence. They understood that it
differed from the old Alliance principles.
There were no secret meetings. They
had no enemies to punish. They did
not contemplate the establishment of
stores and banks. The fact is they
were taught that all honest business
men were friends of the farmer.
Thus the teaching of the Cotton AS
sociation moved the intelligent farmers
forward in the right direction. 1t caused
abuses and dishonest methods in the
agricultural department at Washington
to be corrected. 1t called the attention
of gamblers in cotton factors to the
fact that they were nothing but gam
blers. 1t set spinners in this country
and Europe to thinking along different
lines from what they had been accus-
toned to do. Then came the Farmers
Union. secret organization, but APP
parently working to accomplish the
same results aimed at by the Cotton
Association.
One excellent result of all these years
of schooling is that the farmers have
been gaining much knowledge relating
to their business. They are learning
how to improve the soil and make larger
yields with less labor. Wonderful i'm
provements have been made in the last
decade in making the farms better and
the homes more comfortable. But the
best result is that class hatred has been
eliminated from the farmers thought
and talk. They understand that bank
ers, merchants, cotton buyers and pro-
tesslonal men are their friends They
have no enemies now except gamblers
in cotton and grain who seek to make
money by dishonest methods. They
will not give up the fight until gambling
exchanges are removed and honest
methods prevail in the sale and pur-
chase of farm products. The farmer
has certainly been at school, and while
he has been slow, bluntering scholar,
he has learned many things, and he will
acquire much more knowledge in the
future. News and Courier.
