 "We have long been aware of this con- dition with regard to the marketing or cotton, and we are taking steps to make sure of securing fair price for the sta ple. as of wheat and grain. We long ago discovered that we could not expect to dump our cotton upon the market and pat a lust return for It. Spectators are not philanthropists and they are not In business for their health. They study our affairs almost as carefully as We do ourselves, and they are always ready always anxious, to take advantage Of the man who is in debt and the man who has to sell whether he wants to or not
 "The one way to permanently assure far price for cotton, wheat. grain or any other product is to place ourselves in a position where we are not aosoiuteiy at the mercy of the buyer
 "So far in history, the only method discovered for accomplishing this end 's to keep out of debt as religiously as we can. and then, what is even more import ant, make such arrangements as will en- able us to hold our crops and finance our indebtedness until such time as market prices have reached a just level. My friends, we must come to reiiza- tion of this stern fact; we must place 1t fully in operation in every state where

 "I am gratifed to report that we arc making great progress in this direction. Not only are the various states erecting warehouses and perfecting arrangements to finance their distress cotton, but they are as we'll developing more effective spirit of cooperation.
 "And that is extremely important. The principle of cooperation is SO essential that we have embodied 1t in the name or our order.

CHESTER LINN IS
 AGAIN IN TOLLS
YOUNG MAN HAS MADE SEVERAL ESCAPES FROM ARMY AND ON ONE OCCASION MARRIED WHILE IN LOCAL JAIL.

Chester Linn, quite famous young again captured after having escaped from the federal prison at Ft. Oglethorpe Ga, the second time. As was expected Ches- ter returned to Jefferson county im- mediately after escaping from prison, and he was arrested by Special Deputy Sheriff Hamilton at Warrior night before last.
 The authorities, while confident of catching young Linn in the end, did not suppose that the arrest would be made so early after the youngsters escape. It was supposed that he would pay visit to his people over in the western part of the county and romp around in that neck of the woods for while and then permit himself to be captured. Heretofore when the boy escaped he always went home. and probably intended doing so this time, but was headed off.
 This last arrest was the fourth time the sheriffs deputies have captured Chester Linn He was first arrested for desertion from the United States army, and was committed to the military prison at Ft- Oglethorpe. He escaped and came back to Jefferson county and was married 10 young woman while confined in the county jail. He was sent back to Ft. Oglethorpe and again he broke out of the prison, making two successful deliveries.
 Sheriff Higdon upon being notified Of Linn's arrest, instructed Deputy liam ilton to take the boy directly to Fit. Ogle- thorpe and turn him over to the federal authorities.

DEATH OF RUFUS L. STUB6LE
FIELD.

Rufus L. Stublefield, an old and
well respected citizen of this commur-
ity, died at his home in the northeast
part of town last Sunday evening"
after a lingering illness of nearly a
year. Funeral services were held
at the home Monday at O'Clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. ]. H. Jones. and buri-
al was made in cemetery here.
Mr. Stublefield was seventy-five
years of age at the time of his death.
He was born in Rockingham county
NJ c., in 1884. and was married to
Miss Sarah E. Durham, in Tennessee,
in 1856. From there they moved to
Kentucky in 1859, and from that state
they came to Green county In 1876
and settled near Ash Grove, Missouri,
and have lived in this community
since Gat time, with the exception
of nine years residence in Stone
county.
To know Mr.. Stublefield was to re
spect him. Honest, upright and just
his years were rounded out with a
record of good deeds done and good
words spoken. In his death our COM
munity has lost one of it's truest men
and one of its most honored and re-
spected citizens. He leaves an aged
companion and two children, Mrs.
Laura Cawlfield, of this place, and a
son, to whom the death of husband
and father is great loss, and to
whom the sincere sympathy of the
community goes out in their SORROW

Mr.. Stublefield was a brother of
A. B. and s. B. Stublefield, of this
community, and their many friends

it all, and / has brought the creeter
to turn back to you" When he
walks out, as a rule, the debt is paid
so far as Sambo is concerned. He has
contracted the habit of riding around
to share cropping where he will have
to work. The consequence is "an-
other hand gone to the river"
No one desires to repeal the land
lords lien for rent of land or sup
plies furnished by the owner of the
land to make crop. That is a just
and wise law The land owner foots
the bills; he should have the right
to control the labor that works his
land, and the only way possible is
that advances to that laborer to make
a crop is that such advances must
come through the owner. A man VIII
owns his land can always borrow
money, or get supplies furnished, by
mortgaging it, but when he did mort
gage it he would be interested then
enough to see those who eat the mea
and bread he had furnished worked
and paid for it. Some men who own
farms have no hesitancy in giving

for if it does not pay the debt they
know the land is secure under the
exemption act and buy literally as
possible It would be a great thing
for the merchant for the greater pro-
duction under managed labor would
make larger trade There would be
just as many MONTH to feed and as
much clothing and shoes to buy, with
this difference, that the merchant
would have not only the crop as se-
curity, but the land lords word, or
his land mortgaged to make it good.
For the reason above stated it is not
believed that merchants will oppose
it's repeal for they can be perfectly
secure on all goods sold on credit
if they will exercise business caution.
To successfully farm now large
plough stock must be used, labor
saving implements are necessary and
more intelligence put into farm
work. The average negro laborer
does not want anything larger than

noupcement of Hon. Harvey Helm
asa candidate for denomination
for Congress from the Eighth
Kentucky District. Mr.. Helm
has served his people faithfully
and well, and as such now comes
before them asking another in
dorsement. Relative to his asking
for third term, which some have
said he should not do, Mr.. Helm
gave the following interview.
al will certainly be candidate
to succeed myself in Congress.
There is no precedent in the Eighth
Kentucky District for two term
congressman, and such a precedent
should not be established. My
predecessor served eight years and
his predecessor for twelve. The
asst years of their service were
sAost useful to their constituents.
/ have never made the statement
that l would not be candidate for
the third term.
Several of the Democratic Con-
qressional comittees in Kentucky
have already met and fixed the
time and method for nominating
congressman. The same should be
done in the Eighth District to
avoid complications with the state
races which are already attracting
attention."
