Some Random Thoughts.

wish the farmers and cotton buy
ors would read carefully the clipping
from The Progressive Farmer on the
subject Of baggins and ties. learn
ed accidentally last summer that ad-
ditional bagging and ties are put on
cotton by exporters. but have refrain
ed from commenting on 1t because so
far have been unable to get direct
proof. Now comes the editorial writ
er of Progressive Farmer and makes
the same statement backed up by the
inquiry of manufacturers in confer
ence with Farmers Union represen-
tatives by asking the question: "Why
Is it that when cotton leaves the far
ners' gin II has only 20 to % pounds
Of tare, but has 81 pounds by the
time IL reaches us?"
In the face of this and the fact that
the price here is based upon net cot
ton in Manchester. England. the buy
ers OF this section have the effrortery
to publish 4 statement that they win
penalize cotton with more than 20
pounds Of tare and refuse to buy any
bale that has a palpable excess.
would not. nor would the Union in
dorse any attempt to load cotton
down with bagging and ties more than
enough to protect 1t. or more than
the acknowledged tare as fixed by the
worlds greatest market; nor dn We
indorse the farmer who packs light
bales Of cotton 20 seil bagging and
boast Of his crop: but do think we
should put on the amount we are en-
titled to. Just why a test case has
net been made this season I. am not
able to say. but OF one thing am
sure this action on the part Of cot
ton buyers. II but Fastening the time
when the farmer through his own or
ganization will handle his own pro-
duct In his own way.
BY the way: 1t is commonly re-
ported that certain mercantile inter-
ests have said they will spend ten
thousand dollars to smash any bust
ness organization the farmers may
start. We are glad to know that they
have that much money to throw
away--money made through farmers
patronage and that was unjustly TAX
en- out of farmers pockets and we
trust that while they are smashing
farmers organizations this money
will find It's way back into the pock-
cts of the farmers. Score two for the
Union!
Score one was when the Union, q
weak local at that. caused rebates to
re returned to non-union farmers last
spring on fertilizer sales.
1t Is sad to see how Southern spin
ners are going to be fooled this sea-
son as they were several years age
when the cheap cotton was exported
and our mills had to scramble Tor a
supply OF cotton at one or two cents
above the foreign spinner. f. y. =

OLD ENGLISH TEA TO BE EVENT OF THURSDAY.

All society is apparently charity pos sessed, judging from the enthusiasm ex- hibited in the tea which is to be given
 by the ladies of St. Mary's church Thurs day It will be a novel entertainment and every effort will be made to have
 it a successful one. Charity Is the noblest cause that could have melted the affair and charity for the sake of little chil- dren makes 1t a beautiful cause indeed. Dr. J. D. Dabney's home will be thrown open in giving the tea and It's "Old Eng ush' interior suggested its character. The spacious and dignified apartments with a broad sweep from room to room and
 the English furnishings will make it a picturesque setting for the tea-a func- ton English in the extreme.
 Since the visit of Sister Sarah of Mo
 bile, during the Episcopal diocesan coun- ell a month ago, St. Mary's church has planned to do something to aid in a work which made the strongest and most Irresistible appeal to those to whom she told the pitiful story of the orphans in the home at Mobile. The plans are now perfected and Thursday set apart. The tea will be given both afternoon and evening, the hours being 4:80 and S:3o. A very small admission fee will be asked at the door and no other money features win be presented. One bright woman, who Is enthusiastic in her anx- iety to help the little orphans of the
