HIGH SCHOOL
PICNIC LAST FRIDAY

One of the most enjoyable
days Prescott has witnessed in a
long time was had here last Fri
day. 1t was the occasion of the
closing exercises of the Tom
Allen High School. The city
park was a veritable play house
for the children all day long.
After the school exercises in
the morning the whole school
and large crowd present was en-
tertained for an hour by an ad-
dress by Prof. J. J. Doyne,
superintendent of the state
Normal school at Conway. This
was an intellectual treat to hear
this distinguished educator.
In the afternoon the different
field games were pulled off and
many prizes were given for the
best runner. jumper. etc, etc.
Among the most interesting
thing of the entire program was
an exhibition of the work done
in all the different grades in the
school, such as writing, arithme-
lie, spelling. essay, drawing, in
fact, all of the work that had
been done in the school room.
This willLbe a day long remem-
bered by the school children of
Prescott.

CAUGHT HIM AGAIN

Richard Porter, constable of
Boughton township, caught a
convict nigger some time ago
near his home and carried him
to the house and fastened him
with a chain while he got dinner,
and while he was eating the
negro escaped. Last Friday he
located him in Camden and
landed him safe to Mr.. Weigle
from whom the darkie escaped
some time last February.

damage.
The Farmers Union, of Geor-
gia, saved the farmers of that
State in one year on fertilizer
alone more than the Union has
cost all of us in the different
States during its whole time Of
existence. And to come nearer
home, the Union people in some
parts of this county did equally
as we'll this year. Is this doing
anything? And yet there are
farmers who say they will join
when the Union does something!
Will some Union man tell them
some of the things that have
been done?
Those in the fruit district
know very well what the Union
has done for them in raising the
price on the berries and other
fruits. Those in the cotton dis
trict do not need to be told how
the price of seed has gone sky
ward. Yet there are skeptics
who do not give the Union credit
for the advance on the price of
seed. But. we find seed selling
for two to three dollars less per
ton where the Union does not
handle them.

OBITUARY.

In Memory of Elias Mitchell.
He was born September 18th,
1889. Departed this life April
18th, 1910.
One precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved Is stilled,
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled
Our Father in his wisdom called
The bloom his love had given,
And though on earth the body hes
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy marble brow;
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no Elias now.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and loving care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
We loved him, yes We loved him
But the angels loved him more,
So the Savior sweetly called him
To that bright and peaceful shore.
No more We see his loving face
Or hear his precious Voice,
But he Is living with the good,
1t makes our hearts rejoice.

A WORD TO
THE FARMERS

your VdluaDle paper | Will try TO
say few words to the farmers
who read it.
| am Union man and hope
what | say will be to the interest
of the Union. When say that |
am a Union man, | don't only
mean that | believe the Uuion is
a good thing and wish it success,
but mean that | belong to the
Union, keep my dues paid, at
tend the meetings, and do all
can to build up my Local. There
are a great many farmers who,
when you ask them if they are
Union men, will say, very quick
ly that they are. Then if you
ask them where they hold men,
bership, they will say, Il don't
belong to the Union but | am as
strong in the faith as any men,
ber you have" Now if these
men are so much in sympathy
with the Union, why don't they
join in and help it all they can?
Now. when you ask a farmer,
who is in not a member, why he
doesn't join the Union, he will
very likely say that he cant see
anything it has done, and that
he will join if any one will show
him where there is any good in
it. With these | have but very
little patience. But if they will
open their eyes and read they
can see" few things.
To sum it all up, the Union is
striving for more equitable
prices for their commodities. |
submit a few figures to show
what success we have made
along this line. The Union was
organized in August, 1862; there
fore, is now nearly eight years
old. By referring to the Report
of the Secretary of Agriculture
we find that we have received on
an average $1,000 per bale for
our cotton for these eight years
while for the same time preced-
ing the organization of the Union
we received on an average only
$36.67 per bale. Hence the
Union has to it's credit a gain to
to the farmers of the South, an
average of $13, 33 per bale.
During this time we have
marketed about 94, 200, 900 bales
of cotton. Multiply this by the
gain on each bale (13. 33) and we
have the neat little sum of one
and one quarter billion dollars
How does this sound for results
When | hear farmer say that
he thinks the Union is all right
and that he expects to join if
they ever do anything, | feel
like closing my eyes and saying,
God pity his ignorance and help
him to become enlightened. . If
the Union ever does anything!
When it is saving the agricultu-
raj classes millions of dollars
every year! You ask how it has
accomplished these results. |
answer by advocating the rails
ing of such other products as we
live on at home. This neces-
sarily reduces the cotton acreage.
thereby reducing the cotton pro-
duction. Since one of the factors
in fixing the price of cotton or
any other product is SUPPLY and
DEMAND, we necessarily have an
increase in price; then nature
came to our aid by still furthur
reducing the crop with a drouth.
However, we must consider the
fact when calculating the bene-
fits of a drouth in raising prices
that our production is smaller
compared to the labor expended,
therefore, net always a benefit.
Hence we cannot depend on the
drouths or even figure them as
real factors in bettering our
conditions, but rather to the

FOR WASHINGTON MEMORIAL.
Plan to Erect Building in Capital
City Given Impetus,

Washington. Feb. 19.-The plan to
erect a memorial building to Wash
ington in this city received impetus
today at meeting held under the
auspices of the George Washington
Memorial association. 1t was pre-
sided over by justice Harlan of the
supreme court and among the speak.
ers who urged that the plan be car.
ried out speedily were President Taft
and Senators Lodge and Hepburn.
The plans Of the association re
quire that a fund of s2.500,OO0 be
raised; 100000 of which will be de.
voted to the erection of the building
and the remaining 100000 to it's
maintenance. Certain sections of the
building will be turned over, free of
charge, to societies of patriotic, sci
entific or educational character for
their national and international con.
ventions. The Washington Academy
of Sciences and its affiliated soci.
eties,and the National Academy of
Sciences are to have their permanent
headquarters in this building, and
probably number of the larger pat
riotic societies.

GRAND JURY TO ACCUSE NATION.

RESULT OF COLD STORAGE PROBE
Several of Biggest Beef Men in the
County Are to be Named Individ-

ment.

New York, Feb 19-Prosecuto Gar.
ven said that acting upon his recon-
mendation, the Hudson county grand
jury of New Jersey had instructed him
to draw up the form of an indictment
against the National Packing company
and its directors. The grand jury, he
said, had positive evidence that food
products have in some instances been
kept in cold storage for seven years.
1t was stated that the National
Packing company had already been in.
dicted.
For more than fortnight the Hud-
son county grand jury has been in
yestigating not only the preservation
of foodstuffs, but the alleged affilia-
tons of the railroads and the western
packers with cold storage houses in
Jersey City. Any Indictment found,
Mr.. Garven said would be broad
enough to cover every detail of the
case in which he thought the chance
of conviction possible.
In his belief the best proof of con-
spiracy to restrain trade lay in the
minutes of the National Packing COM
pany which he had in his possession,
and which had been read to the grand
jury. Under provision of New Jer-
sey law the minutes of corporations
chartered by the state are always
available.
In the directorate of the National
Packing company appear the names of
many recognized holders of great pack
ing interests.
The directors are: j. Ogden Armour,
Edwin Morris, E. F. Swift, E. w. Nor
ris, Arthur Meeker, Edward Tilden, T.

son, G. H. Swift, L. H. Heyman, Sam

K. McLaren. 1t is understood that
each of them will be named specificai-
ly with the exception of Mr. McLaren,
who is resident of New Jersey as
required by law and has no known
active share in the management of
the company.

now that the next session of the

While the annual meetings would
ordinarily come in December, it has
been deemed advisable by the officers

by the recent convention, meeting
should be held before the party pri
maries this year. Word has been ac
cordingly sent to this city to see ii
any objections would be had to this

ADoLPH BEHRENs, OF SEATTLE,
SUBPOENAED TO AID
SEcRETARY'S CASE.
BEFORE CONG. PROBE COMMITTEE
Interior Chiefs Accuser is censured
for crying Strings to Answers
Chairman knute Nelson Grows
Impatient.

Washington, Feb. 19.-When the
tigating committee resumed proceed
ings following short executive ses-
sion, Attorney Vertrees for the de-
tense asked that Adolph Behrens, of
Seattle, Wash, be subpoenaed to ap-
pear as witness before the commit
tee.
The cross-examination of Lewis r.
CLAWS was then continued
Attorney Vertrees announced in con-
nection with the request for sub
poena for Behrens that it was expected
to impeach parts of Claws story by
the testimony of this witness. CLAWS
testified that Beherns and Land Com
missioner bennett took lunch together
in Seattle, and seemed on cordial
terms the very next day after bennett
had professed not to know Behrens,
who is one of the Alaska coal claim
ants. Vertrees said Behrens already
had made an affidavit denying all of
Claws testimony.
Claws Motive is Sought.
Vertrees questioned CLAWS at some
length regarding his motive for bring
ing to the attention of the committee
lot of rules and regulations regarding
coal land entries in Alaska when Sec
rotary Ballinger had made only one
slight change in the rules.
"Was it to leave an unfavorable in.
ference in the minds of the commit
tee?" demanded the attorney.
| CLAWS would not answer directly
He said he thought he had given some
testimony favorable to Ballinger.
The examination had not gone along
very much further when the attorney
and the witness locked horns again on
the subject of direct answers. Yer
trees protested to the committee that
CLAWS always "ties string to his an
swers" and proceeded:
Il am trying to get at the pur
| pose, the motive, the object of the
witness, whether it is innocent OF
malicious"
Congressman Vexed by CLAWS.
Brandeis. attorney for CLAWS, arose
He declared CLAWS had stated his pur
pose in this inquiry.
HE has no other motive than to tel
the TRUTH" shouted the lawyer. "He
is bringing all the facts he can before
the committee-all that he considers
important-to assist the committee il
considering Ballinger's case"
Chairman Nelson said:
Il want to say, however, the com
mittee will be able to judge of the
facts produced in this case and the
only effect of these long answers will
arguments appended is simply to de
lay proceedings"
