" Wake Up, Brothers! ;"

Dear Sir:-I want to congratulate
you for the manner in which you are
exposing the rascality that's being
practiced by certain would-be bosses
in the Farmers Union. We had
live local of over forty members, but
the political trickster, the machine
ring, the warehouse bale-picker,
agents of the big cotton spectators,
and many other evils, crept in, so the
result is our local is dead / hope
every reader of The Jeffersonian will
lend hand in fighting that treach-
erous Central Bank scheme; it's no
trouble to get signers to petitions,
but if we sit idly by, old Aldrich and
his henchmen will get in their dirty
work to our sorrow.
You had better wake up, brothers,
and look after your business before
it's too late.
Yours truly,
L. KING.

marks.
Very truly,

but they are racy. [ have clipped his
articles on the subject. Get the paper
if you do not now take it. Tom says
he is going to howl until some investi-
cation is made, and I see some locals
are falling into line. If he knew of
some of the things we know of he
would raise the devil, | guess. A GER
tain amount of 'raisin' hell" enough
to cause some reformation is advis-
able, but if everything could be laid
bare I am afraid the rank and file
would gag and the organization would
go to the wall / believe in saving an
organization, if possible, even if we
have to put up with some graft and
lots of "damphoolishness. A new
organization could not be gotten to-
gether in our day and generation Of
usefulness. The Union is doing some
good. That all it does is good | am
not prepared to admit. [ will not
even express myself on the ratio Of
the good to the evil, but content my
self with insisting that it is doing
some good. | want our people to con-
tinue to receive the good, and trust
that the organization can some time
be rescued and put on higher plane.
The task will be to keep inside the
fellows who "get wise" until there are
enough of them to influence things.
Getting disguised and quitting is
only playing into the hands of any
grafters who may exist. ''The mills
of the gods grind slowly" you know,
and patience is one of the Christian
virtues.

to the columns of the Union News
But that did not down me. After
waiting patiently for long while,
and not seeing my communication in
the Union News, mailed it to the
Courier-Dispatch, of Dublin, Ca, and
Hal. Stanley gave it a prominent
place. There is nothing in the
above, except to show that Mr. Duck
worth is not willing to tote fair, and
has an inclination to stoop, if neces-
sary to carry his points. And, again,
our quarterly dues were raised forty
per cent. at a State meeting this fall
I am not grumbling at the raise, but
the way it was done 1t was put be-
fore the locals to be voted on, with the
proviso that all members who were
absent when the vote was taken
would be counted as voting for the
raise. All of our locals that were
present voted almost unanimously
against the raise. And I guess many
locals in the State voted likewise.
And yet we learned from Union City
that the measure was overwhelming
ly carried. I do not believe there is
an honest man in Georgia who will
agree that it was fair to count any
man for it who did not vote I am
highly in favor of the Farmers I'm
ion. But I am unalterably opposed
to leaders who won't tote fair. Now,
a man who joins the Union to line
his pockets, and for nothing else,
needs to be watched. I look upon
the Union News as our paper, kept
alive by Union subscribers, and I
never will concede the right to Mr.
DuckWorth, or any other editor, to
suppress, or garble, worthy contri-
button, solely because the writer diff
fers with the editor
I also saw a man in Adrian, not
many days since, who feels himself
under lasting obligations to you for
your letters through the Jefferson
ians on Foreign Missions Said man
is cripple, and is not physically
able to support a family. Some of
the cripple's near relatives have
plenty of means, and have been lib
eral contributors to Foreign Mis-
sions. They have also been reading
the Jeffs, which has caused them
to open their eyes and turn their
gifts on their poor, needy, worthy
relative at home, instead of squan-
dering it among the Chinese and mig
gers. They did not only give him
freely of their substance, but they
told him what caused them to do it,
