WHEN PROFANITY WAS COMMON
Two Good Stories Concerning Weak
 ness of Past Generation.

Dean Ramsay could not countenance profanity, but he managed to tell some good stories of weakness which af. tlicted many in his time:
 "A late duke of Athol mad invited a well-known character, writer of Perth, to come up and meet him at Dunkeld for the transaction of some business. The duke mentioned the day and hour when he should receive the man of law, who accordingly came punctually at the appointed time and place But the duke had forgotten the appointment and had gone to the hill, from which he could not return for some hours. A Highlander pres ent described the Perth writer's in d1gnation and his mode of showing il by a most elaborate course of swear ing. But whom did he swear at? was the inquiry made of the narrator, who replied: Oh, he didna sweer at ony thing particular, but juist stude in ta middle of ta road and swoor at lairge. l have from a friend also an anecdOte which shows how entirely at one period the practice of swearing had become familiar even 10 female ears when mixed up with the inter- course of social life. A sister had been speaking of her brother as much addicted to this habit-'Oor John sweers awful, and we try to correct him; but she added in a candid and apOlOgetic tone. ma doubt 1t is a great set af to conversation

For pains on the chest a mustard rlaster frequently gives relief. Too much flour should not be added. From fifteen minutes to half an hour Is the usual time for retaining the plaster, but this must be regulated by the in tensity of the heat.

promising to in future maintain his

Some Men are Prone to Lie

The Farmers Union of the State of Geor-
gia will hold Convention next month. Here
tofore, these assemblages have been gathered
together III Macon, or Atlanta. This time,
the whole thing is to be poured into the little
jug at Union City. That is to say, If the lit
tie 5uggzers at Union City hare their aoay
about 1t. The little juggIers at Union City
are desperately determined upon pouring
everything into their little jug; and unless
the members of the Union are wide awake,
the purpose will be accomplished.
The farmers went ahead, with their own
money-or such as they could borrow from
their loyal friends-and built substantial
warehouses throughout the State There was
no reason under the sun why the Local Man
ayers of these warehouses could not have
formed an association similar to those main
tanned by the bankers manufacturers, etc.
There was no reason why concert of action
could not have been had, By this kind Of on
association, just as it is had among the bank
ers and the manufacturers. There a0as no
reason in the qcorzd for depr50ing each County
of the ownership Of its warehouse. 1t might

pany which was doing WE'LL was out of debt:
had money in It's treasury. Duckworth Sc
cured the Presidency Of this Company, speak
ing in glowing terms of the value which he
would be to it. Duck was sure that as soon
as his name went to the top of this Company
that the members of the Farmers Union
would all insure their lives in it! Duck be-
gan to pull the Company for salary and for
advertising. He took about 81 ZOO for year
or SO of salary and more than $500 for adj
vertising in his paper The salary was not
earned the advertising was of no benefit to
the Company. The net result was badly
damaged Company. | think it is now in
course of liquidation. 1t never did get 0ver
its experience of being poured into the jug at
Union City.
Duck is fond of calling the corporations
out there "Our cooperative enterprises at
Union City," They are not cooperative en-
terprises. The Implement Company is joint
stock corporation, just like a railroad, or
bank, or a manufacturing establishment. The
majority stockholders could freeze out the
minority stock holders; can give themselves
what salaries they want, and can manage the
concern as they please. The cooperative
feature is not there at all. Take that 1mple-
ment Company, for instance,-does it cooper
ate with the members of the Farmers Union?
bers of the Farmers Union of Georgia who
are too poor, or who are unwilling, to put
their money in the Union City corporations
are not gi0en the benefit Of the inside prices.
They must take stock, or they must buy just
as outsiders do Where is the cooperation in
that? Where's the brotherly desire to aid a
fellow member? Where is the fraternal fea-
ture in thing like that? It is altogether
absent
There are certain charges which have been
made by responsible parties, publicly and re-
peatedly, against these head officials and head
bosses of the Georgia Union.
1t can be proven by Court records that
President John Lee wrote deliberate false
hoods, deceiving his brother Unionists as to
the facts of the Neal Bank failure, and Lad
sons responsibility therefor. People soon
forget, and, therefore, it may be worth while
for me to, briefly, restate that case.
The Neal Bank was fourishing institu-
ton, in which the people had so much conf
dence that 5000 of them deposited money in
the bank. Not only that. the State of Geor-
Ola had selected it as one Of the repositories
of our public funds. G.. T. Ladson. smooth,
scheming lawyer comes along and proposes
to the head officers of this Bank Thornton
and Nanny, that he can make pile of money
for them and himself if they will embark
with him in Cuban land speculation. They
formed copartnership, under the firm name
of G. T. Ladson & Company, and these Off
GERS of the Bank not only lent to Ladson, in
dlvldually, a greater sum OF money than the
law allows, but they lent to themselves and to
Ladson, under the name of G.. T. Ladson &
Company, twice as much as they had let Lad
son have. The amount in all was $150,00O.
They take this money out of the jurisdiction
of the Courts of Georgia and invest it in
