is THIS OF ANY BENEFIT TO A
POOR FARMER?

Dear Sir:-I am enclosing here
with circular letter from the Car
mical Manufacturing Co. for your
perusal, and for the general informa
ton contained therein.
1t would seem from the reading of
the letter, and noting the difference
in prices offered the stockholders, and
the member of the Union who is too
poor to take stock, that about all the
poor man gets out of it is the privi-
lege of paying dues.
The enclosed letter is dated Janu-
airy 26th, but it was not sent to me,
and fell inc my hands only a few
days ago.
Wishing you a long and happy life

A NEW LAW NEEDED FOR TAX
ON COTTON.

Dear Sir:-After being a reader of
your paper for some time, feel at
liberty to write a few lines to the
members of the Farmers Union
everywhere to show their strength.
There are five or six cotton compa-
MES Gas they call themselves) that
say they will knock out one dollar
for every bale of cotton that has
more than six yards yards of bagging
on it, If this is not trying to boss
the farmer, what do you call it?
Every Local is hereby begged to take
it up at once; one man cannot do
much, but an army of men can do
great deal, so let us all come at once
and together
e. L. KIRKLAND.
Hartford, Ala.
Answer.
Georgia should have law like
South Carolina regulating the tax on
cotton.
The Farmers Union leaders should
see to it that such a law is passed at
the coming session of the Legisla-
ture. T. E. w.

and we further wish to know if he
ever used any of the money of the
Farmers Union, and, if so, how
much? And have you paid it-and
has he gained by the Farmers Union
Brotherhood, and. if so, how much
and in what way? And now, Brother
Lee, will you state some things that
might relieve some Of us? First, as
to what you were worth at the time
you first joined the Union at Union
city, and what are you worth now,
and what kind of labor have you fol-
lowed? And please tell us how Bow
den Homer got into the lodge, and
what is, or was, his occupation? Did
you ever vouch for Ladson, the law
yer, to go into Union lodge? Had
you not learned that he had wrecked
a bank? Did you not go to T. E.
Watson more than once to counsel
on the Union principles? Did you not
believe that Watson was true to the
principles of the Union? Did you not
tell him that you would call again
and consult when the occasion re-
quired it? Then did you not go to
exposing him, without giving him a
chance to defend himself? Can you
tell where he ever has played against
the interest OF the Farmers Union?
Who owns the manufacturing imple-
ment plant at Union City? Is it not
Carmichael? Why did CarmichaI use
your envelopes?
If there are any more of the Off
GERS at Union City that will make any
statements for the benefit of the
cause Of the Union, let them do so
that it may be published for the bene-
fit or satisfaction of the Union mem
bers. If they will all freely show
their hand for the benefit of the
cause it may do good before the g.
20-21st Of July Convention. Then,
please have this letter published in
the first issue of the Union News
and if you do not, I will have The
JeffersOnian to publish it, as I am
keeping a copy Of it. [ believe if you
answer my questions properly, it will
be satisfaction to thousands of Union
people, or brethren. You are we'll
aware of a great confusion over some
things for the last six months. And
bad weather has prevented the peO-
pie from coming together, often
times, during the past winter. I will
cut off, hoping that my letter may be

hope that all things may be adjusted

crop alone, the buyer doing the
harvesting. Alfalfa hay is quoted
at good prices in all markets where
it can be had. The value of a
cash crop which does not exhaust
the soil and which involves a min
imum of labor is hard to estimate.
When that is realized there will be
wonderful increase in the area
grown near good hay markets. Many
farmers need just such a crop, and
many will be better with more al
falfa and less timothy or grain to
sell. Yet we continually run across
farmers who say that alfalfa can
not be grown in their section; in
fact, that seems to be the prevail
ing idea in too many places. To all
who think this way about II We sug-
gest further trials. Alfalfa is worth
working for, and there is no reason
to believe that most farmers who
keep on trying wilt not succeed in
the end.

KIN, he says that unless there is
an immediate change in the wealth

be done crops of all kinds through
out this state. The outlook for the
farmer is not as bright this year
as it usually is at this season Of
the year, The weather has not
been seasonable. There will be a
big falling off. and in his next
crop report he will say that for the
first time in the history of the de-
parunent there was a report of Jack
Frost in June. Frost is reported in
several counties in this state this
month, something heretofore I'M
heard Of. The report follows:
Weathers conditions during the
month of May have shown but little
Improvement over those of April
Unusual cold has prevailed with
rain, which has kept all vegetation
and crops in backward state. and
plenty of warm sunshine is the
thing that is desired by farmers
and gardeners. Cut-worms are
prevalent. Those who got their
blowing done during the splendid
March weather are the fortunate
ones, and many have not been able
to get their ground in proper con-

Dry Picked and sealded.

Some markets insist on dry pickle |
fowls, while others will have no
other kind than those that have
been scalded; though why, IL seems
hards to say after a comparison Of
the two kinds. .--.
Dry picked fowls are firm and will
keep much longer than ii the car
eass be soaked with hot water and
the skin perhaps torn in several
places.
An expert picker win take the
feathers off a fowl even before II
is through fluttering So easily do
they come off that only a sweep of
the hand is needed. Indeed, fair
ly successful way has been invented
in the form of an electric current.
Cold storage packers find il almost
impossible to preserve scalded fowls
for any length of time, and scald-
ed fowls for such purposes are new
er In demand.
Fowls should never be eaten UNI
til thoroughly cooled and all the
animal heat taken out; therefore
for home use. except and, II posi-
BILE, the fowls should hang In a
cool place for at least twenty-four
hours.

Notes.

Early Matched chicks are the
most thrifty, and, though they re-
quire more attention than the later
nest, they pay best in the end.
II the chicks run at large, have
temporary shelters at convenient
places, so that sudden transforms
will not drown them.
Anybody can go in the poultry
business. but only the workers I'll
stay in 1t. If man thinks that
he will have no work to do, he
had better not begin.
Exercise is the best tonic for the
fowls, and those that scratch and
hustle are the healthIest and iHe
most profitable.
Five bushels of grain. it is said
viii feed a hen a year. But there
is no ironclad rule. as some floCks
will eat more than others. The
good layers will always he large
feeders.

Washington, Aug. FL round
guilty of leaving his post OF duty De-
fore being relieved, and OF sleeping
on watch, Lieutenant Grafton "A.
Bean, U. S. N, was reduced thirty
one numbers and publicly reprimand-
ed.
On July 5 Beall was officer of the
watch on the battleship Delaware. 1t
was alleged that he left the deck and
was later found asleep below. A court
martial found him guilty, but recon-
mended clemency. Acting Secretary
Winthrop of the navy department ap-
proved the sentence, but declined 10
grant clemency. The effect OF the
sentence is to place Beall at the 1901
of the list of junior lieutenants.
1t is understood the reason for WIN
throp's refusal to grant clemency was
that an enlisted man, found guilty OF
going to sleep while on~watch, must
be dishonorably discharged and sen
fenced to Imprisonment for one veal

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Barton People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney
Disease,

The symptoms of kidney disease are
SO unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex'
crete thick, cloudy and offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular OF
passage or attended by sensation OF
scalding. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may occur
and the victim is often weighed down
by feeling of languor and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there is
danger of dropsy, Bright's disease or
diabetes. Any one of these symptoms
is warning enough to begin treating
the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal. You can use no better
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's Barton proof:
Mrs. O. D. Rowell, High st., Barton:
VT, says: 81 have used DOan's Kid
