Brethren:-Your resolutions re-
ceived, and replying will say that I
hardly know what to do with the
resolutions. In my opinion the Ma
tional Farmers Union should rem
der Mrs. Gresham and children some
assistance. Her husband founded the
Farmers Union and killed himself
working for it, and did not leave
enough for her to live on and edu-
cate the children. Certainly the
Farmers Union has been worth
enough to the American farmers to
entitle the widow and orphans of the
man whose brain gave the organiza-
ton birth to a living, if not an album
dance. On a thousand dollars year
Mrs Gresham can live and partially
educate her children. Don't you
think it would be just for the Nation
al Farmers Union to help? I know
the man so we'll myself, and know
how he labored for the farmer, that.
there is a tender chord of feeling in
my breast for the family. have
helped them considerably personally
myself.
Yours Respectfully,
r. F. DUCKWORTH, Editor
Union City, Ca, Feb. %, 1910.
Hon. R. F. Duckworth, Editor Union
News.
Replying to yours of February
28th in regard to resolution from
Gwinnett County Union urging a re-
peal of the plan of paying Mrs.
Gresham an annual pension, [ will
say that the Gwinnett County Union
did not send said resolution to you
to get your views on same, but recOg-
nizing the Farmers Union News as
the forum through which we could
express our views to the Brother
hood throughout the country, we
ask it's publication. Now, to an
swer you specifically. You say, II
hardly know What to do with the
resolutions i" You can publish them
or not, as you please. If you refuse
to do so, there are other papers that
are read by Union men quite as ex-
tensively as yours and they will pub
lish it for us, as we do not propose
to be gagged because we have views
contrary to yours. You say, 'In my
opinion the National Farmers Union
should render Mrs. Gresham and
children some assistance" I reply
that the National Farmers Union
has already rendered all assistance
it can in justice to it's members rem
der. You say, 'Her husband found
ed the, Farmers Union and killed
himself working for it." Yes, he
founded the Union, and has been
abundantly honored for what he did;
besides, he was not the only man
thinking and working along that line,
and if the Farmers Union had been
dependent alone on the efforts of Mr..

Gresham it would not have attained
to the magnificent proportions it has.
AS to his killing himself working for
it, don't know about that, but if he
did I hardly think the National Union
can be held responsible. You ask,
Don't you think it would be just for
the National Farmers Union to
help?" / answer, the National
Farmers Union has already done all
for Mrs. Gresham that wisdom and
justice will allow AS to your per-
sonal feeling to the family, that is a
matter that has no place in this ques-
ton of the National Union continuing
to pay Mrs. Gresham an annual pen
sion of one thousand dollars, or any
other sum- Now, my dear sir it is
up to you to publish our resolution
or not, as you see proper
Very truly yours,

Sec. Gwinnett Co. Farmers Union.
Buford, Ca, March 4, 1910.
Mr.. J. w. McElvany, Buford, Ga.
Dear Bro. McElvany: Your letter
received, and in answering your let
ter you say that there are plenty of
papers that will publish your resOlu-
tions. Yes, there are plenty of pa
pers that will publish any kind of
resolution passed by any kind of
Farmers Union meeting. regardless
of whether it will injure the Farmers
Union or not. I took an obligation,
as editor of the paper, to not publish
anything that would reflect upon the
organization. Of course, I have to
use my judgment as what would re-
fleet upon the organization. being
only a human being I might be
wrong. However, I have to do the
best I can.
You see do not know much about
the Farmers Union, | have only
worked for it seven years, have held
every office in it's gift, from Local
President to National President, still
[ think that there are many things
for me to learn concerning the well
fare of this great organization, [ do
not think any man can ever learn
all about it.
You said you didn't know whether
Bro. Gresham killed himself work
ing for the Union, or not. Well, [
knew you didn't know, that is the
reason I told you. For six months
I went with him in the field a good
part of that time he and [ was the
only two men in the whole United
States organizing for the Farmers
Union. You intimate that I should
publish the resolutions, regardless of
what l may think concerning them,
but this is not the opinion of the
State Farmers Union. In it's con-
vention it has expressed itself that
I be very careful about publishing
any resolutions from local or county
unions, that would in any injurious
ly affect the organization, or that in
nay judgement would not be best for
it. If the State Convention should
decide that it was best for the Farm
ers' Union News to publish all reso-
lutions that is sent to it, regardless
of what affect they might have on
the organization, then in that event,
all resolutions sent to us VIII be pub
llshed, I have always and will always
abide by the decisions of our organi-
zation, State and National, [ think
it is right.

of our state will be chosen. Mud
batteries have been largely in ev-
idence, and if there should be
truth in the ordinations and re-
examinations it will make little
difference who may be elected,
the successful party will be loaded
with bad men to execute the laws.
But are the charges made by the
one against the other true? If
they are, then neither ought to
be elected. But one or the other
will be elected. Governor Har-
mon has been tried and found
wanting in executing his prom
ises to the people, made at his
former election and again prom
ised in his second appeal to the

New Orleans has no bidders for
her $7,OO0C0O Of sewerage ronds and
water bCnGs and it looks rs though
her greatest project for municipal i'm
prCvement would be held Up indefi,
nitely through lack Of funds to pros
eCute the work. 1t would seem as
though New Orleans was hardly in
position to finance WOTl1's expo
s!tion, even WIZ the aid OF !he state
Of Louisiana, when her lCcal bankers
refuse to purchase her Londs on
their CWn terms.

Francisco's rival for exposition hon

patch from the Crescent City:
New Orleans. La.--Oct A.-De,
spite several months of negotiation
through the Ribcrnia Bank and Trust
company, and in sTite CT special
act of the last legislature to facili-
tate the financial negotiations, when
the city board Cf liquidation met at
noon today there was no bid for the
$70G0,000 improvement bonds by
which the great sewerage and water
project Of this city was to have
been been completed
Much disappointment is felt at
the failure of the bonds to sell, as
this great municipal project may be
seriously delayed. Mayor Eehrman
and City Attorney l. D. Moore both
issued statements tonight explaining
the reasons.
About year ago, the Interstate
Bank and Trust company agreed to
finance the S7OOOOOO bond issue pro-
vided it was given the benefit of be-
ing the depository of the funds col
lected at per cent interest, The
contention was raised that lie bond
taker could not be the depository.
Then a legislative enactment was Sc
cured to make it legal for the buyer
to become the fiscal agent OF the
funds but still the bonds are unsold."

Prosecuting Attorney.
A BIT OF HISTORY.

Two years ago Judson Harmon re-
ceived 552,569 votes, while Andrew
Harris was given 533, 1877 votes, diff
ference of only 1892 in almost
eleven hundred thousand ballots.
Harmon was not found out then.
Now the voters know him as a mar
row, partisan politician. They know
him as a candidate for president who
is resorting to the methods of the
gutter politician to accomplish his
personal ambitions.
Now the voters know him as a
free trader
They know him as a demagogue-
because no sincere man would charge
graft and then carry Creamer. Zuber,
Finley and Deweeee into campaign
as models of propriety and honesty.
Now that Harmon has been found
out he will be reelected to the prac-
tice of his profession against
the interests of the people in the in
terests of the corporations.

of the season Visited us, and II
was by no means a tame affair
for the time of year. The tenn
perature accompanying it was
quite chilling. 1t was a squaw
winter with a large S. On Sat-
urday it showed more, furnish
ling us quite a wintry aspect. 1t
is probable that some of our peo-
Iple became hysterical in the be-
lief that winter had come to stay,
and if so that lots of farm, as
we'll as other work, would have
to be done in wintry weather.
Well, | think we may solace our
fears as to such calamity for un-
doubtedly we will yet have plen-
ty of good weather between this
and the holidays, and ample time
afforded us to do our fall work
before real winter sets in.
On last Wednesday we had the
first number of our lecture course
by the Schuberts in our school
auditorium. This being the first
meeting held in it and serving as
a dedication of the building. A
large audience greeted them, and
the performance was considered
good for the kind. 1t was gen.
orally enjoyed.

were held in our M. E. church
yesterday and today. Rev. C.

sided and preached a most ex-
cellent sermon on the subject,
"Can any good thing come out
of Nazareth"
j. Bowman, living south from
here about II miles, had a small
fire yesterday. The roof of his
dwelling house caught fire in
some unaccountable way, but,
fortunately, was discovered be-
fore much headway was made,
and put out. 1t was we'll the
discovery was made timely. The
damage was small and covered
with insurance.
Mrs. Jacob Bowman returned
home this evening from Cincin-
natl, whence she had gone with
her son Carl, who went to have
an operation performed for ap-
pendicitis. Mr.. Bowman, it is
said, sustained the operation
quite we'll and is recovering nice
ly from the effects.
Halloween was celebrated here
last Saturday night with an ex-
hibition of masquerading, etc.,
by the young and old. Isuppose
all got fill of whatever of good
there may be in it, if any. How
many, it is wondered, of the per-
formers would be able to tell us
the significance of the day, if
asked? The origin of the feast
and the celebration of it may be
all we'll enough, but great per-
version of the day has taken
place since it's founding. Instead
of carrying it out as originally
instituted it has lapsed into van
dalism and is made the occasion
for the vicious to exercise their
wicked propensity upon the law
abiding and inoffensive.
