ACOMMENDABLE ACTION.

The executive committee of the
Mississippi division of the
Farmers Union strikes a hard
blow at the candidates for Office,
in the adoption OF the following
resolution:
1T is ordered that the Union
Advocate accept no announce
ments Of candidates for office, nor
receive any fees whatsoever from
any candidate for the publication
Of any political document"
This is sad tidings for the
pseudo farmers who are running
for office, and trying to use the
Farmers Union as a vehicle to
gain their selfish ends.
A majority Of these men know
absolutely nothing whatsoever
about farming, have acquired
membership on flimsy pretexts,
and with no other purpose save
in pursuance of vain hope that il
might boost their political fortunes
The Farmers Union is, and
should be, a non political organ
ization lit ever becomes any
thing else its days OF usefulness
will be brought to an end.

WITH THE BASkfRs.

The Bankers Convention did US
all good.
Greenwood is hot after public
ity, and after the right kind.
The Bankers were the right
dope to get this publicity, and
you can say that they will boost
this best city.
The Convention was as enjoy
able as was ever held in the city,
and as usual, every citizen took
il as a delight to cooperate with
the Bankers and the Business
League to make il delightful as
well as successful.
Down the streets nothing was
in form but coed feeling and a
united endeavor to highly enter
tain our guests, and to rebound
some good TO the Queen City of
the Delta.
Business was set aside for a
couple Of days, and everything
was pretty, no one enjoyed it a
whit more than the other. 1t
was a continual run to do some
favor to the delegates and thor
oughly impress upon the Bankers
what a garden spot this is, what
good people we have, and the
wonderful resources Of this
county, the development Of which
has as yet had only a meager
start.
Yes, it was splendid, end should
inspire us to join in with the
Business League to submit a bid,
to push the bid, and to have at
least two or three conventions a
year. 1t does our community
good to have our fellow citizens from
all over the state TO visit us, to don
our gala attire and form to exchange
good feeling and emphasize that
all this life is not the montonous
grind Of application, but to get out
for a few days, enjoy the minglirg
with good fellowship, and in the
end better the town and community
in which we live, and to lbetter our
selves.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The weather during the past
week has shown a considerable
Improvement all over the cotton
belt While there has been some
rain the showers have been
scattered and generally light
Temperatures have been rather
lower than normal, but ii is doubt
full il the cold has been severe
enough anywhere to do much, il
any, damage. While the frequent
rains that occurred prior to May ]
no doubt did some damage, there
has been no extensive replanting
necessary and there is every
reason to belive that il the pres
ent fine weather continues farmers
will soon have their fields free OF
grass, andt the balance OF the acres
TO be devoted to cotton planted.
There IL no doubt that the crop
is well advanced in Texas and in
parts Of Louisiana, Alabama and
Georgia. II is reported to be
backward in Mississippi and in
the Carolinas, but on the
whole the situation is a vast
Improvement over last year, and
considering the increased acreage
devoted to cotton and the little
actual loss that has resulted from
the weather, the prospect for a
large crop is good. 1t is worth
nothing that the increase in
acreage is mostly in districts not
extensively affected by the boil
weevil pest.
The corn crop is making
excellent progress and has not
been hurt to any extent by the
weather. There is now every
promise Of a good yield. Pretty
much the same may be said OF
other grain crops in the South.
Rice is making good progress, the
rains having been more beneficial
than otherwise, The high water
in the rivers has further helped
the farmers and planters in the
in the river districts.
