Taking Hand in Losing Game.
That is the very thing most all men
do who undertake to raise cotton to
buy everything he needs with his cot
ton money. Now if every man, of the
karge majority of growers of cotton
ere good business men and belonged
"a good business organization with
[aeient intelligence and capital to
let the interest Of cotton grow
pen the prospects Of this special
Build be better. But the situation,
= at the larger per cent of cotton
~ Poduced by negroes and enslaVed
ge people, who are subjected to all
nner of schemes and shreWd trans
Itions of the we'll trained and organ
Wed cotton handling and cotton trad
ing element, who by concert of action
ecan control the price of this stress cot
ton until it is all out Of the hands OF
the producer, at prices to suit the
traders and consumers of cotton ir-
respective Of profits or cost of produc-
ton to the grower of the staple. This
stress cotton, which composes at
times the larger part of the crop
worth billions-you may say ia at the
beginning of the season, at least, abb
solutely in the hands of the ignorant
class of producers and cotton bears.
And all that class of>cotton growers
who don't grow food crops are forced
to take prices made by the reckless
element in order to fill hungry bellies.
The Independent Farmer.
How beautiful the thought, how
pleasant the anticipation, how glow
ing are the hospitable invitations Of
this glorious Southland of ours to
come and be an independent farmer.
What commentary upon the intelli-
gence, what a reflection upon our gen.
eral character to i've ina land Glow
ing with milk and honey and then
buying the milk and the honey too.
Our state and national farm demon
stration men have proven by reputable
witness that corn has been grown at
a cost of from Is to IS cents per BUSH
ell and we buy millions of bushels at
Is cents to $1.00 Per bushel.
:. Our farm demonstration workers.
and individuals, too-have proven that
we can produce pork at cost Of to
s cents per pound, and millions Of dol
lars are spent every year for pork at
y 1-2 cents to 20 cents per pound, and
there is scarcely any article of food
crops that we buy but what can be
grown at home with equal profit.
Why this deplorable state of affairs
among our "all-cotton farmers?' At
first thought one would naturally con-
clude that our experimenters are the
biggest set of liars On earth or our
"all-cotton farmers" are the biggest
set of fools on earth-oue or the other.
But neither of these conclusions are
correct solutions of the problem. The
plain facts are that many all-cotton
farmers are aware of these truths, but
they are so firmly chained down to a
system and habit of growing cotton
crops on credit, that they have not the
manhood or knowledge how to break
the prison chains of the credit and cot
ton king and be free men by growing
their own supplies at home.

Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union is the name of our only
Statewide farmers organization, and
the educational feature comes first in
our efforts, for the reason that if we
can teach our "all-cotton farmers
how to break loose these prison chains
Of growing stress Or credit cotton by
proper rotation of crops, that the VIC
tory for profitable prices for cotton
and the Independent farmer has been
won.
Now is your time to make a break
for freedom by planning to grow a
supply of every food crop that your
land will produce. Join the Farmers
union and feel good. Our Farmers
union men have learned that we can
not grow an over-supply OF cotton and
bulIdoze the world into taking the
crop off our hands at our price wheth-
er the consumer needs it or not. We
should not "cuss out" the New York
cotton exchange for something we did
ourselves; or vilify the merchants for
making big profits On food stuff that
We can grow at home and keep this
big profit at home for our own benefit.

Show window Advertising.

HDid it ever strike you, a retainer
asked recently, "that after all WIN
dow trim is in the last sense an adver-
tisement. and just as you would use
advertising space to get custom SO
should you handle your window trims
with the same object?' says the South
ern Merchant.
.sTake. for example, the present time.
What would you advertise in the papers
to push your sales7 Prices. Style is
settled. pretty nearly everybody knows
the kind of goods that they want to
buy, if they contemplate buying any
thing, and the only thing they are IN
terested in is prices, and since many
people do not contemplate buying at
all, it is only prices that induce them
to become customers.
eff this is true of the advertisement
it is also true of the show window, and
the trim that is most effective at this
time is a trim in which price cards
along with the goods shown are the i'm
portant feature Now, suppose II is
the opening of season, say next Sep
TENDER for example. Then the thing
that you would talk about in the papers
would be your styles for fall, and by
the same token it would be tasteful ar
rangements of fall models that would
be most effective and attract most at
tention in the show window.
"And so it would be possible, If
necessary, to go more into detail with
these things. 1t will be found every
time that what constitutes the most eff
fective advertisement constitutes also
the most effective window trim and is
most calculated to bring customers into
the store.'

Meanest Traders in the World.

There is a colony of merchants in
Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, who
can give cards and spades even to the
bland Chinaman, "for ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain" They
take one match out of every box they
sell until they have enough matches to
fill another box and so make an extra
cent. They shave tiny flakes off cakes
of soap and boil them down to make
other cakes. They put thin layer of
molasses on the bottom of the scoop
with which they serve rice so that a
few grains will stick to the bottom.
These are only few of their thousand
tricks to turn a dishonest penny. With
out doubt they are the meanest traders
in the world.

The Habit of Drifting.

Drifting" says a writer in one of
the magazines, isis the Father and
Mother of all bad habits, all crime, all
wasted, useless, unhappy and dissatis-
fed lives" This may be putting it
pretty strong, but it will be universally
admitted that there is much of truth
in this statement. The boy or girl, man
or woman who has nothing to do but
to drift into bad company, and bad com
pany is responsible for the commission
of many crimes.
The man who drifts never gets any
place. A fixed purpose and a strong
will are necessary to every accomplish
ment. Those who have strong ambi-
ton to take position of responsibility
and honor among men never realize it
by drifting. One never drifts into a
good position. One may imagine that
he is drifting toward something worth
while, but he is sure, sooner or later.
just before his goal has been reached
that the driftwood got between him
and the place he sought and he was
carried down the current of the stream.
The fellow who accomplishes things
never drifts. He is constantly seek
ing to do his full share of the world IS
work. The drifter may never contract
any of the baser habits, as is indi-
Gated by the quotation above, but he
never does anything else worth while.
He is simply cumberer of the ground
and is always in the way. He is a con,
sumner of the world IS products without
producing anything of value. And

lamps whirling in giddy circles.
Il feel to say that the Lord is pre-
cious to my soul tonight. Pray for
me, that 1 may ever be found faith
full"
He struggling through the words Of
the familiar form gaspingly and sat
down. A burst of triumphant song
arose:
20 happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Saviour and my Cod"
and the ecstatic aftermath came. Tru-
ly it was better to be doorkeeper in
the house of God than to dwell in the
tents of wickedness. What bliss was
there to be compared with this heart
melting soul-lifting blessing for duty
done?
1t went with him a good part of the
way home, and Martha Gordon respect
ed his silence, knowing we'll what
heights and depths were engulfing the
young spirit.
But afterward-alas and alas; that
there should always be an after
ward! When Tom had kissed his
mother goodnight and was alone in
his upper room, the reaction set in.
What had he done? Were the words
the outpouring of a full heart? Did
they really mean anything to him, or
to those who heard them? He grasped
despairingly at the fast-fading glories
OF the vision, dropping on his knees at
the bedside. 20 God, let me see Thee
and touch Thee, and be sure, sure!"
he prayed, over and over again; and
so finally sleep found him still on his
knees with his face buried in the bed
clothes.

Little WilIie's Excuse.

A Kindergarten teacher tells a
good joke on herself. She had been
very strict in requiring written ex-
cuses from the mothers in case of
absence.
The morning of the big snowstorm
only a few of the babies made their
appearance. The next day they all
came with written excuses except one
little fellow named Willie.
When asked for his he said: Il did
ferdit it,"
He was cautioned to bring ii the
mex day.
Whites mother was quite disgust
ed. 1t seemed [ o her that any one
with the slightest pretensions TO gray
matter ought TO know the reason for
his absence.
The next morning he arrived all
rosy with the cold and handed the
teacher his excuse. 1t read:

Once an American divine spent

Christmas morning he gave the maid
a tip of a sovereign, and he said
looking earnestly at her-for she
was a pretty maid:
DO you know. Kathleen, you are
a very good-looking lassie?'
OF course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest. she blushed like
a rose and answered.
"'Ah, ma, All. ma. But my kissin'

Effect of whiteaeld's Preaching.

Whitefield, whose dramatic APP
peals to his listeners were always a
noteworthy part of his sermons. The
Sun says, one preached TO a body OF
seamen in New York. In the course
of his sermon he introduced the fol-
lowing words:
We'll, my boys. we have a clear
sky, and are making fine Roadway
over a soomth sea, BEFORE a light
breeze. and we shall soon lose sight
OF land; but what means this sudden
lowering of the heavens and that
dark cloud rising from the western
horizon? Don't you see those fash
ings of lightning? There is a storm
gathering, Every man to his duty.
How the waves rise and dash against
the ship, The air is dark, The tenn
pest RACES! Our masts are gonei
The ship is on her beam ends. What
next?"
The hands of every sailor were
gripping the pews in front of them
and a wild excitement was in their
eyes. And when the preacher reach
ed the climax of his dramatic speech
they sprang to their feet in a body
and shouted, Take the long boat"

Turn About.

At Cumberland, Md, says the
Housekeeping Magazine, the negro
servants as a rule go to their own
homes at night. The cook in the
family of the E~piscopalian clergyman
not only does this, but of late has
arrived at the rectory too late to
cook breakfast.
Hence her mistress lately told her
that for each breakfast missed there
would be a reduction in her weekly
wages. Dinah passiyely assented TO
this, but next day the mistress heard
the maid next door say to her:
Pears to me you got to work

was the reply.
