ORGANIZER OF THE FARMERS
Tremendous Influence Welded Over
More Than 100000 Farmers by
President Charles Barrett.

A tremendous influence Is welded
over more than 100000 farmers from
coast to coast by Charles s. Barrett.
president Of the National Farmers
union.
Mr.. Barrett Is Georgian by birth. 3
farmer by instinct. choice and incljna.
ton. and good one at that. Long ago
he saw that the farmers about him
were not progressing very fast along
any line-except plastering mortgages
on their crops and mules. He saw
that there was lack OF system and
management on the farm; that the
farmer wasn't getting the fruits OF his
toll; that he was sullen. discouraged.
without ambition or hope.
He knew these conditions existed
among his own people, and he be.
lieved they existed elsewhere all over
the land. He began by organizing the
farmers In the middle Georgian coun.
~ where he lived. They held meet.
lnss. talked planned and executed i'm.
proved methods In their own work.
Unfortunate brothers we're helped over
rough places. In few years that com.
munity became model for highly cul.
tiyated farms. contented and prosper.
GUS people. and a moral and educa.
tional forward movement OF great pro.
portions was started.
The Farmers union movement be.
gan In Texas. and Georgia was one
OF the first states to take It up. A
spirit OF unrest and vague longing was
abroad. and men dreamed Of great
things through this new organization.
Young Barrett at once saw the posi-.
bility OF organization among the farm.
ers He began as state organizer
and he planted locals In nearly every
county In Georgia.
Then they elected his president OF
the state organization. The mans
force. his burning zeal to help his
people and his rare capacity for lead.
ership developed amazingly. He made
the Georgia union the most powerful
In numbers and influence in the or.
ganization. He developed a business
department that saved the farmers
thousands OF dollars on fertilizers and
supplies. When manufacturers tried
to checkmate him. he raised money
among the farmers and built fac.
tories.
After two years as the Georgia pres.
ident. the national organization need.
ed strong. dominant figure to lead.
because factions were threatening to
disrupt the union. They turned al.
most unanimously to Charles Barrett
When he took hold. the union had less
than 100000 members with weak or.
ganizations In most of the dozen
states In which II had secured foot.
hold. He began smashing things right
and left with true vigor. He turned out
every man who had an Ak to grind
Politicians were literally booted from
the organization.
Enemies predicted disaster. Even
his cabinet officers advised more di.
plomacy. But he drove steadily on.
Time and the union itself have vind!
Gated his course. After four years as
head OF the union II now has more
than 100000 members In more than
30 states, and is preparing to invade
Canada.

than his adobe hut Of the last three
weeks. he dictated the following state
ment:
THE taking of Juarez is of a very
great military and political Importance
to the revolutionists and 1t assures US
Of a complete triumph in very short
time.
The forces which defended the town
fought valiantly. They owe their de-
feat to the fact that our forces were
inspired in this fight by the spirit to
win political liberty, while the federals
were only held in their ranks by the
yoke of discipline. The majority are in
the army against their will. For this
reason, I wish to announce to all SOL
diers that will set them free as soon
as 1 can find a way to insure some
means Of support for those who do not
wish to incorporate themselves in my
forces.
"At present 1 cannot set them free,
as they have no means of subsistence,
which would be dangerous. AS far az
I can now observe, the majority of the
prisoners will swell my forces. Some
of the officers am sure will enter my
army and those who wish to remain
true to the government of Porf1rio Dfaz
will be exchanged for prisoners of war
or political prisoners. (Signed)

able reports from Russia, India and Ar
gentine gave a life today to the wheat
market here. There were many COM
plants of extreme dryness and high tenn
peratureS prevailing in southern Russia.
Insect damage was also mentioned as be-
ing serious. Dispatches from India told
of plague in the Punjaub greatly delaying
shipments. AS for the Argentine predic-
lions were that the number of cargoes to
leave for Europe this week would be light
Rainfall in the DakotaS and Minnesota
received only secondary attention, being
regarded as too scant.
Strength at foreign centers led to an
additional advance in Chicago. The close
was steady at S91s989Ac, a net gain of
11zc.
Opening prices were a shade to &c
higher. July started at STAG to $50, a
gain of 1-16c and rose to SSQ88hc.
CORN-With offerings light and demand
good corn showed quite bit of strength.
July opened the same as last night, Ac
up at 523sc to 5215c, touched SPA Q522sc and
then advanced to 521zQ529sc.
Rather important speculative buying
carried the market still higher The close
was steady with July 1Ac up at 527sc.
OATS-Oats were firm but unusually
slow. Trade was merely local. July start
ed unchanged to 1sc higher at 3215c to
329sc and, held at the upper level.

The CONVICTS TO dine
IN STYLE ON XMAS
LJnfOrtunatGS Will Be Cared
as Usual

While the world rejoices and the
more fortunate ones enjoy the good
cheer of home and fierside Sumter's
wards, the men in stripes, will not
be forgotten, and good Christmas
dinner awaits them. Supt. Christ
ian has planned the menu already,
and when the seventy-five convicts
sit down to dinner here tomorrow a
tempting meal of turkey, celery,
fruits, cakes and other dainties will
be theirs. A feature of interest will
be the presentation of Christmas
boxes sent them by relatives and
always eagerly seized upon by the
recipients. 1t will be a rest day
and a Christmas holiday in fact for
these unfortunates, white and black
alike.
