Barrett Grocer Co.. In viewing the
situation as it now obtains in the cot
ton growing states and right here at
home we must remember that cotton
will always be the predominating fac
tor in the business of the cotton grow
ing belt by reason of the fact that cot
ton has made its place in the world of
trade and cannot be supplanted by any
other crop However, we have been
brought to see the bold fact that the
growing of cotton as the only crop
from which to derive an income is in
deed an uncertain and Improbable
business. 1t is therefore conclusive
that we must grow other crops and
look to other things to patch out the
farm income and increase the prosper
ity of the farm life. Any commodity,
if grown in large enough bulk, will
create its own market. For instance
if all the farmers of a community
would agree to grow enough of any
one article to ship in carload lots it
would hardly be necessary for the pro-
ducers to search for the buyer, the
buyer would search for him. We have
always believed in growing the finish
ed product on the farm. Grow corn
and peas and other feed stuff and make
hogs and other live stock out of these
products, the price of these feed stuffs
can be nearly doubled in this manner.
The same proposition of raising in car
load lots applies here. Do the same
with hay, and stover raise live stock
of different kinds and sell in carload
lots by combining with the neighbors
when necessary. The Barrett Grocer
Co. will always do all in its power to
broaden the market for the products
of our farms.

F. j. Casey: The lands in Holmes
county are as rich and even more pro-
ductive than those Of the historic Nile
or of the Oahu Valley of New Zealand,
and to depend wholly upon one crop
has always seemed absurd to me. The
growing of cotton VII continue pre-
dominant feature of Holmes cOunty's
agricultural interests, and can be pro-
fitably carried on, on limited scale,
even under the most adverse boil wee
vii conditions, but to depend wholly
on cotton--or any one CROPS almost
like flying into the face of Provi
dence" There are so many things
that can be proftably raised here that
the destruction of one crop by insect
pests should have no effect upon bust
ness conditions whatever. The only
trouble so far has been that there has
not been established regular market
for anything except the so called sta
ple--cotton. Assure the farmers that
whatever they raise can be sold at a
profitable figure in Lexington, and they
will quickly diversity. | am heartily
in favor of a concerted move on the
part of our business people to this end,
and will cheerfully lend whatever in
fluence ! may possess toward this
"consummation devoutly to be
wished.

D. Z. Hoskirs: | believe the farm

preconeerued move of this kind looking
to these results.
Peoples Drug Store: We know
that our business cannot prosper un-
less the county at large prospers, and
under present conditions it seems
there can be no prosperity in the grow
ing of cotton, as the only income crop,
therefore, we are favorable to the
idea of creating markets for the farm
ers products, and we are willing to
aid all we can.
Chas. c. Swinney, of Swinney &
Stigler: We sympathze with the
farmer in toto in this fight, and we
stand ready to back our words by aC-
tion. We agree with you as to the
creation of a market for these pro-
ducts and believe that from the embry-
onic factors of this proposition a solu-
ton can be evolved only by precon-
certed action on the part of all con-
cerned.
Eric Norqusit: ! assure that no one
feels the necessity of doing something
to overcome the present conditions more
than |. Since cotton cannot he profit
ably grown as the only money crop
am willing to do all in my power to
help find a market for all the products
of the farm and use all the merchant
able products of the same in my busi-
ness.
Pahlen Bros: Cotton must be grown
on smaller scale than heretofore, but
fertilizer ought to be used lavishly.
Everything that is used on the farmers
table ought to be grown, as far as pos
sible, on the farmers land The sur
plus can be sold. We are in the fight
and more than willing to share our
part of the possibility.
d. W. BeaIl, of Beall Hardware Co. ::
Taking into consideration the ravages
being wrought by the boil weevil
which makes the cotton crop uncertain,
and feeling that our only hope for pros
perity, is by diversifcation, we will
join with the merchants of Lexington
in an effort to find market for what
the farmers may raise
J. l.. McRae, of McRae's: | think
you are right. We are going to have
to meet this issue squareIy and we are
ready to do anything in our power
consistent with sound business prin-
ciples to create a market for the farm
products.
B. w. Lipsey, of Lipsey-Doty Co..
We are heartily in accord with the
idea of building up markets for the

THESE PEOPLE WILL
NOT SUFFER FROM
THE FLOOD.
Chicot Country Making A Spe-
cfaIty Of Canned Goods
Those Who will, Will Live.

There is no denying the fact
that those planters and farmers
in the flooded zone will expert
ence a hard time the omi n g
year.
Their crops have been entirely
lost, many of their cattle drowned,
and they are face to face with a
heartrending problem.
It is natural to suppose that
the towns and cities contiguous
to these devastated fields and
homes will experience consider
able discomfort, because Of the
fact that that which affects the
country in general affects the
cities and towns which furnish
them with their yearly supply.
But this hurt should be con-
fined strictly to the territory in
undated.
This country, this soil, this
climate, is too good to us to per
nit of any suffering, and those
sections not afflicted by the food
direct, but only by the the siege
of rain water and other weather
conditions, should not fear want.
Look what is going on in the
|Chicot section land the same can
be done everywhere in the par
ish outside Of the flooded dis
tricts. The item, which fol-
lows, is taken from the Ghicot
notes to the Eunice Star:
Canned syrup in Chicot is be-
coming popular in Vile Platte.
It is retailed from L. I. Ortego,s
and {. Coreil's at sixty cents per
gallon. Canned tomatoes from
Chicot are also seen in our gro
Gerry stores. Varieties Of vege-
tables, fruits and live stock are
often reported from that section.
Let Others take the Chicot sug-
gestion and the hard time prob
lem viii become easy.

The AGES OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES.

In an article in the June
American Magazine entitled "Oul
Next President and Some
Others" the author, Ray Stan
naEd Baker, presents the follow.
ing facts:
1t is interesting to know that
every one of the seven candi.
dates, even including Roosevelt,
has been admitted to the bar,
and five of them have had sue
cessful careers in the law. Two
have been judges. No one of
them is a business man, and no
one, save Nh. Harmon, has had
any considerable experience with
business affairs, either large or
small. No one of them is a rich
man and though several of them,
by virtue Of their high talents,
have been able at times to earn
large incomes, they have all been
hard workers. Two or three of
them have been relatively poor
men all their lives, living frugally
and devoting themselves unre-
servedly to public work.
All of the candidates, save
Wilson, have had lond experience
in public Office, andl in dealing
with public men and public cues
tons. While most of them can
be called able politicians, no one
of them belongs to that extreme
type known as a machine poll
tician; a boss. There is to the
of every one of them not
a little sound public service.
All of the seven, save possibly
Harmon, are at the very prime
Of life for national leadership.
These are their ages:
Underwood, SO years old.
Roosevelt, 81 years old.
Taft, 55 years old.
Wilson, Sc years old.
LaFollette, 81 years old.
Clark, 81 years old.
Harmon, Sc years old.
Tt is also of curious rather
han of important interest that
most of the seven were born in
which have long been fer
lie in the production of Presi-
and presidential candidates.

GRUBER IN FACTION FIGHT
Brooks Presses Candidacy
Against Leaders Wish.

\ good deal OF rivalry was exhibited
last night at a meeting OF the Eth and
18th Republican Assembly Districts, held
at-the Headquarters of the 18th Assembly
District. at No. 1863 West ll7th street. be-
tween Franklin Brooks. former Assistant

and Frank Yawger, the candidate of Alb
raham Gruber. who is the leader in the
nth Assembly District
According TO Mr. Brooks an agreement
was made in January, 1872 between Alex
ander Brough and Abraham Gruber that
Brough should 20 10 Congress and that
whoever Gruber should select should 70
to the Senate. Yawger. according 70
Brooks. was Gruber's' candidate. At the
meeting last night Brough was noni-
mated. There was only one vote against
Brooks, according 10 his statement, and
when the latter asked 10 be excused from
voting he was denounced IN a TRADE by
Gruber. who accused him Of violating
party principle and being foe of the
organization of the machine in his dis
trict.
Mr.. Brooks then offered 70 allow the
people to chose their own candidate at
the primaries, where he said that he
would contest his opponents candidacy
or allow the matter to be arbitrated by
one man chosen by each of the two as
pirants for the office. Both his offers
were refused
